Provincial City is called Lv City for a reason. Even during the hottest part of a summer day, pedestrians walking on the streets don't have to worry about being scorched to jerky.
Thanks to the tall plane trees lining the roads, their grey-white trunks have stood erect for many years, their roots dug deep into the soil below. The large, dark green leaves sway grandly, casting such a shade over the sidewalks that hardly any sunlight can reach the ground beneath.
Xu Xiaoyan and Yan Fei are walking on such a sidewalk right now, the young woman deliberately keeping a bit of distance from her beloved, as his increasing presumptuousness has made her constantly vigilant.
Vigilant as she may be, deep down she cannot muster even a sliver of irritation. Each time she thinks of her beloved's infatuation with her, she feels a twinge of bashful joy amidst her shyness.
