Cai Anqi looked like she was about to cry. Ning Shu said, “It’s fine. Just go back and wash it with water.”


  “How can I wash my shoes with water? These shoes need to be sent to a specialty store for them to get cleaned. Do you know how expensive that would be?” Cai Anqi roared loudly, attracting the attention of the people around her.

  Cai Anqi pursed her lips tightly in anger. Her face had turned completely red, and her smudged eyeliner and mascara made her look like she had panda eyes. Even her false eyelashes were peeling off and sticking out awkwardly.

  “How long is this going to take?” Cai Anqi angrily questioned Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu calmly picked up the fish flopping on the ground and had the shopkeeper weigh the fish. She then proceeded to put the fish into the vegetable basket after she was done paying for it.

  The living fish kept jumping around in the vegetable basket. Cai Anqi was repulsed, and she really wanted to throw the basket away.

  But she silently comforted herself. As long as she got Wang Bo’s salary card, as long as it ended up in her hands.

  When she saw that Ning Shu was still wandering around, Cai Anqi couldn’t help but angrily ask, “You have already bought so many things. What else do you want to buy?”


  Ning Shu calmly responded, “I still have to buy some green onions.”


  Cai Anqi was so infuriated by Ning Shu, but she didn’t even have the energy to lose her temper.

  Her feet were about to be ruined from all the walking. All she wanted was to sit down, take off her heels, and let her feet rest.

  Ning Shu bought a handful of green onions and held them in her hand. She rummaged through the basket. “Let me see if there’s anything I have yet to buy. Memory truly gets worse as you grow older.”


  “Alright, it’s all here. Let’s head back,” said Ning Shu.

  Cai Anqi endured the throbbing ache on her feet and followed Ning Shu out of the market.

  There was still quite a distance to cover from the vegetable market to their neighborhood. The weight of her own body plus all kinds of things in the basket were all pressing on Cai Anqi’s feet.

  It was getting unbearably painful.

  Just the thought of having to walk all the way back scared Cai Anqi.

  Cai Anqi pitifully limped after Ning Shu. Ning Shu looked towards her and said, “Why don’t you buy more comfortable shoes? You’ve only walked a little bit, but you’re already like this.”


  “Take your shoes off and walk barefoot,” suggested Ning Shu to Cai Anqi.

  When Cai Anqi heard this, she immediately refused, “I don’t want to.”


  She would rather walk back home in pain and than embarrass herself by walking barefoot.

  Ning Shu shrugged, “Whatever you like.”


  Cai Anqi was feeling drained by the sun. Her feet hurt like crazy, and she was feeling dizzy and dry. She had never suffered so much.

  If she ever went out with this old woman again, then she would consider herself a fool.

  Cai Anqi’s feet felt extremely sore. Every step felt like needles were stabbing into her.

  Eventually, Cai Anqi had no choice but to take her off shoes and walk barefoot.

  However, it was the hottest period of the summer, and the ground was scorched by the sun to the point that eggs could be fried. Although it wasn’t as hot as at noon, it was still very hot.

  While Cai Anqi struggled to hold both her shoes and the basket in her hands, she saw Ning Shu leisurely strolling in front of her. Cai Anqi got so mad that she started to tremble all over with anger. She aggressively threw the basket on the ground and yelled out, “I won’t carry this anymore. I can’t carry it anymore.”


  For Wang Bo’s salary card, which contained only a measly amount in a month, she had to endure her beautiful skin being scorched by the sun.

  She had to follow this old woman like a maid. She seriously had enough.

  The f*ck! Look at what she was going through. It was better to go out and have fun outside. It would be much easier, and she’d even get more money from it.

  Ning Shu lifted her brows and looked at the things thrown all over the ground. She said, “What’s the matter with you? Why are you suddenly losing your temper? It’s so hot outside. Let’s go home quickly.”


  “Don’t you young people love beauty the most? Exposure to UV light makes people age ten years all at once.” As Ning Shu spoke, she picked up the things thrown on the ground and placed them back into the basket.

  “It seems like it’s hard for you to carry everything in the basket. Let me help you hold your shoes,” said Ning Shu.
