“Xiangxiang, are you sure?”
Ning Wanqiu looked at Huai Xiang somewhat speechlessly.
Leaving aside whether it was good-looking or ugly, that thing…
Wasn’t it a bit too big?
It was taller than An Yu…
If Huai Xiang really bought it, how would she take it away?
But at this moment, Huai Xiang’s mind was already clouded with impulse.
She was incredibly anxious, feeling that if she didn’t buy it now, it would be snatched by the bad woman.
If that happened, the consequences would be unthinkable!
“Mm mm, sure sure, Wanqiu, please!”
Huai Xiang nodded: “Just help me cover the shortfall, I’ll pay the rest, and return it to you soon!”
Huai Xiang grabbed Ning Wanqiu’s arm, her eyes flickering with pleading.
Looking at Huai Xiang like this, Ning Wanqiu was a bit helpless.
She could only look at Cheng Shimumeng, hoping she would stop playing around.
Being stared at by Ning Wanqiu, Cheng Shimumeng smiled.
Unexpectedly, she nodded and actually agreed.
“Alright alright, stop pestering Wanqiu to borrow money. Everything I said earlier was lying to you~”
Standing behind Huai Xiang, Cheng Shimumeng slowly spoke, still with that somewhat mischievous smile on her face.
“I didn’t ask, and no one said that thing is cute oh?”
Huai Xiang twisted her head, suspiciously looking at Cheng Shimumeng.
Yuck, with that smile, only a ghost would believe her!
Huai Xiang decisively turned back, continuing to beg Ning Wanqiu: “Wanqiu Wanqiu, my good Wanqiu, this is my request of a lifetime, please Wanqiu god, lend me a hand, I really want that!”
Seeing this, Cheng Shimumeng shrugged at Ning Wanqiu—this wasn’t her not helping; if Huai Xiang doesn’t believe, then she couldn’t do anything about it.
Ning Wanqiu was completely out of ideas. Her mouth twitched, only hoping Huai Xiang wouldn’t be pitted too badly.
“Then… I can lend you, but don’t regret it later oh…”
She still tried one last effort, hoping Huai Xiang would understand—this was all a conspiracy, a trap set by capital!
“Yay!”
Huai Xiang cheered with raised arms. Regret? How could she possibly regret?
She pulled Ning Wanqiu and ran to check the price of that huge mascot, then immediately paid, not giving Cheng Shimumeng even the slightest chance!
Huai Xiang didn’t notice at all that Cheng Shimumeng had no intention of competing with her, instead always smiling and watching the show from the side.
To be honest, even though she had mentally prepared, Ning Wanqiu was still surprised by the price of this thing.
It was a full four figures.
It felt like even the store clerk wouldn’t expect some silly high school girl to buy this.
Although Ning Wanqiu reminded her multiple times, Huai Xiang showed no suspicion at all.
Instead, she thought this was exactly the gift Cheng Shimumeng planned to give An Yu—this price already explained everything!
She paid without hesitation, then hugged the doll taller than herself and returned to Cheng Shimumeng’s side to show off.
“Hmph hmph, Shimumeng, your plan is foiled. Now, I bought it!”
Cheng Shimumeng looked at her comical appearance, subconsciously covering her mouth, shoulders shrugging up and down.
“Hmph hmph hmph, no use being sad. Bad women deserve to be punished!”
Huai Xiang forcefully peered through the huge doll, saw Cheng Shimumeng’s state, and mistook it for sadness.
But in reality, she was holding back laughter desperately.
“Oh.”
Cheng Shimumeng’s voice trembled a bit, as if enduring great difficulty.
But this made Huai Xiang think she was even sadder, so she became more proud.
Seeing the two in this state, Ning Wanqiu’s eyelids drooped slightly.
She speechlessly glanced at Cheng Shimumeng, signaling her not to overdo it, then prepared to leave.
“Sigh, you two continue picking. I’m going over there to the claw machines oh?”
After saying that, she glanced at Huai Xiang hugging the huge doll, looking somewhat disheveled.
Although the kids were very worrying, Ning Wanqiu wasn’t really their mom—she was just an ordinary high schooler, could only try her best not to let these two naughty ones fight each other.
“Ahem, Wanqiu you go. Don’t worry, with me here, I’ll accompany her to buy gifts!”
Huai Xiang said confidently.
Ning Wanqiu immediately looked speechlessly at Huai Xiang.
The one I’m worried about is you ah.
But whatever, Cheng Shimumeng should have played enough today, probably… no problem right?
“Then I’m going.”
After saying that, Ning Wanqiu directly left.
She really needed to claw; even for a top expert, clawing so many would take time.
Seeing Ning Wanqiu leave, Cheng Shimumeng also fell silent.
She acted somewhat dejected, aimlessly searching.
But after a long time, she still hadn’t found a suitable target.
While Huai Xiang hugged this huge doll—although her posture looked very awkward, she was quite happy.
After all, snatching food from the tiger’s mouth—who wouldn’t want to show off a bit?
“Shimumeng, taking a stroll here? Aiya, how could someone not think of what to give?”
So, she followed behind Cheng Shimumeng like this, occasionally mocking with such a sentence.
Really so happy and joyful ah!
Every time she mocked, Cheng Shimumeng would turn back to look at her.
Although Huai Xiang couldn’t clearly see her expression, it must be very unhappy right!
Hmph hmph, just like this!
Finally getting her revenge, and she still had to thank An Yu—worthy of being a little angel, actually giving her such a good opportunity!
Huai Xiang followed all the way like this, and mocked all the way.
In the end, Cheng Shimumeng also didn’t buy a desired gift.
And the sky had already darkened; today was about it.
On the other side, Ning Wanqiu who went to claw dolls also quickly returned, at this time fully loaded with gains.
Except for the one with the little cucumber, she had clawed all the other nine, planning to give them together to An Yu as gifts.
“Wanqiu, here here!”
Huai Xiang forcefully shouted, but she already completely couldn’t free her hands.
Long-term training made her not tired from this little thing, but this thing was too big—she hugging it somewhat blocked the view, posture also a bit twisted.
Ning Wanqiu somewhat awkwardly jogged over. She really wanted to say, no need to call—she could see.
After all, this doll was really eye-catching; besides Huai Xiang, no one would buy it.
“Hm.”
“Hehe, Wanqiu, did you buy your gift?”
Huai Xiang giggled foolishly, casually asked, clearly asking Ning Wanqiu but with implication.
Ning Wanqiu somewhat helplessly glanced at Huai Xiang blocked by the giant doll, casually replied: “Bought it.”
“Aiya, then who is it that still hasn’t bought yet?”
Huai Xiang wanted to continue mocking.
Clearly mocked many times already, but just didn’t get tired of it.
And, unusually, today’s Cheng Shimumeng completely didn’t retort—don’t know what’s up.
Could it be that having her gift snatched really made her that sad?
What Huai Xiang didn’t know was, every time she mocked Cheng Shimumeng, Cheng Shimumeng suffered greatly.
After all, holding back laughter is really too hard…
Ning Wanqiu helplessly glanced at the two who were making endless noise: “Time’s up, let’s go first.”
“Okay.”
“Oh oh!”
