Jinghe left the house, quietly and cautiously, heading towards the girl sitting on the steps. He was carrying a tray with steaming cups of tea on it.

"Are you sitting here again?" He asked softly, placing the tray next to her and sitting down next to her.

"I don't need to be a God to understand your thoughts. Are you thinking about that village again?" Jinghe continued, but has not yet gotten an answer from her.

Squinting thoughtfully, he picked up one of the cups and handed it to her, then took the other for himself.

"Careful, the tea is hot." He warned, but then, with a sigh of sadness, he asked. "Do you really want to return to the human world so badly, even after what they did to you? Is it a bad thing to stay here forever, with me?"
