"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."
"Tell me about your dream last night."
"Yesterday was quite interesting. After dreaming for so long, it was the first time I dreamed about someone I know in real life. She was a very beautiful girl..."
"Mhm."
The police officer Uncle nodded as he took notes:
"Keep going, I'm listening."

Yu Xi examined her perfectly bandaged right arm, shook her short, hamster-like ponytail at the back of her head, and looked at Lin Xian with a tilted head:


"You're quite good at dressing wounds, you did such a great job."


Lin Xian put the medical kit back into the trunk and turned around:


"I just paid more attention to detail, that's all."


He seemed to choke on his words several times.


He still asked the question that had just crossed his mind:


Lin Xian looked into Yu Xi's raised eyes:


"Can you tell me... about your parents?"


Yu Xi and Lin Xian looked into each other's eyes as she spoke softly:


"I don't know who my parents are, I have been an orphan since I was young, and no one has ever told me about them."
