"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Dubian Che replied casually.
"Nothing? Your hair is all messed up. Did you get into a fight?"
Dubian Che touched his hair. "Just got scolded."
"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Really, I'm fine. Let's drop it. I'm going to take a shower; I have to get up early tomorrow to make mochi." Dubian Che left the living room.
On the second floor, Kiyono Lin dried her hair and walked back to her room.
The window was open, and the chilly night air streamed in, making her shiver.
"Why is the window open?" she asked, somewhat accusatorily.
Jiutiao Meijie ignored her, grabbing some clothes to change into and leaving the room.
As they passed by each other, she murmured as if talking to herself, "Really pitiful."
Kiyono Lin noticed her gaze and followed it to her own blue pajamas... at the chest area.
"Childish." She slammed the window shut.
The curtains turned translucent white in the sunlight, and a hint of cold air lingered. Kiyono Lin woke up.
