"Isn't this already very relaxing? I have such a good environment, and so many books to choose from as I please," Ge Dongxu replied with a smile.
Wu Yili paused slightly upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but recall Ge Dongxu's childhood when he would wander alone in the mountains, carrying a basket to collect herbs. Compared to those hardships, reading in the library was indeed far more relaxed. And for him, studying hard was clearly the only way to escape poverty and not let his parents down.
Thinking of this, the look of tenderness in Wu Yili's eyes deepened.
"Was it very tough before?" Wu Yili asked with a heart full of pity.
"Before?" Ge Dongxu was slightly startled as he recalled his childhood and adolescent years spent training with his master, a wistful look passing through his eyes. It had indeed been very tough back then.
"Yes, it was tough, but also very happy."
