Chapter 108 (2/2)
“Catch it!”
“Ai, wait, wait!”
Xue Qilin was too late.
Making a beautiful arc while pa.s.sing above the heads of several pa.s.sers-by, the durian flew towards her. At a loss for what to do, Xue Qilin subconsciously extended her hands.
“Ai ai ai! It hurts!”
The spikes on the durian hurt Xue Qilin, causing her to subconsciously pull her hands away and make cries of pain.
Shui Yuner ingeniously grasped the tip of the fruit right before it reached the ground.
“It's quite heavy, it's not surprising that you're not able to take it, Young Teacher.”
Shui Yuner pursed her lips and made fun of Xue Qilin, and then put the durian into a large embroidered bag hanging from her shoulder.
This bag is made of linen, it was specially made for Xue Qilin by a tailor to make shopping convenient. It is modeled after the modern environmentally friendly shopping bag. Compared with the containers such as boxes and baskets used to carry things in this era, it is much lighter.
Therefore, as soon as this bag appeared, Qi Qiqi whose eyes sparkled brightly requested Internal Affairs Department to ask the tailors to ma.s.s-produce it. It eventually became a standard item given to inner temple disciples.
“Young Teacher, where are we going next?”
Xue Qilin snapped her fingers.
“To buy cosmetics for Little Seven!”
Xue Qilin paused and turned to Shui Yuner.
“Little Yun, do you know where they sell stuff like that?”
Shui Yuner tilted her head in thought, and then pointed ahead of them and said: “There is a nice shop ahead. Although the shop isn't big, but the goods they sell are refined, and they aren't expensive. I recommend it.”
“That so, then let's go!”
Xue Qilin took the lead and started walking, and Shui Yuner walked alongside her.
The two look like twins.
Shui Yuner is half a head taller than Xue Qilin. But Xue Qilin's shoes have heels, making her a lot taller. Shui Yuner wears flat bottom embroidered shoes. As a result, the height gap has narrowed a lot.
Not long after, Xue Qilin walked into the cosmetics shop recommended by Shui Yuner.
As Shui Yuner said, the shop isn't big. At first glance, it's not even as big as Xue Qilin's room in Snow-facing Abode. But its decoration is rather unique.
The faint fragrance of cosmetics entered the nose. The smell isn't as intense as expected.
Prior to this, Xue Qilin thought that cosmetics shops here are like modern cosmetics stores, that is, places filled with a mix of strong fragrances. Now it seems that she was wrong.
The la.s.s focused on a shelf, and finally saw a box of pale pink rouge paste with jasmine scent.
“Little Yun, what do you think of this?”
Shui Yuner touched the rouge with a finger and smeared it on the back of her hand.
The pale skin is now dyed with a touch of pink, looking like a sakura blossom has fallen down on white jade.
“I think it's pretty good. The color is light and looks natural, and it smells good.”
“Okay, then it's this one – shopkeep, I'd like to pay!”
Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose, called the shopkeep, and paid.
“Little Yun, you also choose one! It's my treat!”
Feeling a bit sorry for dragging Shui Yuner to do shopping with her, Xue Qilin suddenly felt that buying something for only Qi Qiqi is inappropriate.
Most of the girls who are close to her don't usually use makeup. After all, makeup is only a means to make you look more beautiful. But they are naturally beautiful themselves.
However, as an essential product for women, they still have some rouge paste prepared in case of emergency
Having said that, it seems that only Xue Qilin doesn't have such things.
“No need, I haven't run out yet. Thank you, Young Teacher.”
Shui Yuner shook her head gently and tactfully declined Xue Qilin's kindness with a smile on her face.
“I see…”
Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose. As the shopkeep sent them off with “thank you for your patronage”, they left the cosmetics shop.
