He's Always Eager to Answer

After a few instances of misunderstandings and experiences of being mocked by Xiao Jihan, Yan Shu had become wiser.

She no longer dared to think that Xiao Jihan had any romantic interest in her. She attributed all doubts to their friendship and his unsettled state of mind, believing that she could console him in that aspect.

Surprisingly, once she started thinking this way, the world did seem more open.

Who said there couldn't be pure friendship between a man and a woman?

Yan Shu and Xiao Jihan had a purely platonic friendship, having shared a bed for ten years without any romantic involvement—just the purest form of friendship.

Xiao Jihan looked at her and asked softly, "Do you like it?"

Yan Shu nodded quickly, "Yes, I do."

She genuinely liked it. Although the mountain springwater from this peak, guided by the spirit spring, wasn't as good as the consistently warm spirit spring, for a cultivator, heating up the mountain springwater was an easy task.
