"Not going?"
Master Kong, who had been examining the blueprint with his head bowed, looked up expressionlessly, "Why not?"
Lou Feng was briefly stunned.
Bewildered.
He didn't understand what was wrong with his refusal, which seemed so natural to him; likewise, he didn't understand why his teacher was taking it so seriously.
"It just feels unnecessary, right?"
"..."
Master Kong didn't speak.
He silently finished reviewing the blueprint in his hands, marked the construction highlights and suggestions, set down his pen, and finally turned his gaze to the restless student sitting beside him.
A soft sigh.
"I finally understand why I've always felt that you were lacking something."
She spoke with realization, "Your life is still too comfortable."
"Ah?"
Lou Feng was dumbfounded.
"I don't want to say that you can't tell wheat from chaff or that you don't know hardship, being from a distinguished family like the Lou Family, researching those things might even make people laugh."
