The next day.
He happily slept in until it he woke up naturally. Since the outline of the documentary on air pollution was already given to the staff, Zhang Ye did not bother with the rest of the production or how they were going to shoot it. He had already applied for some time off and was preparing to sleep well. He did not wish to do anything at all in the coming few days.
His mother was making breakfast.
His father was watching the morning news.
His mother asked, "Up already?"
Zhang Ye returned, "What are we having?"
His mother replied, "Buns. I steamed them myself."
Zhang Ye said, "OK, I'm gonna go out for a run first and eat when I come back."
His mother remarked, "Heh, you're quite hardworking, aren't you?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's just some exercises to build up my stamina and recharge myself."
His father inquired, "Didn't you take the week off? You might as well take a vacation and enjoy yourself."
