After hanging up, Chu You slid open the window halfway, and the cold wind blew in, smoothing the thrum of his heart.
The sky outside had turned utterly dark, a deep ink-black, save for the scattering of stars that sprinkled the firmament, shimmering faintly.
He glanced at the night sky, a fine smile shrouded in depth of his dark eyes.
After a while, he turned and walked into the living room.
...
In Jing'an Garden, Nian Yuyu placed her phone on the coffee table, slowly moved to the water dispenser, and filled a cup with cold water.
The cold water quelled the warmth on her cheeks.
Lying back on the sofa, she picked up her phone and messaged Jiang Jingyun.
Nian Yuyu: "When will the heating stop?"
Jiang Jingyun: "???"
Nian Yuyu, with an upturned corner of her mouth, typed a message, "The heating is a bit high, it's hot."
After sending the message, she remembered something, put down her phone, and walked to the kitchen.
