Liang Chen stood in front of the window for a long time, without moving and without any trace of fatigue.
The night outside the window grew deeper as it approached midnight.
…
Under the same night sky, in a building for exam review, Shen Liangnian was also not sleeping.
Shen Liangnian was sitting on the couch, a television was switched on in front of him, a movie was playing on it.
Shen Liangnian had muted the television, on the screen, there was a repeated segment where Jing Haohao was slowly walking closer from a far-off place.
In the room, only Shen Liangnian was present, his silence bordering on eerie, except for sporadic ticks from the wall-mounted European style clock.
