The sky was still early.
The ink stains on the wooden board had dried.
Shen Hua leaned against the railing on the second floor, tranquil and delicate. Her eyes trembled slightly as she swallowed the medicine pills Yicui had brought.
——Thump! Thump!
The rapid and obviously abnormal beating of her heart made Shen Hua feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Before she could calm herself, steady footsteps approached from behind, and Cui Yun stopped a zhang away from her. He stood with hands behind his back, handsome yet aloof and indifferent.
Cui Yun had not yet taken off his official clothes. The well-tailored uniform only made him seem more unattainable than the bright moon in the sky.
Clearly, he had finished discussing important matters and had come to invite Shen Hua inside.
Before he could speak, Shen Hua suppressed her discomfort and called out cheerfully.
"I'm already hungry, has the food been served?"
Cui Yun nodded and said in a flat tone, "The mushroom soup has been served."
