Chapitre 56: The fat owl

"I think the flowers are enough." 

"I want the owl plushie."

They both said their answers at the same time and then looked at each other. 

"Hubby Zhang, just one plushie." Alix raised her index finger and slowly moved it around. 

Caishen sighed and shook his head. 

"So troublesome." he said softly. 

He looked at the hopeful young woman and nodded. 

The medium sized grey and white owl plushie was stuffed in Caishen's arms. 

He looked at the fat soft cotton thing whose large round eyes were glittering because it had sparkles in it's eyes and he frowned. 

"Why am I carrying this?"

Alix looked at the flower basket which she was carrying with two hands and she looked at him. 

What am I supposed to do? she asked with her eyes. 

He looked at her left hand and wondered if the flower basket was not too heavy for her.
