Gu Shiting struggled for a long time; finally, he steeled himself and decided to go out for a walk tomorrow.
The weekend sky was clear, the azure firmament resembling a pristine jade, without a single cloud.
The sunshine was warm, enveloping him in a golden halo.
Gu Shiting wore sweatpants and sneakers, along with a rather thin long-sleeved T-shirt. He carried a branded baseball jacket in his hand.
He called Sheng Tang, and Sheng Tang agreed.
"Going out?" his father asked him.
Gu Shiting nodded, "I've arranged with Tangtang."
After he left, his father stood on the steps at their home's front door, looking for quite a long time.
Then, Mr. Gu said to the newly awakened Mrs. Gu, "It's been ten years. Ting has only ever gone to school when he went out. He's locked himself at home every day, refusing to see anyone or socialize. And today, he's going to the park to play."
Mrs. Gu gently held her husband's hand, "I know, dawn has broken, everything is about to get better."
