    The front foot had just entered the store, and the female store manager warmly greeted her, greeting, “Four people? Who wants to buy shoes, here are the little sandals that just came in, very suitable for you cute little girls oh.”

    Zhao Ren was so frightened that she hid behind Lin Jingyi.

    “Thank you, we’ll just take a look for ourselves first and ask you if we have any questions we don’t understand.” Lin Jingyi said as she waved her hand.

    One shelf was filled with canvas shoes as well as small white shoes, another with various styles of sneakers, and the stalls were filled with flip-flops and sandals, leather shoes were also available, though less so.

    “Rei, come try it on.”

    Lin Jingyi carried a pair of white sandals with small flowers and pulled Zhao Ren to sit down.

    The brown rubber sandals on Jo Ren’s feet were very ungirly and badly worn.

    When the snaps on the laces are broken, the laces are fused together at the joints with a fire, which is very unsightly.

    “Brother, help me put it on.”

    Cheng Li placed a pair of pink rabbit ear sandals in front of Cheng Ming.

    “Eh, just wear it yourself.”

    Cheng Li lowered his face and inclined his head, looking at Lin Jingyi and Zhao Ren next to him.

    “Sister Lin, aren’t my feet a bit ugly?” Zhao Ren asked as she covered her little feet.

    Jo Ren was a little ashamed to show her feet, although she had washed them well before she left the house, the sunburn and strangulation marks caused by wearing sandals for so long were obvious, along with the freshly scabbed scars.

    Lin Jingyi gently caressed the scar and asked, “Does it still hurt?”

    “It doesn’t hurt anymore, it’s just itchy, but I’m holding back from scratching it and waiting for it to come off on its own.”

    “Great, great, great. How’d you get hurt?”

    “I accidentally got scraped while going up the mountain with Grandpa to collect firewood.”

    Ah, how cozy.

    If he was alone with Zhao Ren today, the person who was touching her feet would have been himself.

    Although it was fine for Cheng Ming to hang out with someone one-on-one, there was no need to make it seem like cheating, and familiarize themselves with each other’s presence early on. It would be best if they could become good friends, but from his sister’s side, there was little hope.

    After all, they were Cheng Ming’s most important people.

    “Brother!”

    The jealous Cheng Li kicked Cheng Ming’s knee with a displeased face.

    Look at another girl in front of your sister. Don’t go overboard, brother.

    Returning to his senses, Cheng Ming patted the dust on his pants and said, “I know, I’ll just help you put it on.”

    Cheng Li sat on a small bench, propped her hands on her body, raised her small feet high above her, and said, “Hurry up.”

    That’s not really the kind of action a grade schooler would do.

    Cheng Ming squatted down and took off his sister’s small white shoes, the thin pink and white socks wrapped around the slender feet.

    Cheng Ming grabbed the small foot that was surplus to requirements, and holding the sandal in his other hand, he intended to stuff his foot in like this.

    “Brother, help me take off my socks too.”

    “It’s okay to wear it, right?”

    “It’ll get your socks dirty.”

    “Shhh, the store manager is still around.”

    Cheng Ming glanced over toward the store manager, who had a standard business smile on her face.

    Cheng Ming pinched the seam of the sock between his toes and pulled it outward, taking off the sock and revealing his crystal clear white little feet.

    My sister usually doesn’t wear sandals much, she usually wears small white shoes or canvas shoes to school, and only wears slippers at home. So she didn’t have as bad a sunburn as Zhao Ren, and was well protected.

    “Well? My feet look much better than hers, don’t they?” Cheng Li asked smugly as she turned her feet around in a showy manner.

    Cheng Ming patted the back of Cheng Li’s foot and said, “Yes, white and tender, it must be delicious.”

    “Then you’ll eat it for me.”

    Cheng Li raised her foot and tried to shove it into Cheng Ming’s mouth, and her other foot, which was still wearing socks, came pinning towards Cheng Ming’s face.

    Cheng Ming grabbed Cheng Li’s feet, closed them together and clamped them under his armpits, and said with a stern face, “Xiao Li, but it’s too much, I’m going to let you know today that your brother’s majesty can’t be trampled on, look at my tickling technique.”

