I'll make up for it next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi laughed it off, then heard Xia Xia Xia Mujun's polite compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This outfit today suits you very well, you look beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi's heart immediately blossomed with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ask yourself, what girl doesn't look forward to affirmation from the guy she's with after dressing up carefully?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She felt that the decision to leave early to wash up and change was absolutely correct!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In reality, she had been waiting here for a few minutes, calculating that she could just \"happen\" to walk home with Xia Xia Xia Mujun and see where he lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm ready on my end, shall we go pick up Ruri-chan together?\" she suggested with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Xia Xia Xia Mujun had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The weather in Tokyo in April, between spring and summer, was cool and pleasant with a gentle breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two walked side by side on the street. Fujiwara Aoi secretly glanced at Xia Xia Xia Mujun beside her, her wheat-colored cheeks slightly flushed, her heart beating fast since they met.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked even better today than usual, yet there were no traces of any cosmetics on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could it be... that he was also looking forward to this date, so he specifically used some skincare products to maintain his appearance?\u003C\u002Fp>",1291,"2026-06-15T07:08:26.586Z","2026-06-17T08:41:32.805Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","58fa4c03f5044a294603942b723bac4a3a84ccb2e59e0962cb677a6b1c7c1fbd","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-121","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-119",624,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-cover.jpg"]
