Chapter 279
After leaving from her clinic, Sun Xiaomeng had been walking for a while before she lowered her head and realized that she was only wearing the white gown outside, because she left hastily and forgot her coat . The wind was blowing hard and her white gown was stuck close on her body . It was so chilly that she felt like her whole body was being poked by numerous needles .
She buttoned up the white gown, but it was useless, because white gown wasn’t designed to shield off the cold .
Should I go back and grab my coat?
She hesitated for a few seconds . She turned around and found that she had walked over 50 meters away from her clinic, making it troublesome to go back and forth .
Most importantly, the automotive part shops near her clinic were starting to open up shop . The bosses and employees wearing dirty uniforms were pulling up the shelter doors for their business today . Their stares made her uncomfortable, for she had heard them whisper behind her oftentimes . If she went back to the clinic to grab her coat, she would have to suffer even more uncomfortable staring .
Forget it . She decided to walk faster, hoping she would feel warmer .
The rising sunrays made her plain black hair look like the popular mix of flaxen and claret, and she seemed more fashionable .
Unlike what she expected, she felt even colder, probably because she was walking against the wind .
She recalled that when Zhang Zian entered the clinic, he took off his coat . He wore so little, only a jacket and a leisure shirt, and he didn't seem cold . Sun Xiaomeng wore a sweater inside her white gown, but she was really freezing .
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers was heard from the left side across the road, so she and other pedestrians stopped and looked in that direction .
It was a small restaurant opening for business, and they were burning non-smoking electronic firecrackers . Sun Xiaomeng remember that that site had belonged to a fruit store before . She hadn't noticed it for a while, and as it turned out, the store had been transferred . It didn't matter anyway . She didn't like eating in small restaurants because she thought they had poor hygiene . She usually bought lunch boxes from supermarkets and reheated them in microwaves . Though lunch boxes were not necessarily delicious, at least they were clean .
There were few customers at the new restaurant, which was understandable, because it was too early for meals .
Sun Xiaomeng walked faster because she could see the Amazing Fate Pet Shop . She was dashing towards it so that she could escape from the cold wind .
Just then, two vehicles stopped at the gate of the pet shop, and a few men got down from the vehicles . Among these men, she recognized one was Guo Dongyue, mainly from his iconic ponytail .
Seeing that the shutter door of the pet shop was still closed, Guo Dongyue was confused . He walked towards the gate and saw it was indeed locked . He frowned and sensed that something was wrong . He took out his cellphone to make a call .
"Hey!" Sun Xiaomeng shouted .
But the men were talking loudly and Guo Dongyue didn't hear her shouting, or he had heard it but wasn't sure she was talking to him .
Sun Xiaomeng remembered that she didn't have Guo Dongyue’s phone number, or else she could have called him . She trotted and shouted again, "Hey, Guo Dongyue!"
Guo Dongyue heard the shouting this time, and he looked where the sound came from and recognized her .
She raised her hand and waved, hoping he could see the keys in her hand and would understand that she was going to open the door for him .
Guo Dongyue understood . He put down his phone and said something to other men .
They talked and then pulled out all kinds of renovation tools from the vehicles .
