The snow on this winter day was heavy, and as night fell, the light snow turned into a blizzard, lending every encounter and reunion the air of a weary traveler battling through the snow.
But amidst the weariness, there were also some extraordinarily beautiful sights.
A young girl leaned halfway out, her face momentarily struck with astonishment, which made her appear endearing. The young man in red chuckled, propping the window open with the handle of his fan, his eyes leisurely shifting with a hint of affectionate gaze.
It was pure yet sensuous, unexpected yet like something arranged in a play.
In the silence, the young man broke the calm with a smile lifting at the corner of his lips, he asked, "Stunned?"
Jiang Li came back to her senses and said, "Why has the Duke come?"
"Aren't you supposed to be going to the Duke Residence tonight?" Jih Heng replied with a smile, "I've come to pick you up."
Jiang Li: "..."
