"Let's go check out the mall next door," Shen Mochen suggested. "It has air conditioning. We can enjoy the breeze for a while and come out later tonight."
Han Muxue remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Shen Mochen then took Han Muxue to the mall next to the restaurant, one of the biggest in Yu Huai City. But when Shen Mochen tried to take Han Muxue inside, they found that the stone bollards outside blocked the wheelchair's path.
"Can we... squeeze through this?" Shen Mochen pushed Han Muxue's wheelchair to give it a try, but even a slight attempt seemed quite difficult.
"No," Han Muxue answered straightforwardly, her head down and her face expressionless.
"This is just too..." Shen Mochen started to complain as he looked at the bollards, but he swallowed his words before they could escape his lips.
He lifted Han Muxue, asking her to hold on tight, then lifted the wheelchair to slowly make it past the bollard barrier.
