In the end, Di Tou wasn't invited to stay for dinner.
After a cup of tea, and a bit of idle chatter that didn't amount to anything, Di Tou quietly left. In the end, he also didn't ask about Fu Hao Xin or Ke YiQing this time. Although Di Tou wanted to know about them, at the same time, he suddenly felt like he didn't have enough time to be worrying about all these things. Those kids had good heads on their shoulders, and even if life threw them a curveball, they would manage to get out fine.
Time… ah, what a depressing thing time was.
Leaving the Li family home, Di Tou's mind felt much more clear headed. Perhaps it was the pleasant sensation of having met old friends and ending on an okay, although not beautiful note, perhaps it was the cold wind at night, but the dreariness that came from studying for so long cleared and Di Tou found himself much more determined than he had been before.
