Chu Xici accompanied Yege out the door, walking towards the pet shop.
On the way, neither of them spoke, just walked quietly side by side like that.
As they walked, Chu Xici suddenly said, "Yege, wait a minute!"
Yege was startled and stopped in her tracks.
"What's the matter?"
"Your shoelace is untied!"
"Huh?"
Yege thought it was Chu Xici's shoelace that was untied, so she looked down at Chu Xici's feet, but to her surprise, Chu Xici bent over and squatted, his slender hands reaching towards Yege's left foot.
It turned out, her shoelace was untied!
Chu Xici's fingers were long and nimble, as he helped her tie the shoelace.
Despite squatting, his posture was graceful, indescribably pleasing to the eye.
Yege's heart was beating fast.
"I can do it myself!"
This matter of tying shoelaces... suddenly brought back her memories.
