Gu Xiaoer chose a pair of slim black pants today, with a simple black fitted sweater underneath, topped with a knee-length black trench coat.
The all-black outfit accentuated her makeup-free face, making it appear even more fair and translucent, her delicate and refined features concealing an ineffable sadness.
Today is her mother's death anniversary, and also her birthday...
After tidying up everything, Gu Xiaoer went downstairs, and the man was already waiting for her at the dining table.
The man, a child with splendid future prospects, was still wearing the apron from home, leaning against the dining room door frame, his deep dark eyes sizing her up and down.
Today, Gu Xiaoer possessed a different kind of allure and charm, perhaps due to that restrained and melancholy aura, making her appear considerably different from usual.
This was the first time he accompanied her on this uniquely significant day.
