"Mom, I want to go to the mall to buy some clothes. Will you come with me?" Early Sunday morning, before breakfast was even finished, Zhou Xinyao leaned against the door and asked. She had already planned it out; she'd cheer up her mom today and take the chance to plead on behalf of her dad. Then, she could secure a new project to work on—truly a worthwhile trade.
"The weather isn't good today, what's the point of shopping?" Shao Meiru replied rather reluctantly, without a smile on her face.
Zhou Xinyao stuck her head out to look outside the window. Although it hadn't started raining yet, it was indeed cloudy, but nobody really knew when the rain would come.
"No worries, we'll drive, so we won't get wet." She sat down beside Shao Meiru, "Dad's meeting Uncle Lu for a game today as well. If it rains, they won't go either."
