"Goodbye, big brother."
The child said goodbye to Xiao Xiao.
His head was tilted back.
He was still holding the water bag in his hands.
He didn't seem to mind the effort, holding it like that the whole time.
Children's affection was just that direct.
"Goodbye."
Seeing how much the child liked the little fish he'd caught, Xiao Xiao's eyes curved with a smile.
It was the best possible reward for lending a hand.
The old woman and the little boy left.
Every so often, the old woman glanced down at the child beside her.
Her eyes and brows were smiling.
The child held the water bag slightly aloft.
Two little fish swam leisurely inside.
The child was surrounded by an air of happiness.
Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze.
He looked at the basin.
The stall owner immediately grew wary. "You want to play some more?"
He'd completely forgotten how he'd previously tried his hardest to persuade the young man to play a few more times...
Honestly, with a young man this skilled playing this little game...
How was that any different from wrecking his business?
He'd definitely lose a lot.
Even if the young man claimed it was just luck...
Who knew?
He didn't want to take the risk.
He wasn't doing business with this young man anymore.
Xiao Xiao chuckled.
"Boss, your goldfish are all very pretty."
"Of course."
The stall owner puffed out his chest.
"These goldfish weren't just bought in bulk at random."
"I picked every single one of them out myself."
"They're all top quality..."
The stall owner gave a thumbs-up.
Wait.
The owner's smug expression froze.
Like a hen guarding her food, he reached out to shield his basin.
Of course,
he couldn't actually block it.
But
