250 Buying Toys
The two of them chatted softly as they walked. Most of this era’s clothes were in black, white, gray, blue, or green, but because of S City’s advantage as a port city, it had many foreign brands and its people were much more stylish.
However, Yu Bing only took a cursory glance. She had seen many beautiful clothes in her previous life, so she could resist the temptation of these styles. Moreover, she worked all day, so it wasn’t suitable for her to wear glamorous clothes and dresses.
When the two of them arrived at the children’s clothing area, Yu Bing saw a beautiful blue and white navy-style dress. Her eyes lit up and she immediately rushed over. “This is so beautiful!”
Yu Bing turned to look at Xiao Sheng. “Xiao Li will definitely look good in this.”
Xiao Sheng glanced at the dress. After a few seconds, he said slowly, “After she finishes the surgery, I’ll bring her here to choose personally.”
Yu Bing nodded and said with a smile, “She’ll definitely be very happy. I’ll pay for it. You’re not allowed to snatch my credit!”
Yu Bing thought of her vision regarding marriage in her previous life and said, “I’ve always thought that if I had a daughter, I would definitely dress her up every day like a little princess.”
If Xiao Li underwent surgery, Yu Bing would also take some time to come over. The two little fellows of the Xiao family were so grateful and sensible that her heart ached for them.
Yu Bing only chatted with Xiao Li occasionally, but Xiao Lin and Xiao Li were so grateful that they plucked fruits and sent other things to her in return. When they watered their own vegetable field and pulled weeds, they even did the same for her. As long as they could help, they would do it directly and wouldn’t let her or Jiang Chun refuse.
To be honest, Yu Bing already treated them as her siblings.
When Xiao Sheng heard Yu Bing’s words, he looked conflicted. “Do you plan to get married soon?”
Yu Bing paused for a moment before saying, “I don’t plan to get married. It’s quite nice to be alone.”
Now, it was Xiao Sheng’s turn to be stunned. “Why?”
Yu Bing couldn’t say that she was traumatized because she had been screwed over too badly in her previous life, so she could only say perfunctorily, “After you marry someone, you have to serve your in-laws and take care of your siblings. You also have to prevent your spouse from cheating. It’s too tiring.”
Xiao Sheng was speechless.
Xiao Sheng couldn’t help but think about his family’s situation. He could skip the in-laws segment. He had siblings, but he would take care of them. Moreover, his brother and sister were quite independent and could take care of themselves. As for cheating… he was definitely not an irresponsible person. Once he chose to get married, he would definitely treat her well for the rest of his life. Cheating was impossible for him!
The more Xiao Sheng thought about it, the further off tangent he went. He suddenly came back to his senses. What was he thinking?!
His sister’s surgery hadn’t even been settled yet, so why was he thinking about such nonsense? He removed these thoughts from his mind.
The two of them arrived at the fifth floor soon. Yu Bing took a fancy to a toy frog that could jump on a chain and a puppy made of cloth. “I want two tin frogs and that puppy in dungarees.”
Yu Bing smiled at Xiao Sheng and said, “Every time I carry the little tiger to your house, Xiao Li looks overjoyed. I might as well buy her a little cloth dog. This toy frog is for Xiao Lin. I can already imagine him showing off in the village.”
Xiao Sheng hurriedly stopped her. “Don’t buy these things for them. They’re not cheap.”
After Yu Bing glared at Xiao Sheng, she picked up the toys again. “It’s not easy for me to come to S City. What’s wrong with me buying some toys for them? They’ve helped me so much, so I have to thank them.”
The salesperson was already ready for the payment. Seeing that the two of them were about the same age and seemed very close when they interacted, she guessed that the two of them were in a relationship and preparing to get married. She hurriedly advised, “It’s normal for future sister-in-laws to buy gifts for their brother-in-laws or sister-in-laws. You guys will be family in the future. Young man, don’t be too fussy.”
As soon as she said this, Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng immediately blushed.
Yu Bing hurriedly explained, “We’re friends. We’re not in the kind of relationship you’re talking about.”
The salesperson revealed an understanding smile. “Young people are all bashful before they get married. Alright, alright, alright. I won’t say anything more.”
Yu Bing felt that the misunderstanding was getting worse, so after paying the money and stamps, she grabbed the toys and left in a hurry, for fear that the salesperson would blurt out something inappropriate again.
Xiao Sheng followed behind Yu Bing with a blush. Along the way, the two of them didn’t mention the previous misunderstanding and changed the topic.
