「The next morning.」
The roadside breakfast stalls opened for business, steam billowing into the air. Early morning pedestrians hurried on their way.
Qin Yang casually bought a sweet tofu pudding and a fresh meat bun. With Xiaobai tucked away, he headed back to work at the library.
Life inside the library was the same as always.
Moving books, slacking off, and seeking insights.
A monotonous routine.
The dull work life, without that kid Xia He bantering by his side, had become even more tedious.
Even Xiaobai, after eating the Soul Condensing Pill yesterday, was in a sluggish state. It had been dozing soundly, curled up on Qin Yang's shoulder, ever since.
"Sigh."
At that thought, Qin Yang heaved a long sigh and slacked off until his lunch break.
He went to the staff cafeteria alone, ordered a boxed lunch, and then found an open spot outside the library to get some fresh air.
