"... Pa, what do you think?" Bai Wu paired a knee-length short with a short sleeve shirt. He seemed like a sunshine boy.
"Uh huh... You look great, " Xu Lan gave him a long stare before finally replying. After angering Bai Wu the other time, he learned a new skill from the internet and it seemed to be working well with Bai Wu.
The store manager blushed and found a few more outfits for Bai Wu to try on. Bai Wu looked good in everything. He pulled off all the outfits better than the models did.
"Wow! Bai Wu, these clothes are made for you!"
"Really? Thank you, " Bai Wu responded politely to the store manager and glanced at Xu Lan who was sitting on the sofa.
'Since when did Bai Wu become so close to the store manager? Seeing how popular he is with women, I wonder how he will turn out when he grew older? Ah! He has the physical appearance of an eighteen-year-old now; he's in his prime!' Xu Lan thought.
"Sir, Bai Wu looked great in these clothes. Should I pack all of them up for you?" Through her conversation with Bai Wu, the store manager learned that the unhappy man who sat on the sofa was Bai Wu's father.
She was shocked. The man looked like he was in his early thirties. Although he was not exceptionally handsome, he exuded mature charm. His manly physical appearance was the complete opposite of Bai Wu; both of them had their own unique characteristics.
"Uh, it's fine. I'll pick some out myself. We came out in a rush and didn't bring too much cash along, " Bai Wu replied hurriedly, knowing fully well that Xu Lan did not have much to spare. It was just that Bai Wu enjoyed the look on Xu Lan's face whenever Bai Wu tried on something new.
As he just started studying, he wondered if 'astonished' was the right word to use.
"Some of the outfits are on discount. I brought them over because I think they would look great on Bai Wu. These are actually not expensive and I can give you a discount on the other outfits." Even though the store manager was supposedly talking to Bai Wu, her gaze was on Xu Lan.
"It's okay, Papa. I'm still growing and it would be a waste to splurge on these, " Bai Wu shook his head as he said.
"How much are these roughly? Bai Wu seemed to like them and he looked great in them, " Xu Lan asked as he reached for his wallet.
"For the normal-priced items, I can give you a 20 percent staff discount. Please wait as I do the calculation, " the store manager elaborated and reached for the calculator, "the total price is around one thousand and four hundred."
"It's fine, Papa. I really don't need all of them, " Bai Wu said immediately after noticing Xu Lan's throbbing temple.
"Don't worry about it, just get them all, " Xu Lan gave Bai Wu a gentle rub on the head as he said smilingly.
Xu Lan was amazed by how much Bai Wu had grown. Bai Wu used to be at Xu Lan's shoulder level, but he was almost at Xu Lan's eye level now. Giving Bai Wu a rub on the head was not as convenient as it used to be. Bai Wu pouted and lowered his head without saying anything.
"Alright, Alipay or WeChat?" asked the store manager. Meanwhile, the shop assistant who was watching Bai Wu stepped forward and packed the clothes up.
"Uh, cash, " Xu Lan said embarrassingly.
"Ah, okay. The total would be one thousand four hundred and ninety-eight, " the store manager said politely.
Xu Lan felt conned. He offered the cash in his shivering hand.
"Alright, here are your clothes. Thank you for your purchase and please come again! I'll give you a discount on your next visit too, " the store manager said in a friendly tone.
Xu Lan was tempted to say, 'I'll not be coming back again! That's a hefty price to pay for just five outfits! The white shirt that I'm wearing was only three for one hundred!'
"Papa, you didn't have to buy so many of them, " Bai Wu said as he tugged on the corner of Xu Lan's shirt gingerly.
