Ch'en the Great

Bai Ye lay sprawled over the desk, casually flipping through the wuxia novel he had borrowed from Ch'en Hui-chieh.

Meanwhile, Ch'en Hui-chieh sat upright beside him, handling the documents in her hands.

A small teddy bear plush sat on the desk. It was the lucky charm Misha had given Ch'en Hui-chieh back then. Bai Ye had one too, which he kept carefully stored in a box.

"Mm."

Bai Ye nodded and closed the book. He wasn't lying—there
