All of Ji Bai's friends who grew up with him shared the same view, which was he was still single only because he was picky and selective.
Ji Bai declined to comment, but he was certain of one thing, that his other half should be unique like a rare treasure.

What he felt at the moment was subtle yet hard to describe.
He had been mentoring her personally for a few weeks now and generally was very satisfied with this apprentice of his. She was smart, hardworking, quiet, pleasing to the eyes, and he never needed to repeat himself a second time. Sometimes she would understand what he was asking for before he even completed his sentence. In addition to this, she occasionally voiced opinions that amazed him.
She was an unpolished jade that had fortunately fallen into his hands and it was now his duty to refine her.
