Someone bent over to pick up the scrap paper on the ground and smiled as they spoke, "Did it offend you?"
Lu Tong's body stiffened.
She looked up and saw Pei Yunmeng walking in from outside the door.
As the night deepened, the lamplight illuminated the figure of the young man who had shed his crimson official uniform from the day, now clad in a pale moon-white spring shirt adorned with subtle cloud patterns in jade brocade. Underneath the candlelight, he moved with the grace of an ethereal being, bathing in the light.
Lu Tong regained her composure, "Why have you come?"
His entrance into the Medical Officer Institute was nearly like entering a land without people, and Lu Tong was no longer surprised. If anyone was going to suffer from this discovery, it wouldn't be her. So she let it be.
