Chapter 1122 - 1120: Don’t Move!
"Lin Feng, where are we going?" Xia Lalan couldn’t help but ask as they strolled down the street, unsure of where Lin Feng was leading them. At this moment, the children also turned their gaze towards Lin Feng, happy to be out but they hadn’t thought about this question either.
"I’m going to take you to the most famous snack street here, to experience the delicacies of the Secular World," Lin Feng said with a smile upon hearing Xia Lalan’s question.
"Food? We don’t need to, surely it’s not as delicious as what Teacher Lin makes."
"Yeah, we want to see something different."
"Who could make it tastier than Teacher Lin? It’s pointless."
...
Listening to Lin Feng’s plan, the children all expressed their opinion. They had tasted the barbecue Lin Feng cooked, a flavor they believed could not be replicated in the Secular World, so they really didn’t have much interest.
"Actually, there are many snacks that are very distinctive and taste pretty good. The variety of food here in the Secular World is far more than in the Hidden World. You all can try and taste different flavors," Lin Feng said with a laugh, eager to let the children experience various things in the Secular World, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Hearing this from Lin Feng, the children didn’t say anything more and followed behind Lin Feng, continuously observing this bustling world they were visiting for the first time...
Soon, Lin Feng brought the children to Rongyang Department Store, suddenly realizing their clothes were dirty and inappropriate for the Secular World. He then pulled the children into the department store, planning to buy some clothes for them so they could blend into the life of the Secular World more quickly.
Xia Lalan and the children all agreed to this. They had already seen other children dressed very nicely and fittingly, and they were itching inside to look the same. They just didn’t know how to shop and felt awkward to speak up.
Since they had a clear goal, Lin Feng directly led Xia Lalan and the children to the children’s clothing section on the third floor. As soon as they entered, some of the younger children were completely astonished!
"Wow, this is so pretty!"
"I wouldn’t even dare to think about these styles in the Hidden World!"
"It’s really beautiful, so beautiful!"
...
Seeing the clothes in the children’s section, the children were extremely excited. They fell in love with them at first glance. The styles were unique and vastly different from those in the Hidden World. They didn’t need to try them on to feel how pretty they were, and for a moment, their eyes nearly lit on fire, wishing they could change their clothes right away.
Seeing all the beautiful children’s clothes, Xia Lalan was also impressed. She felt that these clothes were indeed much better than those the children were wearing. If they could change, the children would definitely love them.
"They are too childish!"
"We don’t like these clothes!"
"Teacher Lin, are there other styles of clothes?"
...
A slightly older group of children, including Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu, shared their opinions. Although they admitted the clothes were nice, they felt they were too childish. Despite being young in age, their heights were already like teenagers, and wearing such childish clothes made them feel uncomfortable.
Hearing this from the more robust children like Xia Jianping, Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, these children’s clothes were not suitable for them, as their stature was already beyond average children. With that, he decided to take them to look elsewhere.
Thinking this, he called over Xia Lalan.
"Lalan, I’ll take Xia Jianping and the others to look around elsewhere. You take the other children here to pick, here’s the money. Buy whatever you want with this!" Lin Feng said, explaining his thoughts to Xia Lalan before handing her a stack of Euros, allowing her to shop for the children. After finishing these arrangements, Lin Feng left with Xia Jianping and the others...
Although Lin Feng had already left, Xia Lalan was stunned looking at the money in her hand. After coming to the Secular World, Ding Wan’er had told her some things about it, and she vaguely knew that these were Euros, quite valuable, though she didn’t know exactly how valuable they were. However, seeing so much money in her hand, she looked towards Lin Feng, not understanding why Lin Feng usually carried so much money.
But since Lin Feng had already left, she didn’t question it further. So, she put the money in her pocket and called the children to go pick out their items...
Entering the children’s clothing department, the kids immediately became wildly excited. Apart from the few taken away by Lin Feng, over twenty children rushed toward several sections all at once, their eyes dazzled by the array of clothing available, unsure of what to select.
Seeing the children like this, Xia Lalan was also very happy, but she couldn’t be in two places at once, so after giving the children some brief instructions, she followed the largest group to help them choose their favorite clothes.
Some of the youngest children entered an extremely luxurious-looking shop.
