I woke up in an incensed room.
Master and Senior were standing beside the bed I was laying on.
"Am I back?"
"You’re awake!"
"Where’s the ring?"
"On your finger, why?" Senior asked.
I raised my left hand up and saw it on my index finger.
I was one hundred percent certain that I've been holding it in my palm.
Tao Tie said it was a living thing? Did it attach itself to my finger?
"Did you put it on my finger, Senior?"
Shaking his head, he said, "It’s good that you’re back. Tell me, what’s inside?"
I knew better than to honestly answer his question. "Very dirty and messy. Strong stench."
"Considering the trash it takes in, it makes sense. It must’ve been hard for you. Pass the ring to me. The couple’s about to get here. I’ll return it to them."
I nodded. "I’ll return it when they get here."
"Alright, I won’t steal your credit."
Senior smiled and he and Master left the room.
