Thinking about all sorts of things, Yan Xiaye followed Li Yuntang as they left the little shop run by the muscular uncle and slowly walked back along the path they came.
At this moment, the sunset was casting its orange-yellow glow from the horizon, outlining everything before them with dazzling gold edges.
Unbeknownst to each other, both slowed their steps, enjoying the leisurely and peaceful moment.
Until they passed by a stall selling jewelry, Yan Xiaye walked past without a second thought, but Li Yuntang beside her stopped her.
She had been distracted all the way, and lifting her eyes, she looked at the dozen or so girls chattering not far away, and then cast an inquiring glance at Li Yuntang.
"Wait, I think there's a necklace that really suits you."
Smiling, he answered her query. Li Yuntang led her into the crowd and took a necklace from a coral rack. The ruby pendant refracted the setting sun, emitting an astonishing glow.
