Chapter 228 (2/2)
Hao Ren also planned to buy Y’zaks a pair of trousers, but now look at this situation, he could only give up. If they could not get a shirt that suit him, let alone a pair of trousers. It was still acceptable if the shirt was slightly tight, but not the pants. There was a sentence that could apply on Y’zaks waist: If his trousers were thrown on the floor and no one was wearing it, you did not even know what that was…
They left the shop in disappointment. When they left, Lily declared one thing very seriously with the sales assistant, “Your window is too small–my curtain is just fit to put around Y’zaks.”
Vivian hurriedly dragged Lily out and said, “Why take it so seriously.”
“Forget it, I better order two sets of customized clothes for you,” Hao Ren look at Y’zaks regrettably, “You can wear this bulletproof combat outfit when ‘working’, but on earth, it’s best to wear something that is not eye-catching. And then now we’ll go and buy Vivian’s stuff?”
Lily had little interest to follow them. In fact, she had been trying to run around since the beginning–as the breed of dog that was nicknamed ‘The-dog-that-will-not-listen-to-you’, you could not expect her to go shopping and follow the team obediently. So now she began to get impatient and said, “It’s so boring! I’m going to see the bags upstairs…”
“Bag? For travel or adventure?” asked Becky.
Lily quickly instill the wrong knowledge into Becky and said, “You’ll know when you see it. It’s not a travel bag. It’s simply for carrying with one hand.”
Hao Ren looked at this situation and knew that he could not stop them. He waved and said, “Okay okay, you can go, but don’t run around, we’ll meet at the exit at noon.”
He then looked at the big demon and said, “Y’zaks, help me to keep an eye on two of them–especially Becky. I remember there is a decorative mechanical dinosaur upstairs. Becky can easily rub a fireball to hit the dinosaur.”
So they split up. Finally, there was just Vivian alone with Hao Ren. She had been curious since they left the house and asked, “What are you going to buy me?”
Hao Ren pointed to Vivian body and said, “Let’s not talk about anything else. First I’ll get you some new clothes, and then give you a cell phone.”
Vivian was now wearing an old-fashioned winter coat. In fact, most of her clothes were old-fashioned, and some were even worn out. Although the vampire lady’s beautiful face could make up for the flaws in her clothes, Hao Ren did not think so. He felt that Vivian should dress more beautifully, more like a legendary, noble-looking vampire aristocrat. He did not know when this idea came up, but he was going to do it today anyway. As for the cell phone, it was a temporary decision when they left the house, everyone in the house had a mobile phone, even Y’zaks also got one for himself, except for Vivian. This was not a big deal for an ‘unusual creature’, but Hao Ren still decided to give Vivian a gift.
Let’s put aside the practicality of a cell phone (for this gang of Supermen, a cell phone’s function was actually limited). Hao Ren just hoped that Vivian, who was still living the most simple and shabby life, could live as good as others in the house. He always felt very uncomfortable to see some of the details in Vivian’s life, and now he was almost unable to stand it.
When the vampire lady heard Hao Ren’s plan, she looked really surprised. But after that, she looked reserved and not sure how to respond, “I… I’m fine now. I’m quite satisfied to live in your place…”
“Don’t mention it,” Hao Ren smiled and said, “Just take it as a present. You don’t have a cell phone yet, do you? At least when we’re on Earth, it’s convenient to have this kind of thing to contact each other.”
“I… used to have one before,” Vivian smiled awkwardly, “I was very fortunate to save a little money and then I was curious and bought a cheap one. But then I couldn’t pay the bill, it was turned off for a very long time. Now it’s still in my suitcase and probably won’t be able to turn on again.”
Vivian was not sure how to react to this unexpected pleasure, but she did not refuse Hao Ren’s kindness at last. She followed him with anticipation and a vague excitement.
As they walked through the shops, there was a woman at the back of the counter who raised her head and glanced at them thoughtfully. This was a woman with a cold and detached look, with a scar near her nose.
Supposedly, a shopping mall like this would have a certain demand for the sales person’s appearance. At least a person with a scar on her face would find it difficult to get a job here, especially when she had a cold and detached expression on her face. However, this woman was sitting behind the counter. Whether it was her smiling colleagues or the fussy guests around her, they all seemed to have turned a blind eye to her.
The eye’s of the woman with a scar on her face followed Hao Ren and Vivian for a while until they disappeared in a shop. She then sat down with a blank expression and continued to sit there in a daze as if she was transparent.
