Ye Xingguang wandered around the duty-free shop, unsure of what gift to buy. As a safe choice, she bought a watch.
After purchasing it, her shopping impulse kicked in, and she continued to shop. She bought a piece of clothing and some skincare products for her mom. For her dad, she bought a belt and several coats. For her neighbor, Mrs. Shen, she bought an eye cream. And for Uncle Li, Grandpa Zhuo, Aunt Ye from the island...
While others have numerous aunts and uncles, she might not have as many relatives, but she did have lots of neighbors – all the islanders were like one big family. She bought gifts for them all, believing she should reciprocate the elders with presents from her first month's salary.
Even though she hadn't received her paycheck yet, she could definitely splurge a bit in advance.
By the time she finished shopping, night had fallen. Ye Xingguang had dinner outside and then returned to her hotel villa carrying bags of various sizes.
