He wasn't oblivious to Chinian's gaze.
The little puppy in his hands felt really nice to stroke... it was very comforting.
"Xiao Qi."
Zhongli Wuzhi spoke to Snow Ball in a murmur, yet his gaze stubbornly didn't shift to Chinian.
Chinian pursed her lips, waiting for Zhongli Wuzhi to continue.
"Thank you."
"..."
Chinian was slightly taken aback.
She continued to blink her eyes at Zhongli Wuzhi, seemingly puzzled by his sudden expression of gratitude.
Yet, seeing that Zhongli Wuzhi had no intention of speaking further after thanking her, she became a bit anxious and gently tapped him,
——What are you thanking me for?
She typed the question on her phone and showed it to him.
Zhongli Wuzhi stood up, and Snow Ball also turned himself around, wagging his tail as he circled Zhongli Wuzhi's legs,
"Just knowing you is already something that makes me happy."
——You... have lost a lot of weight.
"Have I?"
Zhongli Wuzhi touched his own face.
——Where have you been this past week?
