Qian Sisi, like any woman who has just returned from a shopping spree, showed off her spoils as soon as she got home. She eagerly lined up the boxes she had bought and introduced each item to Bai Cheng'an, from bed linens and clothes to socks and underwear, including holiday decorations like New Year paintings and small lanterns. If Bai Cheng'an could think of it, she probably had bought it.
Qian Sisi felt everything was novel. Though the New Year came every year, this New Year felt like her first. Everything seemed different somehow, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what had changed.
The shopping had been done before, with Miao Peiqin at supermarkets and malls last year too.
