The two kids instantly wilted; it was indeed dark outside.
Though they now knew how to tell time, in some ways, they were still children.
It was dark, and it was indeed time for bed.
Unaware that winter evenings in Capital City grew dark early.
Yun Xiaoxiao, having watched them the entire time, helplessly glanced at Zhao Tianlei, "Da Bao and Xiao Bao are worried about me."
"Wife, I’m worried too," he said.
"I’ll go get some hot water for you to soak your feet, and also wash your face and body. You got your clothes wet from the fever last night."
It wasn’t possible for his wife to take a bath at this time.
But his wife liked to be clean.
What else could Yun Xiaoxiao say?
There was a man with a notable presence.
But after that wash, he indeed felt much more comfortable.
"Wife, I’ll warm up the bed for you."
That wasn’t necessary.
We were sleeping on a heated brick bed.
Could anyone stop someone’s desire to warm up the bed?
Tan Yunrou, for two consecutive weeks, had run into Qian Fangfang, much to her dismay.
Was this person stuck to her now?
Was it shopping last time?
And shopping again this time?
"Xiao Rou, let’s go watch a movie? I heard they’re showing a film from Hong Kong at the cinema?"
Don’t you have anyone to go to the movies with?
Are you specifically coming to our school to catch me?
"Xiao Rou, who is this?" This time when Tan Yunrou stepped out, she was not alone; Tian Xiaoli was with her but did not recognize Qian Fangfang, so she asked Tan Yunrou who this person was.
Qian Fangfang, acting as if she were an old friend, said, "Hello, I’m Xiao Rou’s cousin."
But she had seen Xiao Rou’s cousin last time, who was much taller than this comrade here.
"Xiao Li, this is my uncle’s niece," Yun Rou introduced Qian Fangfang.
"Fangfang, we’re not going to the movies."
Not going to the movies?
So where are you going?
Are you going to meet Zhao Tianlei?
How can I miss this chance?
"Then where are you guys going? Can I join you?" Although Qian Fangfang asked in an inquiring tone, her eyes stayed on Tan Yunrou, full of expectation.
Seeing Tan Yunrou slightly troubled, Tian Xiaoli said with a smile, "Of course, you can. Isn’t that right, Xiao Rou?"
What else could Tan Yunrou say at that moment?
Xiao Li had already agreed on behalf of Qian Fangfang.
Could she still refuse?
The first stop was directly at the accessory store.
Even though there was another accessory store not far from it, anyone with eyes could see which store had better-looking stuff.
This, in turn, made Yun Xiaoxiao’s accessory store even more famous; the sales increased, and although each item had a fixed price, no bargaining was allowed, but the gifts varied with purchases of five, ten, twenty, thirty yuan.
"I heard they just got a new lipstick; it’s really pretty."
"I don’t know about that; we’ll find out in a bit."
Qian Fangfang and the other two entered the accessory store, where Yun Xiaoxiao was present because the translation work had paused temporarily.
Zhao Xinxin was also in the store.
And the store had just received a new batch of goods.
"Welcome to make your selection..."
Qian Fangfang genuinely didn’t know this accessory store, but the items inside were especially good-looking.
Such items shouldn’t yet be available in their Capital City, should they?
"Where did these goods come from?"
Could it be that someone else had also been reborn?
Otherwise, how could she see some styles that would only appear years later?
"We sourced these goods from Hong Kong," Tan Yunrou explained as she came over to serve the customers, seeing an unfamiliar woman beside her and not knowing if she was a classmate or who she might be.
The first time Yun Xiaoxiao saw Tan Yunrou, she was a bit surprised and shocked.
