Bai Xiaolan huffed her way out of the security office, no longer in the mood for the temple fair. She decided to catch a bus home.
Nearing the bus stop, she saw a bun stall by the road. She hadn't had lunch and originally planned to try some snacks after watching the comedy show, but her anger had effectively killed her appetite. Now, finally seeing some buns, she realized she was somewhat hungry.
She approached the bun stall, spent ages indecisively choosing and ultimately bought two tofu-stuffed buns. The pork and chive ones were too expensive.
Ever since Bai Xiaolan decided to go to G Province, she had quit her job at the steel company and had been at home for three months. Her savings were dwindling, and being too proud to ask her family for money, she had little left and needed to be more frugal.
With her two buns wrapped in oil-paper, Bai Xiaolan began eating by the side of the road.
