The sunlight pierced the clouds, casting oblique rays and illuminating the room with a red glow.
Lu Tong slowed her pace, lifting her eyes to the person beside her.
The setting sun gradually sank behind him, elongating his shadow into a softer silhouette. His dark, gold-embroidered clothes shimmered with a pale golden hue under the slanting sun, exceptionally moving.
Lu Tong was slightly dazed.
She hadn't expected Pei Yunmeng to remember her casual, dismissive response.
It was the same in Mangming Township, where upon seeing a yellow dog, he had shielded her to his side. She had previously seen the black dog from the Palace Front Office too, a beautiful, nimble hunting dog.
Did he really think she was afraid of dogs?
As if noticing her gaze, Pei Yunmeng looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Tong shook off the odd sensation in her heart, "Nothing."
