"Are you cold?"

It had been almost one hour of a boat ride, and the night was getting darker and cooler around them.

The red lanterns that were hung outside of the shop houses were all lit up; giving a beautiful tiny golden light along the riverside.

Shao Yan shook her head and then continued eating her dumpling soup. She had put on her own green jacket, but Li Xiqing was still worried that she would be cold.

He noticed that in the past hour, there were several boats that would row past them. Their boats would pass each other by slowly, but the water would still splash over a little.

Li Xiqing then decided to take his jacket off. He walked over to her side, and then spread the jacket over her lap, "Cover your legs with this for now, so you don't get too cold."

And after he finished saying that, he walked back to his seat across from her.
