All her clothes were in Hangzhou. Qin Zhi'ai knew she'd be bringing it all back to Beijing after the Chinese Lunar New Year, so she'd already planned to pack as little as possible.
Qin Zhi'ai's bed was piled with things she had decided she didn't need to take.
She was so tired after packing that she grabbed it all in her arms and tossed it in the cabinet. As she walked to the bathroom to take a shower, she noticed a small gift box on the floor.
She stopped and stared at the box for a long time before picking it up.
She didn't open it, but she knew it contained the ring she had found in Gu Yusheng's backyard.
She had forgotten about the ring in the suitcase when she gave her bank card and gifts from Gu Yusheng to Liang Doukou.
Qin Zhi'ai squatted on the floor to pick up the box. She stared at it for a long time before picking it up, placing it on the bed, and walking to the bathroom.
