"Ah, ah ah ah... hahaha..."
Thalia sprinted down the street, arms raised high to feel the breeze brushing over her head. The hem of her long coat fluttered wildly.
Then, in a sudden twirl, her radiant, dazzling smile bloomed like a night-springing flower under the hazy glow of the evening light.
"I just signed an autograph for someone."
Even from a distance, the happiness sparkling in Thalia's eyes was unmistakable. It was so contagious that the corners of Li Wei's mouth lifted as he raised his voice.
"So, how was the pizza?"
"What?"
"I said, how was the pizza?"
"Good, so good—it was absolutely delicious! This is the most amazing pizza of my life."
Their voices echoed across the distance, shouting back and forth like two fools. Their exuberance spread through the night, creating ripples that enveloped the air.
Only now did they realize it was getting late. Without doing anything particularly noteworthy, time had quietly slipped through their fingers.
