Rebirth: How A Loser Became A Prince Charming - Chapter 575

Chapter 575: The Iron Frog

It was a traditional British toyshop . If Qin Guan was not mistaken, the owner sold both staple goods and handmade products .

Under the tall green counter was a big red fire truck with a line of bold yellow letters that spelled out "made in China" .

It felt like it was mocking the British toy industry . Thanks to the low prices of Chinese products, 60% of toys in Britain were produced in Chinese factories .

The fire truck was filled to the brim with passengers . There were teddy bears of different shapes and sizes in it . One of them was wearing a traditional red military uniform, a second one was wearing a black policeman uniform, a third one was wearing a deerstalker and a pipe like Sherlock Holmes, and the fourth and last one was wearing a pink crepe dress .

Smiling, Qin Guan picked up a serious-looking bear in a Chinese Cheongsam from the last row . She looked calm, proud and cute . Qin Guan's heart suddenly softened .

The old man behind the counter stopped working and set the tin soldier down on the counter .

"You might find something you like on the shelf behind you . You don't need to just buy a present for your girlfriend . Men sometimes need to buy something for themselves too!"

He pointed to the shelf behind Qin Guan, which was candy-colored .

"Okay, thanks . Could you wrap this one for me first?" Qin Guan handed the bear to him with a smile .

A pair of female hands appeared from behind the counter and took the bear .

There's another person in the shop?

Qin Guan craned his neck to see a gentle old lady with grey hair sitting behind the counter . There was a pile of colorful straps, cotton padding and sparkling accessories in front of her . A half-made doll was on her knees .

This shop was a traditional family business, probably as old as the elderly couple .

Qin Guan felt happy . Mutual help and relief did wonders in times of poverty .

The shelf was filled with popular boys' toys . There were iron trains, soldiers carrying guns and mighty tanks . The whole collection looked like a primitive memory of Qin Guan's childhood . Although those toys were finer than his, their sense of history was irreplaceable .

"Wow! Iron toys!" Qin Guan found the treasure in a corner .

"An iron frog!" A friend from his neighborhood had once given him a frog as a gift . The toy had been able to leap after being winded up .

"A tangram! In Britain!"

"A bus pencil box!"

"A whole set of toy soldiers!" Those plastic soldiers had been Qin Guan's army when he had been a child .

The old couple exchanged a glance and smiled warmly at the boy . A man with such childlike innocence had to be a good person .

Qin Guan put all the toys he liked in a bag and walked over to the counter reluctantly . If he stayed there any longer, he would buy the whole store .

The old lady wrapped the toys up in a transparent wrapping paper decorated with flags of the United Kingdom . Qin Guan generously purchased a bag embroidered with a bear .

The old man smiled like a fox as Qin Guan put the bulging bag over his shoulder .

"Thank you for choosing our shop! It's 250 pounds in total!"

Qin Guan took out some bills . Feelings were a privilege of the rich . His parents would have beaten him if they knew that he had bought a cheap frog at such a high price . Qin Guan was 22 years old though and he was currently in London .

The street lamps lit up one by one as the old couple that owned the toy store locked the door and left hand in hand .

Qin Guan had no idea that there was a gift wrapped in red velvet in the bag . It was a surprise from the old man, who had given him the one-legged tin soldier and a ballerina in a white dress . The two toys were hugging each other .

There were many acts of kindness in life . They were usually hiding around the corner, waiting for somebody to discover them .

Panting, Qin Guan returned to his hotel, climbed on the large bed and fell asleep . His suitcase was so full that a corner of the coloful wrapping paper could be seen through the gap .

The next day, Sister Xue took Qin Guan to the set and left as fast as she could with the bald man . Qin Guan looked at their retreating backs in confusion . They seemed to have gotten quite familiar with each other in only a few hours .
