The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lin picked up the cotton-padded clothes scattered around and cut them open one by one with scissors.

All the cotton was pure white and clean, just like pearls in a seashell.

Immediately, all the dissenting voices in the live stream disappeared.

"My sister is so cool!"

"Exactly! I've been annoyed with that ***** for a long time. His mouth is so foul. He must be unhappy with his life, so he only dares to vent his filth online."

Wen Yao instantly understood Zhao Lin's intention, and she continued.

"All the clothes in our store have been personally inspected by the store manager at the factory production line. The materials used are absolutely clean and there are no problems. Moreover, we have a seven-day no-reason return policy to protect everyone's rights. If you find clothes you like, you can buy them and try them on at home first."

Before she knew it, she had already taken on the role of a live-streaming e-commerce host.

"This puts my mind at ease! They're doing a live-stream of taking clothes apart, so the cotton they use must be safe."

"Buy, buy, buy! I was hesitant to buy it before, but now there's nothing to hesitate about."

"Hey pretty girl, can I see that knit sweater that's number thirteen on the sales chart?"

......

As the atmosphere in the live stream gradually returned to normal, Xu Xi and the other two resumed their busy work of introducing and trying on clothes.

It wasn't until evening that Xu Xi felt tired and finally found the button to turn off the live stream in a corner, ending the broadcast.

Not long after, the warehouse door was forcefully opened.

"Xu Xi!!! What did you do???"

Li Na burst in, her eyes wide with shock, staring in disbelief at the cotton scattered all over the floor.

Zhao Lin steeled herself and stepped forward, pointing to the scissors beside her.

"I ruined these clothes by cutting them. Name your price, and I'll pay for them."

"No, no, no, Sister Na, it's because someone in the live stream said bad things about us. Zhao Lin couldn't stand it, so she cut up the clothes to prove us wrong. I'll pay for these clothes."

Xu Xi quickly stepped in front of Zhao Lin and explained on her behalf.

"No...that's not what I meant."

Li Na hurriedly waved her hand and asked anxiously.

"I just fell asleep in the hospital, and when I woke up I found my online store was flooded with orders. Customer service messages are all saying they're coming from the live stream. What did you guys do?"

The three exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Na wasn't there to blame them for damaging their clothes.

Xu Xi stepped forward and explained their actions in detail.

Upon hearing this, Li Na collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears of joy.

"That's brilliant! How come I didn't think of that!"

"Um... these clothes..."

Xu Xi pointed somewhat embarrassedly to the cotton scattered all over the ground.

Ultimately, they also damaged quite a few clothes, all of which Li Na paid for.

"What are you saying! You solved such a headache for Nana. Even if you broke a few things, or even just set this place on fire, Nana would praise you for your skill!"

Hu Yu leaned against the door frame and said to Xu Xi with a smile.

Later, Li Na treated the three of them to a meal at a nearby restaurant.

At the dinner table, Xu Xi suggested to Li Na that she wanted to help Zhao Lin find a part-time job as a fitting model here.

Li Na glanced at Zhao Lin a few times, then readily agreed, promising them that if they ever needed clothes, they could come to her anytime, and she would give them as many sets as they needed.

"Sorry, Xu Xi, I'm so broke right now that all I have left are clothes, so this is all I can offer as a thank you gift."

......

December 25th, Christmas Day.

The children waved fireworks in their hands, playing, chasing, and frolicking with each other.

Shop assistants dressed as Santa Claus are handing out candy to a crowd of children next to the store on the street.

Although it wasn't a public holiday, it happened to be a Sunday, and the temperature had warmed up a bit, so there was a constant stream of pedestrians on the street.

Looking around, many couples were holding hands and snuggling together happily, expressing their feelings for each other and their hopes for the coming year.

"Brother, hurry up! The movie's about to start."

At this moment, Xu Xi was holding the candies she had just harvested in one hand, and waving the other hand toward Xu Nian behind her.

It wasn't cold today, so she didn't need to wear a thick down jacket. She just wore a white sweatshirt with cute cartoon patterns on it.

Her adorable gesture of waving while standing on tiptoe attracted many passersby to turn around and look.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Today was Xu Nian's day off, and it just so happened that Xu Xi was on holiday for the weekend. At the little one's request, the two of them went out shopping together.

At this moment, Xu Nian felt an exhaustion that was even more tiring than working.

He thought that shopping meant simply going to the corresponding store and buying whatever he needed.

Xu Xi, deeply influenced by Wen Yao, could walk from the south to the north of the city, taste every stall she passed, and enter every shop that had given her candy.

For her, shopping doesn't necessarily mean buying things, but it definitely means looking around.

However, Xu Nian did not have any complaints.

Seeing that Xu Xi is becoming more and more outgoing and is no longer the withdrawn girl who would only hide behind him, Xu Nian is very gratified.

Under her influence, I seem to be smiling more often.

Soon, the two arrived at the movie theater.

This was Xu Nian's first time entering such a place, and everything around her felt completely unfamiliar.

Fortunately, Xu Xi had been to the movies with Wen Yao before, so with her there, she didn't feel too embarrassed.

When the two arrived at the ticket counter, Xu Xi asked for two tickets to the movie "Ne Zha".

This is a movie that was just released recently. Wen Yao talks about it all the time, saying that the plot is really great.

"Little sister, are you two together?"

The ticket seller looked at Xu Xi and Xu Nian beside her and asked her.

Xu Xi nodded: "That's right."

"We have a Christmas promotion right now. Couples can buy a couple's ticket package!"

"No, no, no, we are not..."

Xu Nian was about to explain when Xu Xi interrupted her.

What discounts are available for couples' tickets?

"You can get a 20% discount on tickets, plus two extra buckets of popcorn and two cups of Coke!"

The ticket seller's eyes fell on the red strings on their wrists, and she replied with a smile.

"Just give each other a kiss here to prove you're a couple, and you can participate in this event!"

Before Xu Nian could react, Xu Xi stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

In an instant, Xu Nian felt as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body tingling and numb.

He stared wide-eyed at Xu Xi, who was blushing shyly, his mouth agape, his face full of disbelief.

"Okay, here are your couple's tickets and snacks. Please take them. You can enter the venue 10 minutes before the show starts."

......

"Xiaoxi, why did you do that? We're not a couple. What if other people see us like this and misunderstand?"

While waiting for the movie to start, Xu Nian leaned down and asked Xu Xi, whose heart was pounding, with a serious expression.

Xu Xi stuck out her tongue cutely, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

She pointed to the popcorn bucket in her hand.

"Brother, it saves money and we get good food. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a good deal."
