Chapter 103 is the best...
"How about we go shopping for clothes first? It's October, and the weather is gradually turning autumnal and getting cooler."
Su Qing spoke to Shiina, who had been keeping her head down since the beginning.
"I, I'm fine with anything."
Although her words didn't reveal much emotion, it was clear from the fact that Su Qing was holding Shiina's hand that Shiina had used a bit more force when she asked the question.
Su Qing didn't say anything about it, but just smiled faintly and led her into a nicely decorated clothing store.
"Welcome! Would you like me to recommend some styles for you?"
As soon as they entered the store, a sales assistant came out. Although she was clearly stunned when she saw the two of them, she quickly composed herself and put on a smile again.
"If it's convenient, just tell us where your women's autumn clothes are located, and we'll choose them ourselves."
"Okay, of course, this way please."
……
"This store has a lot of styles."
Upon arriving at the women's autumn clothing section, Shiina glanced around briefly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
For women, especially girls like Shiina, going shopping and buying clothes with friends is something to look forward to, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's fun.
However, after a month of getting to know each other, Su Qing also knew that the other party probably didn't have any close friends. As for family, he guessed that Shiina's relationship with his family was probably not very good.
In other words, when the other person goes shopping or buying clothes, they are most likely doing so alone.
As for whether there's any difference between going out alone and going out with friends, the person asking this question probably hasn't gone out with friends before.
In this past month, Shiina has allowed Su Qing to enjoy so many delicious foods that she has never tasted before.
Therefore, Su Qing also wanted to do her best to let Shiina experience more things. The plan to go out today was actually prepared in advance. It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision by Su Qing. Even without the reason of the exam reward, there would have been other reasons.
"Is there anything you like?"
Su Qing didn't know much about women's clothing, but that didn't stop her from commenting on Shiina's costume show later.
"How about this one?"
Shiina picked up a white blouse and a floral skirt and asked.
"It looks good. Go to the fitting room and try it on. I'll wait for you outside."
The women's clothing section is ultimately a paradise for girls. It would be fine if Shiina accompanied him, but he felt something was off leaving Su Qing alone there, so he decided to go outside and wait.
……
"How, how is it?"
After Shiina changed her clothes, Su Qing also came in.
It was easy to hear that Shiina's voice sounded somewhat tense at this moment.
"Hmm...it looks pretty good, but it still seems to be lacking something."
It's not that Shiina's choice was bad; Shiina looks quite youthful and girlish in this outfit. However, in Su Qing's opinion, it could be improved a bit more.
"And this one?"
Shiina then picked up a khaki cardigan, along with a matching lining and skirt, and asked Su Qing.
"Just looking at it like this, it's not very clear. Let's try it on again."
"Okay, I'll go change it."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside as usual."
After a while, Su Qing didn't see Shiina, but instead...
"Hey handsome, are you alone? How about having lunch with the two of us? Many people say the Western food here is authentic."
While Su Qing was waiting, two scantily clad women approached her and started chatting.
"No interest, I'm waiting for someone."
Su Qing glanced at the two of them briefly before looking away and calmly said.
"Hey, what's the big deal? We can eat at the Western restaurant while we wait. Your friend must be hungry too, right?"
"...?"
Su Qing hadn't expected the two women to be so entangled. Judging by the time, Shiina should be better soon. Based on the principle of not arguing with idiots, Su Qing decided to go back to the store to meet her, which would also effectively reject the two women.
The next moment, a pleasant yet slightly hurried voice interrupted everything.
"Sorry, he already has an appointment."
Shiina came outside, grabbed Su Qing's arm, said something, and led Su Qing back into the store, leaving the two women staring at each other in bewilderment.
After a while.
"Oh, it's all your fault for trying to steal her away! I already told you that the guy standing outside the women's clothing section was probably out shopping with his girlfriend!"
"Hmm, I was just thinking that this was the first time I'd seen such a handsome guy, so I wanted to try my luck. If the girl wasn't pretty, I'd just snatch him away~"
"Still touching? Still robbing? I think we should just move to Gobutan tonight."
"What are you going there for? Besides, where would you get the money?"
"Batman has been searching for a way to relieve his sorrows for hundreds of years, don't you think?"
"Ahem, don't be angry, I'll treat you to the latest milk tea, okay?"
"A cup?"
“Two cups!”
