"Where are we going to buy New Year’s goods?" Ning Youguang sat in Shi Wangyue’s car, with the hood of her down jacket wrapped around her head and a black mask of the sa color on her face.
Her clear eyes looked out the car window, with a hint of wariness in her gaze.
Today, Teacher Ning is the embodint of social anxiety.
"Our car windows are tinted to prevent peeping. Take off your hood and mask and enjoy the sunshine," Shi Wangyue said helplessly.
How afraid of being watched by fans and passersby is this person?
Normally, a sun-loving individual, she managed to endure the rain and snow for weeks, and now that it’s finally sunny, she still wouldn’t show her face.
"Oh..." Ning Youguang took off her hood and mask.
She actually felt quite suffocated, but she’d feel worse if she got photographed.
"Let’s go shopping at Florence Town," Shi Wangyue suggested, "The people there are generally of higher quality."
Because they sell luxury items, not everyone goes there.
"No." Ning Youguang refused, "I don’t want to go there."
"Then where do you want to go?" Shi Wangyue laughed.
"I want to eat hot pot!" Ning Youguang had been holding it in for too long, "I want to start my perfect holiday with a hot pot al!"
Shi Wangyue chuckled, "Florence has hot pot too, we could have seafood hot pot."
"No." Ning Youguang shook her head, "The seafood hot pot there is both expensive and watered down, it’s a letdown."
—"In this cold weather, I want mutton spine hot pot, the kind that’s both fragrant and spicy."
Shi Wangyue laughed, "I have no problem with that, but you know, at this ti, any stall that serves mutton spine hot pot will definitely be packed. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Ning Youguang hesitated, "Let’s go to the supermarket instead, buy lots of fresh vegetables, at, and other essentials. We can shop online for everything else."
Saying that, she picked up her phone and started tapping away on the shopping app, "Although, it seems like we could order vegetables and at online too."
Shi Wangyue focused intently on the steering wheel, glancing at her quickly, "You can buy everything online nowadays, except sunlight and the feeling of life. That’s why I dragged you out shopping today."
Ning Youguang put down her phone, "You’re right."
She gazed out at the bustling streets and the people shining in the sunlight, "Let’s go to Florence Town, get so New Year’s gifts for everyone."
"Sure." Shi Wangyue nodded, "But what I’m most interested in is buying sothing for you."
"There’s nothing there that I want." Ning Youguang smiled.
She didn’t need clothes, shoes, bags, or jewelry.
"Let’s at least look around first." Shi Wangyue knew his sister wasn’t keen on those things.
But he figured, since it’s New Year’s, they should prepare proper outfits.
Besides, they were celebrating the New Year together this year, so he wanted everything to be perfect.
...
In the end, the two of them spent almost the entire day at Florence Town. Besides buying New Year gifts for all family and friends, each of them got several outfits for the holiday.
"I’m exhausted." Ning Youguang stood by the central garden in Florence Town, shaking her hands.
"Let’s put everything away and go eat," Shi Wangyue suggested, with nothing in his hands either.
Seeing her shaking her hands, he imdiately took her hand, gently massaging her arm.
Four security guards followed them, each carrying bags full of stuff.
"Yeah, so hungry." Ning Youguang looked at Shi Wangyue pitifully, "You bought too much." 1314
