"CREAK~"
"Are you heading back to Caiyun in a few days?" Huai Xu's head peeked out from the upper bunk, spying on Zhou Li.
"I'm almost asleep," Zhou Li said with his eyes closed.
"You're not asleep," Old monster stated confidently.
"...I see." Zhou Li opened his eyes. "Wait until the day after tomorrow. I'll stay at Brother Nan's home for two days, then I'll move the tree to the Yin Yang Temple to plant it, and then I'll leave."
"So your next visit won't be until the New Year?"
"Yeah, winter break."
"Are you sad to leave?"
"What?"
"That mountain, you seem to really like it there," Huai Xu continued to probe, "Don't you feel reluctant to leave?"
"Do I?"
"You do. You kept looking back every three steps when you left," Huai Xu had a 'you can't fool me' look, "and although you complained about being tired, hot, and sunburned from working in the small village every day, you secretly enjoyed it."
"Emmm..." Huai Xu pondered and then concluded, "I suspect you are a masochist."
