The sunlight was warm, and the years were peaceful.
After being stuck there like a prisoner for nearly two hours, Bai Zhi finally received permission from a certain white-haired loli to move.
Then, when the white-haired loli eagerly handed him the portrait she had drawn, Bai Zhi fell silent for quite a while as he looked at the image of himself that resembled the famous painting The Scream.
He had been hoping that a great teacher would produce an outstanding student, but judging from the result...

"...It's very well drawn."
Meeting Qingyi's expectant gaze, Bai Zhi reached out and patted her head, nodding against his conscience.
"Don't touch my head, or I won't grow taller."
Qingyi slapped his hand away, looking rather displeased.
"And don't treat me like a child."
"...I really wasn't."
"Then why won't you let me join?"
Qingyi looked up at him, her eyes blazing.
"There are already so many people anyway. One more of me won't make a difference."
Bai Zhi: "..."

Some people might be overjoyed by that, but he was not some perverted freak...
