The breeze, on the cusp of winter, was far less gentle than usual. Even under the bright sunshine, it carried a chill.
Yu Zhi tightened her coat around herself, took a purple candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.
Squinting slightly, she savored the sweet, subtle flavor while waiting for Ruan Yuan to come down and meet her.
"Little Zhi, over here."
Within five minutes, a woman dressed in pajamas came jogging out of the building entrance in a hurry.
Ruan Yuan linked her arm with Yu Zhi's and yawned. "I should've just given you a keycard earlier."
Her eyes carried a hint of fatigue, as if she hadn't fully woken up.
"Why didn't you just toss it down?" Yu Zhi raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a faint smile.
Ruan Yuan: "..."
Good point—she'd been dumb.
"Let's go, let's go, it's freezing out here." Ruan Yuan gave a shiver, pressed herself close to Yu Zhi, and quickened her pace considerably.
