A Snow White doll wasn't expensive. The elderly man was just about to swipe his gold card in his wallet when he seemed to remember something. He glanced around the toy shop once again and finally chose another Snow White doll. Compared to the one that Su Nian had chosen, this one was pink, conveying a girlish, dreamlike feeling.
In fluent Mandarin, he told the clerk, "Wrap up this Snow White for me too."
Su Nian raised her eyebrows, wondering why he was buying two?
The clerk skillfully completed the task and billed the elderly man. Before she could even react, the man had pushed the newly chosen Snow White into her arms. He also held one in his own arms, the man was so pleased that the folds of his cheeks were visible from smiling, "Miss, could I perhaps treat you to something for being my gift choosing assistant today?"
"You don't have to be so polite. Helping you pick out a gift was a pleasant way to kill time." Su Nian said directly, her hands stuffed into her pockets.
