Looking at the beautiful young woman, Gao Hui, who was happily serving her customers, Shen Qiang suddenly felt a sense of ease.
Instead of leaving the modestly decorated, tiny bun shop, he decided to stay and help her.
After the lunchtime rush had left,
Gao Hui tidied up, closed the shop, and took Shen Qiang to the food market in her tricycle. They bought a load of groceries, and Shen Qiang took the opportunity to purchase some spices and Chinese herbal medicine. He ground them into powders and made his own seasonings.
Once everything was settled,
it was already five in the afternoon.
The beautiful young woman, Gao Hui, drove her electric tricycle back home with Shen Qiang in tow.
Sitting in the back of the tricycle, Shen Qiang enjoyed the slightly cool evening breeze.
He smiled as he watched Xiu Ju driving behind them in a shiny black F3 from afar.
As the tricycle passed by a kindergarten,
Gao Hui stopped and tiptoed to sneak a peek at her young son.
