Wen Zhi returned to the Dormitory House courtyard and saw the figure of Shang Hexing.
At first, she thought it was a trick of her eyes until she got closer and confirmed that the tall, slender silhouette was indeed his!
She jogged over and called out, "Mr. Shang."
Shang Hexing turned around, wearing a white shirt today, with a string of small-leaf rosewood beads added to his rolled-up sleeves, giving him a somewhat different appearance from usual.
"Where have you been?" he asked her.
Wen Zhi had wanted to ask him the same question but seeing him ask first, she had to answer, "I was sweeping in the front courtyard."
Actually, she hadn't finished yet. As Liang Yin lingered, she had to leave first, planning to return later to collect the pile of leaves.
Shang Hexing's eyes were gentle as he asked her, "Did you attend the morning lesson today?"
"No," Wen Zhi shook her head.
Then she paused, blinked, and looked at him, "Did you attend the morning lesson?"
Shang Hexing: "Hmm."
