Ever since he'd gotten his marriage certificate back, Chen Hansong had spent half his time at the bank daydreaming.

There was a time when Monday and Friday were all the same to him.

But now, just like a student, he'd started to hate Mondays, resent Tuesdays, dread Wednesdays and loathe Thursdays.
