After ending the video call, He Qianhui blow-dried her wet, long hair.
After putting the hairdryer away, He Qianhui received a message from Feng Nuo.
She was already at the bar with the client.
And she wouldn't be coming back tonight.
However, the message also emphasized, repeatedly, that she wouldn't delay tomorrow's flight.
After all, her luggage was still at the hotel; she had to come back early to pack.
He Qianhui charged her phone and then turned off the room lights, leaving only the bathroom light on for when she needed to get up in the night, so it wouldn't be pitch-dark.
But not long after He Qianhui fell asleep, she actually had a dream.
In the dream, she was tied up tightly and fixed to the bed, and no matter how much she struggled, the rope that bound her only got tighter and tighter.
Then He Qianhui stopped struggling, to avoid causing herself more suffering.
