Chapter 137 Teach Me

At two in the morning, Elm returned to his room.

He glanced at the slightly ajar door, from which a faint, chilly light emanated. Inside, he could hear faint sounds of sobbing. The sobs were soft, as if someone was desperately holding back their emotions.

He was about to push the door open but decided against it. Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Walking to the balcony at the end of the hallway, he lit up a cigarette and began to smoke.

As he stared into the endless darkness, his eyes as dark as night, he took in the chilly wind ast the flame from his cigarette flickered,

The next day, a hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, casting its light through the window.

Eileen woke up early that day. She watered the plants on the balcony and watched as tricycles ridden by vendors passed by on the street below. There were shouts from a few people, and the aroma of food wafted in from somewhere.

The ordinary yet challenging life of the people here fascinated her. She envied them.

After cleaning the house and mopping the floor, she felt restless and bored. She often used these household chores to soothe her mind.

She believed in Eric, knowing that he was a man of his word. She was certain that he would come to pick her up three days later, even though she had no desire to leave.

She might not have been here for long, but she was already accustomed to this place.

She planned to continue renting the place. Even if she didn’t live here, having a place to stay would be beneficial in case she was kicked out in the future.

By noon, Elm still hadn’t shown up.

He usually arrived by half past eleven.

After waiting for the designated time, Eileen decided not to wait any longer.

Instead, she spontaneously decided to go to the ski resort at Mount Bright.

It was just a one-day trip. On the mountaintop, she could even witness the sunrise over the snowy mountains at five or six in the morning-something she had never seen before.

After taking a bus for over an hour, she arrived at the foot of the mountain. She bought a
