Jiang Yin'er felt somewhat embarrassed, "That's just a toy I made for myself, not part of any theatrical production, it's only something I like."
"Do you like masks?"
"Yes, new plays bring new appearances, but I've watched the Li River plays several times now, and it's been quite a while since I saw any new masks."
"So you do want a new mask?"
"Hm? Yes."
"Here you go." Pei Ye smiled as he presented a uniquely quaint pale-blue mask in front of the girl, its delicate patterns like scales, its cold blue reminiscent of an orchid in the mountain rain.
"..." Jiang Yin'er's eyes widened as she looked at him.
"Heh heh." Pei Ye scratched his head, "That... it's your New Year gift. Yesterday, I saw someone selling masks at the Le You Garden, and I thought you might like one, so I got a blank one to paint—You've definitely never seen this character before, it's from a Shaolong Xiangzhou script called 'The Tale of the White Snake,' it's quite a good play."
"...Thank you, Brother."
