"Then it's agreed, you can bring me to buy it next month when you have enough money." After hearing Wu Shen's words, Mai could only reluctantly look away.
"But next time I have money, didn't I agree to buy you a cell phone first? After I buy the cell phone, I won't have money to buy toys."
"Mom will make a lot of money with her book, so it won't be a problem to buy dozens of cell phones." Wu Yi shook his little hand, made corresponding movements, and said disapprovingly.
"Let's not talk about my relationship with Utaha being far from that stage. Mai, you haven't forgotten that Utaha's debut novel is still unfinished, right?"
Hearing this Mai showed an expression that looked like the world was ending.
"Next month, if you want a cell phone or a toy, you can only choose one." Wu Shen couldn't spoil Mai too much. He didn't want to raise a naughty child.
Although the current Kasumigaoka Mai is a bit strange and always likes to act cute to cover up her mistakes, she is still very good and obedient when it comes to matters of principle.
"So... then I want a cell phone. But not a flip phone, but a cell phone that can play lots of games! That way you can kill two birds with one stone, perfect!" Mai stood in place and struggled for a long time and finally discovered a good way to get the best of both worlds.
"You're very smart, aren't you? Then it is resolved." Wu Shen breathed a sigh of relief after finally diverting Mai's attraction to the toy.
If Mai pursues this matter and resorts to the trick of crying and making trouble, the move would be a critical blow to Wu Shen. If he was beaten by this move and his heart softened, he might not be able to keep the money for the clothes he had prepared in his pocket, and he would have to give it all away, and he might not even have the money to pay for the trip back. .
"One more thing, remember not to call me 'father' here." Wu Shen reminded in a low voice.
"Father, are you going to abandon me?" Mai suddenly seemed possessed by an Oscar-winning actor. She raised her head and showed a pitying expression, her famous puppy dog eyes.
However, Wu Shen was already completely immune to this move.
"I'm very young, being called 'father' among so many people will attract a lot of unnecessary attention. And if I end up meeting an acquaintance and he hears you call me that, I won't be able to defend myself," Wu Shen explained patiently.
Mai is six years old, and according to the average age, Wu Shen who in the future should be in her thirties when Mai is at that age. The difference in appearance between a seventeen-year-old and a thirty-year-old is still very large.
"Okay, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad…" Seeing Wu Shen's expression so serious, Mai could only nod her head.
"Stop! Why did you call me that so many times?" Wu Shen looked embarrassed.
"I just wanted to call you that a few more times while I still could." Mai showed an innocent smile.
Wu Shen raised his head and held his forehead, but he didn't stop at all and let her mutter in her mouth.
At the end of the shopping street, you can see a four or five-story department store, which is Wu Shen's goal today. Because in addition to buying clothes, Wu Shen also plans to buy some specialized personal care and daily use products for children.
After all, it is inconvenient to continue to run out of certain items, such as slippers, mouthwash and toothbrushes, and the minimarket near his apartment does not sell these items. He will take this opportunity to purchase all related supplies.
The children's clothing section is on the second floor of the department store. If Wu Shen came here to visit alone, he would definitely be considered some kind of lolicon by passersby and vendors.
But now that Mai is here, Wu Shen can openly set foot on this new unknown continent.
"Mai, don't run around, okay?" Wu Shen reminded Mai, holding her little hand.
On the one hand, he was afraid that Mai would get lost, and on the other hand, if Mai was too far away from him, the strange looks from passersby would be very painful.
Although Mai is only six years old, her skills in just dressing up are already complete, so Wu Shen doesn't need to worry too much about this aspect. So she let Mai choose what she likes. The only thing Wu Shen needs to check is that the price of the clothes should not be too expensive.
Wu Shen's shopping plan is to buy a slightly more expensive set for outdoor use and alternate it with the current set, which is also easy to clean. Then go to the affordable area and buy a few more high-quality, low-priced items to wear as casual clothes around the house.
"Father… brother, what do you think about this?" Mai jumped out of the changing room, pulling the skirt of her dress and spinning it in a small circle.
Different from the previous gothic-style outfit, the outfit Mai chose was a blue-colored fluffy dress. The light blue color serves as the background for the clothes, dotted with many gold or silver hollow star patterns.
Below, there are layers of lace embellished on the opaque white gauze skirt, like gentle waves passing by, and the skirt is outlined with a circle of exquisite dark blue patterns as embellishment.
Wu Shen saw that the price was within the acceptable range, and Mai had also liked this dress, so he immediately decided to buy it.
Wu Shen had already paid the money anyway and Mai was too lazy to wear her original clothes. Wu Shen simply helped her remove the tags from the clothes and let her wear the newly purchased clothes.
Mai who was wearing new clothes and was obviously in a good mood. She was humming a little song and jumping up and down. She twirled in front of Wu Shen every now and then, as if she was showing off her new clothes.
"Brother, do you think she's pretty?"
"Beautiful, very beautiful, the cutest in the world." As he walked along the road, Wu Shen repeated the same words over and over again.
He had to admit that the children's energy was very strong and they never felt bored no matter what.
"Well, your compliments are too superficial…" Mai heard Wu Shen's impatience and couldn't help but pout and start to act a little.
Wu Shen only responded with a wry smile. It turned out that Wu Shen put the old clothes into the new clothes box and carried them in a big paper bag.
Their next destination was to go to the accessible area on the same floor to buy some casual clothes for Mai to wear at home, as well as children's pantyhose and children's underwear for a change of clothes.
The process of buying pantyhose and panties is very embarrassing, as boys your age are the focus of attention when they arrive in this dangerous area. Fortunately, Wu Shen had Mai by his side and with the mentality of "the customer is God, I am not afraid of the shadow when I stand", he will finally complete the most difficult shopping task.
"Fortunately, there are no different sizes for children's underwear." Wu Shen picked up the pantyhose and underwear he just bought, but before they had time to put them into the shopping bag, Mai was one step behind him and was still looking around the store.
Just as Wu Shen was muttering and lowering his head to tidy up his clothes, a familiar voice, cold but a little surprised, suddenly came from in front of him.
"Eh!? Wu Shen!? Why are you in a place like this? And what are you holding in your hands!?"
