Mu Xiaocheng awkwardly accepted the helium balloon from the little boy and asked, "Do you accept Alipay or WeChat transfers?"
The little boy shook his head.
She glanced back at the middle-aged woman behind her and said listlessly, "My mother doesn't use these things."
After saying that, he complained like a little adult, "I told her a long time ago that everyone pays online now, but she just wouldn't believe me and said that it's not safe online."
Mu Xiaocheng was utterly embarrassed.
What should she do if she doesn't have Alipay or WeChat?
"Um... how about I..."
I originally wanted to refuse and not buy it.
But seeing how well-behaved the little boy was, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Just then, a deep voice came over: "Buy it if you like it."
It's familiar and pleasant to the ear; just listening to it gives me a strange sense of security.
Hearing the sound, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly turned around and saw Ji Huaishen, dressed in a black suit, walking towards her.
His handsome face was expressionless, but his deep, dark eyes held a hint of tenderness.
Seeing Ji Huaishen, Mu Xiaocheng felt at ease.
He found her so quickly.
Not bad.
Ji Huaishen approached, took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, and handed it to the little boy.
The little boy happily took it, then waved to the middle-aged woman behind him and said, "Mom, can I get change?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "We don't have that much change."
Upon hearing this, the little boy's head drooped.
He carefully held the hundred-yuan bill in his hand, his lips pouting, as if he was unhappy.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaocheng said, "Since we don't have any change, let's buy balloons worth 100 yuan each, which are 5 yuan each. How many can I buy?"
"Twenty."
The boy answered quickly, his eyes sparkling.
"Hmm, that's really smart."
Mu Xiaocheng patted his head and then said, "Then, cash on delivery."
The little boy carefully counted twenty helium balloons and gave them to Mu Xiaocheng.
Mu Xiaocheng bought twenty, and then she and her son had almost nothing left.
It's so cold outside, it's good to go home and rest early.
"Thank you, sister." The little boy smiled politely at Mu Xiaocheng, then walked happily toward his mother.
They were jumping and skipping around, they were so happy.
The middle-aged woman nodded to Mu Xiaocheng, then took the child and went into the crowd.
Mu Xiaocheng stared at their retreating figures and said in a daze, "I hope this child can be like this in the future, always sticking to his original intention and always being positive and energetic, no matter how hard life is or how many hardships he faces."
Ji Huaishen suddenly grasped her hand, and then tightened his grip.
"He chose this path himself, and he has to keep going no matter what. Everyone will encounter hardship; it's just a matter of survival of the fittest."
Upon hearing Ji Huaishen's words, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly turned her head to look at his sharply defined features.
His features were cold and stern, and something seemed to be flashing in his dark pupils.
Yes, everyone experiences that.
She is, and so is Ji Huaishen.
Her Mr. Ji must have had a very difficult time in the past.
He must have experienced more and suffered more than most people, which is why he became the Ji Huaishen he is today.
Mu Xiaocheng wrapped her arms around his waist with a touch of tenderness and leaned against his chest.
"So I'm so glad that you are my rainbow after the rain."
From now on, even if the journey is long and arduous, I will not be afraid.
