"Leave? Why are you telling her to leave?" Yun Qiqi protested, pouting.
Mia only lowered her head.
She knew that she had to go back.
Not only because of the studies, but because of Dad as well.
He would be worried, and neither she nor Noa wanted that.
So she didn't try to argue.
Though she wanted to stay, cultivate, and experience more of this wonderful world, it was time to say goodbye to it.
However, it was only for a while.
She could return later.
When the time was right, but until then, she had to go back to her ordinary life.
Noa noticed her emotions and comforted her as well.
"The shop is always open for you. You know that," he said, locking eyes with her.
Mia nodded.
"I know," she said, pausing to find better words. "But everything feels so surreal… I am afraid that it will all disappear."
She wasn't only talking about the store.
She meant Noa and their reunion, too, her face saying it all.
Seeing this, Noa patted her head, grinning.
