Morris Jackson, smiling from the corner of his mouth, asked, "Mine?"
Lyra Smith touched her forehead, seemingly using this move to hide her awkward expression, and replied in a quiet voice, giving a rather perfunctory explanation, "That day, while I was shopping online to avail a discount deal, I happened to see a pair of slippers on sale, so I bought them."
Morris Jackson had already put on the slippers, "They fit nicely, thanks for taking advantage of the discount."
Lyra Smith: "..."
She noticed the bag he was carrying in his hand. Judging from the packaging, she knew it was delivered from the old house.
She took the initiative to take the bag from his hand.
He avoided her hand saying, "It's kind of heavy."
He walked in first, with Lyra Smith following uncomfortably behind him. She touched her ears, felt them burning, and thought, 'Oh no, my ears are going to betray me again.'
