Of course, all these things needed to be left for the future, not now.
Currently, Gu Chen didn't have the time or the energy.
Favorable timing, geographical, and human conditions hadn't yet aligned; the moment wasn't quite right.
For example, there hadn't yet been the emergence of a phenomenally popular star.
When the time was more or less right in the future, he could properly research the matter.
"What are you thinking about?" Ji Pianran knew Gu Chen all too well; seeing him lost in thought, she knew he must be pondering something.
So she asked with great curiosity beside him.
"Nothing much, just random thoughts."
The concept of a face mask, if brought up now, was still a bit premature.
So he planned to wait until he had time in the future to gradually bring it up with Ji Pianran.
Ji Pianran could tell that Gu Chen must be thinking about something but didn't intend to share it with her.
So she didn't press on with more questions.
