"Indeed, this place is no fit for human habitation," the man nodded in agreement, but his words were laced with profound meaning, almost too subtle for her to grasp.
"If you really buy this place, I'll move out as soon as possible," Nie Yunjun said.
Upon hearing this, the man didn't respond immediately, and a silence settled in the room.
Even with her head bowed, she could feel the intense gaze from above, yet she dared not look up and meet his eyes. All she could do was fixate on her own toes, glaring at his pair of black socks.
After a long while—
"Still so foolish."
A profound critique came from the man.
Nie Yunjun was startled; by the time she recovered, the man had already turned and walked over to Xiaozhi, squatting down with his tall frame before the child, "Xiaozhi."
Xiaozhi, seeing him, clearly was overjoyed, cheering "Chu Brother" and hugging him.
Chu Jinzhao patted his back, "You seem to be recovering well and haven't forgotten me."
