Outside, she caught sight of his tall, rigid figure striding toward the courtyard. The evening breeze tugged at his clothes, but he didn't slow down.
"Huo Ting Cheng!" Tang Fei's voice carried across the dimly lit path, calling him by his full name.
For the briefest moment, his shoulders stiffened, just hearing her call his name in full amused him, but he didn't turn around. He just wasn't feeling like it probably just wanted to sulk.
