“It’s so nice!”
Probably because the appearance of outfits for females and males are very different, Su Rui, at most, felt that the little Batman suit and mini suits that she bought for Gu An An were tiny and cute. But when Tang Xiao pointed to the little rmaid suit, Su Rui really thought it was pretty, cute, and adorable to death!
“This is way too cute,” Su Rui exclaid.
Tang Xiao, beside her, said with scintillating eyes, “Right? It’s super cute. Buy it! Buy it!”
Su Rui hesitated for a mont, and then she eyed Tang Xiao.
“Calm down, Tang Xiao Niu. Who is going to wear this after it is bought?”
Even though there was a voice inside Su Rui saying ‘Cute. I want to buy it.’ reason drove her to avert her gaze from the outfit.
Even if she and Gu Yu Cheng have plans for a second child in the future and this child is a little princess, that would at least be two or three years later, and it is too early to discuss this now.
As for the “daughter” that Tang Xiao talked about all day, Su Rui felt that it was even more unreliable than her second child.
“Isn’t there a person available now?” Tang Xiao winked at Su Rui with a smile on her face. Then, she pointed at Gu An An, who was playing happily with his new water bottle in his stroller.
It was amazing that Su Rui instantly had a vague idea of what Tang Xiao was thinking.
Hence, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched when she saw Tang Xiao looking at her son.
Deep down, she said: As expected.
Su Rui reminded her, “You want my son to wear that? That’s a little girl’s outfit.”
“Geez, what does it matter? Little babies that age look pretty much the sa anyway.”
If it wasn’t for their different dressing, Tang Xiao genuinely thought that, as long as their trousers weren’t removed, she would differentiate a baby based on whether they are good-looking or not. She would not differentiate them by gender.
Tang Xiao said as her lips curled into a smile, “Moreover, that outfit is obviously not to be worn outside, so let’s just buy one and take it ho for your son to wear.” She continued to encourage her, “Our An An is so good looking. He’ll look so cute in that!”
As Su Rui listened to Tang Xiao, she looked at her son and then at the set of clothes. Then, finally, she looked at Tang Xiao again.
“Are you sure you want to dig a pit for your godson?” Aka future son-in-law.
“What do you an by ‘digging a pit’?” Then, seeing a hint of fellowship in Su Rui’s gaze, Tang Xiao continued to persuade her, “Let’s just try it out. Just this once!”
“And An An is young now. He definitely won’t rember. Don’t worry. Don’t worry.” Even if he grows older, he will surely feel that his mother dug a pit for him when he finds out.
“Besides, I can still give it to my daughter since An An won’t be able to use this outfit in the future!”
“Yeah.” Tang Xiao’s eyes shimred as she spoke. “I will buy it if you are not going to do so.”
Before Tang Xiao finished her sentence, she already brought Gu An An over and asked the shop assistant to help her take down the little rmaid outfit. Then, she placed it in front of Gu An An.
“Obedient son, Godmother prepared a gift for you. Do you like it?” Tang Xiao asked with a smile as she waved the outfit in front of Gu An An.
Gu An An giggled as he faced Tang Xiao. Sensing that it wasn’t enough, he even shook his two little fleshy hands by giving her face.
“See, An An said he likes it.”
Su Rui: Is that so? Why does she feel that her son simply thinks his godmother is playing with him and then plays along with it by giggling?
……
In the end, the two won were stared at by the shop assistant who had a gaze that states, ‘This experienced person understands since I’ve seen so many mothers bring their babies to buy it.’, and they bought the little rmaid outfit.
Gu An An: Continues to be obsessed with his little water bottle.
……
In the evening, after coming out of the mall, Tang Xiao followed Su Rui back ho with an excited face.
“It’s already 8 o’clock. Are you sure you still want to go to my house?” Su Rui asked as she checked the ti.
“It’s only 8 o’clock. It’s still early and I’ve sent a ssage to Zhou Zi Yuan, asking him to follow Gu Yu Cheng and fetch at your house after their eting ends.”
Zhou Zi Yuan recently told her that the weather is hot and people tend to get cranky during this ti of year. Female drivers, who are short-tempered like her, should not drive on the road to avoid road rage. Hence, she was not allowed to drive.
Just like when she just ssaged him on WeChat that she didn’t drink so she could drive back later. But that guy still insisted that the driver should drive since she was tired from shopping.
“Just a reminder, Gu Yu Cheng and the others might end their eting pretty late. Are you sure you want to wait at my place? Don’t you have to do your graduation project?” Su Rui asked leisurely.
Tang Xiao smiled smugly, “Su Xiao Rui, I’m officially informing you that this genius has finished her graduation project.”
“(Snort). So fast? You went on a certain bao[1] to buy it?”
The day before yesterday, this chick was wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves[2] in the WeChat group. She said that her graduation project essay was driving her crazy. Yet, she could already see the light at the end of the tunnel[3]today?
“No.” Tang Xiao glared at Su Rui and added, “I just went to an international essay website, subscribed to a mbership, downloaded a few relevant articles. Then, I translated them from English to Chinese. Finally, I borrow phrases from it and piece them together.[4] Isn’t that done?”
“Is it reliable?”
“It’s all theoretical stuff. It just has that few ways of doing it. What’s there not to be reliable about? Okay, okay. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s hurry back. I can’t wait to see your son’s cute face!” Tang Xiao said as she beca more excited again.
On the way back to the car, she even searched the internet for photos of similarly dressed babies, specifically studying how others posed.
