Seeing the undisguised joy on the young lady's face, Lu Zhan paused. His stern features softened slightly, and he gave a small nod. "Cousin."
Zhi Wan had many things she wanted to ask him, but now that she saw him in person, for a moment she didn't know how to begin.
Holding her umbrella, she stood hesitantly in the rain.
Lu Zhan glanced at her embroidered shoes, which were already soaked. He frowned slightly and said coolly, "The rain is heavy out here. Come inside to talk." After speaking, he turned and entered the courtyard.
Zhi Wan hesitated for a moment, then followed him inside, holding her umbrella.
Arriving at the side hall, she closed her umbrella and leaned it against the wall. Just as she was about to enter, she heard her cousin instructing Jiang Shi, "Go to the next courtyard and ask Shuang'er to bring a pair of shoes and socks for the Miss."
Hearing this, Zhi Wan looked down at her own shoes and only then realized they were soaked.
