At noon, the sun was bright, and Karakura Town was as peaceful as ever.
"So what was the point of that sentence?"
Xia Li pointed at the line of text scrolling across the television screen.
Wu Biao, who was also sitting on the sofa and looked completely half-asleep, glanced up at the TV. "How would I know? Maybe the picture alone seemed too plain, so they added a line of text."
"It has absolutely nothing to do with the show!"
Xia Li curled her lip and turned to stare at Wu Biao with dead fish eyes. "By the way, is it really okay for you to loaf around at home like this every day? It feels like you've gotten lazier and lazier lately."
"Aren't you the same?"
"Hey, it's summer vacation for me, okay? You think everyone's like you, not even going to school and spending all day sprawled at home watching cartoons?"

Xia Li was happy too, wasn't she?
