"I feel like I'm dreaming of being back in Modu..." As he descended into the subway station, Gu Yu stood at the entrance and looked at the crowded stream of people, momentarily speechless.
It wasn't even eight in the morning yet, but the subway station was already incredibly crowded, with almost every platform packed with groups of office workers in shirts and uniforms.
The people changing trains also moved rapidly, constantly checking their phones, clearly rushing to catch the next subway on time.
"Yes, everyone seems to be having a tough time." Lin Xinyue nodded. Even though it was morning, she could still feel the exhaustion emanating from these people.
It was the listlessness that comes from long hours of work, coupled with inadequate rest at night.
It was the aura of the 996 culture.
In Modu, such people were even more common, visible everywhere on the streets.
