When Wu Liangchen walked into the small courtyard, Third Brother Xie was sitting in the middle of it, enjoying the rare spring sunlight.
Upon seeing Wu Liangchen, she smiled faintly, patted the chair beside her, and gestured for him to sit down.
The weather in Huangpu Guard was truly wonderful today. The sky was a clear, cloudless blue.
The warm sunlight spilled down unobstructed, filling anyone it touched with a sense of bliss.
Wu Liangchen sat on the chair, savoring the rare moment of leisure.
Third Brother Xie said nothing either, and the two of them just sat there in silence.
After a long while, Third Brother Xie finally broke the silence. "You've worked hard during this time."
Wu Liangchen smiled. "You're too kind."
"I'm not being kind. I'm thanking you on behalf of the girls of Flower Square," Third Brother Xie said with great earnestness. She then leaned back in her chair, squinting as she looked up at the sky.
