Xiao Jingkong was finally thoroughly satisfied, covered his little face, and dashed back to the room to find a gauze scarf.

Gu Jiao walked through the front yard into the main hall, intending to return to the west room, when she raised her eyes to see that the door of the Study Room was wide open. Inside, a lamp was lit, and Xiao Liulang was immersed in intense reading beneath it.

The door to the Study Room was not usually left so open, especially not when Xiao Liulang was reading.

From the door frame to the threshold, every inch seemed to silently emit an aura of "come in, come in."

The Study Room was as tidy and clean as ever. Facing the door was Xiao Liulang's desk, which now, often used by Xiao Jingkong as well, had half its space occupied by Xiao Jingkong's books and writing materials.

On the other half of the desk, distinctly belonging to Xiao Liulang's side, there sat an exquisitely crafted wooden brocade box.
