Although winter has passed and the Outer World has entered a time of blooming spring, these days are marked by cloudy rain, causing the temperature outside to drop several degrees before having a chance to rise.
The sky is overcast, with no sign of clearing, and a damp wind carrying a hint of earthiness flows through the open window, bringing a chill. I sit by the window watching a few children playing noisily in the yard. Although it's boring, I enjoy the quietness, whereas Qianqian sits opposite me, furrowing her brows as she looks outside. Unable to contain herself, she pouts, "So boring, so boring... I really wanted to go shopping with Bingdisi. Ah Jun, should we disperse the clouds?"
I glance over, "Don't be silly; there are plenty of places you can go."
Qianqian responds with a disheartened "Oh" and leans on the table pretending to be gloomy, "But suddenly I really want to go shopping today..."
