Chapter 44: The Girl's Confusion

The evening on Fox Street was already tranquil and peaceful, with the sunset's afterglow spilling from the horizon, casting a beautiful red hue on everything in the street. Wisps of cooking smoke rose from each building, stretching straight towards the sky. The white mists carried the scent of food, making the whole street feel alive with the breath of life. From afar, the cheerful noise of children playing reached the ears, marking the time when schools let out for the day. Freed from a day of study, the children ran and roughhoused in the streets, unleashing their youthful energy. On the street, passersby heading home were a common sight. For the adults who had worked hard all day, there was nothing happier than a leisurely stroll on the way home, looking forward to the smiling faces of loved ones as they opened their front doors.
