The afternoon sunshine fell on the villa area of Nine Streams Rose Garden, adding a touch of warmth to the previously cold and desolate area. Walking on the roads within the villa area, one could clearly see many high-level canaries, dressed in suggestive attire, standing on the balconies of many villas. Their appearances and figures could easily earn high marks.
Among them, some were holding a glass of red wine, basking in the sun; others were lounging in chairs, reading fashion magazines.
For them, it was a quiet afternoon.
Yet residing in the same Nine Streams Rose Garden, Kong Xi, the Great Shopkeeper of the Qing Gang in Hangzhou, did not share the same leisurely contentment of the canaries. On the contrary, his mind had been unsettled since noon.
The cause of his restlessness was a gift.
