Chapter 31 Encounter in the Mall

The home of Lan's brother and sister is near the business district, so after walking for a while and turning a few more turns, we come to the side of a big road, diagonally opposite to a well-known shopping mall in the city. There are various snack and fast food restaurants near the mall, and the restaurant where we got together yesterday is also on this road.

The vehicle on the road was driving, and it was finally waiting for the green light. Blue Taro grabbed her wrist and began to cross the road until it passed.

The two stood in the surging flow of people and walked slowly towards the mall, with different strangers hurried by. Although it is still bright, the prosperous business district has already been lit. There are all kinds of advertisements posted outside the store, with a considerable flow of people every day, and every day is like a grand festival.

"Big brother, buy flowers for your sister! It's only 9.9 yuan!" A little girl selling roses broke the silence between them.

Mancao here subconsciously glanced at the blue taro that was still stunned. Seeing that he had no intention to explain, she said, "I'm not with him..."

The blue taro over there has taken out ten yuan to pick a flower from her and handed it to Mancao. "Take it," he looked at the little girl who was happily away, "so that she can go back earlier."

She took it scornfully and lowered her head and turned to the flower in her hand. "Thank you for the flower. I'll return the money to you another day."

"No," he glanced at her. "I'm just holding this flower and it's useless. I think it's a pity to lose it. It's better to give it to you as a girl."

She stopped talking, and the two came to the mall. She felt that her eyes were not clear because she looked too much at the rose in her hand, so she saw a familiar figure walking into the mall in the crowd.

She subconsciously chased after it, pushed the revolving door of the mall and entered it. Looking around for the figure, he followed him to the elevator.

Although Blue taro didn't know what had happened, he followed and got on the elevator with her.

The man turned around, and Mancao hurriedly hid behind the blue taro and almost fell down the elevator steps.

"Be careful!" The blue taro took her hand.

Mancao hid behind him and secretly observed the people standing on the elevator. She was like acting in a police film, hiding and following the man all the way.

The man didn't seem to have any intention of going upstairs. He stayed on this floor and began to look at men's clothing.

"Sir, are you going to buy it as a gift?" The salesgirl hurried over to greet the guests.

"Well, it's for... my son." The man paused and seemed to be not familiar with the young man's clothes. "He is 20 years old. What kind of gift is more suitable?"

"Sir, please come here. This is a style that is very popular with young people nowadays." The salesgirl began to sell clothes.

And the two hid in another store and secretly watched through a row of clothes.

The saleswoman in this store looked at the rose in Mancao's hand and patted her on the shoulder, "Beauty, are you here to buy clothes for your boyfriend?"

"...Let's just look around." When the grass saw the target moving, it also moved over.

She lay on the wall and saw that the target was queuing up to pay...

She came to the store the target had just been to and looked at all the signs of the clothes he was looking at...

... What a good father who is luxurious and generous to his son.

...But what does it have to do with her?

She put down the sign. Lan Yu looked in the direction of the man and found that the man was coming this way. He immediately pulled the girl out of the store from the other direction.

The man came back with the list, stood in front of the counter for a while, picked up his clothes bag and was ready to go downstairs.

She is hesitating. Do you want to keep up this time?

Blue taro thought she would follow, but she stood still, "Don't you follow?"

"Even if I follow it, what can I do?" What on earth is her voyeurism?

You can only look at it from afar, and nothing can be changed.

It's better to see nothing and know nothing.

Blue taro once heard Blueberry talk about her, so he probably knew who the middle-aged man was.

"...I'll take you to a small restaurant. The food there is delicious!" As Lan taro said this, he took her hand, went downstairs and went out of the mall.

As soon as she got out of the mall, the hot wind that warmed her face was paralyzed.

It's like a refrigerator in the mall, and a sauna outside the mall...

She was pulled to the back of the mall, crossed the streets and alleys... and finally came to an uninhabited path.

He pointed to a small restaurant with an old sign not far away, "That's that one! It's delicious and clean and affordable!"

Blue taro opened the glass door, and the cool air conditioning wind came towards it. Although the store is not big, it is full of people. They can only squeeze in front of the small table next to the counter... There is no room in the store at all.

Mancao unfortunately saw the familiar figure in the store. She asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "Is the owner of this store a beautiful woman?" Then she took a son who was born with heart disease?

Lan Yi was stunned and replied in the voice of only two people, "It's indeed a mother and son... But I don't know if my son has a heart attack."

She seems to have accidentally come to something extraordinary.

The thin woman with black hair and shoulders came out with a tray and served to some guests.

There are familiar figures around people who seem to be regular customers. It seems that they have been pursuing for so long that they have agreed... a kind of words.

Then the woman came to the table of grass and blue taro with a shy face, waiting for them to order.

The woman looked at the girl in front of her who was covering her face with a menu, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.

Lan taro looked at the girl holding the menu and knew that she could not speak. He turned his head and said to his aunt with a smile, "Auntie, let's have three beef rice! One of them needs to be packed!"

The woman smiled and said, "Do you want to bring food back to your sister again?" Then she shouted to the inner room and went back to the kitchen.

It took a long time for the two people's beef rice to come.

She has always dared to show her eyes outside, watching the guy with the same hairstyle as when she was a child move over with a tray. She is like sitting on pins and felt.

After Blue Taro and the other party greeted each other, the other party kept staring at the guy who buried his face in the menu.

The grass hidden under the menu almost didn't hold its breath. For so long, I didn't hear his footsteps back.

"He's gone..." Lan taro patted her head and came to her side and said.

She breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to show her face, the guy who was about to enter the kitchen suddenly turned around, and she withdrew to the menu.

What's the reason for her appearance as a thief?

She remembered what she had done to this guy when she was a child, and a sense of guilt arose.
