Liu Woxing and Lai Bingxuan successfully got free samples of pumpkin bread, along with free hot water from the café.
But they were still too thin-skinned to eat much. Each took two bites before thanking the staff and leaving, promising to come back and buy something once they had money.
[Two polite little souls down on their luck.]

[How did that saying go again?]
"Thick-skinned people get to enjoy the world first."
With both hands on her hips, Xie Mi looked toward a bustling tourist attraction ahead and shot Shen Yeqing a meaningful glance. "Shall we move out?"

"Let's move out."
They hit it off instantly.
[Move out to do what? I'm asking you, what exactly are you moving out to do?]
[Wait, why are you talking in code now? What could possibly be off-limits to a distinguished subscriber like me?]
[I swear, I both love and hate how in sync you two are.]

Xu Shuangrong's group was still using the bartering approach. Since one of the three items she'd brought was a medicine kit, she'd eventually traded a bottle of insect repellent for a steamed bun
