Why Can't I Just be Ordinary

4 Phoenix: Death and Rebirth

She didn't know how much time had passed.

When she regained a sense of her surroundings, the sky was already darkening. The sun was in the midst of setting, the perfect moment in which it's hovering right above the horizon.

Golden hour.

Jinghe laughed hollowly. Pulling herself up from off the ground, she grabbed onto the kitchen counter to steady her weak legs. Almost falling over, she made her way slowly over to the fridge. She could feel the hunger insistently gnawing at her stomach.

As she opened the refrigerator door, a sticky note came fluttering to the ground.

It read:

"I didn't want you to know right after I left, so I decided to put it in here so you'd only read it after at least 6-8 had elapsed.

Zhang Jinghe, I really had fun playing with you (although it did start to get boring by the end).

You hide your passwords a lot better than I thought you would; it took me so long to finally hack into it all.

You're probably asking why I did it right now, right?

Well, I guess it's just so satisfying.

It's so much fun.

Thanks for everything Jingjing
