The afternoon sun streamed through the glass ceilings of the high-end mall, casting a golden glow over the luxurious boutiques. Feng Ruoxi and Xia Xingxing walked side by side, chatting softly as they made their way through the rows of shops. The day of the banquet had finally arrived, but the event wouldn't start until later that evening. They had come to the mall to find the perfect dress for Xia Xingxing, and Feng Ruoxi was determined to treat her friend to something truly special.
"You don't have to do this, Ruoxi," Xia Xingxing said shyly as they entered one of the most expensive boutiques. "I mean, I can just wear something I already have."
"Nonsense," Feng Ruoxi replied, a smile playing at her lips. "This is a special night, and I want you to feel like the queen you are. You've been my rock through everything, and it's time for me to do something for you."
