Lin Fei was drenched from her head to her toe. Her warm brown hair was stuck to her face, she looked horrible. She knelt down on the ground, hugging her knees. Her face was pale. Her lips were pursed together and her body trembled from the cold. Even though it was not winter, the water that poured out from the hoses was cold.
Lin Fei's school jacket was missing, she wore only her white school shirt which had been torn. It was so soaking wet that the fabric had turned translucent, the shirt stuck to her body like second skin. The young girl's body was fully exposed and the physical frailty that Mo Li saw was horrifying.
As if feeling Mo Li's eyes on her, Lin Fei slowly lifted her eyes among the shower of water. When their eyes met, Lin Fei's lips which were frozen purple curled into a smile at Mo Li.
