「October 8th, early morning.」
The train was still rocking and rolling forward. Zhou Li, having already washed his face and rinsed his mouth, sat on the lower bunk. Meanwhile, Brother Nan was still sleeping soundly. With just a turn of his head, Zhou could see Brother Nan's fair, delicate side profile, a few strands of hair resting mischievously upon it.
Huai Xu sat on the middle bunk, burping contentedly, and glanced sideways at Zhou Li gnawing on a piece of bread.
"Is this what you're eating for breakfast?"
"Do you want me to get you a bowl of rice noodles instead?" Huai Xu offered.
"Hmph! Forget it!"
"Let me tell you about the rice noodles I just had. I added four bamboo fungi, and they were so delicious, tsk tsk… Are you drooling?"
"Listen to the train… doesn't it sound like it's going 'chomp, chomp, chomp'?" Zhou Li countered.
"..."
Zhou Li's Dao heart was steadfast.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. "You're up so early, Zhou Li~~ Where are we now~~"
