"If you are talking about changes… there were some. After all, he was still young when he left the palace." Long Xi tried his best to recall. "When I first met him after he left, I just felt rather unfamiliar around him. We had been quite close previously. Chi Tong was also in the palace then. We were a little older than Long Yue and on rather appropriate terms with him. Long Yue was very weak then, and we were the ones who often protected him. But…"
"When I met him again, he was obviously no longer as timid. However, he was kept by Grand Tutor's side and didn't speak much. He was not as affectionate as before when he met me and Chi Tong."
Long Xi couldn't help feeling rather regretful as he spoke. Although he was no longer as close to Long Yue now, the memories of their youth together lingered in his heart.
Ji Fengyan could hear the regret in Long Xi's voice, but didn't pay much attention to it. "From then on, you and Long Yue seldom met up?"
