Everyone was immersed in joy, and Ye Ling began to spend every day at home, occasionally tending the garden and taking care of the flowers, feeling utterly content.
Nowadays, Ye Ling would carry a basket to the vegetable market daily, and even hide away in the park to play chess with a group of elderly men and practice Tai Chi.
For him, this was the most comfortable and most heart-nurturing life because, after all, one has to live.
Some hermit-like experts choose to seclude themselves amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, as there's a saying, "True hermits hide in plain sight." Only by experiencing all facets of life can one's heart be tempered and become more stable.
This month had been the most comfortable time Ye Ling had ever had, free from bindings, utterly at ease.
