On the other side.
After walking out of the Imperial Heritage Hotel, Sheng Qianxia and Gong Beiyao found their parking spot.
As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, Gong Beiyao buckled her seatbelt for her.
His unexpected tenderness left her momentarily unable to cope. The hand holding the thermos cup involuntarily gripped harder.
Avoiding eye contact, she pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.
Yet her breath became more and more erratic.
Today's incident of wearing the same dress as Shu Fu suddenly reminded her of the matching outfits she and Gong Beiyao had donned many years ago.
Back then, after she found out he was a boy, she always felt embarrassed about it.
But now, thinking back, she felt that she had unwittingly worn matching outfits with him.
To others, they must have seemed bold and unrestrained.
She actually found this quite nice.
Just like their sudden embrace at the banquet earlier.
