After covering his daughter with the quilt and watching her close her eyes and fall asleep, Chen Lizhou gently closed the bedroom door and turned to walk into the room he shared with his wife, Su Fangfang.
The room remained unchanged from when his wife left, without the slightest alteration. When she had just left, Chen Lizhou's parents considered whether to help Chen Lizhou sort through his wife's belongings, but Chen Lizhou refused, saying he could do it himself.
And until now, he still hadn't made a move.
Against the wall was the wardrobe, with Chen Lizhou's clothes hanging on the left side and Su Fangfang's filling up the right, arranged neatly with a faint fragrance of laundry detergent.
By the window was Su Fangfang's dressing table, where her frequently used skincare and makeup products were placed. Lipsticks were organized by shade from light to dark, and the powder box was left open, still in the state as when she last used it.
