[The heroine's perspective, two heroines, millennium, Lily, redemption, be unclean]
When I was in high school, a hair salon opened in the alley of Nancheng Street, which was the road I passed by when I went to school. The shop is opened by a sister, and the customers often call her Jiuyi. She often wears hip-hugging skirts, with a cluster of peonies faintly visible at the slits of the skirt. She often wears heavy makeup on her face and smokes a cigarette... My mother often said that this woman is engaged in shady business and is what they call a "bad woman."
…
Many, many years later, the only thing I remember in my mind is the gorgeous peonies faintly exposed under the high slit of her hip-hugging skirt.
Purpose: redemption
