322 News of a Vacation for the Artist

While Fu Yushang was having his emotional breakdown, Yujia was still chatting with Zixu, happily oblivious.

Zixu told her that he was only able to escape the claws of work by using the disciple selection ceremony as an excuse. Since he figured that he wouldn't be able to see her often, that was another reason for his gift today. The two chatted for half an hour more. As a result of his limited time, that was all they could do before it was time for him to go away.

After Zixu left, life went on as usual.

Yujia spent a few more minutes touching up on her finished painting. Those minutes turned into hours of getting advice and critiques of her work. Those hours turned into days of conducting various painting and sketch studies. Those days turned into weeks of spending time at Lingxin, catching time with Zixu only occasionally.
