Ukichi

Akane had no idea what Zhang Heng was up to tonight.

Before he left, all he said to her was, "Going to work. Don't leave any food for me," before he walked out of the dojo with his sword.

Akane thought it was just the regular affair since Zhang Heng had gone out for work a couple of times before, though not often, so this time should not be any different.

The fact was, she did not have the capacity to worry about such things right now. Ever since their trip to the temple, her feelings towards Zhang Heng had changed. She did not know what it was, or perhaps she had an inkling of what it was, yet unwilling to admit it.

Women's minds were as murky as the reflection of the full moon on the water.
