Chapter 122: You wouldn't want your girlfriend to know, would you?

Yukimura Suzune clearly didn't expect that the familiar back she had glimpsed earlier was actually Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

She looked at him and found that he seemed even more handsome today than he had been two days ago?

However, why was he here?

She wanted to ask, but her gaze caught Natsume Ruri standing behind Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

So... he was here to watch a movie with his sister.

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, are you here to watch a movie with your sister?" Yukimura Suzune asked.

Before Xia Xia Xia Mujun could answer, Natsume Ruri smiled and spoke first: "Yes, Yukimura-nee-san!"

Yukimura Suzune realized: "I see."

She examined Natsume Ruri, thinking she was worthy of being Xia Xia Xia Mujun's sister, indeed cute and polite.

It's just that the siblings don't seem to look very much alike?

Perhaps one takes after the father and the other after the mother?

"Is Yukimura-nee-san here to watch a movie too?"

"Yes."

She didn't deny it.

She had always liked the movie *Zootopia*, and with the sequel released, she naturally had to watch it on the premiere day.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with coming alone.

She cared even less about the eyes of others—watching a movie was a very personal thing.

Being alone allowed her to enjoy the quiet, focus on the plot, and come and go freely without having to accommodate others.

"Is Yukimura-nee-san also watching *Zootopia 2*?!"

"Yes."

"The second one is so good! Ruri never expected Judy and Nick to become fugitives!"

"I didn't expect it either."

"And also, the ending there..."

The two started chatting about the plot just like that.

Although Yukimura Suzune didn't show a smile on her face, one could tell from her tone that she was in a good mood.

The Natsume Ruri in front of her made her completely unable to dislike her; she was really quite cute.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun wasn't the type to talk at length after watching a movie.

Compared to leading the discussion, he was more accustomed to listening quietly.

Of course, he wasn't completely silent; he would occasionally interject a sentence or two at the right time.

At this moment, Yukimura Suzune's gaze drifted involuntarily to the side—that was the Judy and Nick couple-limited doll set, available only for couples to purchase.

She wanted it very much!

Or rather, she had been standing there for a long time just looking at this.

It was just that, hindered by...

Her gaze quietly swept over Xia Xia Xia Mujun beside her. After a moment of silence, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, but she acted calm and spoke:

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, can I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?"

Yukimura Suzune didn't explain, just said:

"Don't ask anything, just come with me and stand by my side for a little while. It won't take up much of your time, is that okay...?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was slightly stunned, thinking that since Fujiwara Aoi hadn't returned yet, it wouldn't hurt to go and see.

"That's fine, but..." He turned to look at his sister.

Natsume Ruri was so clever that she saw at a glance that Yukimura Suzune wanted to buy that pair of dolls, and immediately smiled considerately:

"If it's only for a little while, it's fine. Brother, you go with Yukimura-nee-san, Ruri will look at other interesting merchandise here."

Seeing this, Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded.

When he saw Yukimura Suzune pick up that pair of limited-edition dolls, he immediately understood her intention, but he didn't say much; it was just a small favor.

Soon, Yukimura Suzune brought Xia Xia Xia Mujun to the checkout counter.

The sales clerk's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Xia Xia Mujun beside Yukimura Suzune, but then a hint of regret appeared.

In the end, she had no choice—the two outstanding people standing together were indeed a perfect match.

"These are the Judy and Nick couple-limited edition dolls, are you two a couple?"

According to the rules, the clerk needed to confirm.

Yukimura Suzune's originally cold, forced-calm face instantly flushed red, and her pupils trembled slightly.

Why do you have to be asked such a question just for buying a pair of dolls...

Isn't it enough that the two are standing together, looking like a couple?

She opened her mouth, speechless for a moment.

Just then, a calm voice came from beside her:

"We are a couple."

Hearing this, Yukimura Suzune's cheeks burned even redder, her gaze flickering, not daring to look at Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

Hearing the man admit it himself, the clerk's little fantasy was completely shattered, and she could only put on a professional smile:

"Understood. You two can purchase them. It's 10,340 yen in total. Will it be cash, bank card, or mobile payment?"

Yukimura Suzune lowered her head slightly and took out the cash from her cat wallet:

"Cash..."

After receiving the change and the packed dolls, she left the counter with small, quick steps.

When she returned to Natsume Ruri's side, the flush on her face hadn't completely faded, but she explained calmly:

"Just now... thank you for helping me out."

"But I didn't expect there to be this step... sorry."

"But this was just a necessary excuse for the purchase... I hope you don't mind."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun shook his head:

"Of course not."

Hearing his straightforward answer, Yukimura Suzune breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, a faint, subtle emotion she hadn't even noticed herself welled up in her heart.

The two looked around the shop and didn't see Natsume Ruri, but found she was already standing at the shop entrance, waving at them with a smile.

Yukimura Suzune took a Judy keychain she had bought extra from the paper bag and handed it to Natsume Ruri, revealing a rare, faint, soft expression: "Ruri-chan, I borrowed your brother for a moment just now, this is for you."

"Eh? Is it really okay to give it to Ruri?"

"It's fine, consider it a greeting gift."

"Then Ruri won't be polite, thank you Yukimura-nee-san!"

Natsume Ruri took it happily, clearly liking the gift.

"Thank you."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun also thanked her on his sister's behalf.

"No need, you helped me too..." Yukimura Suzune remembered the scene just now, and the heat on her face had a tendency to rise again. She coughed lightly, "I have something else to do next, so I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Yukimura-nee-san."

Not long after Yukimura Suzune left, Fujiwara Aoi, who had finished touching up her makeup in the restroom, arrived late.

"Sorry, sorry, kept you waiting for a long time..."

"It's okay, Brother and I only waited for a little while."

"Fujiwara-san, do you have any plans for what's next?" Xia Xia Xia Mujun asked.

Fujiwara Aoi had come prepared today.

She had long seen the information online and knew that Judy and Nick couple-limited dolls were sold here.

Now, it was time to execute the "strategy" she had carefully prepared!

She coughed lightly and said:

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, Ruri-chan, I want to go into the merchandise shop and look around again, what do you think...?"

Natsume Ruri blinked, then smiled knowingly:
