Ji Ruyan sat on the side, picked up the hot tea beside her, took a light sip, and the tea's sweetness lingered.
She glanced at Yan Gu; his physique wasn't too bad, and he had some martial arts skills, not strong, yet not weak either.
Ji Ruyan looked at this person, thinking for most of the day, only finding his form familiar, but couldn't recall who he was, so she had to give up.
The two men talked about state affairs, and Ji Ruyan stood up and headed towards the hot spring.
Standing by the hot spring, smelling that faintly pungent scent, she felt as if she was back at the thatched cottage where she first met Senior Brother Chu Lanqian.
Once upon a time, she was helpless and could only seek help from others.
Now, in the blink of an eye, she had gained so much.
She was married now and had so much, yet she still felt a sense of solitude.
Ji Ruyan stared blankly at the water's surface of the hot spring, silently losing herself in thought.
"Ruyan, what are you doing here alone?"
