Xu Qing felt his face twitch involuntarily upon hearing the nickname "Timely Rain".
That's ominous.
He remained silent for a while, which made Yan Shan anxious and uncertain about what might have been wrong with his words. Then, Xu Qing slowly spoke: "Brother Yan, I was just pondering over my writing and have just come back to my senses. Just tell me, what do you need help with?"
Yan Shan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Xu Qing was simply distracted, which had given him quite a scare.
One must say that, having not seen him for a while, Xu Qing has shot up in height and his build has visibly become more robust than during the court exams.
Sudden rapid growth in adolescents is not uncommon, and although Yan Shan was surprised, he didn't dwell on it.
He slowly outlined the purpose of his visit.
