A week passed and...

Yuan Ji: It was unsatisfactory.

YueChen: ....

A-Die: .... (I'm mute after all)

Jade Emperor (Yu Wang): ....

Basically All The TRTWYB Cast: ...

Quan Song: .....

ZhiYuan: I agree.

QS: Shifu!!! Don't be so straightforward!

ZY: F***, even if this book is written terribly, rolled on a stack of hay and full of **********, only a question is really terrible!!!

QS: .... But this is really terrible...

YC: *nods*

YJ: Anyway, answer this question.

Yuan Ji threw the single-papered file to his host, grumbling about the unfairness.

Asker: NatsumeRikka

Question: Have you ever wanted to go back in time and lived with Yuan Ji as an equal?

YueChen: Firstly thanks for NatsumeRikka, I really appreciate and am grateful for you. Thanks for favoring me over the others—

Yuan Ji: Next.

YueChen: —May God bless your soul, may God—

Yuan Ji: And the point is?

YueChen: Please help me, would you??

Yuan Ji: This one is yours, answer it, Dimwit.

Answer: No, I hadn't really thought about it. Going back in time sounds a little improbable even if Zhen Ding Lang Jian had proved that it was possible. I simply cherish every moment I have with Yuan Ji. If there's one moment I wanted to stay in there forever, I guess it might be either the dance or daily life in MiZi Village. Both of our birthdays were memorable too, but I preferred the former two. About living as an equal, I might have thought about it, but never wished for it. I just want the way we are now.

Yuan Ji: To sum it up, Natsume-san, Yang YueChen is a big, dumb, masochistic dork. Please rethink your favorite character next time.

A-Die: (You're just salty because Natsume-neechan preferred Chen-gege over you.)

Yuan Ji: Hell I am. Don't any of the readers like me??

Author: NatsumeRikka also liked A-Die.

Yuan Ji: Go to hell, you damned author, would you?

YueChen: A-Ji is my favorite character.

Quan Song: Not helping.

ZhiYuan: A-Song, I like him.

Quan Song: No.
