Yan Luoxi coaxed Aunt Tong a few more times, then gave her the gift she bought in Gongzhou. Aunt Tong was so happy she looked like she could blossom, saying the lady was generous and always brought her gifts after trips.
Yan Luoxi took another gift out to find Tian Lingyun. Tian Lingyun sat on the swing, hugging the fluffy little puppy, staring blankly at the dark sky.
Ever since she came back to Banshan Villa with her, she mostly stared at the sky in a daze, as if her soul had left this world, wandering elsewhere.
Yan Luoxi sat on the stone bench, reached out and scratched the puppy's chin, feeling the warm fur, which felt particularly comforting.
The puppy barked twice, and Tian Lingyun snapped back, seeing Yan Luoxi sitting right in front of her, she said: "Why are you out here? You just got back from a business trip, go rest early."
Yan Luoxi handed over the gift in her hand, "Saw it in Gongzhou, bought it on a whim. It's nothing valuable, just thought it was novel."
