273 Shopping Cart

After having their lunch together, the three of them headed out to the market near the apartment.

Bai Xi Xi was the most excited.

On her left was her brother and her Pretty Sister was on her right. It was a rare chance for her to go out with both of them together. Visiting the market within walking distance could also be very exciting for her.

Bai Xi Xi listened to her brother telling her what they were supposed to buy at the market. She chose a few things that she liked and began to hesitate again after looking at the price tag.

After looking at the items, Bai Xi Xi finally picked up the cheapest one.

Bai Qi heaved a long sigh as he watched his little sister’s action.

The little girl always knew that he was struggling with money in the past and had never made any request from him.

This scene was making his heart ache.

He walked out from the shelf and stopped beside his little sister.

.....

Bai Xi Xi looked up as her brother’s figure blocked the light in front of her. She flashed him a smile and raised the towel in her hand. “Brother, I want this one.”

“Are you sure?” Bai Qi raised a brow. “Didn’t you like the strawberry patterned ones?”

Bai Xi Xi followed her brother’s line of gaze and hesitated. She recalled the price tag again and insisted on the one in her hand. “This one is fluffier.”

His heart ached, knowing that the little girl was being considerate of him. “Then, why don’t we get both?” His lips turned up when he caught the glint in the little girl’s eyes. “Anyway, you will always need a replacement, right?”

Bai Xi Xi watched her brother take the towel that she liked in his hand. “Is that alright?”

“Of course, it is.” Bai Qi stretched his hand and patted the girl’s head. He put both towels into the cart before turning to his sister again. “Xi Xi, if you need anything, you have to tell me, alright? It’s not easy for us to go out and shop for things.”



“Un. I know.” Bai Xi Xi pondered over her brother’s words and agreed that they made sense.

Next time, her brother would be busy with work again. Then, it would be difficult for them to go shopping again.

As those thoughts came to her mind, Bai Xi Xi began to make a list of what they should be getting.

Bai Xi Xi helped her brother to push the cart. Then, she realized that her Pretty Sister was not with them. “Brother, what about Pretty Sister?”

“She told me that she’s going to look at some tableware. Come on. Let’s go and find her.”

The siblings walked around the supermarket and finally found Zhang Li Xue looking at a few cups.

“Pretty Sister!” Bai Xi Xi ran over to Zhang Li Xue and looked at the cup in her hand. Her eyes lit up upon noticing the cat pattern on the cup.

“Xi Xi, look at this.” Zhang Li Xue showed the cup to the little girl. “What do you think? Isn’t it cute?”

“Bai Xi Xi nodded. “Un. It’s really cute.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed. “I thought that the house might need a few sets of tableware. This cup looks good, right?” He turned to Bai Qi and waved the cup to him. “Why don’t you get this one?”

Bai Qi coughed. He could not imagine himself using those cups. But the two girls in front of him were staring back at him with their eyes pleading. He did not have the heart to reject them.

“It’s really cute,” Bai Qi said. “Since you both like them, let’s just choose this cup.”

Instantly, Zhang Li Xue and Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up.

“There are many other colors,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Xi Xi, help me to choose a few for the new apartment. Later, you and your brother can also invite a few people to come to the house. Then, you can use the cup to entertain your guests.”

Hearing the explanation, Bai Xi Xi began to choose the cup with a serious look on her face.

After walking around for almost two hours, their shopping cart was filled with many things. Bai Qi looked at the queue in front of him and turned to his girlfriend. “Li Xue, why don’t you go with Xi Xi and wait for me outside? It will be a while before it is my turn to pay.”

Zhang Li Xue was about to tell him that she could stay and accompany him in queueing when she realized that Bai Xi Xi was with them.

She might be able to stand for a long time to accompany Bai Qi, but Bai Xi Xi might be tired.

“Then, I’ll wait for you outside. I saw that there is an ice cream stand outside.” Zhang Li Xue pointed in a direction. “I’ll go and get one for Xi Xi.”

“That’s good.” Bai Qi nodded.

“Then, Doctor Bai, do you want an ice cream too?”

Bai Qi chuckled. “It’s fine. The queue might take a while. The ice cream might melt when I go out.”

“Alright.” Zhang Li Xue then turned to the little girl beside her. “Xi Xi, let’s go and get some ice cream while your brother pays for the items.”

Bai Xi Xi turned to her brother. Seeing him nod, she then agreed. “Alright.”

Holding hands, the two girls walked out of the market and headed to the ice cream stand just outside the market.

“Xiao Li Xue?”

Zhang Li Xue was paying for the ice cream when she heard a familiar voice call her name. She looked up and was surprised to see Mu Zhen Yu in front of her.

“Brother Zhen Yu. Why are you here?”

“My office is somewhere near, did you forget?”

“That’s right. I almost forget this.” Zhang Li Xue had a sheepish smile on her face.

The last time she met Mu Zhen Yu, it was also somewhere around here. Thinking of the last time they talked made her feel a little awkward.

“Are you alone?”

“No.” Zhang Li Xue shook her head. She turned to Bai Xi Xi and held the girl’s hand. “I’m accompanying my little sister.”

Mu Zhen Yu looked at the little girl for a long time. He could not remember if he had seen this girl’s face before.

“Sister, the ice cream is about to melt.” Bai Xi Xi turned to Zhang Li Xue and held her hand tightly. Her eyes peeked at the tall man in front of them. The man’s gaze was making her feel uncomfortable.

“Brother Zhen Yu, let’s talk again next time,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I still have somewhere I have to go.”

“Alright.” Mu Zhen Yu nodded. He watched as the two girls grabbed their ice cream before turning in a corner.
