"I'm off to work," she told Shuangjiang, "goodbye."
Then she headed out to work as usual, wearing her face mask and hat securely and wrapped in a black down jacket from head to foot. The only difference today was that she wore a pink hoodie under her down jacket.
As soon as she stepped downstairs, someone called out to her.
"Xu Fang."
The voice sounded very familiar.
It was the new security guard, an old man who was very enthusiastic. He hadn't been around long but had already become friendly with everyone in the community, including Zhou Xufang, whose reputation had always been rather poor in the community. Every time she passed by, he greeted her.
Everyone in the community called him Mr. Fang.
Zhou Xufang politely greeted him back, "Hello, uncle."
Mr. Fang always looked at her with affection, "Are you going on a date?"
It was the first time he had seen her wear pink; she looked as pretty as his own daughter.
