Not a god

Chapter 169 Shopping Mall
The clothes on Jiang Yan are a bit like Jiang Xiaowan's style. She also wears a black robe. However, because she often goes out to fight with others, if the clothes are not durable, the picture will be too beautiful. So she has a leather jacket under the robe, a bit like the Persona form of An Takamaki in "Persona".

"My clothes are very powerful. They won't be burned by my flames, and they can withstand a battle at the Daluotian level..."

However, whether it is a black robe or a leather jacket, it is obviously not ordinary clothes.

It's okay in that dangerous and turbulent world, but in the real world, it feels like wearing cosplay on the street.

Chen Xi planned to take her to buy some clothes before going back, but then he thought that she was a grown girl after all, and it would not be convenient for him to take her to buy some private clothes. So he went home first and took Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Xiaowan with him.

When I got home, I saw that I had probably eaten McDonald's for lunch and dinner. There were unfinished French fries and Chicken McNuggets on the computer desk. The air-conditioner was on in the room. A married young woman wearing a 2D-style shawl was sitting in front of the computer desk, holding a bottle of Otaku happy water, typing away on the keyboard.

Chen Xi was ruthless and directly lifted her out of the gaming chair.

"No, I don't want to go!"

"I just started the game!"

"Just go ahead!"

Chen Xi pulled her hand, and she squatted down and resisted, unwilling to go out. Then she was dragged by Chen Xi from the room to the living room.

Little Chen Yi ran over excitedly, probably thinking it was some fun game, but she didn't know how to play it, so she ran around anxiously.

Yan Di stood aside, looking at the cold and aloof goddess in his impression, thinking.

At this moment, a cold female voice came from behind:
"You, come here."

Jiang Xiaowan came out of the balcony after collecting the clothes, with a pile of clothes in her hands. Because she had just collected the clothes, she was still holding two hangers in her hands, looking at her expressionlessly:
"Explain to me what was going on with that fire in the sky this afternoon."

In an instant, sweat broke out on Lord Yandi's forehead, and he subconsciously wanted to look for Chen Xi.

"Don't look around. It's no use looking for anyone. Just speak."

"I, I, I..."

"Come to the balcony."

"I do not!"

Chen Xi asked Jiang Wanwan to put on her shoes quickly. Jiang Wanwan was a born spoiled child, and she was throwing a tantrum and was reluctant, asking her brother to help her put on her shoes.

"Are you the same size as Yiyi? Why are you asking me to put it on you?"

"Whee!"

"It just so happens that Yiyi's clothes are a little short, so I'll take her up there and buy two sets."

"It's so fast and short, didn't you just buy it?"

"Children grow fast, and summer is coming soon. Yiyi doesn't even have summer clothes...put on your shoes quickly."

"Dad, Daddy!"

Chen Yi squatted on the ground with her butt sticking out, stretched out her arms, and moved her little hands around, asking Chen Xi to pull her and play like she did with her mother just now.

In the living room, Assistant Chen was sitting on the sofa.

Although the living room was noisy, there were people constantly walking back and forth in front of him, and occasionally they would stop in front of the TV to prevent him from watching TV.

Especially someone was pulling his daughter, sliding back and forth.

But he never said a word, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the group of people went out one after another, and the chattering in the house quieted down. He then picked up the remote control and switched from the local news channel to an emotional connection program.

"This is a sad story caused by a wrong love. A 45-year-old woman and her second-generation rich boyfriend, an old love that cannot be redeemed. Today, mediator Xiao Ma will take you..."

Suddenly, the door was opened.

Almost instantly, the TV program was switched back to the local news.

"Regarding the 'huge fireworks in the sky' that the whole city can see at six o'clock tonight..."

Assistant Chen turned his head and saw that Chen Xi and Yi Yi had suddenly come back for some reason, as if something had fallen.

The father and son looked at each other. Chen Xi walked into the house, twisting his neck to stretch it, and asked:

"looking at what."

"watch TV."

"so."

"Ah."

As soon as Xiao Yiyi entered the house, she ran to her room, then came out holding her shark, and passed by the living room and said to him: "Goodbye Grandpa, Goodbye Grandpa!"

Assistant Chen smiled, stretched out his hand to say goodbye to his darling granddaughter, and reminded Chen Xi to drive safely at night.

He waited until his son and granddaughter left before changing the channel again. In the video, the moderator was trying his best to stop a man and a woman from arguing over an emotional dispute. The occasional swear words were covered up by busy tones, and it was obvious that both sides were right.

Assistant Chen's expression while watching TV gradually became more focused.

……

I drove the girls to the mall. Jiang Wanwan wanted to drink tea, so I went to buy it for them.

