"Time really does catch up with you."
"But there's something strange. Mo Jingchun this fellow—I feel like he hasn't aged at all."
Compared with people his age, Mo Jingchun's face really hadn't changed. Could it be that he'd taken a Youth Preservation Pill or undergone a Gene Mutation? Qin Yuzhu shook her head and didn't dwell on it.
But a day later, when Qin Yuzhu met Mo Jingchun and they talked, the topic left her utterly stunned. In that moment, Qin Yuzhu seemed to understand why Mo Jingchun's appearance hadn't changed.
