Bian Yue came home late, nearly at dawn.
She had sent Shen Jinci a message in advance, saying that she would be coming home late tonight, so seeing Shen Jinci still waiting for her in the hall took her by surprise.
"Jinci, why haven't you gone to bed?" Bian Yue asked in astonishment, "Didn't I tell you to rest early?"
"I fell asleep and just woke up," Shen Jinci replied, in his home attire, his usual aloofness subdued.
He walked towards Bian Yue, naturally taking the bag from her hand, helped her take off her coat, and then looked into the clear gray of her eyes and softly said, "How come you're so busy just after celebrating your birthday? Yueyue, I hope you can take care of your health. Can you?"
"Today I..." Bian Yue paused in her speech, looked at Shen Jinci, and gently said, "Today I met with Lu Zhonian."
