"Chu Chu!" the girl called Chu Chu's name gently in a raised voice.

"Sister Lu Yan~ Mommy, it's Sister Lu Yan~~~" Chu Chu immediately nimbly slid off Lan Qingyue's back and ran towards Lu Yan with light steps.

"Sister Lan." Lu Yan greeted Lan Qingyue.

Lan Qingyue hung the dress back up. "Ayan, you're back so soon!"

She thought the little girl would definitely spend the whole day shopping.

"I'll come back after I get the notice and buy some things, otherwise it's too hot outside and uncomfortable to stay here."

She only goes shopping for an hour or two, and goes straight home after buying what she needs. She would never wander around outside without spending any money.

"By the way, I heard you didn't realize you left the door unlocked at noon."

"Yes, Sister Lu Yan, Auntie came to look for us too~~~"

Chu Chu's chubby arms wrapped around Lu Yan's thigh, her little fat face pressed obediently against the fabric of her pants. Lu Yan was wearing a beige shirt and black wide-leg pants. The fabric of the wide-leg pants was cool and refreshing, and Chu Chu, this clever little chubby girl, completely used Lu Yan's pants as a "fan".

Lu Yan raised her hand and ruffled Chu Chu's soft hair, saying softly, "I heard you made dumplings for me?"

"Yes, yes~~~" Chu Chu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her chubby double chin incredibly cute. "Sister Lu Yan, are the dumplings delicious? Mommy and I made them together~~~"

"Delicious! The dumplings are really delicious. Thank you, Chuchu. Thank you, Sister Lan."

"You're welcome~~~" The little guy blushed slightly at the praise, raised his chubby face, and nuzzled Lu Yan's palm with his head. "Sister Yan, look, we're selling clothes! Isn't that amazing~~~"

Even though they didn't sell a single piece of clothing, it was still impressive because their dresses were prettier than the ones the aunties next to them were selling.

Lan Qingyue added, "This is Chu Chu and my task for this afternoon."

Lu Yan chuckled, "No wonder I saw that the owner of a small shop outside had changed. So it's your new mission. How's it going?"

Lu Yan seemed to be talking more and less guarded. She wasn't aloof at all; in fact, she was a very cute girl.

Lan Qingyue pointed to the neatly hung clothes, shrugged, and said helplessly, "It started at 2:30, and I don't know how much time has passed, but we haven't sold a single item. Sigh..."

"Twenty minutes have passed." Lu Yan put down her phone, looked around, and saw that the clothes at the other shops weren't particularly nice either, but they all had one or two customers. In contrast, Lan Qingyue's shop didn't have a single customer. It was indeed a rather pitiful situation. "How about I help you?"

"Huh?" Lan Qingyue was a little surprised. Lu Yan was indeed very different today. After going out, she seemed much more cheerful. Could it be because she was accepted by her desired school, so she was in a good mood?

Lu Yan's words refuted Lan Qingyue's guess: "I went to a vocational high school and I really like fashion. I studied fashion design for three years, so I think I can be of help."

"Oh, that's great, thank you so much!" Lan Qingyue was pleasantly surprised by Lu Yan's help. Although she and Lu Yan had the same major, Lu Yan wasn't a local and always spoke rather reservedly. For example, the shop owner next door would call out to anyone passing by, "Hey girl, buying clothes? Come take a look! These are freshly arrived this morning, they'll suit you perfectly!" Lan Qingyue would feel shy saying those things.
