Stop rambling about what's already gone. There was still a little left. But now it's completely gone.
Otis reached for the light switch, but Mei stopped him. "Wait a bit before turning it on!"
She felt that Otis absolutely could not see what she looked like right now.
Otis let out an "oh," turned around, and went into the room to get something.
He came out carrying a paper bag with shoes inside. Lifting it up, he said to Mei, "This is for you."
A curious expression appeared on Mei's face, but she still asked shyly, "What is it?"
Otis took out a pair of leather shoes and squatted down in front of her.
"Didn't you say your shoes didn't fit? So I bought you a pair. Try them?"
Mei looked at the shoes Otis took out, once again overwhelmed by how considerate and gentle this man was embarrassment and affection blending together. She turned her head away. "Then… help me put them on…"
Otis looked up and asked, "Why am I helping you put them on?"
