Just now, Mizuo's series of actions, including the ones that went unnoticed by Chongzong, such as observing the outside through the peephole in the door, were all instructed by Chongzong. The most important thing for a child to live alone is safety. And Mizuo not only achieved that, but also kept the house tidy and clean. Every time they entered the house, Chongzong couldn't help but marvel at how a primary school student could live to such an extent, which truly made many adults feel ashamed.

"Let me check to see what we need to buy from the supermarket later," Chongzong said as he took off his shoes and walked into the house. It was a customary practice to check what supplies Mizuo needed.

"No need, Chongzong gege," Mizuo replied. As soon as Mizuo heard Chongzong's words, without wasting any time, he temporarily left Yuki and rushed over, eagerly handing a piece of paper to Chongzong. It seemed that Mizuo had prepared it in advance.

"Look, look! I've listed everything we need to buy!" Mizuo's eyes were practically shining as he eagerly looked at Chongzong.

"Huh? Is this for real?" Chongzong took the paper with a mix of belief and doubt. It really was well-written.

- Two boxes of tissue paper;

- One bag of toilet paper;

- Various types of garbage bags, one pack each;

- One box of toothpaste;

- One bag of laundry detergent, refill pack;

...

As Chongzong looked at it, he was just about to praise Mizuo, but then he saw...

- Three boxes of chocolate bars;

- Two bags of roast meat flavored potato chips;

- Two boxes of orange juice;

"Emmmmmmmmmmmmm, Mizuo," Chongzong paused. "You shouldn't eat too many snacks."

"Hahahaha, it's just a little bit," Mizuo replied.

"All these snacks are important supplies to reward myself after cleaning the house," Mizuo explained. "Without snacks, I wouldn't have the motivation to clean the house and cheer myself up, Chongzong gege!"

Anticipating Chongzong's criticism, Mizuo quickly came up with a string of reasons. Surprisingly, Mizuo's argument had some merit, leaving Chongzong speechless.

"Fine, let's buy them then."

"Hahahaha, thank you, Chongzong gege!" Mizuo happily laughed and gave Chongzong a big hug.

"Well, let's go, Yuki, Mizuo."

"Yes, yes."

"Yay~!"

The three of them grabbed their shopping bags, locked the door, and happily set off. What they didn't know was that as they left the residential building, a pair of eyes watching them also began to act.

On the way to the supermarket, Yuki and Mizuo hopped and skipped like two little rabbits. The more Chongzong watched their joyful appearance, the more determined he became to overthrow Bai Yaxin's plan.

Without removing Bai Yaxin, it's impossible to guarantee a carefree life for these two children.

We can't let them live under the shadow of Bai Yaxin.

As Chongzong pondered over these thoughts, he unconsciously found himself at the supermarket.

"Chongzong ge, there was a super beautiful big sister just now!"

"...Huh?"

Looking at Mizuo's eyes sparkling with stars, Chongzong was a bit lost at this sudden topic.

"Just now, at the entrance of the supermarket, I saw a super beautiful big sister with shiny black hair and fair skin, walking past!"

"Uh, so what? I didn't pay attention."

"Hahaha, it's such a pity that you didn't see such a beautiful big sister."

Mizuo chuckled mischievously, not knowing what she was so happily talking about.

"Let's go, Yuki. Let's go buy snacks! Chongzong ge, remember to push a shopping cart."

--- I really don't understand what kids these days are thinking.

Chongzong scratched his head, grabbed a shopping cart, and followed behind the two little girls.

However, when it came to someone with shiny black hair and who was beautiful, Chongzong unexpectedly thought of someone he knew.

--- It can't be that coincidental, hahaha.
