Due to financial pressure, Sisi ultimately failed to buy her beloved high heels and instead bought a pair of color-blocked flip-flops for thirteen yuan.

She took the last two one-yuan bills from Si Jingxuan, folded them neatly, and put them into her small bag. "This is our last savings. I'll keep them safe. Thank you for your hard work, brother~~~"

Si Jingxuan: "..."

She speaks better than she sings.

Ha~ I'd like to see what you're planning to buy with two yuan.

Qi Huanhuan had ten yuan left, not enough to buy high heels, but luckily she was reliable and bought a pair of platform slippers for exactly ten yuan. Chu Chu was in a "misery" situation, with only five yuan. What could she buy?

The little guy, like a tiny penguin, waddled between several shoe stalls, exclaiming, "These pairs are so cute!"

"Those pairs look good too~"

"Sigh~ Chu Chu is out of money~~~"

The little guy, his chubby cheeks drooping pitifully, glanced at a pair of shoes with uneven surfaces, covered in smooth, rounded bumps, in various colors—red and white flip-flops. "Uncle, how much are these shoes?" he asked.

The male shop owner held up two fingers and replied, "Little friend, these are massage shoes, they cost twenty yuan."

Chu Chu pinched her chubby cheeks and acted cute: "!!! Waaaaah~ I only have five yuan left~~~"

The shop owner was amused by Chuchu's adorable appearance, squatted down in front of her, and said kindly, "Little girl, do you really like these shoes? Who are you buying them for?"

"Chuchu wants to buy shoes for Mommy~~~ Chuchu's Mommy is so pretty~~~" The little one was exceptionally proud, shaking her little head and letting her little tuft of hair flutter gracefully.

Boss: "What a kind-hearted child!"

Chu Chu tilted her head, her chubby little hands pressing down on her round face, distorting it to reveal two big, bright, round eyes. She said shyly, "Mmm~ Chu Chu is so kind~~~"

Lin Muze picked out a pair of black pointed-toe shoes for Yu Qingqing. He had ten yuan left, so he walked over and asked Chu Chu, "Chu Chu, are you really going to buy these shoes for Aunt Lan?"

"Mmm," the little one pointed emphatically at her chubby double chin, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "Chuchu wants to buy these shoes, these shoes are rainbow colors~~~"

Colorful rainbow colors, yes, that's it, look how good her taste is!

Seeing that the little guy was determined, Lin Muze couldn't help but remind him, "But these shoes aren't flat, and your feet will hurt a bit if you walk in them."

"Hmm~~~" Chu Chu furrowed her pale eyebrows, pressed her chubby little hands against the slippers a few times, raised her plump face to reveal a set of tender white teeth, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Chu Chu doesn't hurt, okay? Buy these for Mommy~~~"

Lin Muze ruffled Chu Chu's little pigtails. "Okay."

You're the cutest, whatever you say goes.

The shop owner, a muscular man in his fifties, found the interaction between the two quite amusing and kept chuckling. When Chu Chu looked at him again, he offered a concession, "How about this, little friend, I'll sell you these shoes for ten yuan?"

Ten yuan?

It seems...okay!

Chu Chu looked at Lin Muze with a blank expression. She knew that money was good because it could buy a lot of things, but she wasn't good with specific numbers. She only knew the difference between expensive and inexpensive.

Lin Muze nodded to her and said to the shopkeeper, "Uncle, please wrap up these shoes. I'll pay for them."
