Chapitre 84: Chapter 78

Time was a fickle thing. Some times it would swiftly pass without a care, while other times it would drag out until you felt insane. Though the days still passed, Ai found himself often thinking about how many minutes and seconds had passed since Wang left. He couldn't really figure out why, but his mind wouldn't stop wondering how long he had to wait. Would the other be gone for another week? A month? The only freedom he had was during the cultivation teachings his Master would give him.

Because of this, Ai found himself hiding away within the study. He read as many books as possible. Trying to distract himself while avoiding moments were he had nothing else to preoccupy his mind. This was both a blessing and a curse. Sure he was able to learn a great deal of things by doing so, but he also found that late at night, his mind would be to active for him to sleep. Often lying in bed while his thoughts drifted off. When you avoided something, it always found a way in.
