My beautiful girl information is updated at any time

But that aloof and cold face is still too much of a threat to children.

"Waaaaah, I want to find my mommy! Waaaaah..." Little Deng cried in fright, fell to the ground, and crawled away on his little toe.

Ran Bao is terrifying.

Chapter 29 Seven dollars, for your cuteness~

Before Xiao Deng summons his mom to gank,

After the song "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ended, Lin Mo picked up Ran Bao, put her in the shopping cart, and slipped away.

Nizi hadn't had enough fun and lay on the car, gazing longingly at the children's playground.

After wandering around for a while, the girl lowered her eyes and head, seemingly lost in thought.

"Let's play again later..." Lin Mo comforted her, seeing her low spirits.

"Not fun."

Li Qingran murmured softly.

If it wasn't fun, why were you having so much fun?

Hey, you dishonest Ran-chan!

"It's really not fun. It's only novel for a short time; you get bored after a couple of rides," Lin Mo agreed.

"Being alone isn't fun," the cool-looking girl murmured, curling up like a child who had done something wrong, resting her chin on her knees.

"It's no fun without you."

"I'll play with you no matter what." Lin Mo patted her head, but the girl dodged away.

Lin Mo realized something was wrong.

"That's not good."

Li Qingran clenched her small hand, crumpling her palm as thin as paper.

"I don't want that, you only play with me..."

"Family, it's not like that..."

As she tried to explain, the girl realized she couldn't articulate it clearly, so she simply shut up.

She wanted to create a home with Lin Mo, but she didn't know how to do it.

All she knows is how to play. She doesn't understand anything at the supermarket; when she sees the rocking horse, she childishly pulls it along to do things she doesn't want to do.

She naively thought that doing this would make her happy, because Lin Mo always seemed so happy when he was with her, and always took meticulous care of her every need.

However, over the next few days, the girl gradually discovered that although her world revolved around Lin Mo, Lin Mo's world included more than just her.

He still had studies to attend to, and other important matters to attend to. It wasn't that she didn't want to know, but Lin Mo hadn't proactively shared his thoughts, and she didn't want to become a burden by knowing.

Yesterday, he was exhausted from his travels, and she realized again that he could get tired; his voice sounded so weary when he spoke to her.

Just like she saw every day, on the street, adults carrying briefcases, heads down, forcing smiles before going home.

He didn't want Lin Mo to be like that, he didn't want him to become an adult who could only force a smile for her.

That would require her to shed her identity as a child.

So she learned to speak normally, to tell stories, to discern Lin Mo's emotions, to know how to please boys, and to share the burden of their little family...

She knew Lin Mo was exhausted, so she used her clumsy stories to soothe him and put him to sleep. She knew Lin Mo liked her body and knew how to arouse the other person's desire, so she used her awkward words and gestures to let Lin Mo take what he wanted...

She knew that maintaining a home required money and careful budgeting. Being with him meant she couldn't do whatever she wanted anymore, so she told Lin Mo she wanted to save money and come to the supermarket with him to learn how to live like family...

But all of this was a disguise, a clumsy imitation.

Upon arriving in the city, she became incredibly excited at the sight of the shopping cart, demanding that he push it unreasonably... and became extremely stubborn at the sight of the rocking horse, defying his wishes...

She was a child who never grew up; even with her clumsy attempts to imitate adults, she still couldn't shoulder the responsibility of living with him.

Only after the enthusiasm for playful banter subsided did the girl realize that her actions had overturned all her previous pretense.

The shopping cart should have been filled with the future of our home, but instead it's filled with her childish antics...

She wanted to do something for Lin Mo, for this family... but why couldn't she?

Li Qingran rummaged through the bicycle basket, trying to tumble out, so that at least she could land on the ground and walk with him on solid ground...

But Lin Mo's outstretched hand pressed it back.

The warmth in her palm froze all her thoughts, forcing her into a standby state.

"You are a cute kitten."

"The cat should stay in the car; the floor is dirty."

Lin Mo carried a bag of oranges, which he hung around her neck. The girl looked at him blankly, her eyes glistening with tears.

"You're in charge of holding onto the things we need to buy. Can you do that?"

Li Qingran nodded blankly, wondering how she, a cat, should speak... "Meow meow meow?"

"I like to eat oranges, what do you like to eat?"

...This is his favorite food, so we must protect it.

The girl carefully tucked the oranges into her bosom.

"strawberry..."

"I'm going to weigh a pound of strawberries. You stay here and watch the car and the oranges."

"Mmm." Li Qingran had lost the ability to act on her own, only feeling guilty. Lin Mo seemed to need her now, so she nodded seriously.

Lin Mo turned around, returned carrying the strawberries, and the girl obediently looked up, a bag of strawberries now hanging around her neck.

She likes strawberries because that's the only flavor of lollipops available at the convenience store.

