Chang Yanyan sat in the car, watching the tree shadows whiz past the window. Summer cicadas buzzed overhead in pairs. Soon, the little boy fell asleep sideways, his sweaty head resting on Chang Xuyu's shoulder, soft snores gradually sounding. Heat waves rolled around them, and the bus was very quiet, save for the rustling sound of an elderly person folding a newspaper to fan themselves. Chang Xuyu was also hot. She pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead, let out a light sigh, and comforted herself that a calm heart brings a cool body.
The place they agreed to eat was a bit far. On a normal workday, traffic was congested. To save time, Chang Xuyu first took the bus with Chang Yanyan, then transferred to the subway, finally reaching their destination. The little boy rubbed his eyes, looking like he hadn't slept enough. "Sis, I'm so sleepy."
