Qin Zhi'ai subconsciously looked up. She saw Gu Yusheng walking down from the front porch.
He didn't respond to the housekeeper when she said goodbye to him. He merely searched for a cigarette in the package with his head down.
He held the cigarette between his lips, not noticing her in the yard until he took out a lighter to light the cigarette.
He paused for a second and shoved both the lighter and cigarette back into the package. He continued to walk with a casual air about him.
Qin Zhi'ai saw he had no intentions of stopping to greet her, so she slowed down her pace, continuing to walk forward casually.
They walked closer to each other. As they passed, he stopped. He frowned as he stared at the thin, short skirt she was wearing and suddenly said, "It's already fall. Morning and evenings are cold. Why are you wearing so little to take a walk?"
