Chapter 16 Preparations Before Leaving
Chapter 16 Preparations Before Leaving
"Little Sizi, how about this older sister takes you to the fitting room over there to try on some clothes?" Lin Fan looked down at Little Sizi and pointed to the small room not far away.
"Little cutie, shall I take you to change into some pretty clothes?" The saleswoman immediately stepped forward enthusiastically.
Little Sizi looked somewhat resistant: "No, I want my husband!"
Little Sizi didn't want to leave Lin Fan at all. She turned her head and hugged Lin Fan's neck tightly with her little hands. It was obvious that the morning they spent together had made her more dependent on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan patted Xiao Sizi's shoulder and pinched her little cheek: "Be good, Xiao Sizi. Let this older sister take you to change. You'll be even cuter after you change, and your brother will be waiting for you at the door. Don't be afraid! Okay?"
"No way! I want you to change my clothes!" Little Si buried her head deeply in Lin Fan's arms.
Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless; he didn't know how to explain to Xiao Sizi, "Isn't our Xiao Sizi the most well-behaved and obedient?"
Yes, that's right.
"That's right! Listen to your brother. After you've changed, I'll buy you something delicious and a little car!" Lin Fan knew that normal persuasion wouldn't work, so he immediately changed his approach.
Little Sizi immediately perked up at the mention of delicious food and toy cars, snuggling into Lin Fan's arms and asking, "Really? Then the pot will have to wait outside for a while!"
"Okay! Don't worry, Sizi. Now you'll be a good girl and go with your sister, okay?"
"Okay then." Little Sizi pouted and nodded. Although she was still a little unhappy, she was clearly no longer as resistant as before.
Seeing that Xiao Sizi had no objections, the saleswoman happily took Xiao Sizi from Lin Fan's arms: "You're such a good boy, I'll take you to change your clothes now!"
"It's not 'xi ji'!" Xiao Sizi immediately corrected the saleswoman's pronunciation.
"Yes, that's what you're talking about, sister," the sales assistant replied patiently as she walked into the fitting room.
Lin Fan stood aside with a wry smile. After a few minutes, the fitting room door was pushed open, and Xiao Sizi came out wearing a pink tutu, followed by a sales assistant.
"Hey bro! Look! Isn't it pretty?"
Lin Fan immediately spotted Xiao Sizi and quickly walked over to her, squatting down in front of her. "Wow, where did this little fairy come from? Is she our Sizi? She's so beautiful!" Lin Fan opened his mouth wide and stared with wide eyes, his expression both endearing and exaggerated, which made Xiao Sizi laugh heartily.
"Hehe, of course it's my little one!" The little ox twirled around in front of Lin Fan.
Lin Fan never expected that Xiao Sizi would look so good in a modern dress. She looked both ethereal and adorable. Even some popular young stars couldn't compare to Xiao Sizi in his eyes.
"This dress seems to have been made for this little cutie; most kids wouldn't be able to pull it off like this," the saleswoman said with a smile.
Lin Fan nodded, indicating his agreement with her statement, and then led Xiao Sizi to the mirror next to him: "Sizi, come and see, who is in this picture?"
At Lin Fan's prompting, Xiao Sizi finally noticed herself in the mirror: "Wow, isn't it amazing!"
Little Sizi pointed at herself in the mirror, covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise. It was the first time she had ever seen such a big mirror. She couldn't help but turn around in front of the mirror again, and then put her little face close to the mirror and made a funny face.
Seeing how happy Xiao Si Zi was, Lin Fan felt that everything he had done today had been worthwhile.
Lin Fan quietly squatted to the side, waiting for Xiao Sizi to admire her stunning beauty in the mirror before taking her little hand and returning to the cashier.
The saleswoman quickly calculated the price of Lin Fan's clothes and shoes, then handed him a receipt: "Sir, please take a look. This is today's purchase. I gave you a 20% discount, which is the maximum I can do."
After receiving the receipt, Lin Fan glanced at it. The three dresses and one pair of shoes totaled a little over 700 yuan, which was a reasonable price. He then took out his phone and quickly paid.
