Yao Ziyan clearly remembered the first time she had encountered Frost.
It had been a night as black as ink, with the dim twilight hanging over the world like an inky fog that could never disperse. It was then that the tiny figure in a black robe had knocked on Origin Mall's door.
Whenever Yao Ziyan thought back on it, a trace of regret always rose in her heart.
She regretted telling Frost that Origin Mall was closed at night and asking her to come back the next day. She regretted not simply letting Frost into the shop. She had no idea how Frost had managed to get through that rainy night.
When she opened the doors the next day, Yao Ziyan saw Frost still standing outside. Perhaps she had spent the entire night alone in the alley.
Perhaps Qing Yuan had been right—Yao Ziyan truly was a gentle person.
"Big Sister, what are you thinking about?" Yao Ziyue waved a hand before Yao Ziyan.

"Going out?" Yao Ziyue blinked.
"I'm a shop assistant. Do you expect me to play games with you during business hours?" Yao Ziyan laughed lightly and tapped Yao Ziyue's forehead.
Yao Ziyue took two steps back, dodging Yao Ziyan's finger, and muttered under her breath, "Wasn't that how it used to be...?"
"What did you say?" Yao Ziyan had not heard her clearly.
"I didn't say anything." Yao Ziyue shook her head repeatedly, pushing Yao Ziyan toward the exit. "All right, all right, Big Sister, go get busy. I'm going to use the holographic equipment."
"Stop pushing me. I can walk by myself..."
After leaving the Weapon Vending Space, Origin Mall appeared before Yao Ziyan
