Chapter 355: Shop

"By the way, Ash, you two go pick out an outfit too! I'll pay the bill!" Ash said to Misty and May.

"No need, Ash, Auntie said she's responsible for it," Misty shook her head and said.

"That's right, big brother Ash, I don't need to buy any either, my pocket money still has a lot left!" May also waved her hand and said.

"It doesn't matter, Misty and May should both go buy a set, just consider it a gift from Auntie to you," Cynthia said with a smile.

"Alright then!" After hearing Cynthia's words, Ash had to agree.

"Then I won't be polite!" Misty said.

"Mm, it doesn't matter, it won't cost much money anyway. However, don't buy anything too expensive, so you don't end up with no money to pay back later," Cynthia instructed.

"You got it!" Misty laughed happily.

"May, let's go pick out clothes," Misty said.

"Mm-hmm! I'm going to buy clothes too!" May said happily.

Next, the three little girls ran toward the clothing area like wild horses off the leash.

Ash lay down on the sofa and fell into a comfortable afternoon nap.

Although he was very sleepy, Ash still forced himself to stay awake.

After all, he had been staying up late playing games last night, and he was forced by his old man to study English, so Ash was really tired.

Ash was sleeping very comfortably here, but Misty and May were very distressed.

"Sigh~ these clothes are all too expensive! I can't afford them at all~!" Misty said dejectedly.

"That's right! Big sister Misty, the clothes here are really too expensive, each piece costs two or three thousand yuan. I just started middle school, where would I have that much money?" May said.

"May, Misty, how about you look at this dress? I feel it suits you very well," Cynthia said with a smile.

"Wow~! So pretty, I want it!" May said in surprise.

"Then let's try it on!" Misty also said.

Next, Cynthia personally helped May and Misty try on the clothes once.

In the end, Ash and Misty also successively changed into the newly bought clothes, all designer brands.

"Mommy, let's go!" May said happily.

"Okay!" Cynthia said.

"Mm!" Ash nodded, then the four left the shopping plaza and came to another shop.

The shop Ash and the others bought from was a bit cheaper, and the styles were also simpler.

Ash and the others walked in, found a table and chairs to sit down, and then started picking out clothes.

……

Half an hour later, inside a coffee shop.

"Big brother Ash, let's have a cup of coffee to refresh ourselves!" May suggested.

"Okay, no problem!" Ash nodded and said.

……

Next, Ash and May were chatting, while Cynthia and Misty, the mother and daughter, were discussing Ash's affairs.

"By the way, Auntie, my dad said when is he coming to visit us!" May suddenly asked curiously.

"Oh, your dad, he still has to be busy for a while. When he's done, he'll come over. His company is very busy right now, I estimate he'll have to be busy for a while longer," Cynthia said.

"Oh, is that so!" May lowered her head dejectedly.

"May, don't be sad, we can go see him often," Cynthia said, stroking May's cheek.

"Mm!" May replied obediently.

Immediately, May raised her head and looked at her mom and Misty and said, "Mom, Misty, let's go play somewhere else."

"Okay!" Cynthia said gently.

"Then let's go eat ice cream, okay?" May said.

"Okay!" Misty and Cynthia readily agreed.

"Yay~ let's go!" May happily skipped and ran outside.

"May, slow down, watch your step," Cynthia called out.

"Mom, don't worry, I can take care of myself, let's go!" May said happily.

"May, Ash, you two wait a moment, I'm going to pay the bill," Cynthia's hurried voice came.

……

"Mom, it's okay, you just go pay, don't worry about us," Ash said, pulling Cynthia.

"That's right, Auntie, May knows what to do, we've also grown up, we're not children anymore," Misty chimed in.

"Uh! Then you two be careful, don't get lost, otherwise I'll worry about your safety," Cynthia thought for a moment and said.

"Mm-hmm, goodbye Auntie!" May and Misty waved their hands, watching Cynthia walk away.

"Big brother Ash, why do you think Auntie cares about us so much?" May asked curiously.

"Hehe, because she treats you like her own children," Ash explained.

"Oh! So that's how it is," May said with a sudden realization.

"That's right, May, do you remember Xiao Ming and Xiao Li from our class?" Ash suddenly said.

"Mm! I remember, big sister Xiao Li and big brother Xiao Ming are quite nice to me," May recalled and said.

"That's right, they are both good kids, especially Xiao Li, she's a kind child, so I decided to take you to see Xiao Li and big brother Xiao Ming, and visit their parents while we're at it," Ash said.

"Big brother Ash, big brother Ash. You wait for me!" Hearing that Ash was going to take her and Misty to see Xiao Ming and big sister Xiao Li, May immediately chased after Ash's pace.

"Hehe, Xiao Qing, I'll take May and the others to find Misty and Xiao Ming first, we'll come over to pick you up later," Ash turned his head and said.

"Fine, you go ahead. I'll go shopping with Xiao Qing, and after you come back, we'll go find you," Xiao Qing said.

"Mm, be careful on the road!" Ash instructed.

Then, Ash held the hands of the two little girls, May and Misty, and headed toward the town where Misty and Xiao Ming lived.

……

Arriving at Misty's house, Ash rang the doorbell.

Not long after, the door opened.

"Misty, who is it?" Misty's mother, who opened the door, asked.

"Misty's mother, it's us, I'm big brother Ash," Ash said.

"So it's Ash! Please come in!" Misty's mother enthusiastically welcomed Ash and May inside.

"Uncle, Auntie, hello!" May said sweetly.

"Oh my! Our May is so pretty today," Ash praised.

"Hehe~~" May smiled shyly.

"Haha, Ash, May is getting prettier and prettier," Ash's mother laughed.

"Auntie, you're also very pretty!" May said with a giggle.

"May, why are you guys here, sit down quickly!" Misty's mother greeted.

"Misty's mother, we came to find Misty and Xiao Ming," Ash said.

"Xiao Ming? Big brother Ash, do you know big brother Xiao Ming?" May asked curiously.

"Xiao Ming and Ash are classmates," Cynthia said.

"Yes, little sister May, we are classmates, and big brother Ash is also my good friend," Xiao Ming said, coming out of the room at this time.

"Wow~~~ big brother Ash is also my good friend!" May shouted excitedly.

"Mm, that's right," Ash smiled.
