Liu Yong's heart churned with an uneasy mix of hope and dread. As he read the disturbing news, he couldn't help but wonder if it was nothing more than a hoax, a fabricated tale meant to deceive and stir chaos. His thoughts raced as he contemplated the dire consequences such an event could have on humanity.
It didn't take long for Liu Yong to return home after finishing his day at the office, where he found Li Changle already settled in the living room, engrossed in a television program.
Seeing the early return, Liu Yong remarked, "You're back unusually early today, not like your usual self."
Li Changle responded casually, "Well, there was a school exam today, and summer vacation is just around the corner."
Liu Yong sighed, "Time is flying by; summer vacation is upon us."
Li Changle smiled and suggested, "With the official summer vacation just around the corner, we should plan something fun. How about a little trip?"
