Shen Li obediently learned to dance, and Huo Siyu indeed kept his word, allowing her to meet with Suo Luo freely.
The feeling of the New Year was drawing ever closer, and every time she went out to meet with Suo Luo, they could hear the sounds of firecrackers in the streets.
The atmosphere grew increasingly festive, yet Shen Li's mood was unexpectedly heavy.
It seemed to remind her that it was nearly a year now, a year that she had been with Huo Siyu like this.
The future, what lay ahead... she had no idea at all.
"I had arranged with Suo Luo yesterday to have tea this afternoon," Shen Li said carefully, her face wearing a pleasing smile for fear that Huo Siyu would voice an objection.
She had been seeing Suo Luo frequently lately, but always when Huo Siyu was busy.
If Huo Siyu wasn't out, he was in his study working—anyway, he didn't need her company.
