"I want you to come with me to get my ears pierced." Zhen Tian stuck out her tongue. "Qingyan and I made plans to go together, but I want you to come with me. I'm a little scared. I heard they'll knock out a piece of flesh."
She shrank back and snuggled closer to him.
"Why do you suddenly want to get your ears pierced?" Ji Yuzhi stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth.
"Because the girls on TV look so pretty wearing earrings. I want to buy some too..." She opened her mouth and took a piece of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside braised pork.
Zhen Tian has become obsessed with girl group audition programs these past few days, which is why she gave Ye Qingyan the earrings as a gift.
"Will you stay with me?" she whined sweetly.
"good."
Ji Yuzhi couldn't stand this, and at times like this, he would do whatever Zhen Tian said.
Lu Ti ate her meal silently, refusing a large mouthful of dog food from her daughter.
Sometimes she really felt that having a mother like her was a blessing for any daughter.
After receiving Ye Qingyan's call, Zhen Tian put down her chopsticks and pulled Ji Yuzhi outside.
"Finish your meal before you leave!" Lu Ti said helplessly.
"No, Mom, we'll have some snacks while we're out..."
Zhen Tian quickly changed into a dress, put on her favorite fluffy sandals, and went out the door.
Ji Yuzhi took the car keys that Lu Ti had given him and drove Zhen Tian to the mall to meet Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan stood at the mall entrance, swaying back and forth with two ice creams in her hands, waiting for her friends to arrive. She was so excited that she couldn't wait to put on her earrings. For this occasion, she even wore a dress that matched the earrings that Tian Tian had given her.
"Hey pretty girl, can I have your WeChat?" A guy dressed in trendy clothes walked over, holding a phone with a QR code on the screen.
Ye Qingyan glanced at the boy up and down, then rolled her eyes: "Has no one ever told you not to use those extremely vulgar words, 'beautiful lady,' when you're trying to pick someone up?"
The boy was dumbfounded.
"No, goodbye."
Ye Qingyan turned slightly to the side. The main thing was that the boy was dressed well, but he was a bit ugly. Nothing else mattered, being ugly was unacceptable.
"Qingyan!" Zhen Tian waved to Ye Qingyan as soon as she got out of the car.
The boy's eyes lit up; yet another pretty girl.
Ye Qingyan looked over and discovered that there was a little tail following behind the sisters.
"Stop thinking about it. Can't you see the man behind you? How do you think you can compare to such a high-quality man?" Ye Qingyan rolled her eyes again.
"Why did you bring Brother Ji here?" Ye Qingyan handed the newly released sea salt flavored ice cream to Zhen Tian and whispered in her ear.
"I'm scared!" Zhen Tian licked her lips and stood there waiting for Ji Yuzhi to park the car.
"Alright!"
Ye Qingyan pouted; she was about to be fed dog food again.
When Ji Yuzhi walked over, he noticed a man next to Ye Qingyan: "Do you know him?"
He subtly pulled Zhen Tian aside, worried that she might be in danger, and casually put the car keys in his pocket.
The boy fell silent as soon as he saw Ji Yuzhi's face. He shook his head and slunk away.
"Tsk, the quality of boys these days is really not that good." Ye Qingyan clicked her tongue twice.
"Hmm?" Zhen Tian licked her ice cream, looking at Ye Qingyan with an innocent expression.
"It's nothing, it's nothing to do with you." Ye Qingyan turned her head away.
"I know, that guy wanted to chat you up, I understand," Zhen Tian retorted.
"Yes, yes, you understand." Ye Qingyan replied casually, "Let's go, I've already checked. There's a cosmetics store inside that does ear piercings, lots of good reviews, and they say it doesn't hurt. Let's go quickly."
She ate the last bite of ice cream and then crunched the cone away.
Zhen Tian copied her, saying, "It's so cold."
But the cold gave me a headache.
"Spit it out." Ji Yuzhi reached out and put his hand to Tian Tian's lips.
"No." Zhen Tian swallowed with difficulty: "It's disgusting to throw it up."
"Silly girl, what if it gets too cold?" Ji Yuzhi pinched her earlobe.
No, it won't.
Zhen Tian placed Ji Yuzhi's warm hand on her forehead; the cold hand had made her head ache.
A warm palm covered her, and Zhen Tian felt much better. She smiled foolishly.
"I can't bear to look!" Ye Qingyan shook her head and sighed, then walked towards the shop first.
Ye Qingyan sat in her seat, looking at the steel gun in the shop assistant's hand, and asked fearfully, "Miss, this won't hurt, will it?"
"It won't hurt." The young lady swiftly removed the scalpel, and with two quick snips, two earrings appeared on Ye Qingyan's ears.
"Oh my god!" She had just finished yelling when the fight was over.
Ye Qingyan gasped in fear, then checked herself: "It seems okay, it doesn't hurt much."
She reached out and carefully touched her ear: "Ouch, it still hurts a little."
Zhen Tian dared not look any longer; her eyes were covered by Ji Yuzhi, and she found Ye Qingyan's startled cries terrifying.
"Maybe I shouldn't fight anymore?" Zhen Tian shrank back into Ji Yuzhi's arms.
"You won't get hurt, so what are you afraid of!" Ye Qingyan whispered in Zhen Tian's ear, her fingers inadvertently touching her bag: "Oh, I want to wear these earrings."
She handed the gift that Tian Tian had brought to the shop assistant.
"No, you can't. Newly pierced ears need to be worn with special earrings. But wait another week for them to heal, and then you can wear your favorite earrings. Remember to keep them dry and take care to prevent inflammation during this week."
"I can't wear it." Ye Qingyan regretfully put away her earring: "It's a waste of the clothes."
Zhen Tian sat down in the chair, and because she needed to face the shop assistant, Ji Yuzhi could no longer hug her.
She gripped Ji Yuzhi's hand tightly, trembling with fear.
"If you close your eyes, you won't be afraid."
Ji Yuzhi stood beside her, and a familiar, almost imperceptible aura enveloped Zhen Tian, causing her to gradually relax.
"alright."
Before she could even calm down, the call was already finished.
"Is it done?" Zhen Tian's first reaction was to touch it.
"Don't move, your hands are dirty." Ji Yuzhi grabbed her and then straightened the mirror on the cosmetics counter for her to see.
The earrings were very simple, just a small ball. They were so small that you couldn't even tell anything about them.
Zhen Tian pouted and accepted the fact.
After paying the money, Ji Yuzhi left with the two girls.
Anyway, it's only a week. The two girls can wait that long. They've already bought ear piercings, so how could they not arrange for earrings?
The fourth floor of the mall houses luxury brand boutiques.
Brands like Chanel or Dior typically don't have dedicated earring counters; they sell their earrings in handbag stores or clothing stores.
The two of them went from store to store, and in the end, each of them was carrying four or five small brand bags.
Zhen Tian felt hungry after walking around for a while. She looked up and saw the familiar dessert shop from before.
“Zhizhi.” She tugged at him, “It’s that shop from last time. Their baked cookies are especially delicious.”
When Ji Yuzhi looked up, he saw the dessert shop where Tian Tian had queued up to buy his suit before he left, when she brought him there to have it made.
