Chapter 53 Encountering an Old Acquaintance While Shopping

"Big brother, how about... I share half of the money with you to calm your nerves?"

Feng Jingling, who was only pretending to be jealous, naturally wouldn't accept Yun Xia's money. She shook her head and said, "No need. I'll take you to the mall to buy new clothes tomorrow. Don't refuse, okay? And remember the braised pork you owe me."

After saying that, she walked away with an arrogant gait.

Tonight at dinner, Yunxia was forced to eat four red eggs. When Aunt Wu handed her the fifth one, she felt like throwing up. Jiang Chao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he snatched the red egg away and gave it to his younger brother.

A bewildered Jiang An thought: I knew it! I would never get to eat the food my brother likes!

Snap!

The little boy cracked a red egg on his forehead, creating a net-like pattern of cracks. As he peeled the egg, he muttered complaints about his older brother.

After dinner, Yunxia was sent back to her room to sleep before she even had a chance to watch a classic martial arts drama. However, she was not sleepy at all, so she simply entered the Liangtian Space to pick vegetables and fruits.

"Phew, production has dropped significantly; I'm afraid the plantation will have to close down."

Secretly comparing whether maintaining the yield of the old plants or reseeding was more cost-effective, Yunxia decisively decided to pull up the plants that had been sown before the new year.

Strangely enough, according to the 10:1 time flow rate, the vegetables planted before the New Year should have withered and died long ago. But the fertile fields in the space cannot be explained by common sense, and Yunxia was too lazy to think about the reasons.

After finishing this batch, Yunxia wiped the sweat from her forehead, rested for a while, and then started weeding.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, pulling up radishes, heave-ho, heave-ho, pulling up radishes~"

While humming a little tune, he finished his plucking and was about to return when he was stunned by the scene before him.

"Hey, where are the vegetable stalks I picked?"

With a wary look in her eyes, Yunxia glanced around but found no suspicious species. She kept a straight face, pretending nothing had happened, and bent down to continue picking. However, this time she was more careful and threw the vegetable stalks in front of her for observation.

Three seconds after landing, the vegetable stalks vanished into nothingness, leaving the little girl wide-eyed in astonishment.

After several attempts, Yunxia figured out the pattern: the vegetable stalks would only turn into nothingness when they hit the ground; if held in her hand, they wouldn't change for several minutes.

"According to the law of conservation of energy, how do vegetable stalks exist after they turn to nothingness?"

Yunxia continued to pluck the seeds with questions in mind, and half an hour later, she figured out the answer—it existed in the form of green energy.

Look at this dense, almost dripping green mist, it's hard not to guess what it's all about.

Snap!

A drop of emerald green water fell onto the little girl's fair forehead with a soft sound.

A bewildered Yunxia: Hiss, could it be that my mouth is blessed?

Snap! Snap!

"It's...it's raining?"

Upon seeing green rain for the first time, Yunxia was filled with curiosity. She glanced at the plant with its swaying leaves welcoming the raindrops and, thinking of the side effect of drowsiness, realized that 'green aura' and 'green rain' were incomparable. She quickly withdrew her focus.

"Xiaxia, did you have a nightmare?"

Seeing her body suddenly convulse, Wu Lifang asked worriedly.

Yunxia, ​​who was not fully conscious, mumbled a few words, turned over, and fell fast asleep.

Seeing her sleeping soundly, Wu Lifang smiled helplessly, thinking to herself that she was still just a child, her emotions came and went quickly.

The next morning, after breakfast, Feng Jingling brought up the matter of shopping for clothes at the mall again.

"Okay, let me comb my hair first."

"Ah Chao, An An, you two should go too. I'll pay for it, one set each."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang'an shook his head vigorously, "I'm not going, teacher, you can just take one."

"That won't do. Whether the clothes fit or not, whether you like the style or not, you have to pick them out in person."

Little Jiang An clung to his older brother's leg, his wet eyes filled with pleading. He wanted new clothes, but he didn't want to go out.

No one knows a younger brother better than his older brother. Jiang Chao patted his head and said helplessly, "I'll go, I'll choose for him!"

If you can't invite your apprentice, inviting your older brother is also excellent. Feng Jingling once again smiled like a sunflower.

In Jiangcheng, at the Puhui Department Store, the three of them wandered around while munching on ice cream.

People who go shopping on weekends are generally from slightly better-off families, dressed simply, with handsome faces. Jiang Chao, who is limping, is naturally the focus of the crowd, but their gazes are more or less mixed with disdain and pity.

"Jiang Chao, just be yourself..."

"Stop it, huh? Them? I don't care about them at all."

Having seen that look countless times since childhood, Jiang Chao's heart was already fortified with iron walls, and he wasn't afraid at all!

"Ah Chao, Little Butterfly, look, there's a dance machine! Let's go play, and whoever loses treats."

After saying that, he grabbed their hands and rushed to the dance machine. After exchanging coins and inserting them, he started dancing to the beat.

Yunxia: Ouch, this dance moves look like a... wriggling maggot!

"What are you standing there for? Come on over!"

Overwhelmed by excitement, the husky failed to notice the disdain in the eyes of the two people.

"No, I'm limping, I can't jump."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingling pouted and made a pitiful expression, looking like a little girl who would cry on the spot if she said no. Yun Xia had no choice but to agree.

Her dance moves were light and graceful, her timing precise, and her movements and rhythm were exactly the same as the person on the screen, which surprised Feng Jingling so much that she made a series of mistakes and almost twisted her ankle.

"Little butterfly, you... are actually a dancing expert?"

Yun Xia, who has won the marketing department's dance championship for three consecutive years, casually flicked her bangs and said, "Yeah, I know so many! Big brother, do you admit defeat?"

"Yes, of course I acknowledge it!"

Afterwards, the two danced for quite a while before reluctantly leaving the dance machine at Jiang Chao's urging. As soon as they reached the clothing area, they heard the extremely familiar, ear-piercing screams.

"Hey, the clothes don't fit, why won't you give me a refund? Do you want me to complain to the store manager?!"

"I'm sorry, miss, there are stains on the collar. According to regulations, we cannot process a return or exchange for you. We hope you can understand."

*Smack!* The girl slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "This whole mall belongs to my family! You're just a salesperson, do you even know who you're talking to?"

Yunxia's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Feng Jingling, whose face was ashen. Before she could even ask any gossip, he stormed over to her.

He raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that there was going to be a good show.

"Ms. Huang, you will be held legally responsible for wantonly defaming someone's reputation!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the girl immediately beamed with joy, ran forward, and took his arm, saying haughtily, "Brother Feng is Young Master Pu Hui, who specially accompanied me shopping. What are you waiting for? Let's go return these clothes!"

The professionally trained salesperson stood still, staring respectfully at Feng Jingling, as if seeking his opinion.

The boy pushed Huang Chengcheng away, brushed his arm away in disgust, and when he saw her about to take his arm again, he immediately put his hands behind his back.

"Miss Huang, I have no relation to you whatsoever. Please have some self-respect."

His attitude suddenly changed, and he said kindly to the salesperson, "You did the right thing. I'll have the store manager give you a bonus as encouragement. Let me see the clothes."

The girl stomped her feet in anger, and said coquettishly, "Brother Feng, how could you treat me like this?"
