Strictly burdened with her load, Fu Ying should have gone straight home instead of dropping by Xinhua Bookstore, but she did not want to make that trip twice.
The Xinhua Bookstore was also on the main street, but Fu Ying had to walk another five minutes in the opposite direction of home to reach it. Perhaps she was heading north? With no sun in sight, Fu Ying could not tell and just guessed by feel.
The bookstore was not very crowded, with most people browsing rather than buying. The Xinhua Bookstore back home did not allow free reading, nor would they tear off the protective film from a few copies of newly arrived books for people to read, keeping only a single sample copy out.
