「Early morning.」
It snowed last night, making today particularly cold. The small mountain village was transformed into a world dressed in white, so unfamiliar that Zhou Li almost didn't recognize it.
Standing by the bed and admiring the scene for a moment, he began to tidy up the bedding.
Since he was leaving today, he had to remove the pillow inserts and comforter filling, strip the bedsheets, and also flip up and fold the mattress padding. These would be put away in the closet later. Pillowcases, bedsheets, and duvet covers had to be taken to be washed.
Zhou Li first gathered these items and placed them on the bed before turning to Huai Xu, who was still lying splayed out, head turned to stare at him. "Aren't you going to get up and pack?"
"I will."
"Then hurry up."
"Oh."
Huai Xu rolled over and clambered out of bed.
