In late autumn, the branches were bleak.
The last yellow leaf was swept away by the west wind and landed at the entrance of Jingsi Hall, just in that moment, stepped on by a black shoe.
After stepping down, it didn't lift up for a while.
The owner of the shoe stood quietly at the door, looking at Miss Tang inside the room.
The young girl was wearing the uniform blue jacket of the academy students, but uniquely, a few maple leaves were embroidered on the cuffs, bringing a strong sense of autumn.
She was bent over the desk writing something intermittently, occasionally frowning her delicate white brows.
Perhaps she was too focused on her thoughts and didn't notice someone had stopped at the door.
However, there wasn't just Miss Tang in the room; another young lady sensed the change in light, looked up, and upon seeing the person at the door, stood up respectfully, hands down, and said: "Second Miss, Mr. Pei is here."
Tang Xiaobai then raised her head and stood up as well.
