Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Candy: "What Does That Mean?
The bustling avenue in Huo County is the most bustling street in the county, second only to Candy Technology South Gate, and it’s still an old street.
On weekends, the street is filled with crowds.
With schools on vacation, a large number of students flooding in adds a youthful vibe to the old street.
Inside a clothing store, Mo Jingchun is accompanying Li Xuanyu as she picks out clothes.
The clothing store isn’t any famous brand, just an ordinary shop, and the clothes aren’t very expensive.
Mo Jingchun, true to his name, and with a bodyguard, was naturally recognized by the shop owner at first glance.
To the shop owner, today seemed like a good day to make a small profit.
But once the beauty chose her clothes, the shop owner realized she had met a formidable opponent today.
Li Xuanyu, maintaining a smile, confidently said, "Boss, this jacket for 60 bucks, I’ll take it."
"Beauty, the purchase price of this clothes is over a hundred..."
At this moment, Li Xuanyu’s phone rang.
For a moment, both women stopped bargaining by mutual understanding.
Li Xuanyu took out her phone from the bag and looked, then glanced with a peculiar expression at Mo Jingchun sitting on the leather chair.
Mo Jingchun was taken aback by Li Xuanyu’s stare.
"What’s up?"
Li Xuanyu chuckled and said, "It’s a call from Candy."
Upon hearing this, the corner of Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched slightly.
This kid, unable to reach him, thought of calling Li Xuanyu. Quite... resourceful.
It’s just past nine o’clock, why is Candy up already?
Ignoring Mo Jingchun’s expression, Li Xuanyu answered Candy’s call.
A call from the little sister-in-law must not be ignored.
"Hello, Candy." Hearing Li Xuanyu talk more gently than to him, Mo Jingchun turned his head to the side.
Before long, Li Xuanyu chuckled and, following the little sister-in-law’s instructions, turned on the speakerphone.
"Stinky brother, not taking me out to play is one thing, but not answering my call is another. I’m going to be mad."
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"Brother, I’m telling you, I’m mad... And the consequences are serious! Nothing but milk tea can make it better."
Mo Jingchun grinned, "You just want milk tea."
Exposed, Candy didn’t know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Zhou Yaling’s voice came through the phone.
"Bro, remember to bring sister-in-law back for lunch at noon, I’m about to start cooking."
With the word "sister-in-law," Li Xuanyu’s face turned red.
"Sis, why are you taking my watch?"
"Oh no... Brother, don’t forget..."
The next moment, beep beep beep~ The phone line was busy.
"Ahem, let’s buy some whole milk later, I’ll make milk tea."
Mo Jingchun looked at Li Xuanyu in surprise, not expecting her to have this skill.
"That’s great, I was just worried that drinking too much from milk tea shops isn’t good for Candy’s growth."
The next second, Li Xuanyu resumed bargaining with the shop owner.
The way she haggled awakened long-lost memories in Mo Jingchun.
He had experienced the same kind of bargaining, except he was the one being bargained against.
For the livelihood of the people, to make leukemia specialty drugs affordable, those negotiation skills were something Mo Jingchun had never seen before.
Netizens dubbed it spiritual bargaining.
Each strike truly hit home.
Under Li Xuanyu’s persuasive words, two jackets and one pair of pants, Mo Jingchun ended up paying 153 yuan voluntarily.
Li Xuanyu originally wanted the shop owner to round down the number, but the owner’s face darkened, seeing which, Mo Jingchun couldn’t stand it anymore, got up and paid directly.
Once the money was received, the owner’s face relaxed quite a bit.
After leaving the clothing store, Mo Jingchun said with admiration, "You girls are really something, unlike us guys, we usually just pay whatever the store asks, so we prefer to go to places with clearly marked prices."
The bodyguards following behind Mo Jingchun and Li Xuanyu nodded in agreement.
Bargaining doesn’t suit guys, but after being ripped off once, the store will find itself blacklisted.
Shopping is an energy-consuming activity, being a high-intensity exercise, after a morning of it, Mo Jingchun was almost out of energy on the way back.
As for whole milk, no surprise... it wasn’t bought.
There are still two boxes at home, no need to buy more.
When Mo Jingchun brought Li Xuanyu home, Candy was squatting in the yard, holding Little Grey’s left front paw tightly with her right hand.
In front of Little Grey was a stainless steel basin, containing rice mixed with meat broth.
Originally, there was meat, but Little Grey ate the meat and stopped eating.
Hence the scene of Candy holding onto Little Grey.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing her brother’s voice from behind, Candy happily let go of Little Grey and turned to look at her brother’s... hands.
Left hand—empty.
Right hand—empty.
The smile on Candy’s face gradually froze.
Where’s the promised milk tea? Where’s the milk tea?
"Where’s my milk tea?"
"Didn’t buy it."
In response, Candy bit her lip but didn’t cry.
"Don’t tease her."
At this moment, Li Xuanyu pinched Candy’s cheek and said with a smile, "Your brother was teasing you, sister can make milk tea, I’ll make a whole pot for you later."
Sparkle sparkle, eyes full of little stars.
Candy looked at Li Xuanyu with admiration.
Sister Xuanyu can actually make milk tea, she’s the big golden leg, Candy decided, she must hold onto sister Xuanyu’s big leg tightly!
Aside, Mo Jingchun pointed at the bowl of rice and curiously asked, "How did you end up feeding Little Grey rice? Little Grey’s mouth is spoiled, will it eat rice?"
The little one glanced inside the house, seeing that her sister wasn’t there, she whispered, "Brother, let me tell you quietly, sister didn’t cook the rice properly this morning, it’s still raw."
"See, even with meat broth, Little Grey won’t eat it."
Rendered speechless, Mo Jingchun paused before managing to say something.
"Your sister is really a cow flying an airplane."
"What do you mean?"
"Awesome all the way to the sky."
Candy scratched her head and said, "Brother, why are you and sister saying things that are hard to understand today?"
Mo Jingchun asked in surprise, "Oh? What did your sister say?"
Under Mo Jingchun and Li Xuanyu’s gaze, Candy thought for a moment before speaking.
"Got it."
"Cooked the rice too early—turned out undercooked."
This remark left Mo Jingchun momentarily stupefied, and then he burst into laughter: "Your sister is quite something."
Putting down their things, the aroma led Mo Jingchun and Li Xuanyu curiously to the kitchen, naturally followed by little Candy.
Entering the kitchen, both looked at the large bowl of rice.
In the plain kitchen, a bowl of rice was indeed eye-catching.
"Yo, you’re back."
Mo Jingchun coldly retorted unceremoniously, "Yo, the undercooked rice hasn’t been dealt with yet?"
