「 Remember my love,
remember my heart,
Remember I'm waiting for you every day.
I'm waiting, waiting for you to come back,
Don't you forget me, don't leave me alone~
Don't you forget me, don't leave me alone~~ ♪」2

Li Banfeng shoved the door open and was about to leave when a wall of steam surged and blocked his way.0

「Oh my love, our trash really has nowhere to go! ♪」0

"Uh… right… I'll take it out later," he mumbled. When he moved to leave again, the steam flared hotter, wrapping tighter around him as the gramophone sang again.0

「Oh my love, our trash really has nowhere to go! ♪ 」0

Each note sounded colder and gloomier,...0
