Why Don't You Run Faster?

Li Xueyue had just entered the house when she noticed servants were speed walking down the hallway. They bowed upon seeing her, but would quickly excuse themselves. 

The corner of her lips turned upwards into a slight smile. Someone was home! She excitedly rushed down the corridors, ignoring how unladylike she behaved. She reached the front entrance in time to see Li Chenyang walking down the stone pavement leading into the Li Manor.

"Chen-ge!" she called out, stepping outside with her indoor shoes. She would probably get scolded for it but she didn't care.

"Xueyue," Li Chenyang gently called and smiled upon seeing her. He seemed visibly exhausted but still had the energy to place a warm pat upon her head.

"You look like a mess, as usual," he said and chuckled upon seeing her messy hair and crumpled training robes.
