After that he made his way to a nearby dollar store, as there were so many of them now, rivaling even the number of Mixue Ice City stores years later.
Next door, there was a street stall from which a bastard of an owner, Huang He, had run away with his mistress.
Every dollar store seemed to have the same layout, and Li Zhiyan noticed new arrivals in the storybook section.
Before long, he actually stumbled upon a storybook about the friendship between a student and a mature counselor.
He was slightly excited, and after paying two yuan, he bought the storybook.
Only then did Li Zhiyan head to school, and it wasn't long after his arrival,
he saw Han Xueying, who had just reached school, parking her electric bike.
Seeing that no one was around, Li Zhiyan quietly placed the storybook on Han Xueying's inevitable path, then watched from a distance, hoping that this heartwarming story would warm the counselor's soul and help her recover from unhappiness.
