Xie Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then reacted and immediately strode towards the door.
When passing him, her wrist was caught again. Thinking he was teasing her again, Xie Wanqing was about to burst into curses, but suddenly a heavy coat wrapped around her shoulders.
Lu Ziyuan reached out to fasten the cloak's tie and helped her put on the hat, meticulously covering her from head to toe. Finally, he took off the white jade from her waist and tied it to himself, exchanging it with the black jade from his own waist.
After this, he gave her a light smile and said, "New Year's gift."
Between them, there was always an exchange of gifts every year, without exception over the years.
Xie Wanqing gave a final glance at her jade pendant before turning and leaving briskly.
Lu Ziyuan did not see her off; in the softly lit room, he stood still, quietly watching her departing figure.
