The two girls sat hand in hand and chatted, from their separation to their reunion, from the Dong Manyue siblings to the Sang family in the Seventh District.

"The Sang family is rooted in District Seven, so why are you running around everywhere and not going back? Have you fallen out with your family?"

"It's not exactly a falling out. I was traveling around looking for my hometown. My family didn't want me to be with my hometown, so I never thought about going back."

"I don't think District Nine has even basic fortifications. If a zombie attack were to happen, there wouldn't even be any advance notice."

“There are very few ordinary people in District Nine. Most of them are sorcerers and aliens. People don’t care about the lives of others. Although there are unimaginable dangers every day, people like us live quite comfortably.”

Yan Shi was tempted, but thankfully her rationality pulled her back.

Sangzhi's magic array can withstand alien species, and her physical skills can defeat burly men. She has the confidence to back it up, so let's just forget about her.

"When are you guys planning to go back? Si Yue is throwing a party the day after tomorrow, let's go and freeload!"

"Are you going? I wasn't planning on going, but if you go, I'll go too."

"Go ahead, Si Yue loves parties. He throws one every few days. Putting everything else aside, the food is really good. There's seafood, fruit, fresh meat, and snacks—you name it. Plus, you can watch the excitement and hear the gossip. What more could you ask for in this world?"

Zhuang Zhao had always thought that when Yan Shi was with Bu Ke and Tong Ying, it was the same way she was with her friends. Now, seeing it clearly, the closeness was obvious, even though she spent the least amount of time with Sang Zhi.

While the two girls chatted, Zhuang Zhao and Zheng Guli listened quietly to their laughter and conversation. The entire flower shop was filled with joyful laughter and a peaceful happiness.
