  Xia Wei really did end up finding a calligraphy teacher and resuming calligraphy classes. She didn't have much time for it, just once a week, but she was far more serious about it this time. Once she got off work, she happily distributed her results to her girlfriends.

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: The first day of calligraphy class! [picture] The teacher had me practicing pressing and turning the brush... oh fine, I'm just drawing a tiger while looking at a cat [hides face]

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: ... why did you start practicing calligraphy again?

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: Self-cultivation :)

  Invincible Little Sweetie: How leisurely [laughing cry]

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: [photo] Boys and girls, I've just bought my plane tickets! I'll be back next week!

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: ... You jerk, you actually managed to come back before me!

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: How long will you be on this project?

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: It shouldn't be too long _(:3"∠)_ Wait for me to come back before going out to dinner again!

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ... So all you care about is the food?

  Invincible Little Sweetie: Do you need me to pick you up at the airport, Twiggy?

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: No, my parents will be picking me up.

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: Where do uncle and aunt live?

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: They've got somewhere to live, don't you worry about it.

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: Ouch...

  Xia Wei had always felt that she was taking advantage of Twiggy by squatting in her apartment. While she was about to open up a private chat, Jiang Zhi Zhou poked at her. "Would you like to go down and walk the dog?"

  Xia Wei looked at his message before replying. "I've already walked him."

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: So early today?

  Xia Wei: Yes, I wanted to come home and practice calligraphy, so I got off work early~

  Jiang Zhi Zhou knew about her sudden urge to learn calligraphy, and was also curious as to why. All she told him was that she just wanted to learn.

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: I've got two tickets to a concert next week. Our seats are pretty good, want to go?

  Xia Wei: I'm not sure. Twiggy will be back next week, so we may have a get together.

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: Let's talk about it next week, then.

  Xia Wei: Alright.

  Jiang Zhi Zhou stared at his phone, frowning. Ever since she had met his parents, he had had the nagging feeling that Xia Wei was avoiding him, whether intentionally or not. Although they met everyday to have lunch together, something felt different. Was he being too sensitive, or was she hiding from him?

  After having spoken to his mother, he had hoped to discuss with Xia Wei about the topic she brought up, but no suitable opportunity had ever come up, and he just didn't know where to begin.

  Meanwhile, Xia Wei sat on her sofa, holding her phone, lost in thought. Though she understood that she shouldn't avoid her problems but instead should actively resolve them, the background of the Jiang family was so overwhelming as to make her feel a little breathless. She had long known about the difference in their classes. If it hadn't been for wealthy, generous Twiggy, their paths might never even have crossed.
