The youths who stayed up all night had mostly fallen asleep on their desks, with privacy ensured by partitions on each side.
When Li Chengze walked in, the internet cafe attendant couldn't help but scrutinize his outfit, processed his card, pointed in the direction, and continued dozing off.
He walked carefully and found his spot.
Whether it was because the internet cafe was warm, his limbs, having been cold all night, started to itch and ache.
The computer screen lit up.
Li Chengze, however, sat staring blankly at the pink USB drive in his palm.
After a while, he inserted it into the USB port at the back of the computer.
A reminder icon for a removable disk popped up on the screen, and with trembling hands, he opened the USB drive.
There was only one file in the USB drive, a video clip.
Li Chengze froze for a moment, then looked around for headphones and put them on.
He double-clicked, and the video opened.
