February 10, 2016. The third day of the Lunar New Year.
It was a bright, sunny day in Hongcheng.
A handsome young man sat in a coffee shop. His complexion was a bit pale, but not in a sickly way. He held a cup of hot cocoa, a book laid out before him, and had chosen a seat by the window where he could bask in the sun, seeming to thoroughly enjoy the lazy feeling.
The once-frail youth, while still not what one would call bursting with energy, now looked perfectly healthy.
The third day of the Lunar New Year was typically a time for visiting relatives. However, the Shao Family wasn't particularly large, so he had finished all his visits in a single day. Besides, in this day and age, with the internet, people didn't mind just greeting each other online and exchanging holiday wishes if the weather was bad. It was easier for everyone.
