"Buy it." Lin Mo weighed out another bag. "I don't know how to make dough, so I'll buy it to learn."
"If you don't know how, I can teach you..."
Chen Yajie's delicate yet tense brows relaxed slightly, and her tense emotions transferred to her body language. Her small hands gripped the plastic bag tightly in a venting manner, creating wrinkles along with the flour inside.
"You noticed, didn't you... Why is it such a coincidence? I was just hesitating when you arrived..."
Lin Mo, you really can see right through people's hearts!
"How much are the two bags together?"
"Five cents a pound, and there are ten pounds here... that's really cheap," Chen Yajie said absentmindedly. "Any more and it'll be hard to carry it all back..."
Just as her delicate brows were about to furrow, Lin Mo suddenly snatched the flour from her hand.
He produced a snakeskin bag from somewhere, with "XJ Hami Melon..." written on it, and filled it with flour.
"Lin Mo, Honeydew Melon, you have no home anymore." Li Qingran said with a cold and adorable sense of loss.
The girl's small hands were still holding the cantaloupe, its rind coated with flour, which she carefully applied as if she were putting makeup on the cantaloupe.
Chen Yajie was mesmerized, she thought,
So, they brought over the burlap sack that held the cantaloupe... No wonder Qingran was holding onto that melon the whole time...
Lin Mo, was this all planned from the beginning? Why...?
The girl stopped herself at the thought of a certain blush-inducing possibility, but the cloud of denial lingered.
"It's okay, the melon is protected by its rind, not flour."
Lin Mo touched the cool, aloof girl's cheek, and a little flour adhered to her delicate skin.
That "cold" aura was instantly shattered by a few specks of powder, leaving only a dazed cuteness.
Li Qingran touched her cheek, only to find that she also had flour on her hands, and this smear spread even more flour on her face.
She turned to look at Chen Yajie, who was staring at her in a daze, and thought that she couldn't be the only one being childish.
He then reached out and wiped Jiebao's face as well...
"Oh! Qingran, you..." Chen Yajie was startled and paused, then hurriedly said:
"We haven't bought this flour yet, so we can't just take it and play with it..."
"Oh, it's alright, it's alright~"
The saleswoman standing nearby waved her hand, smiling like an aunt who had been captivated by the girl's sweetness, and said, "It's nothing, go ahead and play!"
"Anyway, they won't sell."
"Ah... thank you! But this is food, we can't waste it..."
"It's my fault, it's my fault." Lin Mo dragged over a snakeskin bag, which now contained several more bags of flour. "I wasted it."
"It's your fault, it's your fault," Li Qingran repeated.
"Oh, how can I blame you... I was the one who wanted to buy the flour..." Chen Yajie said in a panic.
"Giggle~" The sales clerk was amused by the girl's endearing side, and continued weighing the items while laughing.
"It weighs almost fifty pounds, can you lift it, young man?"
"That's not enough, Ranbao, bring another snakeskin bag," Lin Mo said.
Li Qingran really enjoyed being summoned like this, feeling like Shin-chan from Crayon Shin-chan running errands for his family in the cartoon, running off and coming back with great enthusiasm.
After going back and forth, Ran Bao now had another cantaloupe in her arms, which looked inexplicably comical.
Lin Mo continued to busy himself with stockpiling flour, filling another fifty jin (25 kg) to the brim. The sales clerk beside him was dumbfounded.
"One hundred pounds... Can you carry that? You're not going to make these two young girls carry it, are you?"
Then, they saw Lin Mo easily tie the two snakeskin bags in a knot, sling them over his shoulder, and do a deep squat...
Not only the sales clerk, but even Chen Yajie was stunned. Lin Mo was incredibly strong... He couldn't possibly be just putting on a brave face...
Wow, he's so strong... Does he have abs? Ahhh! Chen Yajie, you're not allowed to think about that!
The girl's ears inexplicably turned red, and she avoided eye contact.
