After entering the room, since there was no private bathroom and we were both resigned to just making do for the night, neither Mi Cai nor I bothered to wash up. Dressed neatly, she lay on the bed while I sat on a wooden chair. Under the dim light, we sat in silence facing each other.

"If you want to smoke, go ahead."

I looked at Mi Cai. It seemed like the first time she was willingly accommodating my desire to smoke, but ironically, that made me even less willing to harm her with secondhand smoke.

To completely rid myself of the urge to smoke, I crumpled up the pack of cigarettes and tossed it into the trash can beside me.

"Why did you throw away your cigarettes?"

I didn't answer her directly, instead I said, "Aren't you tired? You should rest early."@@novelbin@@

"What about you?"

"I'll sleep after you fall asleep."

Mi Cai looked at me, hesitating as if she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?"
