Lin Xingzhu was led upstairs, her wrist firmly gripped by someone's hand.
The elevator skipped the twelfth floor and went straight to the thirteenth.
Lin Xingzhu held her breath, eyes never leaving Bai Xiying as she opened the door with one hand.
As soon as the door was opened, she was pushed inside. Before her feet could even stabilize on the floor, the door slammed shut with a loud thud.
Lin Xingzhu thought they were now locked in the room, and surely Bai Xiying would start to relax a little. But reality proved otherwise; the situation was far from over.
Unnoticed, Bai Xiying had already shifted behind her, and the hand that had been gripping Lin Xingzhu's wrist was now released. But what followed was the sensation of Bai Xiying's arm against hers.
Lin Xingzhu realized she was being gently guided further into the room.
"Wait, what is this about?" Lin Xingzhu asked, her voice faltering.
Before she could get an answer, she was led to a dark room.
Her pupils dilated involuntarily as she looked at the mysterious door she had yet to approach, her heart racing faster than usual.
Her lips trembled, and her mind seemed unnervingly clear.
Had Bai Xiying decided to stop hiding her secrets?
"You wanted to understand me, didn't you?" Bai Xiying murmured from behind her, her body close enough that Lin Xingzhu could feel the heat radiating from her. She tilted her head, almost whispering in her ear, "Open it..."
There was something unsettling in her eyes, a depth of emotion that Lin Xingzhu couldn't quite place. Her voice was low and almost burning with desire. "You've uncovered almost all of my secrets, found all the truths. But there's still one place you need to see with your own eyes. Only then will you understand the complete me."
Bai Xiying's hand slid down Lin Xingzhu's arm, until it settled on the hand she had let fall to her side. With a gentle pressure, she guided Lin Xingzhu's hand to the cold door handle.
Something about the words "the complete me" seemed to hypnotize Lin Xingzhu. Her lips dried as she murmured, "Opening it will give me the complete picture of you?"
Bai Xiying chuckled softly, a dark smile tugging at her lips. "Yes. You're just one step away."
