It was another crisp morning, and after being continuously nourished by the Nutrient Solution, Su Ran felt extremely energetic and refreshed. Despite his illness being the same as ever, he was content as long as there was no worsening of his condition.
As usual, he chatted joyfully about his video games with his mom before having breakfast. Then, seizing the opportunity before school hours, Su Ran went early to old Mr. Li's house next door.
Mr. Li, uh, could also be called the "Little Sweetheart."
Su Ran was suppressing his laughter as he recalled the image of Mr. Li as a reserved and stern man. Now he felt that Mr. Li was just a game geek with numerous online girlfriends. In his heart, Mr. Li was the "Little Sweetheart."
Arriving at Mr. Li's front door, Su Ran was still figuring out what to say when unexpectedly, the door opened early.
Turned out, Mr. Li was preparing to take his bird cage out for a stroll.
