Red Delicious

The current version of "Red Delicious" is credited to Hihifriend. In the existing chapters, Shi Ning suggests that Lao Wang pick her up at the residential compound gate in the afternoon so they can go shopping together. Lao Wang interprets the invitation as being welcomed into her daily life, whereas Shi Ning remains calm and restrained; the narrative unfolds from the disconnect between these differing perceptions.
