Su Luo only realized it was Christmas Day when she took Su Jiani out.
The streets and alleys are decorated with many Christmas-related elements.
The two walked side by side along the roadside, holding hands.
Silvery-white snowflakes drifted down from the azure sky. Su Jianni stopped and tilted her head back slightly, letting the snowflakes fall on her cheeks and slowly melt.
She loved snowy days, when the whole world was white, covering all the filth and unpleasantness of the world under the ice and snow.
Su Luo, however, was indifferent to snowy days. If she had to choose a favorite season, it would definitely be summer. It was warm, and she wouldn't have to freeze. Going to work in winter was just too unbearable.
Urging Su Jiani.
"Why are you stopping? Hurry up and get into the mall, or you'll catch a cold!"
Su Jianni replied somewhat displeasedly, "Oh."
Obediently, she held Su Luo's hand tightly and followed him into the mall.
Because it's Sunday and Christmas Day, the mall is packed with customers.
A huge Christmas tree stands in the center of the mall, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and many cute little ornaments.
Many tourists were taking pictures under the Christmas tree, and Su Luo asked Su Jiani with a smile.
"Nini, do you want to go take a picture?"
Su Jiani shook her head and frowned.
"No, there are so many people, it'll be too crowded."
Su Luo sighed helplessly, "Alright, what kind of gift do you want?"
Su Jianni stood there, thought seriously for a while, and then pointed to the dessert shop upstairs.
"I want a strawberry tart!"
Su Luo readily agreed.
"Okay, what else do you want? Strawberry tarts are cheap. Dad has savings now, so he doesn't need to save money for me anymore (?′?‵?)I"
Su Jiani was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively.
"Then, may I have a ring?"
Su Luo found it strange.
"Huh? What do you need a ring for? Doesn't your school forbid students from wearing jewelry?"
Su Jiani puffed out her cheeks and spoke with conviction.
"If you can't wear it to school, you can wear it on weekends."
Su Luo said helplessly, "Fine."
The two went to the jewelry counter on the second floor.
Su Jianni looked at the dazzling array of jewelry on the counter and was a little confused, not knowing which one to choose.
He tugged at Su Luo's sleeve and asked blankly.
"Dad, which one do you think looks better?"
Before Su Luo could reply, the saleswoman behind the counter struck up a conversation with her.
"Little friend, are you picking out a gift for your mom? You can look at these newest ones..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jianni's face darkened instantly, and she glared at the saleswoman fiercely.
"Did I even speak to you? Stop talking!"
She doesn't have a mother, and she never will. Ozawa Nami only calls her "big sister".
The saleswoman's smile froze instantly: "?!?!"
She was just trying to be kind, but this child is so mean!
Seeing this, Su Luo immediately smoothed things over, "I'm sorry, it was my daughter who chose it herself."
The saleswoman then realized it was her fault and gave a polite smile.
"I'm sorry, I misspoke. Please take your time choosing. I can help you try on whichever one you like."
Su Jianni's expression softened.
Su Luo turned around.
Upon seeing a sapphire six-pointed star ring, Su Jiani pointed it out through the glass display case and asked him about it.
How about this one?
Blue is Su Jianni's favorite color, and she also likes star elements.
Su Jianni's eyes lit up. "Great! I'll take this one!"
The sales assistant quickly took out the ring and helped Su Jianni try it on. It looked really good; the blue color made Su Jianni's already fair skin look even whiter.
Su Luo instructed, "Wrap it up."
He told Su Jiani to wait for the ring while he went to the cashier to swipe his card.
As I handed the card to the cashier, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking towards me out of the corner of my eye.
It's Song Lingshan!
