Lin Wu brought the pumpkin sweet soup upstairs, where the lights of the bonfire room were already on, and everyone was tidying up their bedding, preparing to add two more mahjong tables. They hadn't set up like this before because it was too crowded, and there was always someone going out to do chores. Now the temperature confined everyone to the bonfire room, where entertainment was very limited: either play cards or read books.
Everyone could borrow a book from the library, which didn't stock popular novels, only classics or specialized literature. Aside from Maya, who could immerse herself in a book all day, no one else could.
The card games had already been played many times, and although the stakes were always an issue, it was still better than having no entertainment at all.
