A Long Retreat

What did a century mean?

For most people, it was a time unit that usually only appeared in history books.

Few people could live that long.

And almost no one would write in their diaries, that on a certain summer one century ago, something happened to them…

If The Observers did not exist, the man named Lu Zhou, like most students who graduated from top universities, would graduate with an excellent grade, then find a decent job with a relatively generous salary, then get into an ordinary marriage and have children. He would live his life out steadily.

Even if Earth or the universe would be destroyed in hundreds of thousands or millions of years, what would this have to do with a butterfly that only lived for a week?

Live life in the moment without thinking about distant things. Perhaps this was the most logical choice.

Even Lu Zhou himself did not have the confidence that he would choose differently.
