The sky was gradually darkening.
Shen Yi, as usual, knocked on the door before pushing it open.
Lin Baiwei, as always, hid in the back courtyard and only poked her head out upon hearing his voice.
Unlike the drenched appearance of the previous day, she had changed into that white outfit today. The form-fitting long gown fluttered about her, giving her an ethereal air. If only she could control her craving for food a bit and stop swallowing saliva every now and then, she would truly resemble an otherworldly beauty.
"Hee, I smell the scent of meat."
"Did you get your salary?"
She reached out her hand to take the clay pot and the lotus leaf-wrapped package from Shen Yi's hands, and eagerly set them on the table to open.
Watching her silhouette, Shen Yi felt a touch of envy.
To be able to show the same happy face when eating simple bread or fine cuisine, if he had had such a disposition in his previous life, perhaps he wouldn't have had to live so strenuously.