    Cheng Ming tickled the bottom of his sister’s foot, the one without socks was even more sensitive. When he tickled it, the foot would bend a little, and his body twitched slightly, a very cute reaction.

    Cheng Li covered his mouth and forced a laugh.

    Cheng Ming, on the other hand, increased his efforts, five fingers in unison, scratching left and touching right.

    “Hahaha ……”

    The broken Cheng Li let out a loud laugh, her body twisting around like a bug, her face red, and her panting.

    Lin Jingyi grabbed Cheng Ming’s and Cheng Li’s heads respectively and said in a bad mood, “Have you two played enough, pay a little attention to the occasion ah, this is not your home, it’s a store.”

    Cheng Ming immediately stopped and let go of his sister’s feet, indeed he had overplayed his hand a bit.

    “It’s all my brother’s fault!”

    Cheng Li lifted his leg to Cheng Ming’s face and started to dump it.

    Cheng Ming had to grab his sister’s feet again.

    “You started the nonsense, didn’t you?”

    “It’s brother, I’m just plain letting you help me put my shoes on, huh?”

    “No more fooling around.” Lin Jingyi smiled kindly and turned around to continue going to pick out shoes for Zhao Ren.

    Cheng Ming carefully put on his sister’s sandals.

    Cheng Li stood up, his shoes stepping on the plastic packaging bags on the floor, making a ‘snapping’ sound.

    “Well? Does it hurt your feet?”

    “A little on the heel side.”

    “They’re shoes that rub heels, ah, get another pair.”

    Cheng Ming took off his sister’s shoes, and just for a moment, his heels were a little red.

    Cheng Ming rubbed his sister’s heel, put the shoes back on the shelf, and picked another pair of pink sandals with a soft texture material, Zhao Ren and Cheng Li then tried the small white shoes and canvas shoes after that.

    “Does it fit? Does it fit perfectly?”

    Lin Jingyi pinched the toe of her shoe and used to stick the end finger into her heel.

    “Completely fit is not good, and then increase a size, small children grow fast, buy fit soon can not wear, you can buy a slightly larger, can wear longer, add an insole will fit, sandals, a little bit bigger will not affect the walk.”

    “Jing Jing you’re really hardworking and thrifty.” Cheng Ming sighed.

    “It’s basic common sense alright, you can’t spend money.”

    “Jing pick out a few pairs of your favorite shoes too.”

    “Eh, I’m even, I’m just here to buy a dress.”

    “A new dress looks good with new shoes.”

    At Cheng Ming’s insistence, Lin Jingyi also tried on two shoes, but she hadn’t bought a dress yet, and she didn’t have much of a clue what shoes she wanted to buy now is all.

    After asking the prices of the picked out shoes in turn, Lin Jingyi put her palms together and said, “Well, it’s almost time to try on this spot, let’s go to the next store.”

    Here’s the horror of women’s shopping, comparison shopping, walking over and turning back.

    If it is Cheng Ming, it is estimated to look good, wear comfortable and directly buy down, I do not know where Cheng Ming courage to accompany the three girls shopping, or he took the initiative to initiate.

    Ah, it felt like the store manager could barely keep up his business smile and his face was going black.

    After trying all the shoe stores, Lin Jingyi asked, “Rei, which shoes from which store are your favorite?”

    “Eh, I don’t know.” Jo Ren said, shaking her head, her single ponytail swaying around.

    “It’s better if we help her choose.”

    Due to her low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence, Zhao Ren hides a lot of things in her heart, and she is even more respectful of other people’s kindness.

    Cheng Ming had sort of forcefully torn a hole in her shell, but it wasn’t enough.

    It’s not just about having others recognize her, it’s about recognizing herself.

    When did Jo Rei become confident in her previous life?

    After college? Seems like it’s going to be even earlier.

    Or after you’re done with him?

    I don’t think so. It’s not like that kind of thing adds any buffs.

    “Brother, which pair of shoes do you think I look best in?” Cheng Li asked as she twirled around in front of Cheng Ming.

    Cheng Ming cupped Cheng Li’s face and said, “You look good in any shoes, so pick shoes that don’t hurt your feet.”

