You were by my side,
just for a brief encounter,
and in the sunny May, lightning flashed...
——Wang Fei "Years Flow Like Water", Lyrics: Lin Xi
...
...
Ning Xiaofei turned at the sound and saw the two men by the window, her lips lifting in a smile.
In that moment, it was as if lightning streaked across her eyes, brightening the whole yard by several degrees.
Years later, when Xicheng remembered this girl, he could still vividly recall the allure of her smile.
On that night in May, it had brightened the whole spring.
Of course, that was to come later.
At the moment, he merely turned away, retracting his gaze, and irritably glared at Xun Yang who had just greeted Ning Xiaofei, blaming him for disturbing that perfect moment.
The perplexed Xun Yang, glared at, touched the back of his head, still not understanding what he had done wrong this time.
Downstairs, a quiet girl in a cheongsam had already approached Ning Xiaofei.
"You must be Miss Ning, upstairs please!"
