Lin Yun's awakening came just in time, Qing Nu had not yet turned completely to stone.
When he awoke, he was also somewhat puzzled, thinking he was dreaming—otherwise, how could he have suddenly appeared in front of Qing Nu?
Once he realized he wasn't dreaming, he suspected that Qing Nu might have moved him while he was asleep; this goddess was insincere and petulant, and it wasn't his first time experiencing it.
It had been a year since their cold war started. During that year, Lin Yun had considered reconciling with Qing Nu, but Qing Nu's slap had hurt too much, and he had his pride, never finding the right moment.
Now that Qing Nu had taken the first step, he should also show some generosity and take a step towards her, hoping to thaw the ice between them.
With a decision made, Lin Yun quickly began his act.
"Eh, how did I end up here?"
