The curtains in the room were drawn, and agarwood incense burned on the table. He walked to the window and pulled it open, only for a sliver of light to sneak in, prompting Xie Shang, who lay in bed, to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

“Don’t open it; it’s blinding,” he said.

Gu Kaiyun let the curtain fall and glanced at the medicine bottles by the bed.

He couldn’t keep prescribing medicine for him at this rate—it wasn’t acceptable.

He went over and extinguished the lit agarwood in the burner. “What incense did you light?”

It must have been burning for a while, the scent of gardenias was strong.

Xie Shang’s hand remained over his eyes; he hadn’t slept. “Chinese honeycomb,” he replied.

Gu Kaiyun had heard of Chinese honeycomb, no wonder he had been smelling the scent of gardenias on Xie Shang lately.

“You didn’t sleep last night?”

Xie Shang did not respond.

Gu Kaiyun sat down in a nearby chair, feather duster in hand, dusting off the incense ash that had settled on the burner. His demeanor was refined, his fingers neatly manicured, and even the trivial items in his grasp seemed as if they were valuable works of art. “I heard from Dongzhou that you’re heading to KE; everything has been arranged. Have you made up your mind?” he asked.

“Mhm.”

As a lawyer, Xie Shang had all the necessary qualifications.

He had served as a legal consultant several times before and had even helped He Dongzhou’s friend deal with international cases. He could start practicing law again whenever he wanted.

“I know you don’t like being a lawyer,” Gu Kaiyun observed.

Xie Shang said, “Whether I like it or not isn’t important.”

Gu Kaiyun knew for whom he was doing this.

Previously, Xie Shang had been indifferent in his pursuits, too smooth sailing, thus nothing could truly bind him. Raised in the Xie Family, he developed a rebellious streak, and no one could control him.

Now, the ever-burning Daydream Fragrance in the burner was evidence, evidence of his surrender to someone else.

“You’re acting so unlike yourself; it’s disconcerting,” Gu Kaiyun said, as he tidied up the incense tools on the table. “I used to think you weren’t this kind of person.”
