wrong.
Chaochao shook her head.
She recalled how the young lady in the store had taken away her snowman pudding, and then stood up for her to protect her favorite little cake. It turned out that the matcha flavor was really delicious... So now, it seems quite normal to see the pretty lady angrily scolding the conman uncle?
Yes, this young lady has always looked like this.
Chaochao nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly blinked.
So, the young lady has already helped her once, twice, or even three times!
The swindler, who was still trying to play the victim card, was put into a car by the urban management team without any explanation.
Yu Ning walked up to Chaochao, took her little hand out of her wallet, and put the 5 yuan bill back in—the change she had just found.
"Keep this money for yourself, don't be silly and let someone cheat you out of it," Yu Ning said with a frown as she closed the wallet for the little girl.
If you get scammed, the scammer will even complain that you weren't generous enough.
Upon hearing the word "stupid," Chaochao immediately shuddered.
The little dumpling tried to prove herself: "I'm not stupid."
Yu Ning gave a perfunctory "uh-huh".
"Aside from being a bit silly, he's quite smart."
Chao Chao nodded solemnly, her face full of approval:
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Wang Jie: "..."
system:"……"
My little one, you're so quick to understand! I'm crying so hard.
Chaochao stared at the girl's delicate features so close to her, blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lighting up.
"I can use it to treat my sister to something delicious!"
Yu Ning was taken aback, somewhat unprepared for the child's sudden idea, then she saw her chuckle softly and stand up.
"This amount of money isn't enough for food."
So go home, little one.
Chaochao's little brows furrowed and then suddenly relaxed. Her childish voice was firm and confident, as if she had victory in her grasp.
"Yes, you can eat it! You can eat lots and lots of it!"
Then Yu Ning and Wang Jie were taken by Chaochao to the one-yuan roadside stall at the entrance of the elementary school.
Three fried skewers for one yuan, starch sausage for one yuan, a small bowl of instant noodles for one yuan...
Chaochao vowed to buy them all so that Yu Ning and Wang Jie could try them.
In the long line of elementary school students queuing at the candied hawthorn stall, a tiny, adorable little dumpling suddenly slipped in, obediently following the rules and standing among the older children. Once the boy in front of her had finally left, Chaochao took a step forward with her short legs, pointed at the stall on tiptoe, and her sweet, childlike voice was like a refreshing peach ice cream in summer.
"Auntie, I'd like two skewers of candied hawthorn, just two skewers will do!"
Yu Ning never expected that, after living two lives in ten years, she would still have to compete for food with a bunch of elementary school kids.
She stood by the curb, her gaze fixed on the little girl who tiptoed to take the two skewers of candied hawthorns, then opened her lips and took a bite of the pork tenderloin skewer.
The taste was neither good nor bad.
I don't know why, but in my childhood memories, my classmates always seemed to eat things that were absolutely amazing.
It made her think about it for a long time back then.
"Sisters, I'm here!"
Chaochao came running back happily, carrying a plastic bag in her two little hands. Wang Jie squatted down and looked a little embarrassed: "Chaochao, you don't need to buy me any more. I already have a lot."
Hearing this, Chaochao proudly raised her plump chin and said, "I told you, we can eat a lot, right, sister?"
She glanced at Yu Ning, who was silently eating a candied hawthorn, as she spoke her last words.
"Hmm, that's true."
The girl nodded in agreement, and as she took another bite of the candied hawthorn, she suddenly felt a scorching gaze shooting from below, so intense it almost melted the hawthorn coating.
Yu Ning paused, lowered her dark eyes slightly, and saw the little dumpling standing on the ground with its neck bent and its almond eyes staring straight at the thing in her hand.
"Want some?"
Yu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, lowered the candied hawthorn and held it to her lips, "Eat it, you didn't touch it."
Despite her obvious craving, the little dumpling took a step back and shook her head with difficulty. Yu Ning could see in her a kind of helpless feeling, like an eunuch visiting a brothel. Although it wasn't quite right, it felt strangely fitting. "..."
A look of reluctance flashed across Wang Jie's face. After a brief hesitation, she whispered in the little dumpling's ear, "Chaochao, just eat. It's okay. President Huo... might not even know."
As long as she doesn't tell President Huo, everything will be fine.
A hint of shame flashed across Wang Jie's face as she lowered her head.
Yes, she's a traitor, sob sob sob.
So much so that she would perform rituals and pray every day after get off work, so that Miss Chaochao would never know that it was she and the driver who had told on her.
And Chaochao... Chaochao shamefully fell in love.
But taking just one bite meant all her previous careful planning would have to be overturned and she'd have to start all over again. She clenched her fists, her voice heavy, "I—"
"Auntie, sprinkle more cilantro!"
In the end, Chaochao, who was easily persuaded, spent a dollar on herself and happily slurped down a small bowl of instant noodles.
After a few slurps, the plastic bowl of noodles was empty.
Seeing how well she socialized with the stall owners, Yu Ning asked curiously, "Do you come here to eat often?"
Chaochao licked her lips and put the bowls and chopsticks into the bag. "I used to come here to eat with my grandma. The uncles and aunties would sell delicious food here every day."
Wang Jie, who was quietly dealing with the trash nearby, paused upon hearing the sound.
Yu Ning didn't think anything was wrong and responded softly.
That little dumpling must have a wonderful grandma.
She glanced down at Chaochao, who was trying to wipe her mouth and cover up the crime. This was the first time she had seen the little dumpling's full appearance after taking off her mask. Her features were just right, lively and cute, showing that Nuwa had put a lot of thought into shaping the clay.
