Breakfast ended.
Bai Shi and two others went to the beach to play.
Having played for half the day yesterday, it still had not diminished the interest of these inland kids.
Chen Yun, claiming he felt unwell, did not go out with them. Instead, he stayed in his hotel room.
Through the hotel room's window,
he could see from afar, numerous tourists frolicking on this man-made golden sand beach.
Some were building sandcastles of various shapes in the soft sand, others splashed their sweat in front of the beach volleyball net, savoring the joy that sport brings.
Some guests quietly lay under parasols on lounge chairs, with a book in hand, letting the tide rise and fall, reveling in the tranquility and leisure.
As for Chen Yun,
he sat quietly in the room.
The joys and sorrows of people are not interconnected; feeling those people's happy emotions from afar, he actually had no desire to join them.
