The May Day holiday has brought Peak City, this coastal city, back to life.
Both workers and students are on vacation. Coastal attractions are packed, social media forums are flooded with photos of scenery and food, the commercial streets bustle with crowds, lively music fills the air, men stroll in and out of bathhouses or internet cafés arm-in-arm, and girls in cool summer outfits wander through malls.
Su Youzhu, however, had fallen sick.
Fortunately, the illness wasn't too serious. Her parents dragged her to the hospital for a check-up, and the verdict was just a common cold.
"A normal cold like this? Let Xiao Lin drag her out for a few laps, that'll do the trick. And drink more hot water."
Uncle Su, true to his military background, had a sharp and no-nonsense way of thinking.
"Step aside! She's so frail right now, and you're talking about running laps?"
Shi Jing glared at him. "Go brew some herbal medicine for Zhuzhu! Hey, Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu?"
