Ou Mingxuan was wandering lost in thought in the living room when he suddenly heard a sound coming from Qin Mengying's room.
Could it be that she... never left?
This possibility made Ou Mingxuan's heart race, as he nervously approached the room step by step.
The door was ajar.
He reached out and gently pushed it open.
The room was unlit, shrouded in darkness.
Ou Mingxuan took a few steps in and was overwhelmed by the heavy smell of smoke and alcohol, forcing him to step back repeatedly, accidentally stepping on a rolling bottle and nearly falling.
Cursing, Ou Mingxuan fumbled along the wall until he found the switch.
With a "click", the room flooded with light.
Ou Mingxuan surveyed the scene, shocked, almost thinking he had entered the wrong place.
The once faint fragrance was gone, replaced by a haze of smoke and disorder; the floor littered with bottles and cigarette butts, several spots burned black by cigarettes, even the curtains had a big burnt patch.
