When Li Jing woke up, it was already evening.
He came out of his room to see Ji Qing and Stinky Tofu, one a cat and one a dog, watching television in the living room.
If someone else saw this scenario, they would certainly find it inconceivable.
But in this villa, it was everyday life.
Seeing Li Jing emerge from his room, Stinky Tofu quickly got up, wagging its tail.
Ji Qing then spoke in human words.
"When are we eating dinner?"
"Hmm, I'll cook right away."
Li Jing responded, preparing some dog food for Stinky Tofu. He then looked at Ji Qing.
"Chen Yuran hasn't returned yet?"
"No."
Ji Qing, curled up on the couch, yawned languidly before sighing.
"There are inspections and patrols everywhere now, even more than when the Demon Miasma broke out. Judging by the current situation, it seems I must wait a while longer before I can return to my hotpot restaurant and resume my role as the owner."
"Indeed, we need to wait. This incident won't ease up anytime soon."
