Ji Yun, having just finished a meeting at the company, was carrying two printed cartoon character models and preparing to head back.
On a whim, with his skillful operation, he was able to create a simple model; the only troublesome part was the textures for the character.
The model is made without color, although it can be textured by itself, but it is relatively slow.
He took the photos to the art department, and it was quickly taken care of by two nobody: Yue Xi and himself.
On the way back, a message notification popped up on my phone.
Your favorite work has been relisted...
They're out so quickly? He wanted to spend a few more days with Yuexi.
"Open the door, I'm back." Ji Yun knocked on the door.
After opening the door, Yuexi ran back to the sofa in her slippers, her movements incredibly fast, and continued watching the TV series.
While watching, I held a potato chip in my hand, and there was a can of nuts next to me. I would eat a few bites and then take a sip of soda.
Looking at Yuexi, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa like a deadbeat couch potato, he was stunned. It had only been two days, how could she have changed like this?
When Yuexi saw Ji Yun staring blankly at her, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"No, you can continue watching your TV series."
"Don't bother me unless it's important, there are only a few episodes left until the finale."
"......"
Ji Yun poured herself a glass of water, feeling sullen. Could this person change so quickly?
After thinking for a moment, he said earnestly, "A person should not let trivial matters distract him from his studies. Time is precious and should not be wasted on meaningless things."
He took a sip of water, as if talking to himself: "The day has passed, and life is also diminishing, like a fish in shallow water, what joy is there! We should strive diligently as if putting out a fire on our heads, always mindful of impermanence, and never be negligent!"
Yuexi found the chattering person annoying, so she paused the TV, picked up her phone, and typed, "Is watching TV dramas a waste of time?"
The answer I received was, "Eating, drinking, and having fun doesn't equate to wasting time, and enduring hardship doesn't equate to having a meaningful life. When you're feeling anxious and drained, remember that life is just a collection of experiences, and your experiences are the greatest meaning. Enjoy life and live in the present."
She held up her phone and showed it to Ji Yun.
"Well, the encyclopedia says that what I'm doing isn't wasting my time; it's part of my cultivation."
Ji Yun was speechless as he read the explanation. Good heavens, was he being lectured? This was outrageous!
"What the encyclopedia says isn't necessarily correct..." As he spoke, he noticed Yuexi's expression was off and immediately changed his tune.
“I think what you said makes a lot of sense. In fact, this is also part of spiritual practice.”
This is outrageous! To actually threaten Master with his eyes! This rebellious disciple... well, I can't beat him for now.
Sudden.
Ji Yun's heart stirred, and he said, "In the end, Ling'er sacrificed herself to save the world, perishing together with the Water Demon Beast. Ling'er and Xiaoyao could not be together, and in the end, Xiaoyao was heartbroken."
Yuexi stared wide-eyed at the spoiler with fury, and shouted, "How could you say that?"
"Huh? Did I just say something?"
"If this is the ending, I won't watch it."
After Yuexi finished speaking, she immediately closed the playback page, then sat cross-legged, hugged herself with both hands, and glared angrily at Ji Yun.
That's how people are; when they know the ending won't be good, they'll subconsciously not want to see it. That's empathy.
When a person has a strong capacity for empathy, they become very emotional. The sadder the situation, the more distressed they feel, as if they are experiencing it themselves.
Ji Yun did it on purpose. If he had shown it to her, she would probably have been heartbroken for a long time. He still remembered how disappointed he felt after watching it, and he even cried under the covers because of the ending.
It took me a very long time to recover. Unlike storytelling, the visual impact of the images I saw was much stronger.
Ji Yun took out two cartoon character models: "Ta-da! Look what this is."
When Yuexi saw the model that looked somewhat like herself, she quickly took it.
"Is this me?"
"Yes, I printed out two models when I went to the company, one of me and one of you."
Seeing that Yuexi's attention had been diverted, Ji Yun asked, "So, isn't yours pretty?"
Yuexi said hesitantly, "It's alright, but yours is really ugly."
Ji Yun: "......"
"Is this a gift for me?" Yuexi's eyebrows relaxed, and she was somewhat delighted.
"This is for you; you can wear it as an accessory."
Yuexi looked at this with both hands, then at the other, and after thinking for a moment, she handed her cartoon model to Ji Yun.
"I'll keep the ugly one, and you can have the pretty one."
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely keep it safe. I can't lose such a beautiful fairy."
"You're so glib. I'll let it slide about what you said earlier since you brought me the gift."
Yuexi held the little Jiyun, looked around at her waist, and finding nowhere to hang it, she put it directly into her storage bag.
Ji Yun's method is more convenient; it can be directly hung on the phone case as a phone charm.
Yuexi's eyes lit up: "I want to hang it like that too!"
"I haven't bought you a phone case yet. I'll buy one for you online and add two pretty tassels to make it look even better."
Yuexi happily ate the nuts, showing no ladylike demeanor whatsoever. She poured them directly into her palm and ate them in one bite.
After finishing, have a sip of something a bit "spicy" – a refreshing drink.
Ji Yun's lips twitched. This can't go on. Luckily, we'll be able to enter that world soon. Oh, I almost forgot.
"Yuexi, that scoundrel author's book has been released. We can go back tonight."
"Oh? So fast?"
"......"
Ji Yun paused for a moment; she seemed unhappy.
"Are you unhappy?"
"I'm so happy! I... I can't wait to go back." Yuexi feigned excitement.
"But I'm not happy. I haven't had enough time to play with you before you went back."
"Weren't you going back with me?" Yuexi asked nervously.
"Yes, but this is my world, I belong here. If I go to you... now that you know my background, you probably won't even talk to me anymore."
After saying that, he glanced at Yuexi and, seeing that she was thinking about something, did not disturb her.
A moment later.
Yuexi suddenly spoke up: "Actually... if I go back to my world, you can still be my master. After all, you helped me with the Calamity Sword and those other things, and my cultivation improved quickly."
Ji Yun feigned grievance and said weakly, "Then you can't bully me just because you have higher cultivation. We need to make a deal!"
"I won't bully you. Do you think I'm like you, only good at bullying me?"
"What I was doing..." Ji Yun suddenly stopped, thinking, "Forget it, I'll only make things worse if I try to explain. It's settled then, a gentleman's agreement, let's give each other a high five!"
“Okay!” Yuexi agreed.
"Slap!" The two men struck each other hard with their palms.
Ji Yun breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be tied up by the Lingyun Sect after entering and then hung up at the sect's gate.