Yan Di also had a share. She took a sip with the mentality of testing poison, frowned slightly, and then sucked several more times.

"what is this?"

"milk tea."

Chen Xi didn't drink it, he didn't like milk tea.

Little Chen Yi had nothing to drink either, so she looked up with eager eyes.

She is a greedy person, but if the adults don't give her food, she won't ask for it. She will just stare at you and won't say a word.

Chen Xi refused to buy it for her, saying how could such a little kid drink such a big cup of milk tea? She asked Jiang Wanwan to give her a couple of sips. Jiang Wanwan teased her deliberately, not letting her drink, and even asked her to say nice things.

"Hello, Mom. Hello, Mom..."

Jiangcheng is a tourist city, and there are many people walking on the streets at night, especially the girls who come to travel, who are dressed youthfully and beautifully. But Jiang Wanwan and Yan Di are both street-stunning when taken alone, and the appearance of three of them at once is even more eye-catching.

Especially the two identical little gingers, such beautiful twins, are dazzling in the night. However, it seems that one of them is already married and has a child.

"Brother, drink this. It's delicious."

Jiang Xiaowan gave her milk tea to Chen Xi to try as if she was offering a treasure. Chen Xi took it, drank two sips, and rubbed the girl's head.

Some gossipers on the street saw this and realized that the one taking care of the child should be the aunt.

"Lulu, I won't give you a drink even if I say nice things to you. Mommy will give it to Daddy. Daddy, drink this..."

To be honest, it felt really wonderful when I heard Jiang Wanwan calling me dad.

Chen Xi also took it and drank two sips.

But for some reason, he suddenly realized that many people around him were focusing their eyes on him.

Moreover, the looks of these people were extremely strange, shocked, horrified, and even a little bit...jealous?
When Yan Di stood at the entrance of the shopping mall, there was a surging crowd of people outside the street. They looked at the mall which was as bright as day. It was magnificent and full of dazzling goods, and they couldn't take it all in.

"Don't you guys close the shops on this street at night?"

"It's only half past eight. It's not that early."

"It's been dark for a long time, right?"

"What does it matter if it's dark or not? Do you see that office building over there?"

"What's wrong?"

“There are all workers there who are still working.”

She was in awe.

"Although modern urban nightlife doesn't end until two or three in the morning, the mall closes at ten, so we should hurry."

Jiang Xiaowan suggested: "Brother, take Yiyi to buy baby clothes. I'll take her to pick out a few clothes for her." She looked at Emperor Yan and said calmly: "Come here, I'll take you to buy clothes."

"Don't keep bossing me around like this."

Although he complained like that, Jiang Yan still followed her. After all, this woman actually wanted to buy clothes for him. Just thinking about it made him look forward to it!

In the past, let alone buying clothes for her, this person probably wouldn’t even care whether she wore clothes in front of Jiang Wanwan.

But she also keenly realized that this was just a man's task.

Although this man named Chen Xi is so ordinary and has nothing outstanding about him, there is no doubt that he seems to occupy the most powerful position in this family.

"Let's go together." Chen Xi said, "It doesn't matter if we spend a little time."

Jiang Wanwan suggested: "Let's go to the supermarket after buying clothes!"

"Go shopping at Chao Temple!"

"By the way, do you want to go to the arcade?"

"Video game floor!"

"Oh my! You are such a chatterbox!"

"A chatterbox!"

"All you do is hold your shark all day and not let you play with it. Mommy is going to sell it. Mommy is going to give the shark to someone else so that you won't be able to play with it."

Jiang Wanwan snatched her shark doll and said he was going to give it to someone else. Little Chen Yi was really anxious and chased after him, shouting, "Shark! Shark!"

There were many people in the mall, and they couldn't help but smile when they saw the young mother playing with her lovely daughter.

Chen Xi looked helpless, Yi Yi was almost becoming her toy.

First, they went to a children's clothing store and bought a bunch of clothes for Yiyi, including tops, pants, and skirts, all of which were picked out for her by Jiang Wanwan. She treated little Chen Yi as if she were Miracle Nikki and kept changing her clothes.

Many of the clothes that Chen Xi buys are chosen by her, probably because her mother is a celebrity and Jiang Wanwan has a very high standard in fashion.

The boss also wanted to take a photo of Yiyi so that he could promote it on his online store and said he could give them a discount.

Chen Xi refused, not wanting to post the child online.

Then they went to a women's clothing store to choose clothes for Yan Di. The store was full of dazzling items. Chen Xi asked her to pick what she liked. She stood under the light, looking a little at a loss.

