The memory of this street was not too familiar in her mind, but it fit Flossie Wright’s needs perfectly. She discovered a food street, only picking out food that interested her, and in less than an hour, she had eaten her way through all the appealing street food from beginning to end.
However, the weather was getting colder and colder. In this season, Flossie, wearing only two layers of clothes, stood in the snow appearing particularly frail.
She rubbed her arms, glanced around, and then walked into a shopping mall with heating, temporarily escaping the cold air spreading through the city.
The crowd in the shopping mall was larger than the pedestrians on the street. Flossie, who hadn’t truly strolled through such a place in a long time, looked at the bustling shops and crowds with a hint of boredom. She then directly headed to the floor specializing in clothing, and entered the nearest shop.
"Hello, what kind of clothes are you looking to buy?"
𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Just as she walked in, a Shop Assistant greeted her, showing a politely warm smile and asked in a pleasant voice.
Flossie gave her a brief glance, not intending to elaborate, and quickly scanned the area. But before she could find a jacket that met her taste, she heard a "thud thud" noise of something hitting the floor behind her. She instinctively turned her head, and just as she lifted her hand, the flying basketball had already reached her.
Soon after, a little boy hurriedly ran over.
His somewhat anxious words were abruptly cut off.
Grady Wright, who was chasing his basketball, suddenly recognized the person who had caught his ball was Flossie when he was two meters away from her. He abruptly halted, the shadow that she had cast in his heart at noon surfaced again. The unthinkable fear made him silent, standing still and staring at Flossie.
He was clearly terrified of her, but he didn’t dare to run away just like that.
Flossie tossed the basketball in her hand without looking at him, instead looking in the direction he had run from. There was clearly an Arcade Center that had become a children’s play paradise, with all kinds of gaming equipment attracting swarms of children. As for the basketball in Flossie’s hand, it was likely accidentally thrown out by Grady in the middle of a basketball game.
"Big sis..."
Grady, who had been momentarily forgotten by Flossie, hesitated before finally speaking out, his words carrying a hint of flattery.
The sudden call provoked Flossie to look down at Grady, but there was no surprise or joy in her eyes.
Grady was obviously choosing out of desperation, as children are very calculating beings, also knowledgeable on how to protect themselves. He thought that if he could please Flossie, he would not have to face pressure from her. So, after weighing his options, he chose to submit to Flossie’s commanding aura. As for what thoughts were in his heart, probably only he himself knew.
Flossie toyed with the basketball on her fingers, showing no intention of keeping it. With a slight flick of her finger, the basketball arched through the air towards Grady, who hastily and awkwardly caught it.
Simultaneously, Grady did not linger, he turned around and ran straight out.
Grady’s running speed was a bit too quick, and just as he was rounding a corner past a pile of hanging clothes, he immediately collided with someone. With an "ah", Grady fell to the ground.
The Shop Assistant who had greeted Flossie quickly ran over. Of course, Flossie did not stay in place either, she walked forward a few steps, taking in the whole situation.
