Mo Beichen saw her on the verge of tears, and he felt a wave of irritation, especially at seeing her in those plain clothes, which he found eye-searing. He pointed to the neatly folded clothes on the chair by the bed and said, "Go take a shower, and come out ready for dinner."
After speaking, he no longer looked at her and turned to leave the room, feeling increasingly troubled. He walked into the living room and picked up the pack of cigarettes and lighter from the coffee table, moving to the balcony to smoke.
Buhui stared blankly at the clothes on the chair, hesitated for a moment, then decided not to touch them. Instead, she picked up her bundle, took out a change of clothes, and headed to the bathroom.
After showering, Buhui was already so hungry she felt dizzy. She lacked the strength to blow-dry her hair, not to mention having gotten used to letting it air-dry during her four years in the mountains.
