The most satisfying thing in life isn't waking up naturally from sleep, but waking up on a weekend morning, taking a leak, and then rolling back into the warm bed, your groggy mind reassuring you there's plenty of time left, and you can sleep as long as you want.
Similarly, the most excruciating thing isn't when someone discusses an awkward subject with you, but when the awkward subject, having been brought up, lingers and repeats in your mind, refusing to leave for a long time.
Just like a few days ago, when Su Shijun casually mentioned Jiang Yu before leaving.
Zheng Qing had reason to suspect that the lady from the Moon Council, the Upper House Member, was looking for an opportunity to annoy him, but he had no evidence and didn't dare to confront her about it.
What else could he do? Life had to go on, even if it meant holding his nose and getting through it.
