Seconds later, Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.
In the darkness, the starry and moonlight outside could seep through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.
A bit of this light fell on his face, and Chu Keqing noticed that the drunkenness originally clouding Chen Yan's eyes seemed to have faded a bit.
"Keqing, starting tomorrow, stop wasting time by staying around me."
Chen Yan's speech was still not very clear, but the meaning was unmistakable.
"Why?" Chu Keqing frowned, "I feel at ease staying with you..."
"You understand." Chen Yan struggled a bit, trying to sit up straighter, "Since it's indulgence, it's letting go, then always pretending is pointless. Breaking through the Refining Heart isn't as easy as you think, it's not something that can be done by simply pretending and experiencing.
You... you staying with me isn't good."
