Wu Liangchen had a dream.
In his dream, he was back on Blue Star, back in that familiar place.
But just as he was about to peel the black stockings off a secretary in a professional pencil skirt, black-framed glasses, and a high ponytail, he suddenly jolted awake.
His vision was filled with a vast expanse of ice and snow. Only then did Wu Liangchen gradually come to his senses.
"What time is it?" Wu Liangchen asked.
"Just past noon," Wu Mengchan said, handing him a handful of perfectly shelled pine nuts.
Wu Liangchen popped them into his mouth and chewed slowly, then realized that Yang Lian'Er and Aunt Fan were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are they?"
"Aunt Fan is standing guard outside. Sister Lian... probably went to relieve herself."
Wu Liangchen crawled out of the snow hut and saw that the sky was overcast. Although it was noon, the temperature wasn't warm at all.
