"It's over, I suddenly remembered that Shi Yitong and I promised Su Xiaoyun to go shopping with her tomorrow!"
In the middle of the walk, I suddenly stopped, and Bai, who was standing on my shoulder, staggered and almost fell off my shoulder.
"What are you doing? If you fall, you will die!" Bai Zai jumped up and down on his shoulders, "What does that matter, you go shopping with her first, and then we go to find that little girl and it's over."
"If possible, I don't want to do this..." I held my forehead and said with a headache, "How can I explain your existence to them?"
"It's no big deal, just treat me as your new pet."
"I just have a headache, okay! Which big boy would keep such a cute pet?"
"You still have eyesight, you know I'm cute!"
"… are you an idiot?"
"Who are you talking about? Look at my Foshan Shadowless Claw!"
The next day, I waited at the school gate as scheduled. They saw Shi Yitong first, and Su Xiaoyun arrived not long after.
"Huh, it's so early for you all." Su Xiaoyun ran over panting.
"It's because you're late." I said with a smile, "But it wasn't long, just five minutes."
"Girls have to wash up before going out, okay? Unlike you two guys, you can just put on a coat and go out!" Su Xiaoyun complained, raising her head, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Huh? What is this! Gu Yu, have you got a new pet?"
"Ah, this..." I turned my head to look at Bai who was standing on my shoulder, and said vaguely, "That's right."
"It's so cute!" Su Xiaoyun immediately became excited, reaching out to tease the ferret.
"Ah, don't tease me, be careful that he bites—" However, instead of biting Su Xiaoyun, Bai yelled "chirp", even though Su Xiaoyun stroked his little face with his fingertips, he didn't have any intention of resisting.
This little bastard, taking the opportunity to eat girls' tofu, is good enough. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I interrupted,
"By the way, where are we going today?"
"Oh, go to Chenghua Road in the city center!" Su Xiaoyun immediately replied with a very happy expression.
Shi Yitong on the side let out a sigh, scratched his messy hair, and whispered to me, "Chenghua Road is that commercial street, full of shopping malls, where shoes and clothes are sold."
"What's the matter? Shi Yitong, do you have any opinion on me?" Su Xiaoyun immediately glared at Shi Yitong.
"No, no, the goddess is right in everything she says." Shi Yitong quickly apologized.
"But I'm not going to buy clothes or shoes today."
Shi Yitong's eyes lit up.
"I'm going to buy cosmetics!" Su Xiaoyun said energetically.
Shi Yitong's eyes darkened again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"There is no difference at all..." Shi Yitong murmured, "The goddess is still as beautiful as a fairy even without makeup."
My heart skipped a beat, and some bad memories flooded into my mind. But it's rare for Su Xiaoyun to be so excited, and he can't break his promise even if he has already promised her.
"Why do you want to learn makeup all of a sudden?" I asked. I remember that Su Xiaoyun had always been without makeup before, and I had never heard of her being able to make up.
"This—girls should be more beautiful." Su Xiaoyun said with a little confidence, "After all, I see that other people can be so beautiful, so I want to..."
I sighed, "Is it instigated by those beauty bloggers on Weibo?"
"Uh," Su Xiaoyun, who was exposed all of a sudden, smiled awkwardly, "However, their makeup looks really good, and I want to try it too."
In this way, the three of us took the bus to Chenghua Road in the city center. Although Yancheng is a small third-tier city, there are still many shopping malls and specialty stores in the city center. On weekends, a considerable number of men and women come here to shop.
"No, no, still not..." Su Xiaoyun searched one after another beauty store, but she couldn't find the lipstick recommended by her favorite beauty blogger. Su Xiaoyun stomped her feet anxiously.
"How come there is no lipstick of that brand? I have saved money for a long time because of this!"
"Why don't you buy it online?" Shi Yitong interjected.
"Because I still want to try the color number! If you buy something worth hundreds of dollars, what if it doesn't suit you?"
"Probably because Yancheng is a small city, the cosmetics recommended by the beauty bloggers you mentioned can be regarded as luxury goods." A pink lipstick was handed to Su Xiaoyun, "It's not only high-end brands that look good. Why don't you try this one?"
Su Xiaoyun looked at me suspiciously, but she unscrewed the lid of the trial kit and tried it in front of the mirror.
"Really, this color number looks so good!" Su Xiaoyun exclaimed in surprise, and turned to look at me, "I didn't expect you to know this? It's amazing!"
"No, it's probably just a coincidence." I scratched my head and laughed, "I just thought you might match this color well."
"I want this!"
After buying the lipstick, Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong will go back. And I parted ways with the two of them in front of the mall, and I was going to visit the little girl's home that Bai had mentioned.
"Your boss is really exploiting you." Su Xiaoyun said regretfully, "Otherwise we can play a little longer. You should ask him to give you more money!"
I waved my hand with a wry smile, "I wish." Although I knew in my heart that this was impossible.
Just after I crossed the road, my phone vibrated suddenly. I turned on my phone and there was a text message.
Wen Jiubai: Don't read when you have reached your destination.
When I saw this text message, I couldn't get angry. This guy refused to tell me where he went, but now he sent a text message to report his safety? Ghosts miss you.
Angrily, I wanted to put the phone back in my pocket, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was really impolite not to reply to the text message. Sighing, he replied with one word: Oh.
Just as I was about to put the phone back in, there was another vibration.
Wen Jiubai: How about the case
Seeing this sentence, I immediately felt an unknown fire in my heart, and typed quickly: On the road, you are so annoying.
The opposite is almost a second back.
Wen Jiubai: The kitten with fried hair is so scary, don't ask. Please do your best.
I rolled my eyes, and was hesitating whether to reply or put the phone away, when Bai's voice suddenly rang in my ear.
"Hey, Gu Yu. Are you gay?"
This shocked me so much that I almost dropped my phone. After finally grasping the phone, I glared at the ferret on my shoulder.
"Did you peek at my text messages!"
