...
Xiyan suddenly stopped crying and looked up with tear-filled eyes.
There was another knock on the door.
Then a voice followed.
"Is there anyone inside?"
Her consciousness was pulled back to reality in that second.
Xiyan quickly wiped her tears, cleared her throat, and tried to steady her voice, "Yes, someone is here."
The girl outside: "Sorry, I heard a strange sound, so I came to check."
Xiyan wanted to reply to her, but the tears were still falling.
She bit her lower lip and didn't speak further.
The person outside seemed to have walked away.
Only when there was no more sound from outside did Xiyan stand up straight and push open the door to leave.
Outside, at the sink, there was a mirror; Xiyan looked into it and, as expected, her makeup was smudged from crying.
This appearance would certainly be noticed by others.
She quickly took out a compact from her bag and began to touch up her makeup.
Through the mirror, she saw a girl standing at the entrance.
