At this moment, Ye Li and Skye stopped in their tracks.
Tap tap tap...
A black kid with an afro came running over, staring hopefully at the shop window.
Behind him followed a black man who looked like his father.
Seeing his son seemingly wanting something, the black man asked, "Ace, which one do you want?"
"I don't want it."
Ace was quite sensible—he knew that his dad had just lost his job.
…..
"Hehe, even Tony is on clearance sale now…"
Ye Li didn't pay much attention to the black father and son. He tapped the glass playfully—behind it was an Iron Man figurine.
"Hey!"
The shopkeeper's snobbish voice suddenly came over—
"If you're not buying, don't stand there blocking others!"
Hearing this, Skye frowned slightly.
Even though Ye Li's clothes were unbranded (Fate Spider Silk Suit), the ones she wore were all from famous brands.
Did they really look like they couldn't afford anything?
This shopkeeper really lacked judgment...
"These—"
She exuded a superior aura, turned to the shopkeeper, and pointed at the display window, saying, "I'll take them all!"
"What?"
The shopkeeper poked his head out of the store, stunned. "You want all of them?"
"That's right."
The girl extended her slender index finger straight, confidently raising her chin.
"My boyfriend loves figurines. Pack all of these up for me—I'm giving them to him as a gift!"
Ye Li: ???
'Why do I feel like I just became a kept man…'
He leaned closer to Skye and whispered, "When did I ever say I liked these figurines?"
If it were Black Widow's, I might consider keeping one...
But Tony, Thor, and the others? Forget it...
Skye whispered back, "Li, didn't you hear how she was looking down on us?"
"Uh..."
Ye Li glanced at the black father and son—
"Hmm?"
Skye caught his meaning, looked over, and saw that their clothes were old and worn—they were clearly not well-off.
So, she had misunderstood... The shopkeeper was probably yelling at them earlier... She hadn't noticed since her back was turned...
"It's all packed, all packed!"
At that moment, the delighted shopkeeper auntie pushed out a small cart.
Inside was a full set of Avengers male hero figurines...
"Hello, dear customer. The total is... with a discount for the promotional period..."
Skye: "..."
Luckily, she wasn't short on money.
After swiftly paying—
The girl stuffed several boxes into her boyfriend's arms, grinning cheekily. "Here~ Consider it my gift to you, even though you probably don't like them much, hehe."
Ye Li: "..."
How was he supposed to deal with this?
Throwing them straight into the trash bin next to them didn't seem right either...
As he was thinking—
He saw little Ace staring at the superhero figurines in his arms, practically drooling...
Hmm... He probably wasn't planning on shoplifting...
"You want one?"
Ye Li smiled warmly at Ace. "You can pick one~"
Ace was stunned. Was it really this good?
Even Skye was a bit surprised and secretly admired him. 'I heard that people from China don't usually like black people, but Li is really kind and compassionate~'
Little did she know... Ye Li wasn't being kind—he was just playing around...
"Ace."
Mike Peterson, Ace's father, pulled his son. "You can't just take other people's things."
"It's fine, it's not for free."
Ye Li, unable to hide his mischievous streak, coaxed Ace. "How about this—you learn to sing a Chinese song from my phone, and I'll let you pick one?"
Ace asked curiously, "What song?"
"It's a very inspiring song—it's called Sunshine Rainbow Little White pony..."
...A few seconds later—
"Sunshine rainbow little white horse di di da di di da…"
"…You are neinei ge neinei neinei ge ge ge!!"
"Nei ge nei ge ge!! Ni ge ni ge ni ge ni ge ni ge!!"
Mike Peterson and Ace had looks of utter disbelief and horror!!
Skye, the toy store auntie, and even passersby all had looks of shock on their faces!
How could there be such an insanely awesome song?
