Fame and Mystery

He chuckled, feeling a bit excited. 

Despite being in his late twenties, he had the aura of an old man, finding his own joy in creating. However, Yu Zhen leaned in to speak into Ming Yue's ear. 

"He says that but he ends up taking twice as long. He's the type to get lost in his own work", she whispered. 

"Oi, I heard that!"

Putting away Ming Yue's equipment, ZI Jing looked at them with a scowl.

"What? I can't have my own interests or something?" he retorted. 

She glanced at him and chuckled, finding his sudden snap amusing.

"No, no, carry on." 

Ming Yue watched before taking another look at what Zi Jing handed her. She then lowered her head.

"Thank you for helping me."

Zi Jing then stood up and walked towards her as she straightened back up. Along with Yu Zhen, both of them cupped their fists to her. 

"It shouldn't be you thanking us, it should be us thanking you."
