Chapter 277: The Gentleman and the Cat

"Everyone has their own ideas, and every organization has its own goals,"

"That is their freedom,"

"But as the saying goes at Alpha Academy... freedom means learning to let go. Trying to grasp everything at once, in the end, you only grasp a handful of air. That isn't freedom. That is emptiness."

Mr. Wu lay back on a spacious reclining chair, cradling a copy of "The Book of Changes" in his hands, speaking leisurely to the rhythm of the chair's gentle rocking.

Approaching evening, there was not a single customer in San You Bookstore, only a Yellow Flowered Cat squatting on the counter next to the gentleman, meticulously licking the cream from a small porcelain bowl.

The cold wind pattered against the glass windows while the interior remained as warm as spring, complemented by the orange glow of the lamps, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
