"Here we are, sir. Sir? Here we are."
Su Bai was woken up by the driver. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in a cab. The sudden light was stunning; Su Bai used one hand as a shield against the sunlight and stretched out the other hand to reach for his wallet in his pocket.
"Sorry. I fell asleep." Su Bai handed over the money.
"It’s okay. You seemed tired. Let me get your change." The driver smiled and took the money.
"Keep it."
"Wow, thank you."
Su Bai got off and stood in front of the gate of a housing estate. Everything seemed to be a dream, but Su Bai knew well that he had been through all that. Now he was suffering from a deep fatigue.
The house was cleaned regularly, so it was neat and clean. But it seemed deserted and lifeless because no one was living there; even Su Bai would only come back for a little while during long holidays.
Now, Su Bai was sitting on the couch, with his feet on the tea table and his eyes closed. He was trying to calm his mind.
