At night, a cold wind carried the chill of early winter.
In the small alley leading to Lai Zi's house, a slender, handsome figure stood in the darkness, his cool eyes glancing toward the alley's entrance from time to time.
He had already been waiting for a while. As the night deepened, a cold frost began to form on the tips of his hair.
A soft, sweet voice came from overhead, sounding as if it had descended from the heavens.
"Who are you waiting for here?"
Xu Jingxi froze. He quickly looked up to see Shen Ningning, a smile on her face, swinging her little feet as she sat on the highest roof eaves near him!
"You... How are you here?" Xu Jingxi was stunned.
Shen Ningning smiled sweetly, her watery eyes shimmering like starlight.
The vast, starry sky behind the little girl was like the shimmering train of a dress she wore.
