Chapter 363 - 15: Scenic Views and Hidden Worries (2)
On the second day, Andrew woke up early as usual. When he pushed open the door, he saw Christina squatting by the stove, with soot smudged on her face, looking dirty and disheveled.
"You... you wait a bit longer. I’m trying to light the fire without using dragon form. It’s quite difficult."
Andrew sighed helplessly and smiled, "No need to rush, take your time. We won’t go to the adventurer guild this morning. I have some other matters to attend to."
"So... should I go alone? Or should I stay home alone?"
"You can come with me to handle the business."
"Really?" Christina was overjoyed, her expression so delighted that Andrew was somewhat taken aback.
Sometimes, Andrew actually felt quite sympathetic towards Christina. Before meeting him, how much suffering had this lost dragon gone through? *If he left, she might return to her original life.*
Sometimes, Andrew was very envious of Christina. *She could always find joy in trivial things, her joys and sorrows were written all over her face. She was like a transparent person, so straightforward, so free.*
*Yes, free. That’s the word to use. Though he seemed freer than her, seemingly able to handle everything independently, it wasn’t truly the case. Her heart was free. Compared to her, Andrew’s heart was weighed down by many things, bearing heavy burdens, so much that every decision needed careful consideration.*
*She was a person running in the open fields, not knowing where she would go, but every step was on solid ground.*
