On July 4th, 10 a.m., in the living room of the Bai Ke family.
Sunlight, paired with the morning breeze, faintly disturbed the curtains and dragged out a mottled column of light on the floor.
The Black Cat half-closed its eyes, lazily nestling on the carpet beside the window, as if lying in a bathtub filled with just the right temperature of bathwater, soaking in the sunlight that was just perfect.
A few cartoon animal pillows were strewn messily on the light brown couch, and several magazines lay quietly beside the remote control on the TV cabinet.
The living room was so quiet one could almost hear the ticking of the clock, and occasionally, sounds of honking or birds singing squeezed through the gaps in the curtains.
At this time, seeing Bai Qiuwu preparing her backpack, Bai Zini hurried over to her, pacing in place as she said, "Sis, help me bring this."
Having said that, she handed a folding umbrella to Bai Qiuwu, gesturing for her to stuff it into her backpack.
