Banxi Pavilion
Her new friend Xiaolian fell into step with her on the third roll behind the older woman.
Liqiu gave her a side glance and as expected the other girl had a tiny smile on her face. in a few days,
she had known Xiaolian, she had observed that the other girl never lacked a friendly smile.
A fact that always amazed Liqiu who could hardly bring herself to smile these last few days.
She nearly walked into the back of the girl in front of her. Which would have caused a mess but Xiaolian quickly held her back.
Liqiu held her chest as her heartbeat quickened, she glanced at Xiaolian and whispered, "Thanks".
"it is alright", she smiled and helped Liqiu up.
Liqiu immediately looked toward the matron and luckily the older woman was conversing with a servant and had missed her little mistake.
Liqiu quickly straightened out her clothes and stood straight.
