In the early winter's overcast skies, Chi Huan left her apartment without applying makeup, wrapping a scarf around her neck and carrying a handbag filled with money.
She had bought a serving of wontons, a bowl of red date millet porridge, a portion of sushi, planning to go back to boil a couple of eggs and prepare two cups of milk. That should be about enough for two people.
After having the server pack everything up, Chi Huan headed straight back to the apartment, scarcely noticing that she was being watched the entire time.
Only when her figure had disappeared within the complex did two women, who had been following and observing her from a distance, emerge.
"Xiaoxiao, she bought so much... it really doesn't seem like an amount for one person to eat," one woman remarked.
Shen Xiao watched the direction in which Chi Huan had vanished, sneering, "In such cold weather, for Miss Chi to get up this early to buy breakfast, that man must be quite charismatic."
