Fu Lingfeng found some clothes and then went to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and hadn't adjusted the temperature; ice-cold water poured down instantly.
He closed his eyes, feeling a pain spreading through his heart, like a virus eroding his internal organs.
Gu Nanqiao entered the bedroom and forcefully slammed the door shut with the back of her hand.
"Bang—"
The loud noise reverberated to the bathroom, and Fu Lingfeng wiped his face, knowing that they had finally reached this stage.
He didn't know how long he had been under the cold water; only after feeling utterly chilled did he turn off the valve, change his clothes, and come out.
Standing at the bedroom door, he could hear the faint sobbing inside.
It was the first time he heard her cry.
Fu Lingfeng grasped the handle but didn't open the door. He hadn't mentioned last night's incident, and Gu Nanqiao surely wouldn't ask.
Yet, what had happened was crystal clear to both of their hearts.
