I could feel Xixi tighten her grip on my arm.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're comrades!"
"How can a comrade-in-arms abandon his comrade!"
"Comrade Xiaoxi's awareness is still not high enough. It seems necessary to give her a kiss and a verbal reprimand!"
After saying that, Xixi pouted and was about to kiss me on the face.
How could I let Xixi's schemes succeed like this?
"Hey! What kind of demon are you, possessing our little fairy Xixi?"
"I'll show you your true colors! Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
I reached out and started tickling Xixi.
Xixi couldn't dodge in time, and I succeeded.
Xixi, tickled, burst into laughter:
"No~ Haha~ I surrender~ Hahahahaha"
"I can feel Xiao Xi's awareness, she's so enthusiastic~ Hahahaha~!"
I grinned mischievously, and seeing Xixi like this, I felt a warmth in my heart. It feels so good to have someone by my side!
Xixi and I wandered around the mall for a long time, and finally I found a belt that I liked, which I plan to give to Uncle Ma later.
Xixi chose a finely crafted folding fan.
She said she had seen the older man sitting in an electric massage chair with a broken fan, and she thought of getting him a new one.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized it's true. It seems that Xixi's attention to detail is indeed better than mine.
After leaving the mall, we came to a pedestrian street.
Feeling a bit tired from shopping, we found a cafe on the street and sat down.
Xixi and I each ordered a latte and a small cake.
I sat by the window, enjoying the scenery outside.
People come and go on the street, and vehicles shuttle back and forth. At this moment, life seems to stand still.
We're just watching a movie; after all, this leisure time is the space that life leaves for us.
I don't know how much time passed in the coffee shop, but Xixi and I seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
"Xiao Xi, are you really sure about this?"
"You've worked hard for two years to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam. Don't you think it would be a pity to give up now?"
I picked up my coffee cup, took a small sip, and tasted a bit bitter.
"To be honest, if I give up on taking the postgraduate entrance exam, I might regret it for many years."
"But if I miss this opportunity, I might regret it for the rest of my life."
"A person's life is a journey of choices, and I witnessed something I had never seen before in my life."
"I will never forget that feeling in my entire life!"
"There may still be dangers, but I want to go crazy just this once, I'm willing to risk everything!"
Xixi probably thought I was taking it too seriously, and she even stood there stunned.
Xixi's eyes widened: "Xiaoxi, this is the first time I've seen you like this."
"I support you! Our Xiaoxi is the best!"
"No matter when, when you need me, I will always be by your side!"
At that moment, tears slowly slid down my cheeks without me even noticing.
I raised my arm and extended my little finger: "It's a deal."
Xixi also stretched out her little hand: "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years, whoever changes is a Shiba Inu!"
When I heard Xixi's promise, I burst out laughing.
Xixi rolled her big eyes around, then scratched her head: "Wait a minute, you haven't told me what you promised me!"
"Does this mean I'll be the only one who'll be a Shiba Inu?"
"Ahhh~ Xiaoxi, you're teasing me again!"
"Hmph, this fairy is angry, and not a single kiss... no... not two kisses, not two kisses that can't appease her!"
I looked at Xixi, who had turned her head away and was pouting, and I couldn't help but poke her cheek with my finger.
"Okay, okay, no... [The vast horizon is my love, endless and tender~~]"
My phone rang, and I picked it up from the table. Seeing it was Uncle Ma calling, I quickly answered.
"Hey, Uncle Ma, are you back?"
Uncle Ma's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ah, you're back. Come to the shop with that girl."
"Okay, Xixi and I will head over now."
She hung up the phone and put it in her bag: "Xixi, let's go."
Xixi nodded and stood up as well.
We didn't choose to walk back because we were already very tired, and walking would waste a lot of time, so we opted to call a taxi.
In less than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of Uncle Ma's shop.
Xixi and I walked into the shop and found Uncle Ma drinking tea in a massage chair.
Xixi and I were immediately speechless. Did they have to be so nonchalant? We just got back and they've already served us tea.
Is this the joy of approaching old age?
I took the box containing the belt from the shopping bag and handed it to Uncle Ma:
"Uncle Ma, thank you for your previous help and care. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it without hesitation."
Uncle Ma sat up, glanced at the belt on the table, and laughed:
"Hehe, okay, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll need it when I travel far in the future."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, girl. I really like the gift."
Hearing Uncle Ma say that, I felt relieved.
Based on this shop, the things in the yard, and the fees he received for doing favors for others, Uncle Ma is not short of money.
I was worried that Uncle Ma would look down on my cheap gift.
