A tiger-striped tabby cat lay beneath the pine leaves that welcomed guests, lazily swishing its tail next to the doormat; the cafe's sole waiter came by and asked a few times, "Need more water?" Seeing the young people engrossed in their conversation, they didn't bother them anymore and went back to the counter to nap in the lounge chair.

The earth and sky were enveloped in brilliant, intense sunlight, the flat and open road stretching towards the horizon on both sides, without a hint of gloom left behind.
The roadside trees on both sides swayed their branches and leaves in the warm wind, casting dancing shadows, covering his eyelids.
So, Xu Xiangyang's clear mind was added with a bit of afternoon lethargy, the feeling of being sleepy.
"Do you want to sleep?"
