Before this, the Third Miss of the Nan Family who he had seen in newspapers and on screens was very different from how she looked today, whether in dress or makeup. One could describe it as a stark contrast.
The former was a seductive beauty that most men couldn't resist, the latter was a gentle and graceful beauty, the kind that makes the other half of men feel a breeze-like heart flutter.
Two extremely opposite kinds of beauty, yet she switched between them effortlessly, without any sense of discord.
The cold wind suddenly became sharp, snapping him back to reality as his gaze awkwardly shifted downwards.
Under the orange streetlight, he vaguely saw her delicate fingers clenching tighter, gradually turning white.
Then, he heard her slightly hoarse voice, "Let's go."
If you listened carefully, perhaps you would sense that within this calm and wave-free voice line, there was a desolation that others couldn't understand.