As soon as the children appeared inside the shop, they immediately attracted the surprised glances of the salesclerks, who felt these children were dressed oddly, almost as if they had walked out of a movie, with some clothes torn and even dirty in places, making them look quite disheveled. The clerks wondered how these children could be like this and where their guardians were.
But the children didn’t care about the stares of the salesclerks; instead, they began to wander around the shop. This caught the attention of the shop manager, who immediately showed a trace of annoyance on her pretty face!
"You kids, get out of here quickly. This isn’t a place for you. Do you know where you are? Everything here is very expensive. If you damage any item, even selling you wouldn’t cover the costs. Where are your parents? Leave now!" A poised woman, probably in her early thirties, dressed in elegant white clothes and slightly pretty, scowled at the children with anger. She was genuinely puzzled where these scruffy kids came from, looking like this they clearly couldn’t afford anything here, and scared they might dirty the clothes, she wanted to drive them out immediately.
"Where are your adults? Hurry up and leave."
"Please leave quickly, our manager is getting angry!"
Hearing what Hu Yu had said, the expressions of two shop assistants changed immediately, and they rushed over to the children, urging them to leave. The manager getting angry was a frightening sight, and they didn’t want to get dragged into it.
"Why bother talking to these poor kids, just drive them out quickly, did you hear? If other customers see such dirty children in our shop, how can we continue doing business? Quick, drive them out!" Seeing the two assistants still wasting words on the children, Hu Yu’s expression grew even worse, speaking harshly, not wanting these dirty kids to continue impacting the business.
"Why should we leave, we came here to buy clothes?"
"Yeah, it’s strange, how do you know we can’t afford it?"
...
The kids were originally in a good mood but became upset upon hearing Hu Yu’s words. They all asked incredulously, thinking it’s just selling clothes, why are there some things they can’t afford? Moreover, the woman was speaking too harshly, which made the children have a very bad impression of Hu Yu.
"Still buying clothes? Have you seen what you look like? Do you even know what brand this is? This is an international high-end brand. Can you afford it? Honestly, even selling you wouldn’t cover the purchase of one piece!" Hearing the children say this, Hu Yu became enraged, pointing at them and speaking extremely rudely, clearly looking down on the children, implying that they, being so poor, should not come here.
But just as she finished speaking, she saw a young girl, not even ten, suddenly reaching out to touch a princess dress and quickly rushed towards it...
...
Xia Xin suddenly noticed a model wearing a white princess dress, her eyes immediately sparkled, and she walked towards the dress. She really loved the dress and couldn’t help reaching out to touch it, but just as she was about to touch the dress, suddenly there was a furious shout!
"Don’t touch!"
Hu Yu’s face turned livid, she shouted at Xia Xin, extremely angry, these clothes were not for these children to touch, and it was also a white princess dress, what would she do if it got dirty! So after shouting, she immediately rushed over, planning to push the little girl away to prevent Xia Xin from reaching out again.
It was only a step or two away, and Hu Yu quickly got beside Xia Xin, her hand about to push Xia Xin, but with her ordinary capabilities, how could she possibly touch Xia Xin? Just as Hu Yu’s hand was about to touch Xia Xin, Xia Xin swayed and dodged, but then the accident occurred.
Hu Yu, who had intended to push Xia Xin, never expected the child to move so quickly, and when Xia Xin dodged, her hand exactly pushed the shelf originally behind Xia Xin, and immediately, the shelf started tipping towards the ground...
"Bang!"
Under everyone’s gazes, the shelf fell to the ground, the clothing falling to the floor, making a very dull sound. Instantly, the shop became dead silent, no one expected such a thing to happen...
This is bad!
What should we do!
The two assistants saw the situation, and they were both shocked. Here was an international brand’s spot, normally those who come to buy this brand’s children’s clothing are wealthy, now with a whole shelf’s clothes on the ground, how would they deal with it? The value of the clothing on this shelf was astronomical to them, how would these children pay!
From their perspective, they didn’t see clearly and thought it was the children’s fault, so now they both became worried for the children. So many clothes were dirtied, what should they do? The manager was already a harsh person, and now faced with this situation, she would definitely erupt in fury.
