Xiao Xingchen stands outside the door, listening to the shower run for a moment.
He knows he should do something. He isn't a man who simply allows himself to do nothing, but now, he can't even guess at the way forward. It is far easier to give something up for someone and leave it at that, than it is to try to fix something like this.
Surely Song Lan doesn't want him around. Always he has been a proud man, and being faced with anyone right now would only worsen things. There's surely nothing that Xiao Xingchen can do to make this any better with him right now, so whatever he can do to help, he won't find it here.
From their closet, he takes out a towel and places it on a console table by the bathroom door. Then he steps back outside.
