Song Zhiqing felt that Bai Shuilian's state was a bit off. Ever since they started their journey and even after the vegetarian meal, she seemed restless and a bit strange.
"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't we head back to the mansion?"
Bai Shuilian quickly shook her head and said, "We've just had our meal. You should rest for a while. It's rare to come out, and I want to explore the temple. Who knows when we'll come again."
Song Zhiqing said, "Do you need my company then?"
"No need. You've been accompanying me since morning and must be tired. Take a rest; the Zen Temple here seems peaceful to me."
Song Zhiqing indeed felt a bit sleepy and didn't want to move, so he said, "Then don't go far. Make sure to have Grandma Quan and Hai Yan with you. Don't be alone."
Bai Shuilian nodded with a smile, helped him lie down, and then left the room.
Before stepping out, she paused, looked back, noticing him lying sideways with his back to her, not acknowledging her presence at all.
