The slanting sun was gradually setting, painting the sky with shades of orange and red twilight. Unconsciously, dusk had fallen, and a gentle evening breeze brought a touch of coolness, rustling the leaves.
In Lin Chuan's small rented room, the tightly drawn curtains allowed the golden glow of sunset to peek through, casting a pale yellow light that draped over Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady, as if accompanying a primordial hum.
"Xinxin, we haven't eaten all day."
"Okay, then let's have dinner first."
"First?"
"We'll eat dinner... then continue."
"You little temptress!"
"..."
Night came quietly and then swiftly passed. The moon hid as the sun rose, and the sun sank as the moon shone bright, in an endless cycle.
In the blink of an eye, it had moved from June 8th to June 10th.
The morning light at dawn cast patterns on the curtains, the square patches of light hit Lin Chuan's eyes, signaling the arrival of another day.
Lin Chuan merely stirred.
