A wooden box holding darkest and deepest secrets

Ming Jia froze for a second. She took a moment before asking, "Are you sure the key can unlock the almirah?"

Zhenyi, who was squatting down near the bedpost, stood up with a jerk and wiped her clothes which were now shaded with dust. "Someone had burned down his brain cells for hiding a little key. It can't be for nothing. Let me check if it can open the almirah." 

Truly, someone wouldn't go to such an extent for nothing. The key was really a key to something of someone's darkest secrets. 

Ming Jia agreed. She just hoped that the key could unlock the almirah. However, she was not ready to unlock Ah-Shaan's deepest and darkest secrets, though she knew of them.
