Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 5: Sweet

The flavor of the milk candy suddenly exploded in his mouth—an indescribable taste, so much better than the candy wrapper he licked!

He didn't even dare to lick it much harder for fear that the flavor would disappear too quickly, so he ate it carefully.

Chu Xia didn't mind not getting a response from Cen Huai'an and led him to the location of a stall, not far from the department store.

There was a person selling clothes there, and the styles were very innovative.

Chu Xia was picking out clothes when she heard a voice from beside her: "Sweet."

The voice was not loud, but still childish and a bit hoarse.

Chu Xia looked at Cen Huai'an in surprise, thought for a moment, and understood that he was answering her earlier question. She couldn't help but find it a bit amusing; was his reaction a bit too delayed?

However, Chu Xia didn't say much and gestured to him with the clothes she had picked. "Do you like this one?"

Cen Huai'an nodded, "Hmm", not much of an emotional response.

Chu Xia didn't ask him anymore and made her own decision.

Cen Huai'an, still careful, had finished the candy in his mouth and savored the taste of milk candy, thinking it was the most delicious thing he'd ever eaten.

His eyes glanced at the cloth bag on Chu Xia's body, where she kept the candy, and he licked his lips. He wanted to eat another piece.

However, he only looked at it briefly and continued to focus on the shoes in his arms, not even reacting when Chu Xia showed him the clothes.

Chu Xia found that the clothes at this stall were of good quality, not like the random roadside stalls.

The vendor was a young man wearing a straw hat, squatting in the shade of a tree. He hung the clothes neatly on hangers, and there was also a pile on the ground. His service attitude was much better than the salespeople at the department store.

Chu Xia noticed that the vendor kept smiling, displaying a set of shining white teeth. No matter how people inquired, tried on clothes, or haggled, his smile never wavered. He spoke kind words, praised the clothes, and made the customers happy. Several pieces of clothing were sold in an instant.

He noticed that Chu Xia had picked out several pieces of clothing and came over and asked, "Sister, are there any clothes that you like? Don't worry about my clothes. They are all carefully selected by me in Yangcheng. There is not a single one that is bad."

Indeed, when Chu Xia buys clothes, the first thing she looks at is the style, and the second thing she looks at is the quality. She touched several pieces of clothing, and the texture of each piece of fabric was not bad.

So she quickly picked two for Cen Huai'an and herself.

She picked herself a white long V-neck dress that had a unique design with an overlapping V-neck collar, creating a slight pleat. The hem of the dress was also pleated, and it fluttered gently in the breeze, giving it a casual yet elegant look that would never go out of style. Chu Xia fell in love with it at first sight.

The other set is a loose-fitting sky blue and white vertical striped shirt and a pair of jeans. Of course, the ones she bought are not bell-bottoms, but a classic style.

For Cen Huai'an, she bought a simple navy and white striped T-shirt with a sailor collar, a round Chinese red collar T-shirt, and two different colored knee-length shorts.

Chu Xia negotiated with the vendor, and with her numerous purchases and bargaining skills she learned from her previous life, she managed to buy all the clothes for a total of just over thirty yuan.
