"Ah! It's... Mom's phone number, it's 1395..." Chen Yajie reported like a robot.
Why ask this...?
"It's okay, I'm just going to the restroom."
Lin Mo got up to go to the restroom, closed the door, turned down the volume on his phone, and then called the cafeteria owner he had previously arranged to meet...
...
"Qingran, why aren't you eating..." Chen Yajie put another piece of fish into her bowl.
"Lin Mo isn't here," Li Qingran said coldly.
"Yeah, he stayed in the bathroom for a while."
"Ah."
"Um, Lin Mo often calls you, oh... Ran Bao?"
"..."
Li Qingran lowered her eyes. She didn't really want to speak, but reason told her that as an adult, she shouldn't be so childish...
"OK, okay, okay!" Lin Mo came out at that moment, waving his hand. "I was having so much fun playing on my phone in the bathroom that I didn't check the time."
Li Qingran pouted, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating, but her eating efficiency had decreased significantly.
For the rest of the meal, Lin Mo kept the atmosphere lively by calling out "Ranbao" and "Jiebao" repeatedly.
"Let's skip the ear cleaning today. We'll talk to you next time. Let's go to the supermarket first."
"Okay...okay, okay."
"Hmm." Hearing about the supermarket, Li Qingran's mood improved slightly.
Lin Mo, out of the corner of his eye, kept an eye on the banknote clutched in Chen Yajie's hand.
Intelligence always updates at crucial moments, such as what the supermarket's lucky draw format is today, Hu Yu'en sneaking out, Jie Bao's hand not actually being burned, and Ran Bao being in a bad mood...
as well as,
[The bill in Chen Yajie's hand is counterfeit.]
Chapter 63 Jiebao and Ranbao are both stuck in the car
"I'll exchange my change for that hundred-yuan bill with you."
Lin Mo pulled out a few ten-yuan and twenty-yuan bills.
Fortunately, the money from the [Growth Cashback] program can be withdrawn at any time; otherwise, Lin Mo really wouldn't have prepared any cash.
"Huh? Why do you want mine...?"
"I just love the ones that pretty girls hold."
"Eh? Eh? Eh?" The girl's face, though unmade-up, still retained the flush from the meal, so her shyness now seemed perfectly natural.
"Or you can let Ranbao touch you, and then give it to me, double the pleasure."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingran reached out her small hand to Chen Yajie.
She preferred being the middleman, rather than a direct transaction without her involvement, so that Lin Mo would receive her money after she had touched him...
"Ya Jie, bring it here." She said coldly, her face expressionless.
Chen Yajie was bewildered; she didn't understand Lin Mo's actions, but Li Qingran had already said so...
Beautiful girl... Doesn't Qingran feel embarrassed being talked about like that?
After exchanging the banknotes, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
If the girl gets to the supermarket and discovers the counterfeit bill doesn't work, it will likely trigger a chain reaction that causes her to completely break down.
Aunt Chen probably accepted counterfeit money from outside and didn't notice, or she was in such a hurry that she made a mistake...
"Okay, let's go."
Once at the mall, Ran Jiang was indeed a bit happier; she wasn't as sullen anymore, and she even swayed to the songs playing on the radio.
Lin Mo was truly unsure whether Li Qingran was actually jealous...
"Lin Mo... let's make this clear first, I have to pay for everything you buy, okay?"
Approaching the supermarket entrance in the mall, Chen Yajie spoke in a low voice, not entirely confident.
"Fifty for me, fifty for you," Lin Mo offered a compromise suggestion, one that brooked no refusal.
"Ah... I don't need it, I don't buy anything..."
“No, this is fine.” Lin Mo stared at her. “I have OCD. Everything has to be in a 50/50 balance.”
Chen Yajie pursed her lips.
That's why babies are supposed to be shared equally between two girls...
"All right..."
You seem very unwilling, Jiebao. So please don't be upset if I don't call you Bao anymore.
"But if you don't have enough, you should tell me..."
"Row."
As the two were arguing, Li Qingran had already pushed a shopping cart over and came running over.
The girl instinctively wanted to sit inside; her hand was already on the edge of the bicycle basket, eager to try.
But when she saw Chen Yajie, she realized that she couldn't do it today... and maybe not in the future either...
The aloof girl's face fell. Although outsiders couldn't actually tell the change in her expression, and she just seemed to have a cold face all the time, Lin Mo was already very familiar with Li Qingran's little moods.
You can tell by looking at the light in her eyes. If she looks at you like a little puppy begging, then she is very curious or expectant. If she is angry, her pupils will shrink a little.
If you're shy, you'll blink faster.
