In a large dining hall, a man with slat and pepper hair swallowed a pill and cringed.
"How old are you?" a lady with silver hair scolded as she ate her chocolate cake.
The man gave her a look and then looked at the cake in her hand.
The lady scoffed. "This is to keep my sugar level at a normal. You know I don't like to eat sweet things."
The man let out a rueful sigh. "As it always goes: the heavens gift people with plenty of things that they don't need and give them nothing of things that the do need and want. I want to eat sweet, yet I am the one who has to avoid it! Where is the fairness in this?"
The woman rolled her eyes, and spared the man a glance. "Little Fei called from Earth."
The man's hand curled into a fist. "And?"
The woman sighed. "Little Ru has not found the child yet."
The man's eyes were shadowed. "Do you think…that Cheng…do you think he has filled the child's head full of bad things about us?"
