Back at the separate courtyard halfway up the mountain.

After finishing lunch, Tushan Jingci tried to read for a while but as she read on, Tushan Jingci found that Xiao Moʼs face kept drifting into her mind unbidden, and she could not take in a single word.

She set the book down.

Tushan Jingci wanted to go and find Xiao Mo but Yueshi stepped in front of her, saying, ”Young Miss, the Lady has made it clear. You may not go looking for Xiao Mo without good reason.”

”Elder Sister Yueshi, you need not tell Xiao Mo about it.”

”Young Miss, it cannot be done.”

”Elder Sister Yueshi... please just let me go.”

”I humbly ask the Young Miss not to put me in a difficult position.”

No matter what Tushan Jingci said, no matter how sweetly she pleaded, Yueshi would not be moved.

Knowing that Elder Sister Yueshi answered only to her motherʼs instructions and would never let her leave, Tushan Jingci could only turn back to her room in frustration.

She lay back on her bed, gazing up at the pale pink canopy above her, her pretty fox eyes blinking slowly.

One scene after another drifted through the young girlʼs mind.

She thought of many things in that moment.

She thought of how, in years past, whenever Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed in meditation, she would always sneak out of her room and tickle his cheek with a leaf.

And Xiao Mo would always slowly open his eyes, his tone full of quiet helplessness.

She thought of how, when Xiao Mo was asleep, she would creep into his room, sometimes drawing on his face, sometimes burrowing into his bedding and stuffing two fingers up his nose.

Every time she woke Xiao Mo up this way, she would give a bright smile, and Xiao Mo would never once be angry, only giving a quiet sigh each time.

She thought of how Xiao Mo, though his cultivation followed the Daoist arts and he was more or less half a Daoist, had taken to the study of Confucian scholarship surprisingly quickly.

And he seemed to know something about everything.

Only when he was asked something difficult to answer, he would fall silent.

He was always like that, it seemed.

As she lay there thinking, a creeping drowsiness gradually washed over the young girl, and she slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Toward evening, with the sound of birdsong drifting in from outside, the young girl woke from her sleep, fully rested.

Still half in a daze, she rubbed her eyes, climbed out of bed, walked out of her room into the courtyard, and called out drowsily, ”Xiao Mo, stop cultivating. Come and play with me.”

But when the young girlʼs vision cleared, she found the courtyard completely empty.

Only then did it come back to her, that Xiao Mo had already moved away.

Looking at the quiet, empty courtyard, the young girl sat down on the stone bench where Xiao Mo most often used to sit.

She did not know how long she sat there. Eventually she rose, walked to the side room, and pushed open the door.

This was Xiao Moʼs room.

Inside, only the original table, chair, and wooden bed remained. Everything else had been taken away.

The young girl crouched down and settled herself gently on the threshold.

She felt a hollowness inside her, much like the emptiness of the room before her, as though everything had been taken away.

If there was one thing that remained, it was only the faint trace of his scent that still lingered in the room.

”You have only been gone less than a single day.”

The young girl hugged her knees to her chest and looked into the empty room, her pale pink fox eyes shifting softly.

”And yet...”

”Why does it feel as though you have been gone for such a very, very long time?”

”Wretched Xiao Mo.”

The young girl drew her knees in tighter, buried her face into the crook of her arm, her clear voice carrying the faintest tremor.

”Wretched Xiao Mo.”

”Why...”

”Why is my mind filled with nothing but you?”
