Ran Jiang, holding the three rings, stood there in a daze, completely bewildered...

Why can you exchange heart shapes for circles?

"Now you know how useful you are, right?" Lin Mo touched her face, smoothing the girl's long-furrowed brows.

"If you just make a heart shape with your hand, even if we only buy something worth forty yuan, we can gain fifty yuan's worth of happiness."

"If you hadn't sat in the car acting all cute, we might not have gotten the lap."

"But...if I had fifty dollars..."

"Don't overthink it, it's just two kiddie rides. Save up and you'll buy them eventually."

Li Qingran listened to his words and nodded dejectedly, her interest still low.

In the past, the girl might have been fooled like that, but now, she no longer cared whether Lin Mo would leave, no longer cared whether the future would be bleak; she only cared whether Lin Mo was happy, whether Lin Mo was tired, and whether their home was alright...

Based on this standard, the girl's poor performance today still doesn't meet her expectations.

"Take a look and see which one you want, then we'll put one on you later."

Li Qingran got out of the shopping cart and was pulled by Lin Mo to the ring toss area.

This shopping mall is a bit stingy; the easiest things to get on the front are keychain stickers.

The valuables were hidden behind the thief, so such a small loop couldn't possibly catch them.

Li Qingran only glanced at it before her gaze was instantly drawn to a Crayon Shin-chan dog plush toy named "Shiro" at the very back, but it quickly dimmed.

She knew it would be difficult... and besides, she should choose what Lin Mo liked...

"Hmm... an orange."

Lin Mo noticed her changes but didn't point them out.

"Do you still remember superpowers?"

"Ah."

"I'll go try it. You wait here and don't be afraid, okay?"

"it is good."

Lin Mo ran out carrying the three rings.

Li Qingran stood obediently by the cashier, waiting for Lin Mo to return.

There weren't many people around at that time. The cashier, noticing the girl was alone, smiled and asked, "..."

Where is your boyfriend?

Li Qingran glanced at her, but remained silent.

The cashier was taken aback by the melancholy in the girl's eyes and couldn't help but empathize with her.

"He ran off with the hoop?!"

"He's going to activate his superpowers."

"???"

"That's just a trick to fool girls, there's no superpower involved," the cashier advised, drawing on her own experience.

"It's true." Li Qingran trusted it completely, but she wasn't sure if the superpower would work on the ring toss game...

After all, Lin Mo used to touch her only when he was doing his homework...

"Silly children, you two should still be in school. Take my advice, your studies should be the priority..."

"We're married," Li Qingran told the truth.

"Huh?!" The cashier was startled. That boy was really cunning, managing to seduce such an innocent girl like this.

Silence fell for a moment, and nearly half an hour passed, yet Li Qingran remained motionless, waiting.

The cashier felt sorry for him, wondering if the boy was going to start something and then abandon it.

For example... someone who is pregnant but doesn't want to take responsibility, so they specifically drag a naive young girl shopping, only to leave her at the supermarket and run away with some excuse?

Just as she was about to ask, Lin Mo rushed over in a flurry. She breathed a sigh of relief, then saw Lin Mo pulling Li Qingran's hand and starting to deceive the little girl...

"Ranbao, if you blow into the circle, you'll hit it every time."

The cashier chuckled. Although the young woman seemed sweet, such a childish trick...

"Whoosh, whoosh..." Li Qingran blew out a breath solemnly.

"OK." Lin Mo smiled at her, "With your superpower, we're all set."

So sweet~ But are you guys really not escaped from a mental hospital...? Why can't I understand what you're saying?

"First, put on the oranges."

After going around and around, he actually managed to catch a big orange. The cashier was stunned. How come his words came true?

However, it's understandable that the oranges are nearby.

"Give me another box of your favorite strawberries."

"Ta-la".

bingo.

The cashier stood up, incredulous.

It's okay, it's okay. Even though the strawberry is far away, it's not like no one has ever caught one. Maybe he was just lucky...

"For the last one, I'll hold your hand, and we'll throw together."

Lin Mo held her hand,

Li Qingran held her breath. One last one, just one more. If this also succeeded…

Will she make up for her mistake? Will she make Lin Mo happy? Does it mean...?

She can continue to be herself, a child who loves to snuggle in his arms, and also contribute to her and his "home."

There's no need to be the kind of adult she dislikes...

