"Alright, dear audience, that's the end of our 'Golden Melodies' show for today. Thank you for tuning in tonight, and we'll meet again tomorrow on the 92.9 Nantong Music and Traffic Broadcast. Don't miss it."
After taking off her headphones, Mrs. Liu habitually pinched her wrist and then stood up. At this moment, all the operators and assistants outside maintained a motionless pose, as if time had pressed its pause button right then and there.
The door to the studio was pushed open from the outside, "There's a new ride request......." The middle-aged man turned off the ride-hailing app on his phone and leaned against the door frame, watching the woman come out.
"It's quite warm today, no need for a coat," the man said.
Mrs. Liu smiled but disregarded the man's empty concern, draping her coat over her shoulders as usual.
A tranquil life is an oppression, but the longer the oppression, the more violent the storm will be when it arrives.