"I knew we were the best sisters in the world!"
……
I mean Shiina.
"what's up?"
"Should this be enough?"
It's not uncommon for guys to accompany their girlfriends shopping for clothes here, but it's relatively rare to see someone like Shiina holding onto their boyfriend's arm so tightly.
This attracted a lot of attention, with many people looking at them with envy. Many men glanced at Shiina, then at their girlfriends, and sighed silently.
What the man was then faced with was the much-anticipated "wife-chasing hell" scenario...
"I'm sorry, if I don't hold you tight, I'm worried you'll fall..."
Shiina realized what was happening and lowered her head to apologize to Su Qing.
"How could someone as big as me disappear?"
Yes! Just like, just like just now.
Shiina suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with determination, as if if she had arrived a second later, Su Qing would have really been "kidnapped" by those two girls.
"If it was just now, don't worry. After all, I wasn't planning on paying attention to them anyway. Even if you hadn't come, I would have come in to find you."
"Huh...? Is that so?"
"Yes. That's it."
Su Qing nodded, and then saw that the other person's originally fair neck gradually became flushed, and her expression became unnatural.
"This outfit suits you even better than the previous one, it looks great on you."
Su Qing suddenly spoke up.
"really?"
"It really couldn't be truer."
"So... do you like it?"
"I quite like it, but it's up to you. There's still plenty of time, so try on a few more."
"No... this one will do."
"Aren't you going to watch it anymore?"
"No need, this one... is the best."
Shiina's eyes sparkled with gentle light, and a bright smile, as warm as the spring sun, lifted her lips, instantly warming everything around her. Then she spoke softly.
"Really? That's good."
Su Qing didn't really know how to choose these things, but since the other party had already said that this was the best, then... it must be the best, right?
"I'll pay later, since I promised to bring you out to have fun."
"No, that's not fair. Besides... I can pay for this myself."
"why?"
"Often, girls don't ask that many questions."
"That sounds so domineering."
"Hmph, you only realize that now? Anyway, I'll pay for this myself..."
"Aside from this one item, I hope you won't try to take any more of my money today."
Although I don't know why Shiina is so insistent on paying for this, as long as it doesn't affect the overall plan for today.
But the more I look at Shiina's outfit, the better it looks...
Is this Shiina's perspective?
So it really is true.
The best one...
If Chapter 104 is a "privilege," then there's nothing we can do.
After paying for their clothes, Su Qing and Shiina browsed around a few other shops, but apart from the "best" item, they didn't buy anything else.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and lunchtime arrived in the blink of an eye.
Since their plans for the day were not yet finished, the two did not choose to go home. After all, transportation and cooking would take up a lot of time and energy, and besides, the weekend was precious and they could not afford to waste a single moment.
Therefore, the two went to a restaurant for a meal.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this restaurant?"
After the food was served, Shiina noticed that Su Qing, who had just taken a bite, seemed somewhat petrified, and asked with concern.
Su Qing was silent for a moment, put down the spoon in her hand, took a few seconds to adjust herself, and then joked:
"There's nothing wrong. It's just that I've gotten used to your cooking over the past month, and my palate has become a bit picky. The first bite was surprisingly bland and tasteless, but it's much better now."
Shiina was surprised by this reason and burst out laughing:
"Why are you talking like you can't live without my cooking?"
"It might actually be true. Didn't I tell you? You should have a deeper understanding of the value of your cooking."
Su Qing spoke very seriously, and there was no sign that she was joking.
"Y-yeah...?"
"Well, but if you're going to make me pay extra for the food now, I won't. That would be against the contract."
Su Qing took a bite of rice and added.
"That's true. Since it's a contract, it should be kept strictly..."
……
Since nothing could compare to Shiina's cooking, Su Qing and Shiina quickly finished their lunch and unanimously agreed that eating at home was much better.
After sitting for a while, Su Qing suggested going to check out the entertainment venues on the basement level. Shiina readily agreed, which was evident from his eager appearance upon arrival.
"I always feel like you're laughing at me."
Upon arriving at the basement level, Shiina glanced around at the entertainment options available. Her initial excitement from the first visit subsided slightly, and when she noticed the barely suppressed smile on Su Qing's face, she couldn't help but say something.
“I won’t make fun of you just because you’re excited like a little kid. I’m not that kind of person.”
