The town was not that big, and Gu Xiqiao took Shi Tou to circle around the place a few times. She bought a lot of things—a crutch for Aunt Liu, cigarettes for the village chief, a radio for the grandpa next door, a game console for Shi Tou... everything that you could think of, she had bought it.
It was quite late in the day for this trip, so Gu Xiqiao took Shi Tou to eat the beef noodles that he had always wanted to eat.
Just when they finished eating, a beautiful woman was making her way down the streets. She was wearing a western-style dress and her hair was dyed maroon red with wavy curls gently falling on her back. There was light but exquisite makeup on her face, and she was holding a parasol in her hands, her entire person looking very fashionable. All the heads were turning to look at her as she walked on the street.
"Gu Xiqiao?" The woman said, slowing her steps as she came to a stop, "Why are you here?"