Li Qingran was holding the cantaloupe, her arms a little sore. She didn't know how much 100 pounds would weigh, so she weighed the cantaloupe; it was five pounds...
She was already exhausted carrying a 10-pound melon, but Lin Mo could carry a 100-pound flour, squat down, and stand up again... That's amazing.
"It's alright, I'd pack some more if I wasn't worried about the bag spoiling." Lin Mo put the flour in the shopping cart, showing off a little.
[Pulse Returns], Unlimited Energy, Kid!
I could do squats with Jiebao and Ranbao all night without getting tired, well... of course, I might get tired eventually.
"Lin Mo, do you exercise regularly?" Chen Yajie asked timidly.
"No, I learned it by picking up trash when I was a kid. Back then, some bad old men would stuff stones into my bag without me noticing. I carried dozens of kilograms of stones for a long time."
Lin Mo said it casually, but Chen Yajie felt a pang of heartache when she heard it.
[Lin Mo, you're still the same. You can gloss over heavy experiences and words with such ease... I wish I could be like that too...]
“I picked it up too,” Li Qingran tilted her head and chimed in.
"You've been waiting to pick up the candy I bought you, haven't you..." Lin Mo thought to herself, Ran Bao is still trying to take credit for me.
Their relationship must be really deep... I'm so envious!
Can I still ask him? What if Qingran finds out and gets upset? What if, what if Lin Mo gets upset too...?
Jiebao...
Lin Mo gave a wry smile. No matter how he tried to distract her and make her happy, this soft-hearted girl would eventually relapse into anxiety and worry.
The girl is currently in a state where the nicer others are to her, the more she feels that they are pitying her.
He felt increasingly guilty for not controlling his emotions and for not making sure Li Qingran had a good time with him...
Although the internal conflict in Jiebao's studies has been resolved, her progress in life is still stuck in the same place.
She has too few people to talk to, unlike him who spends every day with Ranbao and can provide her with material or emotional support at all times.
Although Chen Yajie appears kind and gentle, few people may have truly entered her heart. Having experienced family upheavals and the dual pressures of studies and life, the girl's smile doesn't necessarily signify welcome...
It also represents rejection.
Tell others not to approach her easily; she is a fragile and easily broken person.
Seeing the slightly bulky old-fashioned mobile phone in the girl's pocket, and then glancing at the sign at the cashier that read, "Spend 50 yuan for a chance to win a prize, first prize: a Little Chili mobile phone..."
Lin Mo made up his mind,
All I can say is that this wave of intelligence is still going strong.
At this time,
[Is Ya-jie about to cry...?]
The heartfelt message with both audio and pop-up windows is from you, the most important white lotus saintess in the class!
"Hey, that girl is wearing the same school uniform as us... and her hair looks a bit like the class monitor's..."
Chen Yajie had just raised her eyes when she caught a glimpse of the fox's figure, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Mo blocked her view by turning to the side.
Why is my hair so noticeable... I've never dyed it... I almost got caught!
"You must be mistaken. Hu Yu'en is unlikely to be out on the weekend."
Lin Mo took two more steps, and Hu Yu'en took the opportunity to hide, out of Chen Yajie's sight.
"That's true. The class monitor said she practices piano and dance on weekends, lots of other things... She's so talented and hardworking..." the girl said, lowering her pretty eyebrows again.
If I were that outstanding, I definitely would have the courage to face Lin Mo...
You've always been so great, Jiebao. Don't cry. If you cry today, that yellow-haired fox will get his way.
However, Hu Yu'en was also quite pitiful, her heart twisted with excessive tears and anguish.
We can't let Jiebao see her, otherwise Hu Yu'en might lose control of her emotions and explode, which would be harmful to both of them, resulting in a chain reaction of explosions.
[Go cry...]
