Upon hearing about shopping, Lin Xiuxiang's gloominess due to Jiang Ning was swept away, and she immediately agreed.
"Sure," she said.
Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang took a taxi to downtown's shopping mall where they quickly bought a few pieces of clothing they liked and planned to head to the snack street next.
During their shopping spree, Qiao Jing also bought a bag and gave it to Lin Xiuxiang as an early New Year's gift before she reluctantly accepted it.
Exiting the mall, they followed the crowd toward the direction of the snack street.
On a parking spot by the street, there was a small car, inside which sat someone they knew.
Jiang Ning, who was idly looking at the scenery outside the window, caught a glimpse of two familiar figures in the corner of her eye. She had just had a quarrel with them that morning and had a deep impression of them; she recognized Lin Xiuxiang and Qiao Jing in one glance.
