Zhang Mei walked with the group toward the cinema, soaking in the lively atmosphere of the mall. The excitement of a day out with friends brought a rare smile to her face. As they reached the entertainment area, Xu Zhonhao generously declared, "Don't worry, guys, it's on me."
Tang Ziyi, always the playful one, chimed in, "Brother Zhonhao, you are the best! You will get us some snacks as well, right?" Xu Zhonhao chuckled, "Hey, don't push it." Laughter echoed as they shared a light moment, and Li Chen, ever the gentleman, offered, "I'll buy the snacks."
Tang Ziyi cheered, "Great!" Zhang Mei couldn't help but marvel at the warmth of companionship, a comforting contrast to the heavy burdens she carried. Today, she was grateful for these newfound friends who unknowingly eased the weight on her shoulders.
