Chapter 13: A Wonderful Meeting
The city of Crossbell is bustling and noisy during the day β except for areas like the Old Town, which seem to be decaying just by hearing the name.
This is especially true for places like the Times Store, which already have a large number of customers.
And in this bright and lively atmosphere, two bright and lively figures suddenly squeezed in.
"Wow, it's Crossbell! The supermarket is really big! Estelle looked curiously at the gorgeous dΓ©cor of the period store. As the largest supermarket in Crossbell, this two-storey building houses a collection of goods from all over Sisemlia.
"Okay, it's big, no, but, the consortium headquarters is much bigger than this!" He Xu was a little inarticulate excitedly, and after he spoke, there was a sudden pride in his tone.
Estelle smiled hehehe, the child's comparison mentality not only did not make her feel annoying, but there was some childlike feeling, which was very cute.
Like every little girl, Lotus loves to be lively, loves desserts and ice cream, loves pink and cute things. Estille is more like a middle-aged uncle who likes cute little children, as long as she is coquettish, she can't help it.
Because of the above, although the two of them had only been shopping for less than 20 minutes, Estelle had an extra handbag with all kinds of cute clothes on her arm. Bought mainly by Horxu, Estelle doesn't care much about how she dresses, she is more interested in weapons, fishing tackle, and sneakers than clothes. These manly interests also make this swaggering girl more informal.
Two people, one big and one small, quickly walked through the crowd, as if they were sisters.
"Huh? This is! Suddenly, Lotus let out a cry of surprise, and Istelle smiled, and it seemed that she had found something she liked again. Estelle silently touched her wallet, which was still full. Of course, you can't let the children pay for everything when you go shopping with the children - especially such a cute little girl. This is common sense, even for someone as nervous as Estelle.
However, I still feel a little distressed...... I just spent five pairs of sneakers plus a high-grade fishing rod and a hexagonal stick for Hexu...... After I go back, I will find Brother You to repay the account, that kind of rich person will not care about this little money. Estelle made up her mind and searched around for what had just excited Horxu.
"Oh! Xiaohe, you are very discerning! Estelle's eyes lit up, too.
"Right, right! Then Hexu went over and took a look! β
"Well, I'm with you, too."
After a good conversation......
Lotus and Estil...... Ran away in both directions......
The product that Hexu likes is an oversized doll of Crossbell's mascot.
It can be regarded as a cat-shaped, gray and white color scheme, some crying and laughing, like an embarrassing expression, fluffy, oversized, soft tail, with all the above elements, it is Crossbell's mascot, Missy.
Although this thing is very strange in the eyes of men, it is unexpectedly popular among women and children.
By the way, Hexu also thought that this embarrassed big cat was nothing cute, but Tio liked this mascot very much, and in Theo's "Missy's Cuteness Lecture" for more than two days and three nights, Hexu also became a fan of Mixi.
Moreover, although I still don't think there's anything cute about that face, the big fluffy tail is really very attractive!
The Missy toy sat quietly on the display stand, almost as big as Lotus himself.
The big tail of the big version can completely wrap the whole person of Hexu! This soft charm! Sure enough, Sister Estelle understands! He Xu hugged the soft happiness with joy, and the clerk next to him also showed a knowing smile.
Lotus happily turned back and grabbed Estelle's hand, wanting to add another trophy to himself with a pitiful look.
Then, she grabbed the corner of the red suit......
On the other side, Estelle immediately looked around when she heard Hexu's surprised voice, and after that, her eyes were attracted.
A limited edition of Storega sneakers, a passionate match of orange and bright red! The white pattern not only adds a sense of purity but also enriches the color layer, this burning charm! It's not a loss, and I understand the charm of shoes! Moreover, this limited edition is the most durable at the moment. In other words, the perfect combination of fashion and practicality!
Estelle answered Lotus Xu's words and ran towards the pair of illusionary boutiques.
That's it...... Two people, very just right, staggered......
ββββββββββββ
Cut, it's really noisy......
The man with long brown-red hair is wearing a delicate dark red suit, rubbing his hair with one hand, and his appearance is exquisite. However, these delicate facial features were hanging weakly at this time, looking weak.
His powerlessness contrasts with the infinite vitality of the mall. There was a Marlboro cigarette in each of his trouser pockets, and it was obvious that he had come to the mall to buy cigarettes.
"Damn, what are you talking about the limit of two per person, do you play Lao Tzu......" he thought in pieces rather dissatisfied. Cut, next time, let that group of waste buy it, if there are two per person, that group of waste should be able to easily make forty or fifty pieces. β
He frowned impatiently, and his right hand in his pocket tapped the cigarette case anxiously, and strode out the door. He almost wanted to pull out a dot on the spot. But......
"'No smoking in public' is really troublesome......" The face is too lazy to do the disdainful expression, and the handsome and lazy mafia will not make that kind of expression in particular.
Even if it's a mafia, there are minimum rules to follow. That's Vincent's philosophy.
First of all, try not to get into trouble with people in public as much as possible β it will cause trouble for other people.
