Gu Wenyu booked a car near the port using his phone, and sat on a public wooden bench, playing Spider Solitaire on his phone while waiting.
After getting off the car and returning to the doorstep of his home, the night was already deep.
The cicada chirps grew faint, the streets and alleys dim, with only the overhead billboard flickering on and off. The supermarket owner closed the shutter at the entrance, turned his head to greet him, saying, "Why did you come back so late, kid?"
Gu Wenyu turned back and said, "Went for a night run, my idol is Blue Arc, so I like running."
The owner nodded, saying young people are indeed full of energy, then donned his helmet and rode away on his electric bike.
Gu Wenyu inserted the key into the lock to open the door, and after returning to his room, sprawled out on the bed.
He stared at the ceiling in a daze.
