Xiao Youlan stepped into the room with a steady gait. His face was like fine jade, his eyes calm and distant. He wore a frost-colored robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves, cinched by a gold-threaded jade belt. A jade pendant hung from his right side, and his hair was meticulously secured within a gold-inlaid lotus crown.
Nan Xueyin pondered. When they had eaten lunch together earlier, he had certainly not been dressed like this. It finally dawned on her that when Xiao Youlan had stood up and left so abruptly, it was to go and groom himself. No wonder he had taken so long to return; choosing his clothes, changing, and styling his hair must have taken a great deal of effort and time.
The result, however, was undeniably striking. Xiao Youlan was already exceptionally handsome, but now, meticulously groomed, he appeared even more refined and elegant, like an immortal descended from the heavens. Nan Xueyin watched him, unable to tear her gaze away for a long moment.
