I’m glad it’s just in your residential area, lest you need to rush back here again.”The two walked tens of meters westward, and they came to a dessert shop.Winnie ordered matcha-flavored ice cream, while Christopher only ordered a bottle of lemonade.Winnie took one step ahead to pay before Christopher could do so.This made Christopher a little embarrassed.
