Jian Jia.
Zhou Li immediately thought of another person.
Tao Yao.
Both names derive from the allusions in Classic Poetry. The reeds are green and lush; the white dew turns into frost. In escape, she blooms radiantly. With a little understanding, one can feel some connection between the two.
Jian Jia, Tao Yao.
Zhou Li closed his eyes, beginning to digest the news.
Zhou Li had attachments, many indeed. Whether it was his close friends around him, everyone in Lizi Class, his master Zhuge Qing, the Old Scholar, or people like Qianhu and Hou Jue, all were his concerns.
But for him, Tao Yao was his conviction.
Zhou Li considered himself a reborn person from another world, yet the memories of Earth were not inherently his. Instead, Zhou Li gradually awakened as he aged, recalling various things from Earth. Thus, Tao Yao, who raised him from childhood, became the only kin in Zhou Li's heart.
Blood relatives are not as close as chosen family, this was Zhou Li's belief.
