After leaving the Public Security Headquarters, Su Yu had intended to head straight back to his mansion. But just as he turned to leave, his senior sister, Lin Wanzhu, gently took his hand.
"Ah Yu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Walk with me on the street for a while."
Su Yu turned his head just in time to see Lin Wanzhu lift a delicate hand, languidly tucking a stray lock of black hair behind her ear. A rare, bewitching charm graced her usually cool and aloof face. His heart skipped a beat, and he smiled.
"Then I'll walk you home, Senior Sister."
The two walked side by side along the wide Black Stone Avenue. Twilight deepened as the vast, red sunset cast its light across the sky, stretching their two tall, close figures into long shadows on the street.
"My lord! My lady! Come take a look! Sugar figures, blown and shaped while you watch!" a stall owner shouted enthusiastically from his small, tidy wooden stand by the road.
