"Which shop does that Fatty frequent?"

Su Mo took Lu Chen to a corner, shielding them from the view of strangers, and handed the boy several packs of little bear cookies, stuffing them all into his hands, "Put these inside your clothes, and don’t get caught."

Su Mo squatted down, touched his head, and asked softly, "Are you familiar with people from this shop?"

"Not really, but the sister inside, my mother, and I all fled here together. I’ve seen them a few times."
