Liu Jie felt her staring, so, he looked sideward. Meilin gives a very distinct expression on whatever she was feeling. He thinks that it was really impossible for her to hide every little emotion she have. Her wrinkled face slowly fades and begins to have another questionable look.
"You said we need some kind of judge…"
Liu Jie instantly sighed as he also remembers the issue about the judge.
In his world, judge aren't entirely needed, since, there are only a little percentage of failed pairing. Most pairing fails because of power compatibility or their pairing is an issue for the entire system, like not having a born child in three years span of pairing. There are times that most pairing happens because of death of human pair.
Servants of deity are more likely to be paired by humans because of desire but also to hide their true nature. Before a human pair dies, they must separate because of their emotional connection. Once their partner dies only devastation and insanity will be left on the servant.
"I will find a judge here in your realm. There might be some judge in mission here," he said, "As for now; I can't go back to my natural form because of insufficient power."
"Maybe you're hungry? You didn't eat the meal I served earlier!" Meilin said and pouted, "I rarely cook for anyone."
Liu Jie felt bad as he sees Meilin pouting because of his rejection early in the morning.
He patted her head that made Meilin shock, "I apologize," she looked at him and he can feel the sincerity in his words.
This is the first time in her life that someone patted her head. Her parents nor relatives did this because there were none to begin with. Even her long ago ex never did this, even though she loved him dearly.
There was a warm fuzzy feeling inside her and she felt ticklish and teary.
Meilin never liked kindness because it felt pity for her. She shrugged his hands off her head and stood up. Liu Jie felt confused on what she did but never questioned it.
"Ahem! I have to go now," she bid, "I don't know what you will do, but, I'll let you be. I still have my class."
"Can I wait you here?"
She wants to curse because she felt a sudden thumping in her heart but immediately shrugged it off. She is only curious not falling for it.
"Up to you."

With all the things happening to Meilin, it was really a miracle she didn't faint from fatigue and hunger until her last period. After talking to Liu Jie about the preparations of their so-called "divorce", she immediately head back on her classes. However, even though she wants to be focus on her surroundings, she can't help but let her curious mind wanders.
How Liu Jie did get imprisoned in that book? What happened and why did he lost his memory? How come he was imprisoned for thousands of years and she was the only person from this many years to talk to him?
"For now, let's go find him," she whispered and looked at her wrist. It was really convenient having the chain, since, she doesn't need to use her mobile data.
And just after a few turns he saw the other end of the chain, which is sleeping on the bench. Because his shades were now lying on the neckline of his shirt, the people around him had already feasted their eyes on a beautiful creature.
Meilin felt irritated on the way other people looked at him. She immediately walked towards him and looked at his expressions. He may look peaceful but when you look much closer, there are small beads of sweat in his face.
This made Meilin frantic and touched Liu Jie, and just as she thought, he had a fever!
Is sickness even part of their vocabulary?! I thought they were invincible!
"Hey, Liu Jie!" she tried waking him up but his consciousness seems have drifted too deep.
Because of her small figure compared to Liu Jie, it was really impossible to drag him in the entrance. She asked one of the students walking near them to hail a cab and let it enter inside.
"Why not put him in the infirmary first?" the guy she called suggested, "Or is he not a student?"
"Uhh…" she gulped. In her campus they are not allowed to let other people enter aside from the students. Once this rule was broken, there will be a punishment.
"So he is not," he said as a matter of fact when he saw the written emotions in her face, "For now, we will put him in the infirmary as a visitor."
"Thanks," she said but feels confused, "But how? It's hard to let a visitor in."
The guy smiled but only assists Liu Jie to stand up.
