Chapter 28 Shopping
"Does this look good~?"
After coming out of the locker room and changing into a light green children's cheongsam, Nashida covered her mouth with a round fan and smiled softly as she asked Liu Bai for his opinion.
"It looks good, my girl looks good in anything she wears!"
Liu Bai raised his hands without hesitation and clapped wildly.
"This gentleman is right, your sister is so cute~ Such a cute little girl looks good in any clothes~"
The receptionist at the side also agreed with a smile.
"Really? Thank you..."
Nashida's face turned a little red, and she continued to cover her face with the fan embarrassedly.
Then, at Liu Bai's suggestion, Nashida went back into the dressing room and came out wearing a slightly modified set of Hanfu.
It is worth mentioning that although Liyue is based on the country in Liu Bai’s previous world, there is no concept of the Han nationality here, and naturally there is no such thing as “Hanfu”. However, this does not affect the existence of this type of clothing, so Liu Bai just habitually calls it that.
This kind of clothing is the attire of the pre-Liyue period and does not meet the needs of modern Liyue people, so it is usually modified like cheongsam to make it convenient for daily wear.
"How do you like this dress? Does it look good?"
Still holding the round fan, Nashida continued to ask Liu Bai with a chuckle.
Compared with the cheongsam, Nashida, who changed into a children's Hanfu, looked like a young daughter of a wealthy family because of her delicate and lovely appearance.
Standing next to her, Liu Bai would unknowingly be downgraded to a "servant" in a wealthy family in the eyes of outsiders.
"nice!"
Liu Bai nodded excitedly, and his hands continued to transform into a ruthless clapping machine.
In this way, Nashida tried on several different styles of clothes, and Liu Bai waved his hand and bought them all with the words "I have plenty of money".
Nashida didn't have much idea about money, and didn't think of stopping Liu Bai from spending money recklessly.
When she remembered, it was difficult to return the packaged clothes...
So, she simply pulled Liu Bai aside and helped him pick out a few sets of Liyue-style men's clothing.
After all, the clothes Liu Bai wore these days were all brought from Zhidong, and in Liyue's opinion, they were a bit too tight.
Liu Bai naturally accepted it with pleasure.
"Sir, the total is 800 million Mora, can you please pay by Northland Bank check?"
After helping Liu Bai and the others pack their clothes, the receptionist asked Liu Bai with a smile.
"Of course it's paid in cash. Here."
Liu Bai said this as a matter of course, then stretched out his hand on the counter, and dozens of Mora coins with the largest denomination fell down.
Eighty Mora coins...
The receptionist counted them and confirmed that the number matched, then respectfully saw Liu Bai and the others off.
Liu Bai casually packed all the clothes into the utility room. After all, "clothes" themselves were in the "daily necessities" category designated by the system, even if they were not Liu Bai's clothes.
"I'm so happy. This is my first time experiencing this kind of thing~"
The two of them walked out of the store wearing Liyue style clothing. Nashida, who was holding Liu Bai's hand, spoke happily, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
"What first time?"
Liu Bai seemed to have triggered a key word and subconsciously asked Nashida.
"Of course I'm changing clothes. I've never changed clothes before~"
"Only when I was first brought to Xumi City five hundred years ago, people worried that I would be cold, so they put a coat on me. Apart from that, I have never worn or changed clothes..."
Nashida explained happily, but her voice became lower towards the end.
That was the best thing the people of Xumi had done to her...
Because after that, the sages at that time confirmed that with her knowledge and ability, she was not the Great Compassionate Tree King they were looking for.
"Ah? Your clothes haven't been washed for five hundred years? How dirty must you be?"
After hearing Nashida's explanation, Liu Bai realized another problem.
"No way, that suit is made of elemental forces, and a god's body won't get dirty!"
Upon hearing this, Nashida immediately retorted in dissatisfaction.
"Really?"
Liu Bai looked at Nashida with some doubt. Don't gods need to take a bath? Little Pigeon is so strong, but he also likes to take a bath. I have seen it with my own eyes...
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me... just smell it."
In order to prove herself, Nashida covered her face with a fan in one hand, and at the same time pulled out the hand that Liu Bai was holding, lifted it up and spoke to Liu Bai.
I have smelled it before, it smells good!
Seeing Nashida's outstretched hand, Liu Bai immediately bent down and sniffed it.
There is a little bit of strange floral fragrance...
"Hmm, it turns out that beautiful girls must be fragrant."
Sniffing Nashida's hand, Liu Bai smiled and nodded and said this again.
"That's the way it should be."
Nashida withdrew her hand with satisfaction, and put her hands on her waist happily, one of her hands still holding the round fan.
Seeing that she seemed a little happy, Liu Bai was slightly distracted.
"Girl, you look so beautiful now."
For some unknown reason, Liu Bai suddenly said this.
"Eh? Why are you saying that suddenly...?"
Nashida was stunned for a moment, and quickly moved the fan in her hand upwards to cover her little face which was beginning to turn red.
"Haha, because now I see how cute you are!"
Liu Bai said happily with his hands on his hips.
"What I see now is the most important thing, because I can't remember the past and the future, so if I think you are beautiful, I have to say it on the spot."
"Girl, you're so pretty--!"
Liu Bai explained, and at the end he shouted it out loudly with a serious look on his face.
"Ah, calm down... so many people are looking at you!"
In panic, Nashida pulled Liu Bai's arm and made him bend down, then covered his mouth with one hand, and quickly ran away with Liu Bai under the puzzled gazes of passers-by.
Thanks to the fact that Nashida's power has been enhanced by 12, it is not a problem to drag Liu Bai away with her physical strength if he does not resist.
Liu Bai was pulled away by Nashida with his mouth covered. He blinked and subconsciously opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
babble...
"ah?!"
Hiding in a remote alley, Nashida screamed and quickly released her hand that was covering Liu Bai's mouth.
“Not only does it smell good, it tastes good too.”
Liu Bai licked his lips with satisfaction and gave Nashida a thumbs up.
"...Really, I'm not good at dealing with crowded places. I would be very nervous if so many people stared at me."
Nashida wiped the saliva from her palm with a red face, and then spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"Well... now that there are fewer people around, can I say it again?"
Seeing Nashida puffing up her cheeks slightly in dissatisfaction, Liu Bai asked tentatively.
"No, I'll be embarrassed..."
"Is there anything else you need to buy besides this?"
Nashida quickly shook her head and changed the subject.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go to Chihuyan to buy some ingredients so that we can cook for ourselves at home in the future."
Liu Bai nodded and answered.
These past few mornings, they had their breakfast outside or packed it up from Wanmin Hall.
Getting up early to buy breakfast is a bit of a torture for Liu Bai. It would be better to make it at home after getting enough sleep.
"Okay, let's go then."
Nashida responded, then followed Liu Bai out of the alley and walked towards Chihuyan.
On the way, the two noticed a bustling stall on the side of the road. Driven by curiosity, he and Nashida moved towards that side at the same time.
When I took a closer look, I found that it was a stall selling freshly made candied haws.
Because the selling point is that it is made on the spot, it is not just the traditional hawthorn candied haws that are available, but candied haws that can be wrapped around anything. Liu Bai even saw a string of candied haws wrapped around watermelon.
Or it might be more appropriate to call it candied watermelon, after all, it doesn't look like a gourd.
