When the first rays of morning light streamed through the foliage and illuminated the room, Shao Zifeng slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up and stretched languidly; years of outdoor living had accustomed him to sleeping rough, and the soft bed felt somewhat unfamiliar.
The lightweight quilt slipped off his body, exposing his well-defined upper torso to the morning light as he gazed around the unfamiliar room in bewilderment.
The relatively spacious room of around 30 square meters was simply decorated, with just two brightly colored abstract paintings and a sharply angled metal deer head as ornaments on the pristine white walls. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied an entire wall, a gentle breeze blew in, bringing with it sunlight that filtered through the swaying curtains, vaguely revealing the lush greenery outside.
Swish!
