Shen Xiaoxiao got out of bed quickly, put on her clothes, and hurriedly went into the bathroom without even tidying her slightly messy hair.
In the bathroom, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly completed a series of washing and grooming actions.
When she looked up at herself in the mirror, she was startled by her reflection.
In the mirror, her complexion was rosy, like a newly blossoming peach blossom, delicate and beautiful.
It was a healthy glow that no cosmetic could describe. I rested well overnight and was no longer tired from arriving in Kyoto.
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, then quickly walked out of the room and into the main hall.
Inside the main room, Shen Xiaochuan was sitting at the dining table, holding a steaming hot bun in his hand, about to put it in his mouth.
Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao come out, he hurriedly urged, "The buns will get cold soon, come and eat them quickly."
As Shen Xiaochuan chewed on the steamed bun, he praised it highly: "These steamed buns are absolutely delicious! The skin is thin and the filling is plentiful. When you take a bite, the aroma of meat fills your mouth, leaving you wanting more!"
Seeing her brother's reaction, Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Does it have to be this exaggerated?"
As Dai Xingyun watched Shen Xiaoxiao sit down, he casually took a steamed bun from his bag and steadily handed it to her.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the steaming bun in Dai Xingyun's hand, took it, carefully put it in her mouth, and took a gentle bite. Instantly, the rich aroma bloomed on her taste buds.
Her eyes narrowed like crescent moons, a satisfied smile spreading across her face, and she murmured, "Delicious!"
Seeing this, Dai Xingyun's lips curved upwards even more, revealing a big smile, and she said gently, "I bought a lot, eat more if you think it's delicious."
After breakfast, Shen Xiaochuan stood up contentedly, greeted the two of them, and hurriedly went out the door.
He was going to ask his comrades for help to figure out a way to catch the human trafficker's accomplice.
Dai Xingyun stayed behind and strolled around the streets with Shen Xiaoxiao, leisurely looking for something to buy.
As they walked, Dai Xingyun suddenly stopped, pointed to a magnificent building not far ahead, and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, "Go past here, and you'll find Peking University, where we'll be studying soon. Would you like to go take a look?"
After saying that, he gently took Shen Xiaoxiao's hand, looked at her expectantly, and waited for her answer.
"Go out from here? That should be pretty close to where we're staying," Shen Xiaoxiao said, tilting her head slightly to the side and looking in the direction Dai Xingyun was pointing.
Dai Xingyun looked at her with a serious expression and patiently replied, "Yes, it's not far, only about ten minutes' walk at most. Besides, the campus of Peking University is quite beautiful. Would you like to take a stroll around?"
Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's forget about it. At this time, school hasn't started yet, and the school gates are definitely closed."
"We probably can't go in, so let's go browse the department stores and Friendship Store and see if we can buy some things we need. Do they have foreign exchange certificates?"
Dai Xingyun patted his pocket. "I knew you'd be buying things when you came. I exchanged a lot of foreign exchange certificates with my friends, so buy whatever you want."
"Let's hurry up and set off. I can't wait to see what Friendship Store has to offer," Shen Xiaoxiao said, pulling Dai Xingyun along as they walked forward.
Dai Xingyun smiled and let Shen Xiaoxiao pull him along: "Okay, let's head towards the Friendship Store! This road is actually quite short, it only takes about twenty minutes to walk there. Also, on the way to the Friendship Store, we'll pass a supply and marketing cooperative, do you want to go in and take a look?"
As Shen Xiaoxiao listened to Dai Xingyun's introduction, she curiously observed her surroundings.
She wasn't very familiar with the place, so Dai Xingyun's explanation gave her a deeper understanding of the surroundings.
Hearing Dai Xingyun's question, he shook his head. "I won't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll go to the Friendship Store first. On the way back, I'll pass by the supply and marketing cooperative anyway, so I'll go in and see if there's anything I want to buy."
The two chatted as they walked, and just as Shen Xiaoxiao was immersed in Dai Xingyun's words, she suddenly sensed an unusual aura.
Her intuition told her that it seemed as if a pair of eyes were silently watching her.
The feeling of being secretly watched made her heart tighten, and a strange sense of vigilance welled up inside her.
Before Shen Xiaoxiao could turn around to confirm, Dai Xingyun seemed to have sensed something, and he quickly reached out and tightly grabbed Shen Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Don't turn around!" Dai Xingyun's voice was low and serious, revealing a hint of tension. "Someone is following us."
Shen Xiaoxin felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't show much panic.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, then replied softly, "Okay, I understand."
At the same time, as if by magic, a packet of sleeping pills appeared in her hand, which she held tightly in her grasp.
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Dai Xingyun said gently.
Shen Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Dai Xingyun's.
She gazed into his eyes, which now revealed unwavering determination and tenderness.
“With you here, I’m not worried,” Shen Xiaoxiao said, a big smile spreading across her face.
After saying that, she gently placed what she was holding tightly in her hand into Dai Xingyun's hand.
It was a small bottle containing some powdery substance.
The two talked as they slowly walked into a quiet alley.
The place was dimly lit, and there was an old, worn atmosphere about it.
“This contains a sleeping potion,” Shen Xiaoxiao said in a low voice. “We’ll find a way to use it to knock out the people who are following us.”
However, just as they were preparing to implement their plan, an unexpected situation occurred.
A series of hurried footsteps approached from afar. Immediately afterwards, a plump middle-aged woman wearing a red armband walked briskly over.
"What are you two doing?" the middle-aged woman roared angrily. "I've been following you for a long time. Pulling and shoving each other in public, what kind of behavior is this! It's simply indecent assault!"
Upon hearing the older woman's words, Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her heart filled with doubt.
She stared at the older woman and asked in a somewhat stiff tone, "Have you been following us the whole way?"
The older woman seemed completely unconcerned about Shen Xiaoxiao's questioning. She put her hands on her hips and showed a hint of disdain on her face.
Without mincing words, she replied, "Of course! I saw you two holding hands right down the street, behaving so intimately. You two are utterly shameless! I don't know what your parents taught you!"
