Infinite: Dawn Game

shop.

The shops in town are much bigger than the shops near the "pupa shop." Similarly, they have a wider variety of snacks, including boxed meals, than the shops in the "pupa shop." Of course, the points are also more expensive.

Yu Shijiu walked through the store, carefully selecting items for a long time before finally choosing a bunch of cookies and candies, as well as some spicy strips. As for the boxed lunches that looked decent, he simply ignored them.

Xu Han was right. After eating the food that Chen Yi had cooked himself, the ready-made boxed meals in the store were simply unpalatable.

Of course, this is an exaggeration.

According to Yu Shijiu, these boxed meals were quite delicious at first.

It's just that Chen Yi's cooking was better.

"This, this dried fish looks pretty delicious too."

Yu Shijiu opened the transparent cabinet, took out a bag of what looked like original-flavored dried fish, and handed it to Feifei with a smile, saying:

"How about I give it to you as a snack?"

Fatty licked its paws and meowed softly several times.

"You don't need to buy me any more, meow!"

"I need to be careful with my points, meow!"

For some reason, Yu Shijiu suddenly understood the thoughts revealed in Feifei's eyes.

He paused for a moment, then straightened up and took out nearly ten packets of dried fish from the transparent cabinet and stuffed them into his shopping cart.

Fatty: "?"

It eagerly clung to Yu Shijiu's clothes, meowing incessantly, unable to understand why Yu Shijiu was suddenly so generous and willing to spend money... even buying it snacks.

As a cat, Fatty doesn't actually consider himself greedy for snacks...

Yu Shijiu lowered her head to pull on the chubby paws, opened her mouth as if to speak—

"Huh? Why do I hear a kitten meowing?!"

It was a female voice that sounded somewhat familiar.

"Oh my god, Wang Han! Could it be that kittens are finally starting to spawn in our desolate and cold town?! This is amazing!!!"

"Um, could I have just imagined it...?"

It was a male voice.

"How could that be?! I heard it, didn't you hear it?"

"...I heard that too."

The two chattered closer and closer across several shelves, until they finally met Yu Shijiu's gaze as he tried to stuff dried fish into his shopping cart, only to be desperately stopped by Feifei.

"Ah, it's you guys."

Yu Shijiu blinked and greeted the somewhat familiar couple in front of her.

What a coincidence! It turns out to be the same couple I encountered in the last game instance, the one being chased by "Madam," the couple who seemed a bit dim-witted.

Liu Yao and Wang Han: "..."

The two subconsciously took a step back, then realized their actions were a bit odd, and stood there awkwardly laughing in response to Yu Shijiu's greeting.

"What a coincidence! Are you here to shop too?"

As soon as Liu Yao finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself.

What are you spouting?! Isn't it obvious you're here to shop?!

"Buy some food."

Yu Shijiu nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly thought of Liu Yao, who had been staring at him while he ate cookies in the previous game instance—it seemed like she wanted to steal his cookies.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

The friendly smile on his face vanished instantly, and he cautiously pulled the shopping cart back several steps.

The chubby guy next to him, half of his body hanging on his shopping cart: "..."

It stood upright on the shopping cart, its hind legs thumping backward several steps.

The movements were both comical and cute.

Liu Yao was genuinely charmed by her cuteness.

But she didn't dare touch it—she knew that this plump orange cat was a gift from Lu Chusheng to Yu Shijiu.

At the same time, Wang Han, who was next to her, also saw the wariness in Yu Shijiu's eyes.

Wang Han: "..."

He paused for a second, then subconsciously pulled his girlfriend aside to explain, "Actually, I wanted to say this in the game: we didn't mean to steal your cookies."

Liu Yao, who was resisting the urge to pet the cat, was speechless.

What the hell?

What did Wang Han just say?

What's with the cookie-stealing?

Liu Yao's mind flashed back to the scene of Yu Shijiu protecting his food in the game... Following Wang Han, Liu Yao also fell silent.

"No," Liu Yao felt she really should explain, "we really didn't mean to steal your cookies!"

Yu Shijiu across from her glanced at her with disbelief, "I believe you."

Liu Yao: "...No, that's not what your eyes are telling me."

She felt that Yu Shijiu looked rather silly—

"Wow!"

The awkward atmosphere was suddenly broken by a little girl's voice.

"Grandma," the little girl said softly, as if she were pleading.

"It seems there's only one box of green apple-flavored lollipops left."

"In that brother's shopping cart."

Yes, xylitol.

Grandma Mu's voice rang out, "Really? Then let's go ask that boy if we can have that box of lollipops, okay?"

Mutangtang nodded, "Okay, Tangtang will listen to Grandma."

The moment Mutangtang's voice rang out, the awkwardness on Liu and Wang's faces froze.

How could it be xylitol?

"elder brother."

A little girl in a princess dress and a gorgeous little crown walked quickly to Yu Shijiu, twirled around in front of him, gracefully and beautifully performed a skirt-lifting curtsy, and then smiled and said...

"Could I have the lollipops in your shopping cart?"

Yu Shijiu looked down and met the little girl's gaze, somewhat bewildered.

Knowing something, Liu Yao and Wang Han wanted to speak up to remind them, but before they could open their mouths, Grandma Mu looked over with a smile.

Liu Yao and Wang Han: "..."

They really did want to remind them...

Grandma Mu looked at them without saying a word, her tired and cloudy eyes remaining motionless, as if she were always looking at them with the same gaze.

Liu Yao and Wang Han were so under their gazes that they dared not move at all.

"elder brother?"

Seeing that Yu Shijiu remained silent for a long time, the little girl's eyes flashed with annoyance and coldness, but her tone remained sweet and gentle.

"No."

After realizing that the other party was there to steal his snacks, Yu Shijiu decisively shook his head and refused.

"I want a green apple flavored lollipop too."

Yu Shijiu bent down slightly towards the little girl and said earnestly:

"The store will be restocked tomorrow, you can come and buy new lollipops."

Xylitol: "..."

Her cute, delicate face wrinkled slightly, and she asked another question.

"But I really want to eat it today, brother. Can't you really give it to me?"

"No."

Similarly, Yu Shijiu once again firmly refused.

"Little sister."

Yu Shijiu continued to bend over, "If you want to eat it, you should come and buy it earlier, instead of asking me if I can."

Xylitol looked bewildered.

The chubby cat behind Yu Shijiu finally lay down again, licking its own paw pads and glancing sideways at the little girl in front of Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu thought for a moment and then added, "Even if you are very polite, I can't give in."

"Because I want to eat too."

Yu Shijiu repeated the sentence.

Xylitol: "..."
