The night was deep.
Zhao Shu had not yet rested.
He lay on his back in bed, staring at the dark ceiling, recalling the events of the day, his hasty plans, his posture while sprinting through the woods, and later, mustering the courage to return to the scene, pretending nothing had happened while discussing with others, causing a layer of fine sweat to appear on his palms.
Reflecting on his previous life in the tribe and everything he had encountered since being brought to this island, his mind was a jumble of thoughts.
"Zhao Shu" was the new name he had given himself.
"Zhao" comes from the Hundred Family Surnames, being the first surname on the list.
Zhao Shu heard Sunday mention that in the Leader's homeland, everyone uses surnames from the Hundred Family Surnames.
As a result, whether newcomers or veteran members, they all fashionably gave themselves "Chinese names," as if by doing so, they could become like the Leader.
And "Shu" is a character Zhao Shu thought of himself.