    “Brother you suddenly say …… say what ah, don’t think that by saying such things I will forgive you for what you just did.”

    “I saw the exact same shoes at another store, they were cheaper than yours, so let’s just go to that store.”

    Lin Jingyi turned to leave, and the shopkeeper hesitated before compromising to stay.

    “My mom and I always patronize your store, remember? I even brought a friend this time, give us a discount, we’ll come back next time.”

    “You can buy so many pairs of shoes at once for cheaper, right?”

    “If a shoelace breaks or a shoe comes off, can I come to you to get it fixed?”

    Not only was the price slashed like a dragon killer, but even the after-sales service was taken care of, so I’m sure it was the right choice to bring Jing.

    When Cheng Ming pulled out money to pay, Lin Jingyi grabbed the money and said, “Xiao Ming, I’ll pay for my shoes myself.”

    “I’ll do it, just count it as your hard-earned money for cutting the price.”

    “Things over here are cheap, but the quality control really doesn’t work, and the markups are inflated. If the foreign whites are easily ripped off, at least cut it down to less than half price. Or even about one-third of the original price is about right.” Lin Jingyi said with her head in her hands.

    After strolling through the lower level, Cheng Ming’s hands were already carrying large and small bags.

    Rather, it’s what comes next that’s the main event.

    But after all, this is not the kind of specialized clothing store, not even the kind of simple dressing room surrounded by a few black curtains, you can only directly put on a skirt or jacket to try on, and the pants are just on the waist to compare to see if the trouser legs will be too long.

    So there was the scene of Lin Jingyi wearing jeans under her skirt.

    “Pffff……” Cheng Li covered her mouth and snickered, she wouldn’t let go of any opportunity to mock Lin Jingyi.

    “Sure is weird, isn’t it? I’d rather not wear a dress.”

    Lin Jingyi, who was like a god of war chopping prices just now, was wriggling like a little girl this moment.

    Cheng Ming gently knocked his sister’s head and said, “It’s not that it’s weird for you to wear a skirt, it’s entirely because this skirt doesn’t match the jeans inside.”

    “But this skirt is so short, it makes people uneasy.” Lin Jingyi said as she patted her calf.

    This skirt is only knee-length where short, you let the group of people wearing buttocks short skirt how to live ah.

    “Just put on some stockings, this store still sells stockings, so pick some up and go back.”

    Bare legs had their good points, but stockings also had their good points, Cheng Ming had already imagined the image of black silk strangling the flesh of Jing’s thighs.

    When she went to check out, Lin Jingyi grabbed the money again, “You’ve already bought the shoes for me, so let me pay over here.”

    “Good, you buy one for yourself, I’ll buy another skirt for you, just one skirt how is it enough to wear, two skirts in order to change.” Cheng Ming plan throughly said.

    Cheng Li held three or four strips of black silk and meat silk on the counter.

    “Xiao Li, you want this?” Cheng Ming asked with the corners of his mouth twitching.

    “Can’t you? I should try the grown-up stuff too.”

    “Little friend, there is no model for you to wear here, the style over there is more suitable for you.” The store manager said, pointing to the white stockings and the colorful rainbow socks.

    “Don’t, those are too childish, white I have plenty of mine already, mom always buys me a meal of white stockings.”

    “Are you just a kid?”

    “Does Rei want them? White socks.”

    “I don’t want the white ones either, they get dirty easily and don’t wash well.”

    I was just shopping for shoes as well and didn’t want white shoes.

    But Cheng Ming still forcefully shoved a pair of small white shoes at her.

    Cheng Ming, however, knew that Zhao Ren’s favorite color was white, perhaps it was repressed for too long when she was a child and only exploded when she grew up.

    “Get a pair of white socks, it’s not like you have to work every day, there are occasional breaks where you won’t soil yourself, and besides, I like the way you look in white silk.”

    “Lai, why are you kicking me!”

    “No likes allowed, I’m getting white silk too.”

    “Isn’t there a lot more at home?”

    “Not too much, get a pair dirty and get a new pair.”

    “You loser girl.”

    In the end, Cheng Ming still bought white silk for his sister.
