Chen Xiaolian walked into a convenience store located within a small gas station. He casually picked up a bottle of mineral water and looked outside the window as he paid for it.
Takeuchi Mikiko was wearing her work uniform, sporting a lovable ponytail, which bounced up and down as she ran about. As she was moving about, she hummed a Japanese song that Chen Xiaolian did not recognize.
The sunlight spilled down and onto the glass; it was as though a layer of golden light was enveloping Takeuchi Mikiko’s body, creating a warm and comfortable feeling.
A relaxed expression appeared within Chen Xiaolian’s eyes and he gently exhaled. He walked out of the convenience store, unscrewed the bottle of water and took a gulp before leaving the gas station.
