"Little Brother, can I exchange seats with you…?"
When Yan Liqiang opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on a ship. A woman who held a swaddled infant in her arms turned around in her seat in front and looked at Yan Liqiang with a pleading gaze. It seemed like this woman was the one who had given him two pats on his shoulder just now, rousing Yan Liqiang from his dreams.
The passenger ship was traveling along the river, shrouded by the mist because it was raining. Raindrops were pounding against the canopy of the ship, and the pitter and patter of the rain sounded like beans being stir-fried. The woman was sitting in front of Yan Liqiang, next to the window. However, the window's bolt was already damaged so the window could only be half-shut. Since it was pouring outside, the wind and drizzle on the river's surface got tangled up with the wave of cold air that flew in through the small crack of the window, hitting the face of the swaddled infant.