So, which one should I choose? Where will the ball go after I cast it?

The girl glanced at the little white doll instinctively, and was about to give up when Lin Mo grabbed her hand and shook it...

The circle drifted away, veering off course several times, but suddenly a strange gust of wind arose, slightly altering its direction.

Just like her life, any slight mishap would be gently smoothed out by Lin Mo...

The cashier jumped off the counter, her eyes wide with rage, because she saw the circle about to reach that spot...

This is not reality! Who am I? Where am I?!

...

"Go home."

Time flew by. Lin Mo carried a bag of fruit and tissues, while Li Qingran followed behind, hugging a dog plush toy with a happy expression. They arrived at their doorstep.

"You're back." Li Qingran mimicked Shin-chan's way of speaking.

"We're back."

Lin Mo opened the door with a smile, but the girl ran into the house before him, clattering up the stairs and then clattering back down.

"what happened?"

"Lin Mo, I also have seven yuan..." The girl hugged her doll, a rare smile appearing on her usually aloof face. She opened her palm, revealing seven coins.

"Seven dollars, to buy your sadness."

"What..."

Lin Mo was stunned, not quite reacting, only feeling that the midday sun was blindingly bright.

Li Qingran's voice was like heavenly music.

"There is no sadness, only happiness."

Oh no, she really does have superpowers.

Chapter 30 What is Love? (5400 words)

The distant sound of an airplane cutting through the air drifted over.

"Woo~"

"Lin Mo, I caught the plane."

Li Qingran leaned against the windowsill, her small hands forming the shape of binoculars, pointing at the airplanes drifting overhead. Suddenly, she clenched her fists tightly, as if she were holding the planes in her hands.

She shuffled quickly to Lin Mo's side in her creaking loafers, and solemnly extended her little hand that was holding the "airplane."

"for you."

"what-"

Lin Mo obediently opened his mouth, and the girl quickly opened her palm, putting the non-existent airplane into his mouth.

Whether or not he got to eat on the plane wasn't Lin Mo's concern; all he knew was that Ran Jiang's little hands smelled wonderful, like the most delicious glutinous rice balls in the world...

Feeling a dampness in her palm, the girl shivered, her expression turning strange.

"The plane I just caught is too hot, so I'm cooling it down with my saliva." Lin Mo said without changing his expression.

"You have something in your mouth..."

"Your saliva is hot, but your little hands are ice cold."

So you were actually using her hands to cool her down...?

Li Qingran pressed her cheek against the back of her hand; it had been cool just a moment ago, but now it was burning hot...

No, my face feels hot.

"Her little feet were also icy cold." She used this as an analogy...

“That’s a staple food, it’s prepared in a different way.” Lin Mo turned on the range hood. “There’s smoke, you can go outside and wait.”

Li Qingran pursed her lips, hesitated, then quietly walked out of the kitchen, returned to the bedroom, hugged her puppy plush toy, and sat down in front of the computer.

The doll was pure white, but compared to the girl's radiant skin, it wasn't pure enough, and the difference in color was noticeable.

I turned on the computer and played the Pleasant Goat cartoon from over ten years ago. Once again, Big Bad Wolf was chased away by Pleasant Goat and went home to make a pot of frog soup for Red Wolf.

The girl stared blankly.

"Grey Wolf doesn't eat sheep, but he keeps saying he wants to."

"Lin Mo, you don't dare to eat me, but you keep saying you want to."

The girl murmured, gently rubbing the dog's head in her arms, resting her chin on its head, and talking to the doll.

"Little White Wolf, Grey Wolf is a hungry wolf."

"Lin Mo, what kind of wolf is it?"

Thinking of a certain word, Li Qingran found it both funny and amusing. The cartoon started its next episode, and at the beginning, Grey Wolf ran out and shouted...

"Wife, I love you!"

He was greeted by Red Wolf's frying pan.

It was a very ordinary scene, but Li Qingran felt that one word suddenly struck her as jarring.

It pierced her heart with a sharp edge.

"You love me, but what about the sheep?!" Red Wolf kept nagging. "Go catch the sheep!"

time out.

Li Qingran was a little dazed. She opened Baidu and asked, "Are Grey Wolf and Red Wolf family?"

Mr. Baidu replied that they are family, a married couple.

Husband and wife have a relationship that is even closer than that of family members.

She then asked, "How can we become husband and wife?"
