The next day, An Xiaonuan went to work as usual. After work, she took the bus home, just like she usually did.
She got off at the stop before her neighborhood, because along that stretch was the largest vegetable market around, where she stopped every day to buy groceries for dinner.
An Xiaonuan went to her regular stalls today, buying all of Huangfu Ye's favorite foods.
After leaving the market, she stopped by a flower shop to buy a bouquet of eustomas, and then continued walking.
At a junction, she waited a few seconds for the red light and crossed to the other side, where she went into a cake shop and bought two chocolate cakes.
Afterward, she didn't return to the original side of the road but kept walking along the opposite side.
When she passed a big building, she stopped, put her things down, and bent down to tie her undone shoelace.
