The August sun at noon is so glaring it makes people dizzy. Jiang Chu leans on the railing at the exit, impatiently twirling his phone, deciding to wait just five more minutes.
Five minutes later, he turns around, and a pair of dusty flip-flops stops in front of him. Following the flip-flops upward, he sees red sweatpants with white stripes on both sides, a counterfeit T-shirt that prints 'Adidas' as 'Ada,' a workman's bag slung over one shoulder like a rope, and a pair of cold, sharp black eyes, with a piece of straw tangled in the messy hair.
"Qin Zui?" Jiang Chu can't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking this guy looks like a stray dog. Qin Zui's mouth twitches slightly in caution, staring at Jiang Chu, and he flatly replies, "Yeah."
"I'm your... brother." Jiang Chu looks at him for a moment, then nods, speechless. "Let's go. My dad and your mom are waiting for you at the restaurant."
As he turns away, he notices a circle of dried sweat stains on the back of Qin Zui's black T-shirt.
