The extravagantly dressed actor on stage sang and performed, their melodious voice possessing a unique charm all its own.
Beneath the stage, only a scattering of spectators were present, among them an elder lying back relaxedly in a pear wood rocking chair carved with pear blossoms, a jade thumb ring on his thumb gleaming with a translucent light.
The old man's silver hair was combed into a slicked-back style, his wrinkled face an unnatural shade of pale. His eyes were half-closed as his fingertips tapped along with the opera on the armrest of the chair.
The "thud thud" of his tapping was rhythmic.
The soft footsteps were drowned out by the opera, and the middle-aged man standing next to the elder nodded slightly at the newcomer's approach.
"Miss."
Mo Yu, in a light green cheongsam, moved with a graceful figure, her expressions carrying a hint of sharpness.
