Chapter 927: Chapter 915: The Little Ones Are Swapping Places Again
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Zhan Nanjing, Qiao Jing took Zhan Qiaomo to the cash register to pay.
Seeing the little guy really liked his new clothes, Qiao Jing didn’t make him change out of them. After paying, he just left wearing them.
Watching Qiao Jing leave the children’s clothing store, hand in hand with Zhan Qiaomo, chatting and laughing, and continuing to other places, Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaoze were full of envy and jealousy!
The two little guys looked at their brother’s new clothes, then simultaneously at the children’s clothing store.
Noticing that the store had similar clothes to the ones their brother was wearing, Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaoze almost dashed out simultaneously.
As they reached the store entrance, the two little guys realized they had the same intention and began to pull at each other.
It was obvious that both brothers wanted to get the same outfit and pull a playful trick by secretly swapping Zhan Qiaomo’s clothes.
After a brief standoff, Zhan Qiaoyu spoke, “If we keep this up, Aunt Jing and Mo Bao will go back, and then no one will have a chance.”
Zhan Qiaoze felt this made sense, blinked, and said, “Then what should we do?”
“The usual rule, rock-paper-scissors to decide!”
After saying this, Zhan Qiaoyu first let go of Zhan Qiaoze’s hand.
Zhan Qiaoze also released his grip, while his mind started working creatively.
He didn’t really like using rock-paper-scissors, as he always lost, but since there was no better solution for now, he had to take a chance!
Winning would obviously be best, but if he lost, he’d just think of another idea…
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
The two little guys said in unison.
As soon as the words were spoken, a delighted smile appeared on Zhan Qiaoyu’s face.
He raised his small hand, patted his brother on the shoulder, “Sorry, Zebao, my rock beat your scissors!”
Zhan Qiaoze wore a sullen little face and said pitifully, “But you’ve both gone with Mo Bao, and I haven’t yet…”
Every time he played rock-paper-scissors, he lost; he really wasn’t cut out for it!!
“A bet’s a bet, so I’ll go try the clothes first!”
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Qiaoyu darted towards Zhan Nanjing.
If it were anything else, as an elder brother, he would let his two younger brothers have their way, but not this time.
Because he just wanted to be with Aunt Jing!
Upon reaching Zhan Nanjing, Zhan Qiaoyu grabbed her hand, pointing eagerly at a set of clothes on the rack, “Aunt, Aunt, I want that set of clothes!”
Zhan Nanjing looked in the direction Zhan Qiaoyu pointed and found it was the same style the child beside Third Miss Qiao had worn earlier.
She went over, took the clothes off the rack, held them up to Zhan Qiaoyu, and casually asked, “You like this style too?”
Zhan Qiaoyu nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, I love this set!”
“Aunt, I’ll go try it on first!”
Saying this, Zhan Qiaoyu took the set of clothes from Zhan Nanjing and ran into the fitting room on his short little legs.
Seeing this, the nearby Zhan Qiaoze had a sudden idea. He ran over immediately, grabbed Zhan Nanjing’s hand, and said, “Aunt, Aunt, I want a set too!”
Zhan Nanjing didn’t think much of it and took another set off the rack.
Zhan Qiaoze blinked his large, sparkling eyes and said cutely, “Aunt, can you help me cut off the tag, I want to wear it right away.”
As an attentive aunt, Zhan Nanjing adored the three little guys and always granted their wishes.
Hearing Zhan Qiaoze’s request, she turned and paid for the two sets of clothes, then asked the store staff to cut off the tags.
After the tags were cut, Zhan Nanjing handed the clothes to Zhan Qiaoze.
Taking the clothes, Zhan Qiaoze ran outside, saying, “Aunt, I’m in a bit of a hurry, just heading to the restroom, back soon!”
Watching Zhan Qiaoze rush out, Zhan Nanjing found it curious.
Was it really that urgent?
This quirky Zebao, what was he up to now?
Zhan Qiaoze really did go to the restroom after leaving the store.
In the restroom, he changed into his new clothes and then sent a message to his younger brother Zhan Qiaomo with his smartwatch, arranging to meet there.
After sending the message, Zhan Qiaoze didn’t stay but left the restroom.
A moment later, Zhan Qiaomo received the message and came to the restroom.
However, he waited in the restroom for quite some time but didn’t see Zhan Qiaoze.
“How strange, what’s Second Brother up to? He said there’s something important to discuss in person, but it’s been so long, and he’s still not here…”
Zhan Qiaomo muttered in confusion before taking out his smartwatch to ask Zhan Qiaoze why he hadn’t arrived yet.
But after the message was sent, there was no reply.
The more Zhan Qiaomo thought about it, the stranger it seemed, so he left the restroom intending to see what was going on.
As soon as he stepped out, he noticed Aunt Jing, who was supposed to be waiting for him nearby, was walking away with another child.
That child was wearing the exact same clothes as him!
Seeing this scene, Zhan Qiaomo realized he had fallen into a trap.
He stomped his foot in annoyance and immediately ran off to give chase.
Meanwhile, Zhan Qiaoyu, who had finished changing, found that Zhan Qiaoze had disappeared, and immediately guessed his brother’s “mischievous trick.”
He ran out of the children’s clothing store angrily, and at the corner, bumped right into Zhan Qiaomo.
Fortunately, both little guys reacted quickly, grabbing each other to keep steady, avoiding a fall.
Zhan Qiaoyu, still angry, didn’t look closely and grumpily said, “You lost the rock-paper-scissors fair and square, so this time it should be my turn. Wait for the next turn if you want to go; no cheating!”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qiaomo knew his elder brother had mistaken him for someone else.
He cupped his little face with both hands, brought it close to Zhan Qiaoyu, “Brother, look closely, it’s me, Mo Bao!”
Zhan Qiaoyu squinted and realized the one in front of him wasn’t his second brother Zebao, but his third brother Mo Bao.
He slapped his forehead, annoyed, “Looks like we’ve both been tricked by Zebao!”
Zhan Qiaomo grumbled in frustration, “Who’d have thought Second Brother would be so cunning, pulling this double trick on us!”
If he’d known, he wouldn’t have come to the mall at all!
He’d rather not have new clothes than be separated from Aunt Jing!!
By this time, Qiao Jing had already taken Zhan Qiaoze out of the mall.
Walking on the street outside the mall, with his little hand in Qiao Jing’s, Zhan Qiaoze was especially happy, merrily humming a tune.
“Today’s weather is so sunny, beautiful scenery everywhere, beautiful scenery…”
Seeing the little guy so suddenly high-spirited, Qiao Jing was a bit curious, “Can you tell Aunt Jing why you’re so happy?”
