"You've grown even stronger. At this rate, it won't be long before you're able to accompany me to that place," Lin Mei said, looking towards the sky.

Yan Xu smiled at the affectionate gesture, feeling a warmth spread throughout his body. Although he was sometimes very stern to Lin Mei, in reality, he had already gotten quite fond of her.
