On the other line, Jay appeared extremely gloomy.
Boye did not follow their initial agreement of settling down in Cloud City. Could it be that the reason for the change of plans was due to them encountering some sort of danger on the way there? Or perhaps Grandma Boye had deceived him from the start?
Where were they now?
Serpent Land!
Boye and her partner were lying leisurely on their comfy chairs in the courtyard in a multi-story villa. 0 n the other hand, Baby Zetty had her legs spread, resting them on two stools while her bum was hanging mid-air. She was holding a book and using all her might to focus her attention.
Grandpa would look at her from time to time, and he would sigh each time he noticed Baby Zetty’s gaze occasionally drifting away from the book.
"That child can't concentrate on studying at all. If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to finish a single book in a year."
Boye said, "She hasn’t healed from her broken heart just yet, so give her some time."
Grandpa said, "She's young, so time is still on her side.
But I'm afraid that we’ll not have much time to teach her anymore."
Boye looked at the old man suspiciously. "You've always been optimistic, so why are you saying such disheartening words today?"
Grandpa merely stroked his beard and chuckled while saying, "I'm merely anxious for you."
Thump!
Baby Zetty fell to the ground from the gap between the two stools due to absent-mindedness.
Boye shook her head and said, "Come here, Baby Zetty."
Baby Zetty walked over to Boye in a vexed manner, feeling ashamed of herself when she said, "I'm sorry, M r. Boye."
"How much did you read today?"
"20 pages."
