When she returned home, a three-bedroom apartment she shared with two other people, she removed her mask and threw it into a designated mask bin by the door. Then, she picked up the alcohol spray bottle beside her and sprayed it twice on her hands before spraying herself and entering the room.
Her two roommates were already inside, their doors firmly shut.
Nowadays, they didn't talk much after returning home, and if they did communicate, it was through their closed doors, while wearing masks.
She walked into the bathroom, opened the foldable bathtub she had bought, and started filling it with water. While the water ran, she browsed for takeout on her phone.
In the past, she would have cooked meals with her roommates, but not anymore.
Neither she nor they did.
Before returning to her room, she sprayed some alcohol in the living room.
After completing all these steps, she finally felt at ease and returned to her room to rest.
However, for some reason, she suddenly felt a slight feverishness in her head and a general sense of discomfort. She decided to lie down and rest.
About ten minutes later, she went to the bathroom to turn off the water and began to enjoy a relaxing bath.
"Cough, cough."
She suddenly felt a tickle in her throat, which was quite uncomfortable.
After a couple of coughs, she paid it no mind. Feeling a little better, she reclined in the bathtub, savoring the day's relaxation.
But.
After finishing her bath and preparing to watch a show on her laptop in her room, she noticed that her legs felt weak and her nose was a bit stuffy.
What was going on?
Her face instantly turned pale. Despite her meticulous protective measures, she had... been infected?!
She hadn't caught a cold earlier!
Why did she feel so unwell?
"Cough... cough..."
That man!
The image of the strange man she had encountered on the street, who had exhaled at her before walking away, suddenly flashed in her mind.
It was that man! He wasn't wearing a mask!
He did it on purpose!
Her emotions now alternated between worry and intense hatred! Why would that person do such a thing! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Then, she hurriedly got out of bed, opened her room door, and shouted, "I'm sick! Stay away from me! You need to come out with masks and disinfect later!"
Afterward, she shut herself back in her room.
She knew that if she moved around too much, her roommates would also get infected.
Her voice elicited a response from her roommates: "Did you test yourself?"
"Not yet... it's highly likely! Remember to disinfect the toilet later! I promise I won't come out!" she continued to shout. "Also... if you're out on the street or on the subway when you come back, be careful! When I came back just now, someone breathed on me without a mask!"
Hearing this, her two roommates reacted with even greater intensity: "Who would be so inconsiderate?! Call the police! You must call the police!"
Yes, she had already called the police without her roommates telling her to.
She needed to report it while she could still speak clearly. If her throat started to hurt, her ability to speak would be limited.
Quickly, she explained her situation to the person on the other end of the line.
No matter what, they had to find that person as soon as possible!
"Please hurry! You can't let that scoundrel be out and about! Otherwise, how many people will get sick!"
Her voice was heart-wrenching. Although she had managed to calm herself down, when she spoke about this, she couldn't control her emotions.
