July 7th, 11:35 AM, Old Jingmai District.
Bai Zini and You Minglu walked shoulder to shoulder down the street, their paces synchronized. From a distance, You Minglu was slightly taller, but so slender she resembled a bamboo pole.
Beyond that, their styles contrasted sharply.
The former sported a high ponytail, wore a women's denim jacket, and wide-sleeved pants;
the latter donned a woolen hat, with bangs almost concealing her eyes, and with her pale complexion, she appeared particularly gloomy. Even in the midst of summer, she wrapped herself up tightly, hands hidden in the sleeves of her dress, not a bit of skin exposed.
Bai Zini took a quick sideways glance at You Minglu, who detected it and feigned indifference as she looked away.
