After attending two classes at school, Lin Shuang decided to visit his sister Yan Han.
On the way, he bought some supplies she might be running short of to bring to her.
Lin Shuang, carrying bags big and small, opened the door.
And caught sight of Yan Han, her hands clutching a broom.
She was wearing a housekeeping apron, but apparently put it on inside out, with the patterned side facing in.
The hem of the apron was turned up, tucked at her waist.
One of her slippers was missing, leaving one bare foot pressed against the floor.
Hearing the door open, Yan Han turned her unfocused, vacant eyes toward the entrance.
For a moment, Lin Shuang thought he saw a flash of a surprised smile on her face.
But that must have been his imagination… He really hadn't seen his sister smile at him in a long time.
Lin Shuang closed the door behind him and changed his shoes.
Yan Han was still gripping the broom tightly, looking straight in his direction.