If you feel lost, it's like this: a vacant stare, a sighing puppy.
"Sure, let's stay in the car," Lin Mo said to Li Qingran.
Li Qingran shook her head. Today was different from last week; not only was Chen Yajie there, but Lin Mo was also in more trouble.
She needs to grow up...
"Ouch! Oh dear..."
In the blink of an eye, the petite Chen Yajie was suddenly picked up by Lin Mo and placed in the shopping cart. Li Qingran was stunned for a moment, and then in the next blink, she was also picked up and put in the shopping cart.
Fortunately, the supermarket cart was quite large, and both girls were very thin, especially Chen Yajie, who was quite petite...
The two girls huddled inside, just the right size.
Once everyone's together, no one will feel awkward, and it'll also help to distract Jiebao from worrying too much.
"Lin Mo...this, this, this...why?!" Chen Yajie closed her eyes, not daring to cover her face, unable to accept the gazes of those around her, burying her head in the sand.
Her first instinct was to climb out, but Li Qingran blocked her way...
"Why don't you sit inside? It's quite fun, isn't it?"
"Yes...yes..." Chen Yajie opened her eyes and found that the little child passing by was also sitting in the shopping cart, looking at her with a shocked expression.
"Ahhhh~" She buried her face in Li Qingran's back again.
"Qingran, is this really okay? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Drive," Li Qingran said.
Lin Mo carried her inside, and with Ya Jie there too, she had no more worries.
Lin Mo received the instruction and started pushing the cart. The two girls were really light; they pushed it effortlessly.
"That's not how you talk!!"
Chen Yajie blushed with a pained expression, her voice soft and shy, yet she had to keep her volume down. Her cuteness and sweetness were off the charts, and everyone was silent.
When there are actually two adorable little ones sitting in the shopping cart, the looks from passersby will change from speechless and disdainful to envious and admiring.
If Lin Mo were sitting inside, he'd get sprayed with bullets, but anyone who saw the expressionless Ran Bao and the adorable Jie Bao would have their heart melt.
Beautiful girls are always right; that's just how realistic this society is.
Of course, when they started shopping, Lin Mo carried the two girls out one by one. Ran Bao could fit in the bags, but with Jie Bao included, there was simply no room for anything.
Treat everyone equally!
"Let's buy some fruit first."
"What does Ranbao want to eat today?"
"tangerine."
"Don't you like strawberries?"
"You like it." Without waiting for a reply, Li Qingran grabbed both hands and stuffed them into her pockets.
"Qingran...the oranges need to be weighed, you can't put them in your pockets..."
Chen Yajie noticed the shop assistant's questioning look and her tendency to feel embarrassed for them kicked in.
"Give it to me, I'll take it to weigh..."
Chen Yajie packed the oranges into a bag, walked a short distance away to weigh them.
Thinking to herself, Lin Mo likes to eat oranges, likes oranges... Qing Ran seems aloof, but is her first thought about what Lin Mo likes to eat?
As if possessed, she turned around and saw Li Qingran holding a cantaloupe and bringing it close to Lin Mo's face...
The two of them are standing so close. Even if they're very good friends, this is way too much of a boundary. They usually call each other "baby"...
Ranbao, Jiebao.
Is this how Lin Mo treats his friends? What is Lin Mo thinking? What exactly happened last night...?
"The flour isn't selling, even at a 70% discount, no one's buying it?"
"Who knows..."
The conversation between the two sales clerks caught her attention at that moment, interrupting the girl's easily frustrated thoughts.
flour...
It's so cheap! We were just short of flour at home, and Mom needs some from her stall...
The budding, ambiguous feelings ultimately couldn't overcome her sense of responsibility towards her family.
But, but we came out with Lin Mo and the others, we were supposed to have fun, how could we bring back a bag of flour... that would be such a spoilsport...
"Take one bag and go."
It was Lin Mo's voice...
"Snapped."
A cantaloupe fell into the pile of flour. Li Qingran pushed her cart over.
"It's so cheap, I'll buy more flour to make face masks."
Lin Mo seemed oblivious to Chen Yajie's dazed expression, and proceeded to pack the bag.
"Give the honeydew melon a face mask?" Li Qingran picked up the honeydew melon again, tilting her head as she spoke.
"Flour is for eating. Only with food can a family be supported."
"Jiebao, are you buying it too?"
Lin Mo handed her a bag of pre-packaged food, which bumped into her.
"Buy more."
Chapter 64 Meeting him was the greatest fortune.
"Do I really need to buy the flour...?"
Chen Yajie held the bag of flour, her delicate brows furrowed, her peach-blossom eyes fixed on the price tag already pasted on the bag, not daring to look up.
