Chapter 140
How did things end up like this?
Duzuo stood in the cold spring wind, lost in thought.
Not far from him was an outdoor pottery exhibition, where Joey was completely absorbed in pottery-making, along with the exhibition owner who was watching Joey’s deep immersion in the craft.
The two were enthusiastically discussing topics that Duzuo couldn’t understand at all.
Earlier through conversation, he had learned that the other person was named Joey (even though he heard this name, he still hadn’t realized this was that extraordinary person), a tourist from out of town.
Out of guilt for causing the other person to suffer Grant’s verbal attack, and his own fascination with this mysteriously charismatic young man—don’t misunderstand, this wasn’t any inappropriate fascination, it was just that artists are naturally drawn to muses that inspire them, just as cats can’t resist the tempting smell of dried fish—anyway, Duzuo had volunteered to be a one-day tour guide, leading this foreign tourist to properly explore Roland Kingdom and fully experience the Year Festival.
As for after the festival, perhaps seeing how dedicated he was as a guide, the other person might think he was a good person and be willing to be his one-day muse… that would be perfect.
Soon, Duzuo discovered that this mysterious tourist was an art enthusiast with extremely broad knowledge. No matter where they went or what exhibitions or activities they encountered, the other person seemed able to participate—as Joey put it, as long as it involved art, regardless of the type, he knew a thing or two about it.
The two went along, playing and exploring. Wherever they met people, Joey could seamlessly join in, becoming friends with others in an instant.
