With a couple of flip switches, there was still no light.
Tianxue said, "There's no electricity. How can we possibly live here? Don't hold back from me."
"Who said there isn't?" Wanqing adjusted to the dimness in the room, put down Dangdang, and walked to the kitchen. She turned on the main power switch to light up the room.
Tianxue, a bit frustrated, closed the door. Hearing the sound of Wanqing turning on the gas, she approached and suggested, "It's been unused for some years now; we should call the gas company to check it."
Wanqing ignited the stove and quickly turned it off. "You're right," she said. She then turned on the tap, releasing a flow of rusty water.
"Let's stay at my place for today," Tianxue suggested. She rented a house that's usually empty and would be sufficient for them to rest. Aware that her sister had just returned and probably didn't want to be around too many people, she made sure to explain first.
Seeing Tianxue's explanation, Wanqing visibly relaxed.