[Why would I come over if you weren't going to cry...? He kissed you, he stole a kiss from you, and Li Qingran was right next to him. Can't you see how obvious it is? Aren't you going to cry?]
[Li Qingran followed along, tsk, so annoying... Ya Jie, why are you being so strong? Don't cry, I'm going to cry... Mom already found out I ran away... I'm going to get yelled at to death...]
The little fox's inner thoughts continued unabated, even more intense than Jiebao's.
He'll be busy soon.
After wandering around a few more times, 100 jin of flour cost 50 yuan, oranges cost 10 yuan, and since Ranbao had been carrying two cantaloupes for a long time and had grown attached to them, we decided to buy those too.
With only a dozen or so dollars left in the budget,
I bought matching hair clips for both girls. Jiebao put them on with a smile, but the smile still looked a bit forced.
Li Qingran was initially happy, but after seeing that Chen Yajie's was the same as hers, the light in her eyes dimmed for some reason, and in the end she insisted on exchanging it for one that was different from Jie Bao's.
[The hair clips...are so cute! Did you give one to each of the girls...Lin Mo, you really treat everyone equally!]
Hearing Hu Yu'en's dark, unspoken complaints behind her back,
Lin Mo hid his hand, and before leaving, he grabbed an extra hair clip, which brought him to exactly one hundred yuan. He explained to the two girls that he wore one too.
After paying at the checkout counter, the cashier, who looked like she hadn't woken up properly, took the money.
"I'll take your 100 yuan, and you can enter the lottery twice..."
"Why isn't it a ring toss game anymore?"
"Oh, there was this kid who went too far... he kept winning whatever he tried, it scared our boss so much that we changed the game mode overnight..."
The cashier looked up and saw Chen Yajie, thinking, "Another cute girl, wearing the same school uniform as those two abstract-looking young couples from last time..."
"But the new rebate model has even better prizes! You can draw a prize in this box, and the grand prize is a mobile phone..."
Seeing the cute girl, the cashier perked up and explained, but then she remembered that the person who had just spoken to her was a boy, and his voice sounded strangely familiar...
Turning her head, she saw Lin Mo and Li Qingran standing beside her... Her eyes widened instantly, and she became clear-headed.
"Holy crap!" She slammed her hand on the cash register, nearly flying, and cursed, "It's you guys, the abstract ring toss duo!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Li Qingran tilted her head in confusion.
The cashier's heart melted again; she clutched her chest and fell off the counter.
Even when facing this girl's head tilt for the second time, despite giving it his all, he still couldn't defeat her!
No, it wasn't about going all out, nor was it that she couldn't win; she suddenly realized.
This lottery isn't a ring toss game anymore; it's all about luck. Even the most skilled players wouldn't stand a chance!
Wait, why is it a threesome this time?
He has such a cute little girlfriend and he still betrays her? Waaaaah, this little girl is so cute, so cute, so cute! Seriously? Did this guy fool her completely?
Two-timing? Is it like he won a girlfriend in a ring toss game?! Isn't that child abduction? Should we call the police?!
Thinking this to herself, the young woman suddenly looked at Lin Mo, gritting her teeth, almost blushing.
"We're classmates, we came out to buy things together," Lin Mo said awkwardly, seeing through her thoughts.
"Uh, yes, yes...we're classmates..." Chen Yajie, equally understanding, came to Lin Mo's rescue.
Jiebao is so gentle, I'm so happy.
"Just classmates... Lin Mo, were you saying that to me, or to Qing Ran?"
Is this another hint at me? What about those before... and what about me...?
Hearing the girl's frail and sickly voice, Lin Mo was truly heartbroken.
Resolve this quickly.
What are the odds of winning the first prize?
"I don't know, you figure it out yourself." The cashier looked at him with disdain.
"There were two hundred slips of paper in the box. One was for the first prize, three were for the second prize, thirty were for the third prize, and the rest were consolation prizes."
"Auntie, what's the second prize?"
