Cute little witch.

Chapter 15: The Little Witch is Preparing a Gift

After coming out of the optical shop, Lu Xiaoyu's steps were 0.2 times faster because of her happiness. Discount activities like this always put Lu Xiaoyu in a good mood. After all, a pair of glasses, even the cheaper ones, would cost three or four hundred yuan. If you choose some better lenses and frames, it's not impossible for the price to exceed a thousand yuan. Lu Xiaoyu's current pair of glasses cost 500 yuan, and after the discount, it was 425 yuan. That was a full 75 yuan cheaper! The 75 yuan saved was already enough for several days' worth of food expenses!Lu Xiaotong looked at her elder sister's appearance and sighed quietly in her heart. If she was not mistaken, even if other people went there, the shop assistant would probably offer an 85% discount. Only her own sister would be so silly as to believe that the discount was really given because of a head pat. It was okay to be that silly in the past. After all, she was a boy back then, and the chances of encountering dangerous situations were relatively fewer. But now she has become a girl. If she's still like this, there will be problems. Lu Xiaotong was worried about her elder sister's future.

The two continued on their way to the clothing store. They hadn't even reached the halfway point of the journey when, perhaps because of eating something wrong at the breakfast shop in the morning, Lu Xiaotong's stomach had a slight twitching sensation, causing her to clutch her stomach. Fortunately, the commercial street they were going to was equipped with public toilets.

Unfortunately, her elder sister was a bit dim-witted and might really be tricked away by some bad guys accidentally. Should she ask Lu Xiaoyu to follow her to the toilet...? That seemed unnecessary and a bit too much. Lu Xiaotong was still fretting about it when her stomach had another twitch, forcing her to temporarily abandon her thoughts and turn to her elder sister, saying, "Sister, I'm going to the toilet. Don't wander around randomly, okay!""Okay." Lu Xiaoyu just nodded and then squinted at the other shops, not knowing what was on her mind.

Although Lu Xiaotong was very uneasy, her stomach couldn't allow her to continue thinking about it. She could only hope that her elder sister wouldn't really be that silly and be tricked away by something like goldfish or lollipops. The public security in Chenghua City was quite good. At least Lu Xiaotong hadn't heard of any children being abducted in recent years. But that was her own elder sister. She was the kind of person that Lu Xiaotong even wanted to keep locked in the room all the time. Who knew if she would stimulate others to have bad ideas.

"Anyway, I'm going to the toilet first. Sister, don't wander around, okay!" After saying that, Lu Xiaotong covered her stomach and ran to the toilet, leaving Lu Xiaoyu alone on the spot.

Seeing her younger sister run away, Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Xiaotong's back with a guilty conscience and silently said sorry in her heart. If she remembered correctly, there was a shop nearby that sold dolls. She even asked her uncle for food expenses today despite the risk of being scolded just to go to that place. Since Lu Xiaotong had been following her aunt, the two sisters hadn't lived together for a long time. Half of the Lu family's four members had gathered.

 Naturally, for such a celebration, she wanted to give her younger sister some gifts. Now that her younger sister had gone to the toilet, was there a better time to buy a gift?

Thinking like this, Lu Xiaoyu turned to look at the location of that shop. If she had a clear target, it would only take her a few minutes to go there and buy something. Her younger sister probably wouldn't have come out in such a short time, right? Hmm...

After confirming her thoughts, Lu Xiaoyu made her way to that store with her blurry vision and her memory. That store had been in the commercial street for quite some years. Since Lu Xiaoyu could remember, that store had always been there. Through the shop window, one could see all kinds of furry dolls and pink and white walls inside. It had once been a fairy-tale house for countless children. When Lu Xiaoyu was a child, she often heard that because of her poor eyesight, she would lie on the shop window and look for a long time, just like those little girls who wanted dolls but didn't have the money. She was really cute, which made many people pick up their mobile phones and take pictures of her. It was a bit scary. Lu Xiaoyu wasn't used to being treated like this, but in order to find the thing she had seen before, she continued to lie on the shop window until she finally found that doll.

She trotted to the shop window, took the doll down from there, and hugged it in her arms. The doll was half as big as her. Her chin rested on the doll's head, making her body look even smaller. The cute doll paired with the cute little girl made many people who were wandering around in the store look at Lu Xiaoyu all at once. Lu Xiaoyu walked timidly to the front desk, put the doll on the front desk, then stood on tiptoe to show her WeChat payment code. After paying, she carried the packaged doll out of the store. Looking at the 1% battery left on her phone, Lu Xiaoyu thought she was really lucky. If it had been a little later, she might not have had enough power to pay.

After going out, Lu Xiaoyu stood alone at the place where they had agreed before, hugging the doll and squeezing the soft doll in her arms. If she remembered correctly, her younger sister should like this very much. After all, a few years ago when they passed by this store, Lu Xiaotong had stayed in front of this doll for a long time. Lu Xiaoyu was thinking like this, a little impatiently waiting for her younger sister to come out so that she could give her a surprise.

-----------------

After waiting for about three minutes, Lu Xiaoyu finally saw a person whose back looked very much like her younger sister coming out of the toilet. Her movements were a bit sneaky, as if she was worried about something and was hugging the paper bag in her arms. After noticing that Lu Xiaoyu was looking at her, she shuddered all over and walked straight towards the interior of the commercial street.

"?" Lu Xiaoyu tilted her head, not understanding why her younger sister suddenly ignored her. Could it be that she was discovered because she didn't listen to Xiaotong's words and stayed where she was? But she just wanted to give her a surprise. The corners of Lu Xiaoyu's eyes drooped a dozen pixels, and the strength with which she hugged the doll also decreased a lot. (๑•́₋•̩̥̀๑)

She quickly followed "her younger sister" intending to explain something to her, but the more she wanted to get close to "her younger sister", the faster "her younger sister" walked, making it more and more difficult for her short legs to keep up. She was even panting in small gulps. Her footsteps became heavier and heavier, and the footsteps of "her younger sister" also became faster and faster, making it almost impossible for Lu Xiaoyu to keep up.

Hoping to walk faster to keep up with her sister, Lu Xiaoyu subconsciously wanted to make a wish, but the debuff on her hadn't been refreshed yet, so she had no way to continue making a wish.

"..."

"Xiao..."

She was just about to call out to "her younger sister" when the other person disappeared from Lu Xiaoyu's field of vision after walking around a corner.

"..."

Did she really make her sister angry? Lu Xiaoyu hugged the doll tightly, lowered her head and rested her chin on the doll's head. No, she had to explain it clearly to Xiaotong. With this thought in mind, Lu Xiaoyu followed her intuition and walked all the way into the depths of the commercial area.
