Even though the human world has undergone tremendous changes, for things beyond humanity, this world remains the same.
The bright sunlight shone through the window onto Luo Le's eyelids, waking him up. He opened his eyes, feeling full of vitality after a night's rest, but there was a fatigue in his eyes, a weariness of the heart, unrelated to the body. He dressed and walked into the living room, seeing Li Yin sitting on the sofa with an ashen face, staring blankly at the ground.
"What's wrong?" Luo Le asked. Li Yi had always been a person full of desires; he liked meat and strongly flavored things, his every move filled with a sense of delight. Luo Le had never seen him in such a weakened state, not even during the time when the pandemic was rampant.
Li Yi glanced up at Luo Le, suddenly displaying a bit of panic, as if eager to cover something up.
"N-nothing," he added hastily, "just recalling the past..."
Luo Le nodded and said, "Want to get something to eat?"
"Yeah, okay."
