The temperature remained low during the afternoon, but the chill did not matter as they were home.
Xi Xiaye was rearranging books in the study while Mu Yuchen was busy going through some documents.
After tidying up the study, Xi Xiaye went to get prepared instead of bothering him. Sis Wang had gone to the Mu residence, and hardly anyone else came by except the servants who visited to clean from time to time.
It was peacefully quiet inside the study, and he could smell the faint fragrance of tea some time later. When his woman silently handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to him, he raised his head and noticed her taking away his empty teacup.
"What time is it?" Mu Yuchen asked as he took a sip.
"It's almost 2 p.m. now. Are you about to be done?" Xi Xiaye replied.
Mu Yuchen closed the document and left it aside, then he leaned back against the chair. "Almost there. Are you tired?"
