Shen Jing didn't celebrate her birthday. She felt it was of little significance and rarely mentioned it to others, preferring to have dinner at her grandmother's place.
Time just passed.
Her grandmother was the only one who remembered this clearly. "Where's Nannan's boyfriend? Why haven't you brought him over yet?"
Shen Jing bluffed, "I don't think he's presentable, so I don't want to bring him."
Her grandmother laughed. "You and that sharp little mouth of yours, always so stubborn."
In the end, neither of them brought up the subject again.
During that time, Shen Jing went to visit her master again, diligently learning and practicing the pipa.
Xing Fei, seeing her so busy she was almost late for work, remarked, "You're already so good. Why continue learning? Are you that bored with life?"
