The night sky was extremely dazzling, and a slender white light shadow was projected through the window sill, extending all the way to the bed.
Bored, Xia Ming took out a cigarette and lit it, held it in his mouth and took a few puffs. The acrid smell choked him.
His throat was sore and he coughed for a long time before he had no choice but to snuff out the cigarette. Xia Ming didn’t smoke at first.

A sister Xia Yan.
When he was seven years old, his grandfather sent Xia Ming to the United States. Unexpectedly, it would take him ten years to leave.
