"Not bad, not bad." Natsume Rin ate even faster.
While the two young ladies were discussing where to go for fun, he concentrated on finishing the food on the table. After eating three bowls of rice, he finally patted his stomach and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"No future." "Shame on you."
Their requirements are still too strict!
When they left the restaurant, it was the hottest time of the afternoon. Natsume Rin bought three ice creams at a roadside convenience store. She held one in each hand and walked under the shadows of the tall buildings on the roadside.
"Want to go shopping at a luxury store?" Natsume Rin looked at the mall in front of her.
"I don't think so." Shiina Mahiru was a little hesitant. Chanel should not be considered a luxury product.
"It's okay." Yukino made a judgment, ate the last bit of ice cream, and threw the bag into the trash can next to her.
She walked in first, and Natsume Rin had no objection and followed them.
There was a special rest area for men in the store. He walked around for half an hour and immediately found a place that suited him. He sat there motionless like other middle-aged men, waiting for the girls to pick him up after shopping.
However, it is still very rare to see high school students here. The uncle who was talking about the troubles in the company nearby looked at them for a few more times, and then continued to complain about his leader.
Natsume Rin was really bored now. He could still chat with his peers, but as a corporate slave he could do nothing but play with his phone alone.
Because of his slacking behavior, pictures were being sent to him continuously for his comments, and he couldn't calm down even in this occasion which was suitable for emptying his mind.
"How about this one?"
“Does the skirt look good?”
"It's almost autumn, and I think it would be appropriate to wear thicker clothes."
“This bag is so cheap.”
Shiina-san, how on earth were you able to fool Yukino and chat with others on the internet at the same time?
But he is indeed the culprit for being boring. If he didn't comment on every picture, Shiina Mahiru would not have such great motivation.
"Natsume, Shiina-san seems distracted."
Cold sweat broke out on him as he finally understood the joke in the group chat in the girls' dormitory.
Relying on simple relationship theory, Natsume Rin informed Shiina Mahiru, who was closer to her, of the current situation, and asked her to concentrate on dealing with Yukino while she packed up her things and went to the store to find them.
When they found them, the situation was very different from what Natsume Rin had expected. She thought they would at least be suspicious of each other, but it turned out that the two of them were as close as one person.
He was amazed at the magic of girls, and walked up to them with a smile on his face, chatting and laughing with them using the knowledge he had just learned.
"Xiaoxue, this bag suits you very well." Shiina Mahiru took a white bag and put it next to Yukino, and bought it without waiting for her suggestion.
Natsume Rin looked at him a few more times and nodded in approval of Shiina Mahiru's vision, but she was even more impressed by Shiina Mahiru's wealthy appearance.
It seems that even young ladies are divided into different levels.
"Let me pay." Yukino sighed. She wasn't so poor that she needed someone else to pay for a bag.
However, spending money on things she doesn't need is not in line with her consumption concept.
The boy noticed her reluctance and laughed with glee. After paying the bill, Yukino rolled her eyes at him and threw the bag to him without hesitation.
"Hold it for me."
"Hey, you need help with something like this too."
"Isn't this what you came out for today? Why are you so talkative?" The second lady ordered him around as if it were a matter of course.
Feeling looked down upon, Natsume Rin looked at Shiina Mahiru, who smiled gently and then gently put the bag in her hand into his arms.
"Be good, I'll go out and buy you something delicious."
"Sister, I want to drink milk."
She actually treated him like a child and was coaxing him. Natsume Rin was ruthless and made Shiina Mahiru so angry that she reached out and pinched his face and refused to let go.
"No."
"I feel like you two should go back to junior high school for a few more years." Yukino said, remaining aloof the whole time.
"Wrong, just let him study alone, and I will be the teacher of this idiot."
When they left the luxury store, the middle-aged men who gathered in the men's lounge at the door looked at Natsume Rin's treatment with envy.
He is indeed a pretty boy!
Chapter 256: Maybe there will be a different ending
Then they visited many famous attractions nearby. Because it was not a holiday, the flow of people was not large, and they saw a lot of things in a short time.
As the sky gradually darkened, the three people who had had a great time parted ways in front of the tram station.
"Thank you for the invitation, Shiina-san. I had a lot of fun today." Yukino held her newly bought bag in front of her with both hands and thanked Shiina Mahiru, the initiator of today's event.