The sweet aroma of strawberries permeated her senses, seemingly calming her mind temporarily.

"How much money do we have left? I can't calculate it, you do it."

Li Qingran glanced at the prices listed on the merchandise: oranges were 8.5 yuan, strawberries were 15.1 yuan, and a ride on the rocking horse cost 10 yuan...

"Sixteen dollars... and four cents left."

"I don't know what else to buy, you decide."

"have no idea..."

"I don't know either. If I can't spend it all, I'll just have to go home..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingran's delicate eyebrows furrowed; she didn't want their first family shopping trip to end so soon...

Nothing has been done yet.

She quickly looked around, wondering what everyone else was buying... what a home needs...

Eggs, green vegetables, oil, rice, paper towels...

"Tissues, buy tissues."

"Heart to heart?"

"Yes, it's a perfect match." Li Qingran made a cute heart shape with her hands over her chest. "Heart to heart."

Ranbao looks so awkward and confused. You really don't realize how cute you are.

Where did Ran-chan's flirtatious attitude go? Was it all fake?

Look me in the eyes and speak!

"Heart?" Li Qingran blinked, her voice soft and uncertain, then she made a heart shape with her hands.

She didn't know what brand of tissue it was, she only saw that it had a heart shape on it...

Sure, sure, it's cute, extra points.

Lin Mo took three packs of promotional tissues. "Three yuan a pack, how much do you have left?"

"Hmm... seven dollars, four cents!" Encouraged by Lin Mo's encouragement, the girl responded enthusiastically.

What can you buy with seven dollars?

"Buy...buy, buy me?" Li Qingran pointed to herself in a panic.

"You don't want the money, so it's mine anyway."

"Oh..." The girl frowned again, her brows furrowing like distant mountains. She wondered what else she could buy if she'd given it to Lin Mo for free...

As he was thinking, he felt something appear on his head; the bangs that were obstructing his vision were brushed aside.

Lin Mo picked out a hair clip from somewhere and pinned it to the girl's hair.

The hair clip has a cute vibe. Li Qingran is naturally beautiful, and with just a little decoration—gathering her hair and attaching a pink hair clip—while it slightly messes up her cool and aloof temperament, it adds an innocent and charming quality that's hard to look away from.

"A hair clip costs seven yuan; it can buy you your cuteness."

“Cute.” Li Qingran repeated it to the machine.

After wandering around for a while, Li Qingran, like a miser, clutched tissues and two bags of fruit, looking quite serious and earnest.

As they pushed her to the cashier, the cashier was completely stunned. "Are young people these days doing things this elaborately...?"

"Hello, please give me the items you need to pay for."

"Hmm..." Li Qingran was still in her stingy, mischievous state. When she saw the cashier reaching out to ask for her money, she instinctively shrank back with hostility.

This is his and her "family property".

The cashier smiled awkwardly. Could it be that she was also caught up in the two children's play?

The young woman had no choice but to take the scanner and scan the barcodes directly at the items in Li Qingran's arms.

"Thirty in total..."

“And here,” Li Qingran interrupted, sticking her head out to show the cashier the hair clip. “It’s seven yuan, cute.”

"Beep." The cashier felt like she'd been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"It costs 39.6 cents. If you spend 50 or more at our store, you can participate in the ring toss game. You can take whatever you ring. Do you want to round it up?"

Hearing this, Li Qingran panicked, instantly transforming from a stern, mischievous kitten into a pitiful puppy, her dog-like eyes looking helplessly at Lin Mo.

She knew that if she hadn't been so playful... they could have participated in the ring toss game and added so much more to their home...

What to do...

She still did something wrong, and her brief involvement cannot undo her mistake...

Thinking of this, the self-reproach that Lin Mo had just suppressed began to resurface in the girl's heart...

"How many rings can you get with fifty yuan?" Lin Mo asked.

Five.

"Look, we've already spent almost forty yuan, could you be a little lenient and give us just three rings?"

"Well, that's correct...but..."

"Ranbao, make a heart shape with your hands for this girl to see." Lin Mo used Ran-chan's cuteness summoning technique.

"what..."

Li Qingran was only thinking about how to make up for her mistake. She didn't even consider what Lin Mo said, immediately making a heart shape with her hands at the cashier, along with a fake smile.

"Xinxin."

The young woman's pupils dilated in shock. She'd been blinded by the two girls' abstract beauty, and now she realized this girl was unusually cute...

That girly hair clip... ahhhhh!

How do I refuse? Should I call the boss over? If the boss sees this, he'll probably just give me a hundred more rings!

"Oh well..."

The cashier clutched her chest, overwhelmed by the cuteness, but ultimately couldn't resist and agreed, giving Li Qingran three circles as a gesture of affection.

"Can I practice first before throwing?"

"Sure, sure." The cashier was still looking at Li Qingran, her eyes softening, completely oblivious to Lin Mo's insidious "self-discipline" plan.
