36 Oblivion

Li Manor, Hechen

The journey to Hechen took a few days. While Li Chenyang and Li Wenmin were nonchalant over the idea of going back to their previous home, Xueyue was unbelievably nervous. Everyone had arrived safely within the manor in Hechen.

For once, Xueyue began to pace in her room. She rubbed her chin, unaware of her actions paralleling Chenyang in the past. Now, it was her turn to overthink.
