Everyone chose their favorite drink; Pei Nansheng drank beer, and Xiao Hao drank cola.

Zuo Ling squeezed the pineapple juice. The waterfall was cunning; it ate whatever Zuo Ling ate.

The dog is easy to please; he ate a big bowl of meat bones and two chicken legs with gusto.

Pei Nansheng was busy flipping the meat skewers. As the eldest brother, he always ate after his younger siblings had almost finished eating.

Xiao Hao, biting into a meat skewer, pleaded, "Sister, I don't want to go out."

Zuo Ling glanced outside the space; the sky was dark and gloomy, without a trace of light.

The area where they were located was submerged by seawater, which was up to their calves. The waves surged forward like a bustling market, and water was everywhere they could see.

"We should be able to stay in the space for two days."

Xiao Hao jumped up with a "Oh!" and exclaimed, "It's great to be able to stay for two days! It's great!"

Holding a skewer of meat, he ran wildly around the yard.

The dog dropped a bone and, bewildered, followed its young owner around like a madman.

The waterfall twisted its body and rolled its eyes, "Two idiots!"

Zuo Ling: "..."

Pei Nansheng glanced at Zuo Ling, then looked at his younger brother who was oblivious to the hardships of ordinary people.

He couldn't see what was happening outside. His sister said he could stay in the space for two days, which meant that the water was rising.

I sighed, wondering how Guo Qi and He Xiao were doing.

And then there's the thought of the woman blocking his way, the villagers refusing to move, the man hurling insults at him...

His gaze turned cold, and that was all he wanted. With his younger siblings by his side, Pei Nansheng focused on grilling the meat skewers.

My sister likes it a little charred, and she prefers it to be half lean and half fatty. She also likes the tendons to be grilled a little longer.

My little brother likes grilled squid and grilled oysters, so I'll grill a few more for him. The honey-glazed chicken wings are almost ready...

After a satisfying meal, I slept soundly through the night.

Upon opening her eyes, Zuo Ling immediately looked outside the space; it was dawn!

The seawater reached above my thighs; the vast expanse of water was cold, lonely, and utterly still.

While having breakfast, Zuo Ling said to Pei Nansheng, "Brother, it's dawn."

Xiao Hao didn't realize it yet; it was already daylight, wasn't that normal?

The sky is brightly lit 24 hours a day, a sight not seen for a long time.

Pei Nansheng held the steamed bun in his hand for a long time without putting it down. "Is it normal now?"

For more than three years, I've been looking forward to the day when the sun, moon, and stars finally appear. I can hardly believe it's finally here.

Zuo Ling shook her head: "I don't know, we'll have to see tonight."

Xiao Hao then realized, "Sister, the sky is normal now? There's day and night?"

Zuo Ling chuckled and patted his head: "We'll have to wait until tonight to find out."

The wait is agonizing, even more agonizing than waiting for the water to recede.

As evening fell and darkness descended, the sky shifted and the distant stars became visible.

Gazing at the faint starlight, Zuo Ling's eyes reddened slightly. "Brother, God, it's back to normal."

Xiao Hao yelled, "Sister, I want to see! I want to see!"

"good."

A family of five emerged from the space aboard a shuttle.

A few starlight points, like brilliant fireworks, bloomed in the hearts of the whole family.

"The stars are so beautiful, aren't they, sister?"

"Yes, it looks good."

Zuo Ling's voice had a heavy nasal tone.

Pei Nansheng, who was usually so tough, had tears in his eyes. It was either polar night or polar day, day and night, it had finally arrived.
