Qin Ze twisted open the door lock of the rental room, changed shoes, took off his coat, and tossed the newly bought beer and grilled skewers onto the coffee table.
He turned on the TV, switched to the news channel.
"As the Spring Festival approaches, it's time for family reunions…"
Qin Ze halted, walked back, picked up the remote control, changed to the movie channel, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Wiping away the mist on the mirror, Qin Ze looked at himself as the myriad lights shone through the window, making the bathroom as gloomy as his face.
He dried his face and, as usual, walked to the shen kan dedicated to Lady Xuan Nu, lit three sticks of incense with a lighter, bowed three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
He opened the beer, sprawled onto the sofa, and stared blankly at the TV.
The TV was airing a recent popular fantasy drama, and wasn't the main villain Hua Qianmian? It took Qin Ze a while to recognize her.
