Chapter 2801 Good intentions
There are no numbers for children.

Always greedy for more.

No matter how much your little belly can take.

At this time, parents need to stick to the bottom line.

Never be soft-hearted with your children.

That will only harm the child.

……

"They really don't suffer from indigestion?"

"No tooth decay?"

Zhuge Yun asked sincerely.

Even if it's a monster...

Yes.

They are monsters.

Zhuge Yun was stunned.

Then it cannot be measured by common sense.

They are just special.

It is different from their existence.

Zhuge Yun scratched his cheek.

"Ok."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Perhaps because he had never seen a monster with his own eyes, he still subconsciously looked at the monster from a human perspective.

Equating monsters with humans.

But no.

Maybe in some ways youkai are just like humans.

But in some ways, monsters are different from humans.

……

Zhuge Yun waved his hand.

"forget it."

He picked up two baskets.

"Old Three, do they have any requests for candy?"

If you can eat and have high requirements for food...

It's really not easy for the third brother.

This monster is too difficult to raise.

……

"No."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

If it weren't for his insistence, that monster would have been even less demanding about food.

……

"Ok."

Zhuge Yun shrugged.

"Let's split up."

Otherwise, with so many of them and each carrying two baskets...

By then, they will sweep away all the candies on the nearby shelves like a swarm of locusts...

It's a bit too eye-catching.

……

"Ow~"

Taotie pulled Xiao Xiao's hair.

Motioned for him to look in a direction.

……

Soon, Xiao Xiao understood what Taotie was interested in.

It was a giant lollipop.

of course.

This is compared to the excited children surrounding it.

……

Taotie's preferences never change.

Xiao Xiao shook his head with amusement.

He reached for the largest rainbow lollipop.

Several children looked up, their eyes following his movements from right to left.

There was a hint of envy on his face.

……

A child pulled at the clothes of his mother next to him.

A face full of coquettishness.

The meaning is self-evident.

The woman bent down, her expression gentle, but she shook her head firmly.

“That lollipop is too big.”

The woman said softly.

“You can’t eat it all in one go.”

"Mom will buy you other candies."

"look."

The woman reached for the basket. "Isn't this little lollipop cute?"

“There are all kinds of colors and flavors.”

"There's only one big lollipop."

The woman winked at the child, "But little lollipop mommy can buy you lots of them."

"Oh~"

The child's eyes lit up.

She was persuaded by her mother.

She rummaged through her mother's basket, looking through the various lollipops inside.

There seemed to be little stars twinkling in his eyes.

In an instant, I forgot about the large rainbow lollipop that I had been drooling over.

……

"Ow~"

Taotie pulled Xiao Xiao's hair again.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

he knows.

He reached over and took down all the large lollipops that were there.

Although there is only one largest lollipop.

But there were still a lot of other types of lollipops. In an instant, because of his actions, most of the shelves in that area were empty.

……

"Ah~"

Some children made noises similar to those of regret and sorrow.

Xiao Xiao tilted his head.

"Is there anything you want?"

……

"No."

Several parents of the children held their children back.

Most people would not buy this kind of candy which is more decorative than edible.

They won't buy it either.

After all, if the children eat a few more candies, they will warn them repeatedly...

A lollipop this big is too big for even an adult to finish in one go, let alone a child.

What to do if you can’t finish eating?
If you don't want to throw it away and waste it, just leave it there.

But leaving food like this is so unhygienic.

It's sticky and covered in dust...

……

"Young man."

One of the children's grandmothers couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy such a big lollipop?"

"Instead of buying this big one, you might as well buy more small ones."

“It’s easy to eat.”

"It's not as expensive as these big ones."

……

"Yes."

“This is so troublesome to eat.”

"Are you planning on eating one lollipop a day?"

"My mouth is so tired."

The old lady spoke first, and other parents followed suit and expressed their thoughts.

They really couldn't understand the young man's actions.

……

Zhang Bo and Zhuge Yun stood not far away and watched.

Their baskets were already full.

As for Zhao Luzheng, they asked him to go to the cashier to queue up to pay first.

They paid separately.

Although it may seem a bit like "covering one's ears and stealing the bell" if you think about it carefully, the two large baskets of candies filled by several people in a row when checking out... are still a bit too eye-catching.

Some things don't matter.

But because the candy buying spree is impressive...

Do they think it’s a bit too sweet?

It's so sweet that I can't even eat it.

……

They looked at Xiao Xiao with some sympathy.

Sometimes, kindness can make people feel burdened and overwhelmed.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"I bought these as props."

"And also for decoration at events."

“It’s only obvious when it’s this big.”

"Let people see clearly."

……

"oh oh."

The grandmothers and mothers nodded in understanding.

“It turned out to be bought for an event.”

“I saw it on TV…”

"I thought those were fake, but they turned out to be real?"

"This young man is honest. He bought the real thing, right?"

……

"correct."

"Since it's a prop, why not buy a fake one?"

One mother directly asked her doubts.

……

The waiter on the side twitched his mouth.

Although she was also quite surprised that these lollipops that had been in the store for a long time were finally bought by someone.

Or someone else bought it all.

But, surprise is surprise.

She was still very happy.

The price of these lollipops is proportional to their size.

It’s really a bit expensive.

Especially the biggest lollipop.

After selling these lollipops, their store's revenue this month will obviously be much better.

Gold coin symbols seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

So, when she heard what her grandma and mother said, she was really worried.

oops.

Everyone has decided to buy it.

Why are you still talking so much?
They are not children.

These grandmas and mothers are just not shy.

The waiter kept complaining in his heart.

But he didn't dare to really step forward and say anything.

She didn't dare to confront these grandmothers and mothers head-on.

At that time, everyone could make her speechless and "broken" with just one word.

She only dared to secretly cheer for the boy in her heart.

Come on.

Stick to your own approach.

Don't be persuaded.

What fake goods do you want?
This is disrespectful to the event!
