At night, there were no stars outside the window. The neon lights that persistently shone bright lit up the city and kept it running day after day, even when the clock struck zero, signaling the end of the old day. The lights of this city would never completely go out.

Lying in bed, Gu Siyu had one leg stretched out, with a thin blanket draped over her waist. After a moment, she turned over and slept with the blanket between her legs.

The game she played that night brought her an exciting rush. Gu Siyu was now a bit torn between wanting to make money steadily and wanting to savor the excitement she had never experienced before.

She looked at the night view and pressed the power button on the remote control with her finger, causing the room to darken and block out the outside lights. The whole world seemed colorless, but when she pressed the button again, the world became bright again.

This was a game that only children would like, but Gu Siyu, an adult, enjoyed it very much.

She held the remote control for the curtains and pressed it repeatedly, opening and closing them until she got tired and closed her eyes.

She had trouble sleeping in strange places and was a bit homesick. She sat cross-legged and searched her bag, taking out a pair of white dog ears with fuzzy inner ears and only one gold ball earring left. She adjusted it and took a photo with her phone.

Because she couldn't sleep, she felt like the city was hell and wanted to drag someone down with her. She found the selfie mode and recorded a short video. Raising her wrist, she licked the back of her hand with her tongue and said, "Woof."

After three seconds, she sent it successfully.

...

The summer heat had passed, and overnight, the weather became gloomy. Gu Siyu's collar and clothes that she had hung out to dry yesterday were still not completely dry, so she tied the collar to a clothes hanger and hung it out to dry on the balcony.

Staying in the hotel was very comfortable, but the only inconvenience was that she didn't bring enough clothes to change into. She had to wear a bathrobe even during the day. She called He Xiao and asked her to bring her some clothes.

He Xiao had a job and could only come over after switching shifts with someone else. When she came, she looked at where she was staying and couldn't help but marvel at it. She didn't quite understand why she was staying in such an expensive hotel, but she didn't ask too much. Gu Siyu was someone who was hard to figure out.

Gu Siyu took her clothes and went to the bathroom to change. She said, "The customer service will come later to bring dessert. You can experience it here."

"OK!" Xiao He sat on the bed, turned on the TV, and chatted with Gu Siyu, "Have you seen the recent news?"

"What news?" Gu Siyu pressed the spray button and sprayed it on her neck. It was the first time she wore that thing, and after a while, she felt a sense of restraint on her neck. She turned to the mirror and looked, but there was nothing special.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and Xiao He went to get the dessert and asked, "How long are you going to stay here?"

"It depends." Gu Siyu cleaned herself up, blew her hair, and changed into a white dress. Xiao He had already sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and started eating. She held her phone and took some pictures of the dessert and the scenery outside the window. Xiao He asked, "Siyu, can I take a video?"

"Sure." Gu Siyu sat on the chair opposite her with one leg crossed, looked at her phone for the time, and asked, "Did you add Huo Junxian's WeChat?"

"Yes." Xiao He nodded. After recording the video, she sent it to her friends' circle. "But Sister Huo rarely posts anything. I didn't chat with her much. I heard Jiayang talked to her before, but she didn't reply. I figured she's been busy lately, so I didn't want to bother her."
