Story synopsis
A temporary maintenance closure at the school allows Li Jian to return home a few hours earlier than usual. Believing Long Qi Yue is still at the company, he instead sees newly purchased shoes, two cups, and an untidy room, with the lingering scent of smoke—something the family usually avoids—hanging in the air. The sound of running water comes from the bathroom; as he tries to find an ordinary explanation, he finds the suspicious signs increasingly difficult to ignore. The excerpt unfolds the mistrust within the marriage through everyday details.
