It was already late autumn.

The chilly breeze swept up the fallen leaves in the courtyard making the place look even more deserted.

It had been a long time since someone came.

As the wind blew, thick layers of dust that rested on the steps danced.

“Noa, what are you looking at?”

Standing in the courtyard was Noa, who had a trench coat wrapped around her, revealing her slender figure.

Her innocent and youthful face currently had traces of intelligence and maturity.

A puzzled Geetha stood beside her with a bag slung behind his back as he gazed at the beautiful woman before his eyes.

Ever since Noa had promised Ye Fan to take care of the boy and his grandparents, she would always pick Geetha up from school, no matter how busy she was.

On their way back, she would always stand in the same place for a long time.

However, she did not speak or move. She just stood and stared from afar.

“Nothing.” Noa smiled faintly and sat on the stone steps in front of the door.

She patted him on the head and asked softly, “Geetha, do you have someone you'd like to meet? Someone you want to see every day?”

Geetha gave it a thought before answering, “My grandma, I think.”

She smiled again. “What a good boy.”

Both of them sat there for a while, watching the sky slowly darken and the rays from the sunset coloring the land red.

Noa turned around and looked into the area through the small crack in the door. After giving the courtyard a final glance, she suddenly stood up.

“Let's go, Geetha,” she prompted, getting ready to leave.

Geetha, however, was a smart boy. He had roughly figured out something. “Noa, there's someone in there you really want to meet, right? Why don't you go in and meet that person? You're so pretty. I'm sure everyone loves you and will want to meet you.”

Noa shook her head. “I'm not that great of a person. Maybe, to him, I'm just one of those losers.”

As she said that, sorrow filled her eyes.

She envied Qiu Mucheng a lot, for the latter was Ye Fan's wife.

She also admired Junie because Ye Fan treated the Forest God like a relative. The goddess could hug him and approach him with no constraint.

But most of all, she wished she were Tsukuyomi Tenshin. Though the Moon God could not be with her master, she could kiss Ye Fan without any care for the world's rules.

As for Noa, she did not dare to do anything.

Moreover, she felt as if she was nothing to Ye Fan.

She believed she was just someone insignificant in his life.

No matter how upset she was, that feeling of dejection only lasted for a short while.
