The night had closed in, and the warm breeze of July gently carried the heat wave as it blew.
Inside the car, Liao Feiyi's astonished gaze fell on Jiang Muwan's profile.
And the latter's eyes were fixed ahead.
In the fading twilight, the man wore an iron-gray shirt with sleeves rolled up high. The warm yellow of the street lamps cast upon his face, adding a disarming softness to his otherwise disruptive charm.
Eyes met, and after a moment of surprise, a shallow smile broke through.
Coming back to her senses, Liao Feiyi turned her head, following Jiang Muwan's gaze. She saw the man standing in front of the car, joy in his eyes. She pushed open the car door, got out, and walked briskly towards Gu Jiangnian.
Outside the car, the man's deep gaze slowly shifted from Jiang Muwan to rest upon Liao Feiyi, the traces of warmth in his eyes seemingly scattered by the night wind, leaving nothing but a cold, icy stare.
