This noon, Mi Cai and I each drove back to Suzhou in our own cars. She went straight to Zhuomei, while I headed to the supermarket to buy some groceries before returning to that old house.

Tonight, I wanted to prepare a special dinner for her.

After washing all the groceries, I cleaned the house and watered the wilting plants on the balcony. Finally, I went to Mi Cai's room.

Before she entered the room, I extinguished the cigarette as quickly as possible and opened the window, frantically fanning the air with a pillow.

Mi Cai called out my name from outside the door. I didn't respond, trying to buy time to destroy the evidence of smoking.

I heard her footsteps getting closer, and then the door swung open. She was startled to see me and asked, "What are you doing in my room?"
