“I don‘t like that pair of shoes a lot.” Kate leaned her head against the man‘s arms while looking very
happy. “But, if you think it looks good, it must be very pretty!”
The man smiled and pinched Kate‘s nose passionately. As he lowered his head, he saw the sales
attendant patting the back of a woman squatting on the floor. He could not see her face, but her thin
body had him furrowed his brow tightly.
Kate glanced over in the direction the man was looking at Gwen, too, but she did not recognize Gwen.
She pursed her lip and stretched her hand out to cover the man‘s eyes. “Don‘t look at
another woman!”
The man smiled and looked up to the front. “Alright, you little green–eyed monster.” His deep, alluring
voice blended in with the hustles and bustles of the street.
Kate leaned in his arms happily. “Well, you shouldn‘t look so handsome, then! I‘m going to tell your
father that we should have the wedding as soon as possible, in case you‘re lured away and seduced by
other women.”
The man smiled helplessly. “Well, you‘ll have to wait until I make full recovery, right?”
“Of course.” Both of them chatted happily and disappeared into the end of the mall‘s walkway.
Gwen lost track of how long she had been squatting and crying. Once she was sure no more tears
were coming, she looked up sheepishly and thanked the sales attendant with gratitude,” Thank you.”

She smiled awkwardly and went back to the shop with the sales attendant. In the end, she bought the
shoes that she was wearing and also another pair that she picked, feeling bad about her outburst.
“You have such good taste.” The sales attendant smiled. “Ms. Miller and Mr. Hughes were here just
now. Mr. Hughes picked these shoes for Ms. Miller too, but I think these shoes match you better.”
Gwen smiled and paid for the shoes. It was already 8 p.m. when she left the mall. Gwen walked down
the street in the snowing weather with the new pair of boots she just bought. Her heart felt empty as
she gazed at the couples walking in the street.
“Did you cry?”
When Gwen returned to the hotel, Luna noticed Gwen‘s red eyes.
“I didn‘t,” Gwen answered, sniffling. She passed a bag to Luna. “I underestimated the temperature, and
the shoes I brought with me weren‘t warm enough. I walked on the street
for a long time and I was so cold that my tears fell before I finally found a shoe shop in the mall.” Luna
furrowed her brow and took a look. Gwen did change to a thicker and warmer pair of shoes. She
pursed her lips and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water for Gwen.” Was it so cold that
you had to cry?” said Luna helplessly. “And when did you start to roam