Second, try not to do anything to women and children as much as possible β unless they have to provoke themselves.
Finally, don't waste time, the most efficient thing to do β precious sleep time can't be wasted.
Although he is a mafia, Vincent is also one of the few self-disciplined people in the mafia.
Try not to do troublesome things, and if you have to do them, solve them in one go.
Vincent shook his head, his steps becoming more urgent.
Suddenly, he felt a pull from the corner of his clothes, and his excellent fighting qualities made him stop quickly, and his muscles suddenly tightened to a state of imminent battle. He looked back haughtily - no one?
The field of vision moved down, and then I saw a little embarrassed Hexu.
"Looking for an old ...... Looking for me? He raised his eyebrows, forcibly suppressed his displeasure, and bent down to pretend to be as gentle as possible. Cheering up a little, Vincent's originally resentful face suddenly regained its delicate beauty.
"No, hug, sorry......"
Maybe it was sensing the impatience in Vincent's eyes that couldn't be concealed, or maybe it was simply afraid of the tall Vincent, in short, Hexu's voice trembled, and he looked very scared.
"Cut ......," Vincent reverted to his troublesome look. Originally, I thought it was the daughter of the backstage gold owner, but I didn't expect that I just recognized the wrong person. Vincent pulled the corner of his shirt impatiently, and just took a step.
"Sister Estelle...... Where is it? The immature voice of confusion made him feel troubled.
"Sir, your daughter seems to like this, would you like to buy it as a gift?" The clever clerk next to him suddenly seized the business opportunity. As for the relationship between the two people, she didn't have the heart to listen to other people's gossip, so she made up one casually: the scene where her daughter wanted a doll but her father didn't agree, so she went up to sell the product.
"Lao Tzu has no daughter." Vincent waved his hand impatiently.
He was telling the truth. But I don't know if the clerk and the people around me think so. As a result, it seems that Vincent's actions are seen as nothing more than a bad father's fire.
"Ah, that's bad, this father......"
"To say such a thing to your own daughter......"
"That's enough...... Isn't there anyone going to save that little girl......"
"It's like adopting her......"
"This scumbag ......"
Vincent glanced around hatefully, almost wanting to pull out Marlboro and knock them all over. In the end, I held back.
The beating of civilians by the top brass of Rubacher in the Times Mall will certainly attract condemnation from the state government, and even start to suppress it...... Now we are in a period of intense preparation for the battle against the Black Moon, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan...... Vincent hastened to persuade himself in his head. I saw him take a deep breath and say to the clerk, "Buy it and give it to her." Then he took out a large denomination of Mira and threw it in a ball, and walked to the door without looking back.
"Cut, this ...... Can it be counted as public money......" Vincent thought carefully, stepping out of this enclosed space, he opened the cigarette case fiercely, and went to hold one.
Lighting the fire and inhaling hard, the pungent smell of tobacco made him relax. The slender fingers clamped the equally slender cigarette body, and the irritating gas through the filter rushed straight to the lungs, and the discomfort just now seemed to disappear all at once.
Sleep when you're tired, smoke when you're tired, don't do troublesome things, and it's best to make a lot of money. The creature named Vincent is as simple as that.
"Life is not a thing, you can't live if it's not easy......" Vincent said something timeless, and Vincent slammed out a large cloud of smoke and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, the blue sky in Vincent's vision suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a gray and white face that looked like an embarrassed character. The pupils contracted suddenly, and the green tendons on the hand holding the long cigarette case exploded, and it only took a little malice to come, and Vincent would definitely let his blood splash on the spot.
It's one thing not to get into trouble for Rubacher, it's another thing to not fight back when you're attacked. Vincent wasn't naΓ―ve enough to follow the rules and get hurt.
Then, his pupils immediately locked on to the "attacker", a little girl with short pale blonde hair. It's the lotus just now. Sensing that she had no malicious intent, Vincent also lost his momentum, and his serious expression suddenly relaxed.
"I'm sorry, big brother, I just caused you trouble." Although He Xu was apologizing, she was smiling happily, which showed how happy she was to get this gift.
"I knew that I was causing trouble to Lao Tzu, so I quickly disappeared...... Children are the most troublesome......" he said weakly, waving his hand as if to drive away flies.
"No, since I received a gift from my eldest brother, I must return the money." There was a serious look in Hexu's eyes. In fact, she was also ready to pay for the things that Estelle bought for her, but she came out in a hurry today, and she only brought a small amount of Mira with her, and she didn't want to go back to get it, so she borrowed Estelle's first.
"So, big brother, come to my house! I'm going to give you back at least the money! β
As he said this, he couldn't help but take Vincent's hand. Vincent scratched his head with disgust, and immediately made a conclusion in his heart: instead of disagreeing to let her continue to entangle, it is better to follow her temporarily and make an appointment, even if she still wants to entangle at that time, she only needs to say that she has made an appointment! You can get rid of her. And, maybe get that stupid pillow money back (Vincent doesn't know what it is).
"Good...... Lao Tzu will give you 15 minutes...... After 15 minutes, Lao Tzu disappeared! β
