Upon opening his eyes, Zhao Rong heard the chirping of summer insects.
The cool breeze of the afternoon caressed his face… no, it seemed to be Su Xiaoxiao fanning him.
Zhao Rong turned his head to look at Su Xiaoxiao, who sat by his side, cocking her head to listen to the other visitors' idle chat in the pavilion while she gripped the handle of a silk fan, providing him with a breeze.
She managed both tasks without issue.
Zhao Rong and his companions had arrived in Luojing City in the morning, finding they had ample time, the three of them decided not to linger and headed straight on their way. Here at a pavilion a few miles outside of Luojing named Zuiweng Pavilion, they decided to rest for a bit to escape the scorching midday summer heat, and Zhao Rong took a brief nap.
Zhao Rong stretched languidly in his chair inside the pavilion, leaning lazily against a pillar as his gaze casually swept over the interior of the pavilion.
