It was 11 p.m.
The street outside had quieted down, with only a slight whistling of the wind, while the living room, bathed in the flickering light of the TV, was a peaceful haven.
The cat, the mouse, and the dog on screen had just sworn brotherhood in Peach Garden when a truck drove past, jostling them briefly...
The newly introduced robot vacuum was working diligently, slowly moving across the floor, while Tuanzi sat on top of it, her eyes reflecting the light from the TV. From time to time, she'd glance uneasily towards the bathroom.
Continuous sounds of water and music came from the bathroom, blending with the audio from the TV, further highlighting the tranquility of the night. It had a certain familial warmth.
Inside the bathroom, hot water cascaded from the showerhead above Zhou Li as he stood there, brushing his teeth.
Suddenly, his mobile phone chimed.
Zhou Li peeked over and saw that it was a message from Brother Nan.
