Xiao Daidzhao

Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng and Nanako Mukaiji shook hands. After that, Chen Huadong explained the reason for seeking Zhang Heng's help.

When the two of them were shopping, Nanako Mukaiji suddenly asked to stop at the bookstore, saying that she wanted to find a few Chinese books to practice reading. However, she could not remember the name of the book. All she could remember was its contents. Unfortunately, Chen Huadong's Japanese was half-baked, and he could hardly figure out which book Nanako Mukaiji wanted to buy even after she described the book explicitly with hand gestures. That was why he called for Zhang Heng's help since he could understand and speak Japanese well.

"Help a brother out. I will buy you a meal later."
