At dusk, the setting sun was replaced by a lush orange hue of clouds that adorned the sky with breathtaking beauty.
Nian Yuyu, who hadn't yet waited for Chu You to come back from grocery shopping to start cooking, first welcomed two unexpected guests.
"Yunyun?" She looked at Jiang Jingyun and Zhou Yunyan standing at the door, holding flowers, fruit, and milk, with surprise written all over her face.
"We're here to mooch a meal," Jiang Jingyun said with a radiant smile, a stark contrast to the forced cheerfulness of a few days prior.
She made herself at home, handing her stuff to Nian Yuyu and proceeding to the foyer to change into slippers, not forgetting to find Zhou Yunyan a pair of disposable ones.
It was Zhou Yunyan's first visit to Jing'an Garden, and instead of looking around curiously, he simply nodded at Nian Yuyu and said warmly, "Sorry to intrude."
Nian Yuyu hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, not at all."
