Quiet, trivial, plain and even dark. Start living your own life by watching the lives of others. "Yeah, it's true. It's so easy. If I want to, I can wave from that window. The melody of the serenade gradually speeds up."
I really like Qihui's works. They are so real and natural.
Simple and pure, close to life, I like this kind of light talk😹
