A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

I visited Huamao Plaza once before with Liu Shiya, but we were in a rush and didn't get to explore much.

"There's one over there, let's go take a look." Jiang Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, and passersby couldn't help but glance at him.

"Little Si, with your appearance, everyone will praise you for being disabled but determined." Abu chuckled.

Jiang Yi glanced at it sideways and said, "This word is a positive term; your usage is problematic."

Li Li pushed Jiang Yi and Abu into a store side by side, and the waiter warmly guided them into the VIP area.

"We currently have these models in stock. You can take a look at the pictures, and our staff will try them on for your reference."

Jiang Yi immediately fell in love with the entire Heritage Collection 42 dial, featuring a dark brown strap with a gold bezel, full diamond edging, and a full calendar. It's perfect for everyday work wear, understated yet sophisticated.

"This." Jiang Yi took out a card without hesitation.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The shop assistant genuinely likes these straightforward customers.

"You've hidden a lot of money." Abu made the decision in the time it took to buy an ice cream, assuming that Jiang Yi must have been very selective.

Jiang Yi feigned mystery, saying, "People often end up choosing what they like at first sight."

"Looks like Liu Shiya is paying you a good salary. This watch is worth enough to buy an apartment." Abu clicked his tongue.

"New Year's money." Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow smugly. She received the most New Year's money among them every year, and she entrusted it to a professional financial advisor at the bank. Over time, she became quite wealthy.

Abu clutched his chest, looking grief-stricken, and leaned on her shoulder, feigning injury. "So it turns out I was also a cog in this machine."

Jiang Yi disgustedly pried his hands off her, saying, "This is so fake, your acting is really bad."

Jiang Yi and Abu exchanged barbs of mutual dislike when a shop assistant brought over a tray with a wrapped gift bag. "Okay, here's your card." The assistant, wearing black gloves, placed the bag in Jiang Yi's hand.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat. There's a new restaurant upstairs. It's your treat." Abu had been extorted by Jiang Yi so many times, he had to get his revenge this time.

"Okay, I'll go to the restroom first." Jiang Yi had felt the need to go to the restroom constantly since morning, even though she had already gone once at home before coming here, and she was afraid of causing trouble outside.

“Miss Jiang, let me push you.” Li Li, who hadn’t said a word, followed behind and pushed her forward.

"This way, please. Just turn right after you go out and you'll see it." The shop assistant led them out and pointed out the direction.

"Then I'll go with you. I'll wait for you outside." Abu took the things from their hands.

Li Li pushed Jiang Yi and saw the "Under Repair" sign placed at the entrance of the restroom that the clerk had mentioned. They could only look on the other side, but there was the same sign there. It wasn't until they were close to the west door that the sign disappeared.

"Who's playing a prank by bringing this out?" The cleaning lady shouted loudly. She looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious. After cleaning up the water stains in the lobby, she noticed the sign placed at the entrance of the restroom. If her supervisor saw this, he would definitely say she had neglected her duties.

"Honey, I'm at Hua Mao, do you want to come?" Abu answered a phone call, his voice becoming more magnetic as he leaned lazily against the wall and chatted.

"Mommy, look, there are so many big dolls!" A little girl led a woman's hand, pointing to a person dressed as a mascot entering the bathroom.

"These dolls are all people inside. There are definitely more dolls than usual today," the woman patiently explained to her daughter.

"Mommy, look, this little bear is so soft!" The girl then looked at a frog and a Calabash Brothers doll with a giant panda between them, which looked like they were pushing the panda. The little girl's voice wasn't loud, but it made them speed up.

"What kind of words are those?" The woman didn't understand her daughter's meaning and, without paying close attention to the three dolls, took her daughter into the bathroom.

"Help! Someone has collapsed in the bathroom!" A sharp-tongued girl shouted in the bathroom. The girls in the bathroom were all flustered, and the woman with the child hurriedly carried the girl away.

Abu checked the time and wondered why Jiang Yi hadn't come out yet. Then he heard two girls talking all at once.

"I wonder how that girl is doing?"

"It's so scary."

Abu realized something was wrong and stopped the two girls, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"A girl was lying in a toilet stall, and there was a wheelchair next to her. I don't know if she accidentally fell."

"Wheelchair!" Abu exclaimed in shock, realizing something was wrong. He disregarded the difference between men and women and ran into the women's restroom. By then, a crowd had gathered inside, and mall managers also rushed in, along with medical professionals who dispersed the crowd.

Abu didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to find out who the girl was. It turned out that it was Li Li who was brought out, not Jiang Yi.

"Where's Jiang Yi? Where did Jiang Yi go?"

Abula clenched his fists and widened his eyes, pointing at one of the girls in business attire. "Only one person fainted?"

"Sir, do you know this lady? We need to take her to the hospital for a check-up now. Don't worry, our mall will cover all the medical expenses." The woman in professional attire displayed professionalism and composure.

"Is anyone else here?"

"No, there's nothing left, just a wheelchair."

Abu took out his phone and showed a photo of Jiang Yi. "Have you seen this person before? She injured her foot; it's impossible for her to travel too far alone."

"Sorry, I didn't see him. If you're looking for someone, you can go to the security office and ask the mall security to help you find him." The woman in business attire told them to take the person to the hospital quickly and then ignored Abu.

Abu's body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. His eyes widened in disbelief as he quickly called Lü Haotian, "Lü Er, something's happened. Xiao Si is missing."

Lu Haotian, who was at the company, disregarded everything else and immediately notified Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang immediately interrupted the meeting and rushed to Huamao, instructing the person in charge of Huamao to guard all exits and close the store in advance.

The security guards immediately checked the surveillance footage and only saw Jiang Yi and Li Li go into the restroom; they never saw them come out again.

"That's not right, let's go back." Lu Haotian couldn't believe that a living person had just vanished into thin air. Jiang Yi loved to play, but she wasn't unaware of boundaries. "What day is it today? Why are there so many dolls?"

"These past two days, the children's clothing store upstairs has added a lot of plush toys to attract customers and keep the kids entertained." The security guard didn't see anything wrong with it.
