Song Yunzhao was surprised, too. Ji Yunting was back again?
'What a bizarre plot this is.'
"Since he was posted outside the capital, how could he return so easily?" Song Yunzhao was quite curious. 'Isn't this a little too surreal?'
"They say he couldn't acclimate to the local environment and fell ill several times. If he didn't come back, I'm afraid he would have died there," Feng Yunjin said.
Song Yunzhao: ...
'She figured this must be the work of the great "Auntie Plot." As the female lead's unattainable first love, he was supposed to have been an official in the Capital City all along in the book. Now that he's gone, how could the story move forward without him? So, the plot just had to bring him back, right?'
Thinking about it that way, Song Yunzhao felt that Ji Yunting was really... rather pathetic.
'Failing to acclimate, and not just once, but getting so sick he was half-dead. This wasn't just pathetic; it was piling misery on top of misery.'
