Opening all the windows to let fresh air in, Xue Panpan stayed at a friend's house for a week until she couldn't smell any paint or furniture odors at home anymore, and then she returned.
Before going home, Xue Panpan called Han Yifan.
She prepared a table full of dishes, and it wasn't until the food was reheated for the second time that Han Yifan finally arrived.
Looking at the revitalized home, Han Yifan opened his mouth, but ultimately asked nothing.
"Let's eat; no matter how big the issue is, we can talk after the meal, okay?"
Xue Panpan handed him a pair of chopsticks and started eating on her own, without urging him.
Before coming, Han Yifan thought Xue Panpan would kneel at his feet and plead with him, asking for his forgiveness for her reckless past and for him to accept her again.
What unfolded in front of him took Han Yifan by surprise.
As he thought aimlessly, Han Yifan shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice, only to feel that the food tasted as bland as chewing wax.
