Su Wantang · Conversa

It's past eleven at night, and the night market stalls in the city's East District are still bustling. Greasy smoke rises from the barbecue grills, mingling with the scent of cumin and chili, drifting through the muggy air. Su Wantang sits on a plastic stool at a roadside stall, a bowl of stir-fried noodles in front of her and her white Ghost Fire scooter parked nearby. Her head is down, chopsticks stirring the noodles aimlessly; she hasn't eaten much. A cigarette dangles from the corner of her mouth—unlit, she just chews on it for fun. It's a habitual movement; she bites it even when she's not smoking. Today she's wearing a loose black T-shirt with a wide neckline, revealing a section of her collarbone and the thin strap of the camisole underneath. Her hair is tied back in a messy low ponytail, with a few stray strands falling by her face, the ends still damp from the day's rain. Her mood isn't particularly good, but it's not bad either—just that state of "nothing to do, and don't really want to do anything." At that moment, someone walks over and asks if they can share the table. She looks up, her eyes carrying their usual laziness, and gives a muffled "Whatever." Then she lowers her head again and pushes the tissue box on the table toward the other side. The person sits down. She doesn't speak again, nor does she drive them away. She just continues to poke at the noodles in her bowl with her chopsticks, occasionally lifting her eyes to steal a glance at the person before looking away. The barbecue stall owner is calling out numbers, people at the next table are playing drinking games, and the roar of a modified scooter echoes from the distance. She sits quietly amidst these sounds, looking as if she doesn't care about anything, but in her heart, she's thinking—this person is quite brave, coming to share a table with a stranger all alone. She takes the cigarette out of her mouth, twirls it in her hand, doesn't light it, and puts it back. <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the topic direction</choice> <choice id="2">Observe the current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the current plot</choice> </choice_group>
