In the lonely spring courtyard, the cold moon turns to frost.
The wind lifted the corners of the young man's crimson robe, as he stood amidst the sparse tree shadows, his brows and eyes illuminated by a sliver of moonlight piercing through the branches.
Lu Tong's brow furrowed slightly. What was Pei Yunmeng doing here?
Pei Yunmeng walked up to Lu Tong and said, "Doctor Lu."
Then he paused, stared at her with a smile, and said, "No, that's not right. I should call you Medical Officer now."
The term "Medical Officer," falling on the ears of a disheveled Lu Tong in the Southern Pharmacy, sounded like a thoughtless mockery.
Lu Tong glanced around, saw no one else, and suddenly grabbed Pei Yunmeng's sleeve, swiftly walking towards the other end.
Pei Yunmeng was slightly taken aback, his gaze falling on her grip on his sleeve. He didn't speak, letting her lead him into an old medicine shop not far away.
