The autumn air was so thick you could almost touch it, and the trees in the yard had long since turned yellow, with leaves swirling down at the slightest breeze.
The palace attendants swept from morning till evening, and even after clearing the ground, it was soon covered in a golden carpet once more.
Shen Tang was lying by the window watching the falling leaves when she suddenly sneezed, "Ah-choo—"
She rubbed her reddened nose and muttered, "Who's talking about me behind my back…"
Xue Yinzhou was tidying up things in the inner room. Without turning his head at the sound, his silver tail deftly wrapped around her waist, effortlessly pulling her into his embrace.
With a "snap," the snake tail shut the window neatly. He wrapped her in a coat, "Caught a cold?"
"No, just caught a bit of the breeze~" Shen Tang naturally wrapped her arms around his waist and tipped her head up to kiss his chin.
