When ah Nian came out of the bathroom, he heard someone knocking on the door and shouting. He stared at the door for a moment before walking back into the bathroom with his head lowered, as if he had not heard what she had said.
However, his tightly furrowed brows from before had finally relaxed.
Ah Nian looked at the human-skinned mask that he had put in a sealed bag. He took it out, cleaned it, and put it back on carefully.
He also applied a band-aid to the cheekbone below her eyelids.
By the time he was done, more than ten minutes had passed.
He heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door.
He couldn't let her know about this face yet, or else all his previous efforts would be in vain.
He had promised.
……
Outside the door, Su Li saw that he did not open the door and was so angry that he hammered the door twice. Then he leaned against the wall and slid down. He curled up into a ball, cursing under his breath and sneezed fiercely.
