"You don't get to see Wen Yanqing all the time." Bei Bei nudged Xu Bingxi with her elbow and playfully suggested, "I'm curious about how Lin Gantang agreed to Wen Yanqing's pursuit. Should we go over and gossip a bit?"
Xu Bingxi shrugged. "If you want to go, go ahead. Gossiping in front of those involved? I don't want my parents to know about this, they will punch me."
"You're an adult now, still scared of your parents? How embarrassing!" Bei Bei dragged her towards Lin Gantang.
Lin Gantang had been open about her relationship with Wen Yanqing, not hiding it. Wen Yanqing needed reassurance, and being exposed would give him a sense of stability.
She stood by his side, very close to him. This intimate proximity made Wen Yanqing feel as if he had tasted something sweet, like candy.
He looked at her like he was looking at a cherished treasure he had safeguarded for centuries. The air around them softened.
