Nan Yi turned around when she heard the call, responded with a slightly unfocused look in her eyes, "Hmm?"
"My younger sister is missing a suitable outfit for the Dragon Boat Festival and would like to ask Sister Tong for help..."
"What?" Nan Yi glanced at her.

Nara nodded and said, "Yes, go ahead."
She gracefully walked away, her clothes fluttering, the exquisite butterflies embroidered on the hem of her skirt seemingly dancing in her wake, and the light in the room vanished as well.
