Qin Yue looked at Su Jian across from her.
Though his appearance had not changed all that much, his bearing was utterly different from when they had first met.
Nearly twenty years of drifting and hardship...
These thirty years had changed far too much in the end.
"Come to think of it, we've been here for nearly five years now," Qin Yue said softly.
