At 6:10 p.m., the echoing sound of high heels tapping crisply along the vacant staff dormitory corridor could be heard.
"Xiao Guo, are you... Did you have a fight with your husband?"
The auntie who looked after the staff dormitory at Nanhu University had worked there for thirty years and claimed there wasn't a staff member within ten miles that she didn't know.
Even though she wasn't a gossipy auntie, seeing the married Guo Minjie spending a week alone in the staff dormitory made it hard for her not to ask.
This obviously wasn't normal.
"Auntie, we've separated."
Guo Minjie tried to force a smile, her left hand unconsciously gripping the thin strap on her shoulder, trying to keep her emotions stable.
She knew all too well that there were no secrets in the system, and that this day would inevitably come.
But it had come too quickly.
She had only been living in the staff dormitory for a few days when her situation was already noticed.
