Ruan Tianling found that, after drinking tea, he felt not more but less awake. With half an hour left before he had to get up, he lay down, and continued sleeping.
Yufei stepped out of the bathroom, neatly dressed, and seeing Ruan Tianling deep in sleep, she picked up her prepared handbag and quietly left the room.
Aunt Li downstairs was already packed and ready. She recommended a driver to escort them, but Yufei declined, opting for a taxi instead.
The taxi arrived in front of a public restroom and Yufei asked the driver to stop. She told Aunt Li that she had a stomachache and asked her to wait for her.
Aunt Li waited outside the restroom for Yufei, not long after, a poorly-dressed middle-aged woman came out from inside.
Aunt Li didn't give her much attention and continued to wait. After ten minutes, she walked up to the restroom door and asked softly, "Miss Jian, are you alright?"
"Wait a little longer." Yufei's voice echoed from a stall inside.
