A day before.
Xi Ping walked toward her room and was thrilled when she saw the clean and luxurious room. The room assigned to her had a living room, a master bedroom, a kitchen, and a living room with a balcony.
It didn't reek like the houses in Crystal Cove did. Neither it was dirty and ruined like the room in the Crystal Cove base.
Once inside the master bedroom, Xi Ping was delighted to see a clean bathroom.
When she saw what seemed like a shower handle, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and turned it on.
Xi Ping stood under the cascading water, feeling its coolness against her skin.
She closed her eyes, savoring the sensation, and chuckled softly.
It had been ages since she experienced something so simple yet luxurious—a proper shower.
The water washed away the grime and weariness accumulated from her time in the filthy and perilous Crystal Cove.