It’s just like those left-behind children in the countryside. When they go to a big city for the first time, they stand there helplessly, not understanding anything and feeling embarrassed.

In the end, it was Jiang Wanwan who chose for her. Jiang Wanwan joked, "Why don't you just call me mom like Yiyi!"

"Who, who wants to shout, and no matter how you look at it, I am the older one!"

Jiang Wanwan pinched her chin and pondered: "Now that I think about it, I suddenly realize that you have always been very childish."

"..."

I also took her to a place selling underwear.

It was naturally impossible for Chen Xi to go in, but when they came out, Lord Yan Di's ears were burning and his face was a little embarrassed, while Jiang Wanwan's face became a little heavy.

She frequently looked down at herself, then at Yan Di, then at Yi Yi beside her, and then fell into deep thought.

"Let's go to the supermarket and buy her some toiletries."

Going to the supermarket is one of the few outdoor activities that Jiang Wanwan does. Even Jiang Xiaowan got excited and bought a bunch of snacks. After going to the supermarket, he went to the video game arcade.

Yan Di followed behind her. The lives of the common people in this world were so peaceful and affluent that she was overwhelmed, especially when she was standing in the video game arcade, surrounded by young people coming and going, and people were having fun with a bunch of virtual things.

In her era, Emperor Yan experienced the initial stage of spiritual energy revival until a thousand years later.

In this thousand years, the most difficult time for the people was actually in the early days, when she had just awakened to her destiny and achieved Daluotian.

The land of China is in ups and downs, horrible and powerful evil spirits are everywhere, human life is cheap, even the powerful people with destiny are in danger of losing their lives at any day. Most of the living people are like crazy, hating, loathing and killing each other.

Jiang Yan grew up in that era. No one ever told her what the world was like, so in her mind, the world was like that.

After several decades and hundreds of years, people gradually became more polite and no longer as crazy as before. Emperor Yan was a little uncomfortable at first.

But in her opinion, this is the progress of human civilization and should be considered a good thing.

Later on, the days got better day by day in her perception. During the course of those thousand years, the times were constantly progressing, from the barbaric and turbulent times at the beginning to the wasteland era where she lived a thousand years later.

She watched the development process along the way, felt the continuous advancement of civilization, and people's lives became better and better. Half a year ago, she sighed and said, "People are really happy now, living in such a good era."

However, today, going back a thousand years and looking at everything in front of her, she didn't know how to describe it, nor did she know from what angle to describe it.

Chen Xi took Yi Yi to the bathroom and came back. Seeing Jiang Yan standing there blankly, he asked:
"What are you standing here for?"

"What are they doing?" She pointed at Jiang Wanwan and the other person.

"Oh, shooting machine, throw the basketball into that basket."

"Why do this?"

"Why so many whys? This is just a game."

"What is the purpose of this game?"

"Games are games. They are for fun. There is no such thing as a purpose or no purpose."

Emperor Yan nodded as if he understood. It turned out that people a thousand years ago could spend time every day doing a lot of meaningless things just for fun.

But was there anything joyful about just throwing that ball into the basket? She didn't understand.

two minutes later
"I won, hahaha! You two are too weak, even if you attack me together you still can't beat me!"

Emperor Yan laughed exaggeratedly.

Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Xiaowan were panting, one holding the machine and the other supporting his knees.

They bought two hundred coins and tried many games, but Yiyi couldn't understand any of them. Chen Xi took her around and even let her grab a huge doll from the claw machine for 10 yuan a time. It was a huge avocado that was almost taller than Yiyi.

No cheating
"Yiyi, take this. This is your new friend. It's called avocado."

"Niu, Niu Niu fruit."

"avocado."

"Cow nut."

"Oil, oil."

"Oil-oil fruit."

“…” Let the child call himself whatever he wants.

When they went back to see, the three of them were still fighting Street Fighter there. It was only after Chen Xi urged them to go back.

Yiyi ran around the supermarket, then jumped excitedly in the video game arcade. She was so tired when she went back that she kept rubbing her eyes and staggered when she walked.

She stumbled over to pull at Chen Xi's trouser legs, whispering, "Daddy, hold me, Daddy, hold me."

Chen Xi picked her up, and she hugged Chen Xi's neck, lay on his chest, and yawned continuously.

It was funny to see her sleepy look: "You had a good time tonight."

"so good."

Yan Di, who was holding a bottle of milk tea next to him, seemed to murmur something suddenly.

He wondered, “What’s so good?”

"No, I didn't say anything."

Chen Xi thought for two seconds and patiently explained: "Even if you call me daddy, I can't hug you. After all, you are so old. Here, we have to avoid suspicion even when our daughters are this old."

"I'm not going to shout!"
