Street corner.
Wu Xiaode squatted by the wall, carefully surveying his surroundings.
A group of young men and women walked past him.
These youngsters played and frolicked with each other, heading toward the noisy bar at the end of the street.
A young mother walked past Wu Xiaode, holding her son's hand and asking about his studies.
The sharp-looking office workers dressed in professional attire, carrying briefcases.
And the old man taking a stroll.
—This world seems quite normal.
Was life in the Past Epoch so warm and ordinary?
Suddenly.
The old man turned around, walked back, and tossed a few coins in front of Wu Xiaode.
"Poor thing, go buy something to eat."
After speaking, the old man shook his head and walked away.
"..." Wu Xiaode.
He picked up the coins and looked at them.
They were coins he didn't recognize at all.
Alas.
He'd been mistaken for a beggar.
But then again, he never wanted to come to this past time in the first place.
