Sitting under the tar-black sky, Ru glanced heavenwards to see the large clouds gathering in the sky. The postcard-perfect night sky changed its color and began to darken into gravel-grey.
The soft wind blew like whispering softly. Xiao Zhi-Ren glanced at the side of her face intently.
"Xiao Zhi-Ren!" Qin Qu was calling out his name making Xiao Zhi-Ren groan.
He immediately stood up and said, "He's really annoying. I'll see you around." With that, he turned around the shrubs and went to Qin Qu's side.
"Stop shouting! I'm right here," Xiao Zhi-Ren spoke abrasively making Qin Qu narrow his eyes at him.
"I told you to make some connections. Why are you hiding here?" Qin Qu asked acrimoniously.
"I can make connections if only the hyenas inside leave me alone." Xiao Zhi-Ren replied matter-of-factly. Qin Qu pursed his lips at the way Xiao Zhi-Ren addressed the ladies from aristocratic families as 'hyenas'.
