Liu Man knelt to scoop up Daylight in her arms.

Whoever declared that cats would forget their owners if given food was misled.

Daylight, who lived the high life at Yu Zhan's, remembered Liu Man for sure. She reached out her front paws, grabbed onto her owner's finger, and put it in her mouth. She lightly bit on it and wasn't willing to let go.

"My little Daylight." Liu Man used her spare hand to pet Daylight as she cooed.

"She's missed you these twenty days."

Yu Zhan took care of Paul and walked over to pet Daylight. Daylight closed her eyes and contentedly lifted her head so Yu Zhan could also pet her chin.

It was obvious that Yu Zhan pets her like this very often.

It was also obvious that Daylight now thought Yu Zhan was also her owner.

The pair brought the cat and the dog into the living room. Yu Zhan's living room decorations were the same as it was in his photo, with "The Untrammeled Traveler" covering an entire wall. The actual calligraphy work was more astonishing than it was in the photo. Only Yu Zhan's gigantic living room could bear such a magnificent calligraphy work.

Liu Man, with Daylight in her arms, stood in front of her work and looked at it for a long time.

"Sometimes, I do this too. I would stand here and admire this work, looking at it word by word. I would search online for words I don't understand, but the internet doesn't hold lots of information about seal characters," Yu Zhan's voice sounded behind Liu Man.

"The way you wrote some words are rarely seen. For example, the way you wrote this 'South'. The seal characters on the internet separate these two dots in the middle, but you connect these two dots. I really want to know why. During the break, I even went to the library in hopes of finding out why."

Liu Man turned her head and asked him out of curiosity, "Did you find out why?"

Yu Zhan shook his head, "Maybe it's because I didn't go to the right place."

The things she wrote were recognized and examined. She felt both accomplished and happy, and she explained to Yu Zhan:

"I wrote 'South' in 'Print' seal characters."

Yu Zhan was perplexed, "What 'Print' seal characters? Seal characters from India?"

TL's Note: In Chinese, 'Print' sounds the same as 'India.'

Liu Man didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "You really know very less about Ancient China culture."

"Well, there's no way for me to know much about it. I told you before that I left China when I was a kid, and I've been completely brainwashed by the western culture," Yu Zhan mocked himself, "So, what are 'Print' seal characters?"

"'Print' seal characters are seal characters carved on stamps, such as the emperor's stamp or the queen's. They all use 'Print' seal characters."

"I've learned something," Yu Zhan imitated actions from ancient Chinese, "My admiration for you is like a surging river."

Liu Man felt it was awkward to receive such a solemn treatment, "It's not a big deal."

Han's papermaking was not as advanced as later generations. Paper is scarce and expensive. There was almost no paper that could be supplied to the cold palace. To let Liu Man, as a child, learn Chinese characters, Madam Xu first asked her to dip her brush in water and write on the ground. When she grew up a little, she was taught to use a knife to carve on wood and stone, and then she started writing on the silk with a brush.
