Shen Lu woke up on the soft, spacious bed feeling more refreshed than ever before.
Today was the last day of her novice benefit month. As much as Shen Lu wanted to sleep in, she still forced herself to get out of bed.
After today, she would no longer be able to scavenge trash in exchange for ingredients from the store.
After quickly washing up, Shen Lu went to the guest bedroom to check on Fu Cheng.
The man opened his right eye as she came in. Shen Lu turned the TV, which had shut off automatically, back on. Then she adjusted Fu Cheng's pillow to make him more comfortable.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Shen Lu asked.
Fu Cheng just watched her, silent.
'He hadn't slept well.'
'Compared to this soft, spacious bed, he missed the hard plank bed in that tiny rental apartment.'
'Even though they were still under the same roof, it wasn't the same as before, when they were squeezed together on a single bed.'
