Features: When this novel was published, I was probably no longer in Shanghai. I must have left with a sense of parting sorrow. Because there were still thousands of young men and women in this place. They didn’t know me, and I’m afraid they didn’t even know my name. But I cared about them. I often thought of those countless innocent young minds, and I couldn’t forget them either.
"Second Miss, Mrs. Li has asked you to play cards," Qing'er said into the room with a smile. Gao Shuying was sitting in front of the window on an ebony-backed chair, reading a book intently. She looked up in surprise, gazing blankly at Qing'er for a moment before giving a faint smile, as if she hadn’t quite understood what Qing'er had said.
"Second Miss, Mrs. Li has asked you to go play cards! Auntie Wang from the Wang family has arrived," Qing'er, seeing Shuying so engrossed in her book, couldn’t help but chuckle softly and then repeated her words more loudly. She walked over to Shuying and stood beside the desk, waiting for her to respond.
