September 8th, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
As usual, Cheng Ye opened his eyes five minutes before the alarm went off.
By the time the alarm's ring cut through the silence, any lingering drowsiness had completely vanished.
He stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment before getting up and walking to the window to draw the curtains.
Instead of the expected bright and sunny day, there was a great overcast sky suitable for starting work.
Thick white clouds, like fluffy cotton candy, hung above Happiness City, slowly moving in the gentle breeze.
Cheng Ye picked up his Defense Communication device to check the weather forecast. The upcoming week was all clear or cloudy with no rain.
"That's a good omen; without rain, the construction in Dapo Town will go much smoother."
He reached out to push open the window, letting the fresh air tinged with a slight chill flood in.
