章 361: Existential Crisis and the Artist

Afterwards, Yujia and Zixu chatted some more. The rest of their conversations were lighthearted, no longer focusing on serious topics like marriage. With the brightening of the conversation, Yujia found her mind being distracted from the stress as well, her mood improving steadily.

Considering how they finally had time together, it was a rare opportunity Yujia treasured well. She talked more with Zixu that day than any of the other days that had passed since she came back to the capital after the trip.

"Thanks for accompanying me today," she said with a smile.
