「The scene changed.」
This recording was from an even earlier time.
Bai Han and Xiao Xi met in the library.
Bai Han: "Xiao Xi, what book are you reading?"
Xiao Xi: "The Emperor's New Clothes. I really liked this story when I was little."
Bai Han: "When I was just a little tyke, my favorite books were the Transformed Warrior series."
Xiao Xi: "I know. Your mom picked one of them out as your wedding gift."
Bai Han laughed. "Haha, yeah. That really was a strange wedding gift."
Xiao Xi asked curiously, "...Why did you stop reading those books later on?"
Bai Han: "Hm?"
Xiao Xi: "I've seen the set. They're in a corner of the storage room, covered in dust."
Bai Han tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Well... I guess... I just grew out of them."
"I mean, they're books for little kids."
Xiao Xi: "Is there anything wrong with reading fairy tales? They can be a comfort to the soul."
...
'Something's strange.'
Li Xu mused.
