Chapter 123

"Ruri wants to go to the restroom, Fujiwara-nee-san and Brother go ahead."

Fujiwara Aoi was stunned for a moment:

"Is that so... Xia Xia Xia Mujun, what about you?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't mind; he had to wait for his sister anyway, and walking around with two people was better than just waiting.

Besides, he had been hurriedly pulled away by Yukimura Suzune just now and hadn't really looked around carefully.

"Okay, let's go in."

Fujiwara Aoi was happy in her heart:

"Mm-hmm! Let's go!"

Thus, under Fujiwara Aoi's lead, Xia Xia Xia Mujun walked into the merchandise shop again.

Fujiwara Aoi pulled him around excitedly, looking here and there.

Especially when she tried on a pair of rabbit ear headbands, she turned and asked: "Xia Xia Xia Mujun, does this look good?"

"It suits you very well, very cute."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun wasn't exaggerating; Fujiwara Aoi was already pretty, and wearing it added a touch of liveliness.

Hearing his compliment, Fujiwara Aoi's heart bloomed with joy, her wheat-colored skin showing an excited flush, and she immediately decided to buy it!

Besides this, she had an even more important goal...

Taking advantage of Xia Xia Xia Mujun's slightly shifted attention, Fujiwara Aoi quickly picked up the pair of Judy and Nick couple-limited dolls, then walked in front of him, laughing it off:

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, I've picked it out, let's go pay."

"Okay."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't think much of it.

He also went to pay because he had received a message from his sister on the way, saying she wanted two small protagonist clay figures that could be hung on a keychain.

Seeing the price wasn't expensive, totaling only three thousand yen, and it was rare for his sister to take the initiative to say she liked something, it wouldn't hurt to buy them.

Soon it was their turn to pay.

The person serving them happened to be the same sales clerk from earlier.

When she saw Xia Xia Xia Mujun again, she was stunned.

Why is it this handsome guy again?

Didn't he just buy something once?

Why is there another beautiful girl next to him?

Could it be his sister?

She subconsciously felt that this handsome guy looked upright and didn't seem like the type to be a scumbag...

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, give me yours too, let's pay together."

"Okay."

The sales clerk began scanning the codes.

When she saw the familiar couple-limited dolls, her expression became very interesting.

"Um... this Judy and Nick couple-limited doll set requires confirmation of a couple relationship to be purchased..."

Her tone was a bit strange.

Although Fujiwara Aoi had known about this, she couldn't hide her embarrassment at this moment:

"Is... is that so?"

"May I ask... are you two a couple?"

The sales clerk's gaze shifted between the two.

Hearing this, Fujiwara Aoi's cheeks flushed red, and with shyness and expectation, she quietly and forcefully blinked at Xia Xia Xia Mujun, clearly hinting at something.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was a bit dazed at this moment, and a bit dumbfounded.

Why are you buying this too?

And why is it this clerk again?

When he received the complex look from the other party, as if she were looking at a "time management master," he couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment.

However, looking at Fujiwara Aoi's cute eyes filled with expectation and pleading, he felt a bit soft-hearted.

Forget it, anyway, he probably wouldn't come again in the future, so helping is helping.

"Yes, we are a couple." He spoke again.

Hearing him admit it himself, Fujiwara Aoi only felt a huge joy rushing to the top of her head; she was almost floating!

Although she knew it was just helping, what girl wouldn't be happy to hear the guy she likes admit it in public?!

And the sales clerk on the side was already in a storm of shock.

Just bought it with a cold beauty with long black hair, and turned around to bring another wheat-colored energetic beauty to buy it?

She couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart: Pressure-mas-nei! Really... both scummy and bad!

However, he's already scummy with two, adding one more... shouldn't matter, right?

A bold thought flashed through her mind.

Taking advantage of the two not paying attention, she quickly tore off a small piece of paper and scribbled a few lines.

"It's 20,197 yen in total." She maintained a professional tone to Fujiwara Aoi.

Fujiwara Aoi, who was at the peak of excitement, didn't hesitate to take money out of her dog-pattern wallet: "Bought!"

"Okay, received... here is the change, please take it."

The sales clerk finished the transaction, handed the bag to Xia Xia Xia Mujun, and at the same time, her fingertips quickly tucked the folded note into his palm.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't notice immediately and took the bag to leave.

And Fujiwara Aoi followed behind him, bouncing like a happy little bird.

Walking out of the shop, just as Xia Xia Xia Mujun wanted to hand the bag to Fujiwara Aoi, he felt a foreign object in his palm.

He unfolded the note in confusion, only to see it written:

"To this handsome little brother:

You wouldn't want the cute 'girlfriend' beside you to know about what just happened, would you?

If you don't want that... remember to call me tonight.

0X-XXXX-XXXX (^_-)☆"

After reading it, Xia Xia Xia Mujun froze instantly, then showed an expression mixed with absurdity, helplessness, and dumbfoundment.

What is all this!

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, your expression is so strange? What are you holding in your hand?" Fujiwara Aoi leaned over curiously.

"Nothing..." Xia Xia Xia Mujun quickly put away the note and shook his head.

He didn't intend to show Fujiwara Aoi; explaining it would be troublesome and meaningless.

After all, neither she nor Yukimura Suzune were his real lovers at this moment, just helping out.

As for this note, he certainly wouldn't keep it, thinking of finding a trash can to dispose of it later.

Fujiwara Aoi didn't ask further, just remembered what happened earlier and became shy again, stammering:

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, just now... I'm really sorry."

"I didn't expect there to be such a rule, forcing you to help with such a favor, it must have been difficult for you..."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun smiled and comforted:

"It's okay, it's no big deal."

"It was just saying one sentence."

Hearing this, a bright smile bloomed on Fujiwara Aoi's face.

Having said that, when she saw Natsume Ruri return "just in time," Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but happily give her the extra Nick keychain she had bought.

"Ruri-chan, this keychain is for you!"

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

"Of course it is! I'm really happy that Ruri-chan could watch the movie with me today!"

"Then Ruri will accept it, thank you Fujiwara-nee-san!"

Natsume Ruri took it happily.

She didn't expect that Yukimura Suzune and Fujiwara Aoi, one gave Judy and the other gave Nick, just happened to make a pair.

Now, without spending a cent, she and her brother could each have one!

Ruri's big victory!
