Watching Aunt Axia's figure leave, the two exchanged glances before simultaneously lowering their heads to look at the hot drinks in their hands. Hu Daoke couldn't help but ask, "Still drinking?"
"Let's drink, who knows, it might be invigorating!" Cheng Ziang said, extending his cup forward, apparently wanting to toast with Hu Daoke.
"Hey, now you're speaking my language!" Hu Daoke revealed a knowing smile, clinked cups with Cheng Ziang, and the two of them tilted their heads back, downing the hot drinks in their cups in one go.
After finishing their drinks, the two tossed their cups to the ground and leaned against each other lazily, watching the wood burn fiercely in the fireplace.
Cheng Ziang turned to glance at Feng, who was sitting on the blanket, listlessly hugging her long blade with her head cocked to the side.
