Parallel BE (6)_1

Throughout the trip, Meng Xiao and Zhao Guoying had kept their distance, with only minor physical contact such as hand-holding and sharing a drink.

It was her first time traveling far from home, leaving her free to enjoy herself and shop until she dropped.

Zhao Guoying had no complaints, carrying her purchases to the house she rented. Together, they sorted the items, which Zhao later moved to his car trunk to avoid mixing up the gifts for different people.

Mostly, Meng Xiao managed the classification of these items on her own. Zhao Guoying would just sit on the sofa watching TV until she called him to collect some items.

There was a benefit to this, since being unsupervised by Zhao Guoying meant Meng Xiao could concentrate on sorting the items. She hung up clothes she bought for Meng Xun and neatly packed Zhao Guoying's clothes in a bag for him to take when he left.