After the payment was successful, Lin Fan carried three bags and led Xiao Sizi out. The female sales assistant followed them to the door, saying, "Take care, gentlemen. Please come again if you need anything in the future!"
Lin Fan turned around, smiled, and nodded: "Thank you!"
"Goodbye, Jie Jie!" Little Si Zi had also learned to wave goodbye.
"Hey, goodbye, little cutie!"
The sales assistant watched Lin Fan holding Xiao Sizi's hand and felt a pang of disappointment. She muttered to herself, "What an adorable child, what a handsome young man! I didn't even have the courage to ask for their contact information. What a pity..."
"Hey! What's wrong with our Manager Liu today? She's standing at the door looking completely lost!" A teasing voice suddenly rang out from behind the saleswoman.
"Of course it's because they're in love! Didn't you see that young man and girl just now? One was handsome and the other was cute. Judging from our Manager Liu's expression, they obviously don't want them to leave!" Then another employee's voice rang out.
The saleswoman turned around, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Zhang'er, what nonsense are you talking about? It would be terrible if someone heard you!" After saying that, she looked back at the direction Lin Fan and Si Zi had left in, but unfortunately, the two of them were already gone.
Lin Fan led Xiao Sizi back to the first floor. He had promised to buy Xiao Sizi some treats and a stroller, and of course he wouldn't forget. Seeing a passerby pushing a stroller not far away, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
"Sizi, do you see that auntie pushing that stroller?" Lin Fan squatted down and pointed to a spot not far away, asking Sizi.
"Yes, I saw it!"
"What do you think of that car, Sizi? Do you like it?"
"I love it!" Xiao Sizi nodded without hesitation. She had seen many people pushing these kinds of carts in the mall today.
"Okay! Then I'll buy you one of these strollers!" Lin Fan's thinking was simple: a large stroller would not only allow Sizi to sit inside, but also have enough space to hold a lot of things! It would be a win-win situation.
He had just strolled around downstairs and remembered there was a maternity and baby supplies store there. Soon after, Lin Fan brought Xiao Sizi to the store.
The owner of the maternity and baby store was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Lin Fan leading Xiao Sizi in, he immediately came to greet him.
"Handsome, what do you need?" he said, glancing at the well-behaved and adorable little Sizi.
Lin Fan first looked around the store, and only after not seeing a suitable stroller did he ask, "Boss, what's the largest size stroller you have?"
"Large cars take up too much space, so we usually store them in the back warehouse. Please have a seat for a moment, and I'll go find two models for you!" The boss said without hesitation, leading the two to the rest area to sit down before heading into the store.
After more than ten minutes, the boss, pushing with one hand and pulling with the other, came through the narrow aisle with two strollers.
One was light brown, and the other was sky blue. They differed in size, function, and style. Lin Fan's initial requirement was that it be big enough.
Ultimately, on the shop owner's recommendation, Lin Fan chose the sky-blue stroller, which was double-layered and made of more sturdy materials. The shop owner said that this stroller could support up to 100 kilograms, and it was more than enough to carry two children and some other things. It also had a sunshade made of special materials, so there was no need to worry about wind, rain or sunshine.
After paying, Lin Fan removed the protective film and picked up Xiao Sizi, placing her in the car. The clothes and bags were put on the second shelf. It was Xiao Sizi's first time riding in such a car, and she was incredibly excited, touching and looking around, occasionally staring at Lin Fan with a silly grin.
Outside the mall, the sun was at its strongest. Lin Fan opened the parasol he had stored at the entrance and also lowered the sunshade on the stroller, completely covering Xiao Sizi.
"Hey buddy, are you home yet? When are you coming home?" Because the awning blocked the view, Xiao Si couldn't see Lin pushing the cart behind them.
"Yes, Sizi! Don't be afraid! I'll take you to buy some more delicious food and then we'll go home!"
"Yay! Guoguo is the best!" Hearing Lin Fan's response, Xiao Sizi felt much more at ease. When she heard that he was going to buy some delicious food, she danced around happily in the car!
