"That's it for today, I won't keep you from your work. I'll head home now."

Gu Ling had been prepared to accompany him for the whole day, yet Zhou Xuan hadn't browsed for long at all.
"I've already seen enough. Tonight, I'll introduce a singer to you."

Gu Ling flipped through Zhou Xuan's reading records—"Meeting Summary of City God Jing Country, Year 24," "Mingjiang Prefecture's Geography Chronicles," "Research on Mingjiang Play," "Beast Medicine Recipes," "Si Shui Pill Recipe"...
As part of her Divine Office duties, Gu Ling saw many "borrowing records" every year. From a single record, she could roughly infer the intentions of the borrower.
