...
The first day came quickly.
Bai Qingzhu awoke and came out to see Xiao Yeli; he seemed to be awake earlier than usual.
"Good morning."
She tried hard to smile and greeted him.
"Morning."
Xiao Yeli also wore a smile; both tacitly avoided mentioning last night's events.
However, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
"Have you packed your things?"
"I didn't bring much when I came; everything was prepared by you. I feel there's no need to take anything."
"True enough."
Suddenly, Xiao Yeli didn't know what to say.
Bai Qingzhu was silent for a moment before speaking: "After I leave, what do you plan to do?"
"I haven't decided yet; I'll stay here for a while. Why, do you plan to visit me?"
"That's uncertain. If Lijin doesn't let me work when I return, I'll come to see you since I've grown fond of this place over the ten days here. Also, I want to see when it's built over there."
Xiao Yeli chuckled: "Do you think my brother will let you come?"
"Can't I sneak over?"
