As the sky darkened into the night, stars awoke from their slumber to join the moon. Inside the shared bedroom of Yue Ling and Lu Tian, the retired model stood in front of the bathroom door. She had changed out of her clothes and was wearing a simple white robe. Her long dark hair flows down her shoulders to her back and she stares at the slightly ajar door.
She struggles with a hard gulp and raises a hand to open the door. However, the moment her palm touched the doorknob, she doesn't turn it but remained in a place like a statue.
"How did it turn out like this?"
Her words fell in a murmur as she didn't dare to take another step from her position.
After Lu Tian carried her up the stairs, he placed her down in her closet room. He told her to wait while he prepares the warm bath for her.
And like an obedient child, she did as she was told.
