The red ropes hanging from above seemed to settle into calmness after a storm.

Mu Qingyue, her voice faltering, bowed her head, as if she had lost all confidence to resist.
Xiao Yinruo, who was originally standing in the corner and later sat all night by the table, watched this scene in a daze, her alluring eyes now dull.
Amidst the indistinct rain, Xiao Yinruo instinctively looked out the window, but her stagnant mind couldn't process the current situation.
Out of the corner of her eye, when she saw Lu Jin'an kneeling down, she instinctively looked over, watching as Lu Jin'an picked up the 'oath' Mu Qingyue just recited and calmly placed it on Mu Qingyue's back.
