Qin Yan's eyes shone with a hint of amusement as she glanced at Xi Ting, who had a faint smile on his lips.

The streetlights flickered as they drove past, casting intermittent shadows on their faces. Qin Yan's cheeks were flushed from the chilly night air, and Xi Ting reached over to adjust the heater, making sure she was warm enough. She thanked him with a grateful smile and reached for his hand, entwining her fingers with his.
