Over the last couple of days, mingling with Wu Yuan had harmonized his yin and yang, balancing his water and fire elements. When Wu Yuan left for Shanghai City, he was already feeling relaxed and at peace, both inwardly and outwardly.
Unexpectedly, just two days later, he started to feel that sense of internal heat again.
However, today's heat sensation was different from those "sequelae" he used to feel after waking up in the morning.
These "sequelae" weren't characterized by dryness but by straightforwardness and moderate warmth.
Li Shi recalled what he had eaten in the afternoon: four roasted lamb kidneys, seven raw oysters, plenty of grilled mutton and beef skewers, along with a considerable amount of grilled leeks...
A wry smile spread across his face.
"Ah, I was a bit gluttonous."
He set up his brushes, paper, and inkstone. Too lazy to grind his ink right then, he directly took a bottle of prepared ink from the bookshelf and poured a bit into the inkstone.
