Chapter 273 Buying Gifts
After finishing my meal and taking a short break, I couldn't wait to plunge into the shopping frenzy again. After going up and down the escalators, I finally arrived at the dazzling children's products floor.
As soon as I stepped onto this floor, my eyes were drawn to the dazzling array of colorful merchandise. The shelves were filled with all sorts of novel and interesting toys, school supplies, and daily necessities, like a dreamlike treasure trove waiting for me to explore.
The first thing that caught my eye was a box of coloring pencils with 108 colors, their vibrant tips as dazzling as a rainbow. Thinking of the delighted Yuyun as she unleashed her creativity on paper, I added it to the shopping cart without hesitation. Then, a detailed and realistic mecha model caught my eye. Its cool design and intricate structure made it impossible to put it down. Lele has always been fascinated by mechas, and I'm sure this gift will be a great surprise for him. Then, a thick medical encyclopedia caught my eye. For the intelligent and studious Carl, this book is undoubtedly a treasure trove of knowledge, satisfying his curiosity and thirst for knowledge about the world of medicine.
As each desired item was added to the shopping cart, my mood grew happier. At the same time, the constant stream of deduction notifications from my laptop made my heart flutter. Each notification sounded like a coin dropping into a piggy bank. Seeing the star coins in my account rapidly dwindle, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. However, this pain was quickly overshadowed by joy, because I knew these gifts would bring endless joy and warmth to the children.
Now that I've chosen gifts for the children, how could I forget my hardworking colleagues at the nursery? So, I continued browsing the shelves, carefully selecting gifts for them. A beautiful dress for the gentle and beautiful Lotta, who will surely look like a fairy descending from the heavens; a stylish bag for Lei, perfect for her elegant demeanor; and a beautiful watch for the sunny and handsome Shaoyu, hoping it will accompany him every moment. And Aunt Ola, considering her aging and her nutritional needs, I've specially selected some high-quality nutritional supplements for her. And the security guard, Adam, couldn't be ignored. A few days ago, I happened to learn that he's a retired soldier with underlying health issues from a previous injury, so I bought him a practical set of knee pads, wrist guards, and eye protection, hoping to alleviate his pain.
Before I knew it, my shopping cart was nearly overflowing, piled high with gifts. Looking at this cart full of thoughtful gifts, even though my Star Coins were nearly depleted, I felt a surge of accomplishment and satisfaction. After all, everyone received a unique gift, a feeling of genuine care and love. Furthermore, this massive spending spree has reassured me to work even harder on filming amazing videos, earning more Star Coins to fill the financial gap left by this shopping spree.
Just now, after some inquiries, I learned that the mall actually offers direct express delivery, and you only have to pay 50% of the delivery fee! What a pleasant surprise! So, after successfully sending all the gifts for the children at the kindergarten, I wandered over to the daily necessities section. However, something strange happened—every time I reached for an item, the eerie images of the mysterious creatures flashed through my mind. These images, like haunting ghosts, instantly made me feel heavy.
I sighed helplessly, thinking to myself, "Alas! What a wonderful shopping trip has been ruined!" Despite this, I still tried to cheer myself up and told myself not to give up halfway. After all, there were still so many people's gifts waiting for me to choose. In the end, with tenacious perseverance and determination, I finally completed the gift selection for the other children in the nursery. However, Lillian, Wei'er, and Sister Pearl still hadn't chosen their gifts. Although I felt a little worried, I changed my mind and thought that no matter what, I had to pass on the joy I could bring to everyone! So, I took a deep breath and continued to devote myself to this unfinished shopping trip...
I'd been pacing the bustling streets for a long time, my steps heavy. However, no matter how hard I racked my brain, I couldn't find a gift idea that satisfied me. An indescribable feeling of frustration gradually settled over me, like a thick, dark cloud looming over my head.
Just then, my eyes stumbled across a corner of the street, and a custom-made shop, adorned with chic, artistic decor, suddenly caught my eye. Like a dazzling pearl hidden in the bustling city, it exuded a unique and captivating charm. Filled with curiosity and anticipation, I involuntarily stepped into the shop.
Upon entering the shop, a dazzling display of handmade goods unfolds like a vibrant, colorful painting. Each piece is unique, imbued with the heart and soul of the artisan. As I scrutinize these exquisite creations, I'm filled with awe.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning—perhaps I could create a special bracelet for Lillian right here! The thought filled me with excitement. Lillian has always had a soft spot for delicate, small things, and a bracelet engraved with her initials would surely delight her. So, I quickly described my ideal bracelet design to the shop owner and selected a few sparkling gemstones to embellish it.
Then, my eye was drawn to a delicately fragrant scented candle in the corner. The soft candlelight and the delicate aroma that permeated the air instantly brought back memories of Wei'er. Wei'er had always been quiet and gentle, and this scented candle with a unique aroma seemed tailor-made for her. I imagined that when she lit this candle, the warm atmosphere would surely envelop her, bringing her endless peace and comfort.
Finally, it was time to choose a gift for Sister Pei'er. After careful consideration, I decided to create a crystal ornament for her. This crystal ornament is not only beautiful, but more importantly, it symbolizes the deep and sincere friendship between us. I'm sure Sister Pei'er will feel my sincere love when she receives this gift.
When I finally mustered the courage to share my slightly apprehensive thoughts with the ever-smiling and friendly clerk, it felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from my heart. As the notification sounded, announcing the deposit payment was complete, my heart felt like a breeze, light and refreshed.
Slowly stepping out of the mall's spacious, bright entrance, I was greeted by a warm, gentle sunlight. Like a pair of gentle hands, it caressed my body, dispelling the gloom brought on by the strange images that had been constantly surfacing in my mind. Bathed in this golden glow, I felt a sense of relief, my steps unconsciously becoming lighter.
