1169 What Was Ou Ming’s World Like Now? (1/2)

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he picked up his bowl of beef noodles and turned to face a different direction.

Yu Lili sat down to rest in the hotel. Shen Zhilie suggested taking Old Mrs. Shen out to the popular park nearby for a walk. As the local, Yu Lili naturally provided them with a list of things to do and places to visit in Kingstown.

They were out for a whole afternoon. Around 2 p.m., they started feeling hungry. They randomly picked a place to eat. Afterward, they continued exploring the city the rest of the afternoon away. By the time they returned to the hotel, it was nighttime.

After dinner, Yu Lili told them she still needed to work. She said goodbye to the old lady and headed home.

As she stood at her own door, she felt for her keys. Upon opening the door, she was faced with familiar surroundings. The invisible strings that had been tied around her heart and body suddenly loosened.

She was home. She was finally home.

Although this home had no family or loved ones, it was the only place on earth where she felt safe. It was good to be back.

Yu Lili pulled out a set of pajamas and headed into the shower. As the hot droplets of water cascaded down her body from the top of her head, she felt herself relax even more.

After showering and changing into pajamas, Yu Lili applied a face mask that she usually couldn't bear to use. She then switched on her digital screen and started to sketch.

Nearly 30 minutes later, it took the chime of her cell phone to break her out of her reverie. It was 10 p.m. and bedtime.

Yu Lili washed the face-mask off her face, switched off her digital screen, and laid on the bed. But, she couldn't fall asleep. Throughout the whole day, her heart had felt like a dry fountain in the middle of an abandoned park. It suddenly felt as if that dry fountain had come to life, spilling the water that had lay dormant underneath for so long.
