"There are no bathing supplies."
"I'll go and buy some."
"Turn right from the door and drive for about ten minutes; there's a shop." Bai Xue said, basing her directions on her previous trip there.
Gongze Yu asked her about her preferred brand and left the house.
Bai Xue stood in the living room waiting, her reflection visible in the floor-to-ceiling window. It showed her how pathetic she looked. She closed her eyes against the mirrors judgement, her own gaze stabbing her like a poisonous arrow.
Are you trying to force me to leave, Su Yan?
Didn't I say I'd let you go? Why do you need to resort to these tactics?
She couldn't understand or make sense of his actions.
Gongze Yu returned shortly, bearing not just bathing supplies, but also fresh groceries.
"You go and take a bath, I'll cook some porridge." He figured that if there was running water and electricity, cooking should be possible.
"There's no need." She had no appetite and wasn't hungry.
