The Test (I)

Hui Lan slept through three whole days.

From time to time, she would be awakened whenever a young maid came in to wipe her face and neck. As for food, she simply ate whatever was given to her, but she was asleep for the most part.

On the third night, she could no longer tolerate the stiffness all over her body and immediately searched for a shower when it was time for the young maid to come in.

There was a shower room built in one of the corners of her room, so she merely asked for some clothes from the young maid and asked her to leave. 

The young maid was reluctant to leave Hui Lan alone at first, but because she insisted, the young maid couldn't do anything about it.

After the maid was gone, Hui Lan was once again alone in the room.

The sky outside was already a deep orange colour. 

…Sigh, how she wished to go outside again.

She pulled herself together and headed straight for a shower.
