In the Virtual Universe, Norris told him that Dacheng Star’s inhabitants had come looking for him, and Su Li left without agreeing to Norris’s request to go home.

• At dinner, Su Li refused Su Miao’s request to take her out, and his grandfather said the siblings should stay home because it was unsafe outside.
