CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 544: CHANGES

The one speaking was naturally the long-haired girl Dou Dou had seen before with the bracelet.

She was very pretty but didn’t seem very old.

Her appearance didn’t surprise Shen Siyuan; she wasn’t following them closely from behind.

Shen Siyuan noticed that while he was talking to Dou Dou and the others, the girl came in, casually bought six or seven blind boxes, as if it was easier than shopping for groceries.

These small blind boxes were not cheap; one cost sixty-nine, and six or seven would be several hundred. Even though Shen Siyuan wasn’t short of money now, he found them expensive.

Buying one or two was fine, but buying a bunch seemed unnecessary—a complete waste of money.

Of course, everyone’s opinion varies, and Shen Siyuan understood, like how Hong Wenqing spends tens of thousands on outfits and pets in games.

"The previous ones." Dou Dou, seeing it was her, happily flaunted, as if she had drawn them herself.

Tang Tang carefully examined the small toy in hand.

Then suddenly stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hey!" Dou Dou exclaimed.

Shen Siyuan quickly stretched his hand to block her small mouth, ending up with her saliva all over his palm.

"You can’t eat this." Dou Dou said angrily.

"han~"

Tang Tang continued to smile silly.

The long-haired girl laughed, "Are these three your daughters?"

"Do you think that’s possible?" Shen Siyuan retorted, a bit speechless.

The long-haired girl didn’t dwell on the question but instead asked with a smile, "Are you selling this rare item?"

"Oh? You’re buying?"

Shen Siyuan was slightly surprised.

"I’ve drawn more than ten without getting it. Now that there’s one right here, why wouldn’t I want it?"

Shen Siyuan glanced at Tang Tang and asked, "Do you like it?"

If Tang Tang liked it, Shen Siyuan certainly wouldn’t sell it, as he wasn’t short on that bit of money now.

However, Tang Tang unexpectedly handed the blind box to Dou Dou.

Dou Dou took it and directly handed it to the long-haired girl.

"Sell~"

The long-haired girl laughed, reached out to receive it but looked towards Shen Siyuan.

"If she says sell, then sell."

"I’ll give you eight hundred; that’s about the market price right now." The long-haired girl said.

"Eight hundred?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised.

"I know the price is a bit low, but I didn’t deceive you." As she spoke, she opened an app, showing someone offering seven hundred and forty for it.

Shen Siyuan was greatly shocked that there’s a special trading app for these things—he was truly behind the times.

"It’s not that I feel it’s cheap; I’m surprised such a thing is worth this much."

The long-haired girl transferred eight hundred to Shen Siyuan without hesitation, saying, "I spent over a thousand trying to get her."

"Why didn’t you just buy it online?" Shen Siyuan asked, puzzled.

"Blind boxes need to be opened personally for the real surprise."

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan was even more puzzled. If that’s the case, why buy theirs?

The long-haired girl looked at Dou Dou, and Shen Siyuan seemed to understand.

"Thank you." Shen Siyuan expressed his gratitude.

"You’re welcome; I don’t lose anything anyway."

She flashed a brilliant smile, sweet and radiant.

But none of that mattered to Shen Siyuan; he lowered his head and asked Tang Tang to buy another one.

Dou Dou immediately tugged at Tang Tang, encouraging her to pick another rare design.

"There aren’t so many rare designs; Tang Tang, pick one you like." Shen Siyuan stopped Dou Dou’s actions.

Because Tang Tang might actually draw another rare type, but there was really no need.

This time, Tang Tang chose from the animal series, pointed to one without even looking, saying, "Little kitten."

So Shen Siyuan helped her pay, and upon opening, it was indeed a figure in a cat costume.

Indeed, Tang Tang was truly the chosen one.

Luckily, the long-haired girl had left by now, or she’d be shocked.

Upon leaving the store, Dou Dou eagerly asked, "Do we have money now?"

"Yes, eight hundred bucks."

"Is that a lot?"

"Of course, enough for you to buy toys and have a big meal this noon."

"I can’t eat, →_→."

"Oh, I meant enough for me and Tang Tang to have a big meal."

"Hmm, can’t you try harder, speed up a bit so we can eat too?" Dou Dou protested grudgingly.

"You little thing, now you’re lecturing me?"

Shen Siyuan tried to kick her small bottom, and she quickly ran forward.

Tang Tang saw her running and immediately chased after, only Duoduo remained quietly by Shen Siyuan’s side.

Shen Siyuan took the three of them to play in the mall until the afternoon.

He bought them toys, visited the arcade, watched a movie, and even bought Tang Tang some clothes.

Only then did he take them home.

By the time they got home, it was already past five in the afternoon, and they ran into Ruan Hongzhuang and the others as they returned from work.

They actually left work early to avoid the peak rush hour.

"Did you play outside all day?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked with a smile.

Seeing Tang Tang’s dirty bib, she realized they spent quite some time outside; otherwise, Mao Sanmei would’ve replaced it long ago.

"Yeah, Auntie, look."

Dou Dou handed the blind box to Taozi.

"It’s cute, is it for me?"

Dou Dou instantly hid her hands behind her back upon hearing this.

"Nope, these two, one is a gift from the pretty sister, and one Potato bought for me."

"Pretty sister? →_→" Ruan Hongzhuang turned to look at Shen Siyuan upon hearing this.

Taozi did the same, casting a suspicious gaze toward him.

"What nonsense are you thinking? It was just a chance encounter."

Shen Siyuan briefly explained the incident.

"Really? She didn’t ask for your WeChat?"

"No, what do you take me for? I’m not exactly someone irresistible, am I?" Shen Siyuan said, amused.

"You need more confidence; you don’t realize how attractive you are to women. Why else would Taozi be interested in you?" Ruan Hongzhuang patted his shoulder.

Taozi, who hadn’t spoken, turned red immediately.

"Really?" Shen Siyuan was a bit doubtful.

Ever since cultivating, his physique did improve, but his appearance hadn’t changed much.

"You exude an indescribable charm with a unique scent, like walking hormones, strongly attracting women. Haven’t you noticed women tend to gravitate towards you?"

"Really?"

Shen Siyuan thought back and realized there might be some truth to it.

He didn’t interact with many women daily, so hadn’t noticed, but few didn’t mean none. Like Wei Suhua from the same department seemed to enjoy hanging around Shen Siyuan whenever she could.

Could his body have undergone changes he wasn’t aware of?

Recalling the Flame Tree suddenly appearing in the Sea of Consciousness today, Shen Siyuan decided to carefully examine himself once home.
