The air was filled with the scent of hibiscus emanating from Wen Nan.
Lu Yanqing's mind, which had been in a daze, calmed down.
He noticed a strand of Wen Nan's hair, shorter than the others.
He carefully pulled it up, then carefully twirled it between his fingertips.
He didn't care how Zhuang Fei treated him. He was used to being treated coldly.
