It was already midnight by the time Chu Li reached the Public House.
He decided to first return to the East Garden. The boat reached shore and he hit the ancient jade xylophone. The sound immediately reverberated throughout the island.
After a moment, Li Yue, in his pajamas, rushed out with messy hair and drool at the corner of his mouth. His eyes had not even opened entirely when he saw Chu Li. Li Yue impolitely stared at Chu Li as he shook his head.
"And here I was wondering who it was!"
Chu Li smiled at him cheekily. "Brother Li, it's been such a long time!"
"Ha… brother, you're finally back!" Li Yue sighed.
Chu Li arched his eyebrow at the statement. What was he talking about?
Li Yue talked while they made their way back, "It would've been really bad if you took any longer!"
