Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

The third floor, though advertised as a shopping mall, only houses three businesses: a supermarket, a clothing store, and a barbershop. With no patients or staff, it seems remarkably deserted. Even the warm orange filter can't dispel the third floor's chilly silence.

Although Shen Jin watched the entire process and seemingly didn't exert any effort, Xiaomei's energy came from her body. Although she didn't hit Zhao You personally, she had no problem seriously damaging his vitality.

Look, haven’t the two of them booked the entire place?

Shen Jin was the first to walk into the supermarket.

The most traditional glass sliding door has a bright red word "Fu" pasted above the door handle.

The interior decoration didn't match the supermarket's exterior. The walls were a grayish-white cement-pasted surface, its rough texture visible. The metal dividers on the shelves were rusted, their mottled dark yellow color adorning the metal shelves, making them look like antiques from decades ago.

Perhaps Zhao You’s energy was not enough to support the disguise. This supermarket was small, dark, and rotten, and you could smell the scent of moldy wood.

An old shop.

Xiaomei stood quietly at the counter, her fingertips resting on the dusty abacus.

She cares more about the location of the counter than the environment inside the supermarket.

The table top is covered with a piece of blue-green glass. Through the glass, you can vaguely see the grain of the wooden table underneath, as well as the cash and waste paper crookedly stuffed into the gap between the glass and the table top.

Shen Jin leaned against the shelf, looking at Xiaomei and lost in memories.

She stiffly opened the leather chair, creaking as it opened, and sat down, her hands habitually resting on the abacus.

Xiaomei seemed a little confused. It was obvious that her thoughts had not yet caught up with the rhythm of her body. She sat down instinctively before thinking.

The abacus beads returned to their matte black color because of her touch, but Xiaomei's fingertips were stained with too much dust, covering the original white color.

"Snapped."

Xiaomei lightly moved the abacus, and a crisp sound of collision was heard.

At the same time, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Shen Jin, or more accurately, at the shelf behind Shen Jin. Through Shen Jin's actions, she recalled someone from the old days.

The world spun, and the halo expanded to its maximum. A blinding white light enveloped the entire supermarket, forcibly expelling the orange filter.

When Shen Jin opened his eyes again, he found that he had moved to another place.

That's not the case. She's still in this supermarket, but it's a supermarket that was once open for business. It belongs to the past timeline and also to Xiaomei's memories.

Xiaomei was dozing behind the counter, the lazy afternoon sun kissing her face. Her braids fell to her midriff, and she wore two bright red silk flowers.

Her face was still a little childish, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her facial features were far less delicate than the Xiaomei that Shen Jin knew.

But the Xiaomei in front of him was just sleeping, but he could feel the bright vitality emanating from her body.

"Little boss, are you taking a nap?"

An old man in a vest walked in, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan: "Give me two packs of cigarettes. They cost five yuan today."

The old man smiled and woke Xiaomei up with a palm-leaf fan.

Xiaomei's memory was a little fuzzy. When she heard the old man's question, she just stood up and stood there stiffly.

"Hey, are you confused because of sleep?"

The old man was cheerful and repeated his request. Xiaomei was a little overwhelmed. She felt that everything here was familiar, but the environment was so bright that she didn't know what to do.

She seemed to be really confused in her sleep and didn't even know which cigarette cost five yuan.

"Look, it's right behind you. It has a picture of two birds on it."

Shen Jin emerged from the darkness, also standing behind the counter, and helped Xiaomei take out cigarettes.

After the old man paid and left, Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Jin: "Oh, I was completely sleepy. Thank you so much!"

"What's your name? Why are you here suddenly?"

Shen Jin looked at Xiaomei's curious eyes and shook his head helplessly. Okay, one of them has lost his memory.

But Shen Jin didn't show any signs of panic or nervousness. She slowly walked around to the opposite side of Xiaomei and leaned against the glass.

Xiaomei wiped this glass so clean that it could be used as a mirror.

She said, "Little boss, where is your father?"

Xiaomei fell silent again.

It seems that she has no memory of adults, or adults are insignificant to her.

So Shen Jin asked again: "Give me a pencil."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Xiaomei didn't know why she was distracted again, so she quickly turned around, took out a pencil and handed it over.

"A dollar."

Shen Jin took it and said as a matter of course: "I don't have any money, I will work for you to pay off the debt."

Xiaomei quickly refused: "No, no, a pencil is enough for you."

"Yes, I'm not someone who takes advantage of others."

"Really? This pencil only costs a few cents."

……

After some tug-of-war, Shen Jin finally became a supermarket loader.

The reason was that Xiaomei saw her lift the cooking wine jar at calf height with one hand.

"My salary here isn't high, only 500 a month, but it includes food and lodging."

"no problem."

……

As the days passed, Xiaomei became more and more integrated into the role of a small boss and managed the store in an orderly manner.

Shen Jin worked diligently as a salesperson. Although she looked small, she was incredibly strong. Xiaomei loved and feared her, always feeling that she could be crushed with one punch.

But she also found her thoughts incomprehensible. How could Shen Jin, such a gentle person, beat someone up?

She seemed to have truly forgotten her painful experience in the hospital.

But what is bound to happen will happen.

It was a summer night, and the bright moonlight illuminated a corner of the supermarket.

There was a loud bang, followed by the sound of broken glass all over the floor, and two strong men jumped into the supermarket in the dark.

Shen Jin sighed a little when he saw Xiaomei standing up beside him.

She picked up the kitchen hatchet, held it to her chest, and walked out.

Behind the store is the room where she sleeps.

But Xiaomei seemed to have completely forgotten Shen Jin's existence. She was once again caught up in the past, a story that was destined to happen.

"Put down what you're holding and get out of here! I'm going to call the police!"

"Oh, there's a little girl here, Brother Zhao, it's worth it."

The leader was only wearing a black sweatshirt, and a scar could be seen on his bare chest, winding down until it was covered by his clothes.

"How old are you? I don't mess with minors."

Brother Zhao changed the subject: "But it looks good, it's not impossible to raise it."

Xiaomei was frightened and held the hatchet tightly. However, this store was everything to her.

Thinking of this, she shouted: "It's on fire, put it out!"

Then he suddenly picked up the hatchet and chopped at the two men.

"Oh, that's pretty hot. Brother Zhao is kind to women, but I, Xiao Zhao, am best at beating women!"

Xiao Zhao also picked up a wine bottle from the shelf and started fighting with Xiao Mei.

There was another sound of shelves collapsing.

Xiaomei was exhausted and worried about the goods, so Xiaozhao took advantage of her opportunity and the beer bottle broke directly on her forehead.

Blood flowed down in a winding manner.

Her vision began to go dark, and before she fainted, she could only see two hideous and twisted smiling faces approaching her.
