Fang Yi rode his bike home, and when he arrived at his front door, he took out his keys, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately turned around and knocked on Xia Ziqi's door. After a while, the door opened.
"Do you... do you need something?" Xia Ziqi asked.
"Is Cai Cai back yet?" Fang Yi countered.
Xia Ziqi nodded. Fang Yi looked past Xia Ziqi and saw the interior of her home, which was clean yet seemingly dimly lit.
"Maybe... you can come in and sit for a bit," Xia Ziqi said through clenched teeth, as if making a very difficult decision.
"If I come in, your husband will get angry," Fang Yi said.
"He's not home tonight, he went out," Xia Ziqi said.
After that, Xia Ziqi stepped aside to invite Fang Yi in. Since she had offered, Fang Yi didn't hold back and walked inside.
The house wasn't very spacious and had a faint musty smell, but it was tidy. "You... you take a seat, I'll get you some water," Xia Ziqi said.
