After getting the call, Ji Jue immediately stopped his Dissociation Technique practice for the day. He washed his face, asked Ye Chun for leave, and headed out.

Seeing Ye Chun personally walk him to the door, watching his departing figure while tearfully wiping away little pearls, it had to mean their bond was growing deeper by the day, and she simply couldn’t bear to see him go, right?

As Ji Jue watched Ye Chun’s wildly gesturing figure in the rearview mirror, he couldn’t help but make a silent resolution. Once he finished what he needed to do, he had to hurry back. There wasn’t much hesitation, nor much deliberation.

Favors worked like this. You help me, I help you. From Ms. Wen to Mr. Zhang to An Ran, no one had ever really shortchanged themselves. Even Tong Hua… well, she occasionally helped him offload some “goods,” and she was a sweet talker, too.
