Su Rong changed her clothes quickly, taking no longer than a couple of tea breaks, before returning.
Zhou Gu had assumed that she would change into men's attire. But to his surprise, she just swapped her elaborate dress for a simple one. She removed her vermillion hairpin, replacing it with a single hairpin that held up her long hair. This look seemed to give her an air of efficiency than the earlier graceful, maiden-like presentation.
He asked, "What's the difference between your previous outfit and this one?"
"Of course, there's a difference. This one is better suited for scaling walls. The previous one wasn't as convenient for that," she replied.
Zhou Gu was speechless.
"Let's go." Su Rong placed a finger over her lips, making a shushing gesture. She softly whispered, "From this moment on, don't say a word, just follow me."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He really didn't know what to say about this display of unease amid mischief.
