Chapter 56: Healing – Zhi Qi tasted the flavor of milk tea on his lips
Due to the trending news, Jiang Qi was again in the spotlight for a few days, so he hadn’t gone out to look for a job during this time.
On Zhi Qi’s suggestion, Jiang Qi decided to write a plan—clarifying what he wanted to do and what his goals were for each stage. This way, he would have a clear structure in his mind, making it easier to target his job search.
However, as he sat at the desk, staring at the blank “plan,” he felt an overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity every time he picked up the pen.
He couldn’t even remember the last time he had written anything. During his time in prison, he naturally had no access to “paper and pen” as such cultural items, and after he was released, it seemed everyone had moved beyond writing with a pen.
Everyone was fiddling with their phones, typing messages, and paper and pen gradually became mere decorations.
He hadn’t picked them up since.
In fact, Jiang Qi used to have good handwriting; it was neat and elegant, a reflection of his personality—slim yet graceful, giving off a sense of “iron brush and silver hook.”
But now, after not writing for so long, Jiang Qi discovered that when he picked up the pen, his wrist trembled uncontrollably, and when the tip touched the paper, it felt awkward and clumsy.
Frowning, Jiang Qi frustratedly dropped the pen.
