Sun Maochai didn't stay long at Sun Jikai's place; after saying what needed to be said and finishing the bottle of mineral water, he left.
Sun Jikai had completely sobered up and was no longer depressed. With his sleeves rolled up, he could revert to his former self, and Sun Changping wasn't so drunk that he needed to be looked after. Qiu Fu stayed a few more minutes after Sun Maochai left, making sure that both Sun Jikai and Sun Changping were alright before leaving.
"Xiaokai, the weather is nice today. If possible, go out and take a walk," Qiu Fu advised before he left.
Sun Jikai nodded, went to the window, opened it, and drew back the curtains to let the sunlight in.
The harsh summer sun was especially dazzling, causing Sun Jikai to squint reflexively and shield his eyes with his hand.
But it was also strikingly brilliant.
The sunlight streaming into the room made many things that were not very noticeable before quite evident.