On days like this she would usually stay at home, watch movies, cook, and read a book to spend her weekends. This time, it felt really good to be called out by Shiina Mahiru to go shopping.
If I have the chance in the future, I can indeed attend more events like this, but the prerequisite is not to buy such an expensive bag.
"I'm happy too, how about you?" Shiina Mahiru touched Natsume Rin with her hand, allowing the boy who failed at the critical moment to say a few words.
"Should I be happy?" Natsume Rin sighed.
"It depends on your own opinion."
"That's happiness." Natsume Rin repeated, biting her tongue: "I'm very happy to carry things for the two classmates."
"It seems like he has some resentment." Yukino looked at Shiina Mahiru with a smile, asking her to teach her boyfriend a lesson.
"I just asked you to carry some things." Shiina bumped his shoulder and took the bag of things he bought back from him. "Help me send Xiaoxue off. I'll go back by myself."
……
After she finished speaking, she left, leaving the two dumbfounded people standing there.
"What should we do?" Natsume Rin was the first to react and said thoughtfully.
Yukinoshita Yukino warned him with her eyes, telling him not to disturb him while she was having fun, but since she didn't say it explicitly, Natsume Rin took it as the shyness of a little girl and picked up her bag.
"Why buy so many things?"
"Go ask your girlfriend." Yukino was as aggressive as ever.
"She said she bought it for me." Natsume Rin looked at her and said sincerely.
"..."
She couldn't say these words out loud, so she could only walk in front silently, and when Natsume Rin caught up, she would give him the seat next to her.
"Yukinoshita-san doesn't look very friendly to me."
"It's not an illusion."
"Why? We have already entered the marriage hall." Natsume Rin didn't understand.
Yukino stared at him with murderous eyes, but she found that she couldn't do anything about the boy's shamelessness, so she could only keep emphasizing: "It's fake, you admitted it yourself."
"That's true, but it doesn't affect my liking for Yukinoshita-san. What about you?"
The beautiful figure under the street light seemed close at hand and yet far away. He used to think that he could get closer by being thick-skinned, but now it seems that that approach might not be the right one.
"Me?" Yukino smiled, "I hate you the most, otherwise I wouldn't have this attitude."
"Are you satisfied with this answer? Give me the things and you can go home."
She calmly reached out to take back her things, Natsume Rin jumped back a step, Yukino sighed, and seeing his stubborn look, she put her hands in her pockets and planned to go home alone.
"It's fake." Natsume Rin was sure.
"If you think so, go ahead."
"The real dislike is to ignore me. Why would you waste so much time talking to me about this?"
"... Natsume-san, our relationship is not that serious anyway."
"That's right. If siblings don't even talk to each other, even aunt will be unhappy." Natsume Rin suddenly realized.
Yukino looked at him coldly and found that he didn't seem to come to his senses at all, so she could only keep moving forward.
From Natsume Rin's perspective, the resolute departure of the beautiful and proud girl was indeed heartbreaking.
He didn't know why he had such thoughts. If a proud girl like Yukinoshita knew that he was feeling distressed, she might even look angry.
"In a hurry to get home?"
"I'm just anxious to get away from you. Natsume-san might do something perverted." She said this while looking up.
"Oh, yes, you reminded me." Natsume Rin said to herself.
Yukino cooperated by taking a vigilant posture, but when she realized that this might lead to misunderstanding, she silently put her hand down.
"If I really make a mistake, it won't help no matter how vigilant I am."
"Not necessarily. If you said you would call the police, I might just run away." Natsume Rin admitted.
"Will running be useful?" Yukino looked at him charmingly, "Do you have any other information that I don't know? Then I'll bring the police to Shiina's house and wait for you."
"I'll move now."
"Is this the old house you bought? Have you renovated it?" Yukino looked at him curiously.
"...I don't think I have revealed any information." Natsume Rin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "So you, Yukinoshita, have been secretly investigating me. In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just tell me. I will tell you anything you want to know."
"Bank card password?" Yukino's expression quickly turned cold, but it did not affect the movement of her mouth.
"It's both of our birthdays." Natsume Rin answered without hesitation.
The two fell silent, Yukino rubbed her temple in pain, and Natsume Rin whistled, feeling that she had accidentally let something slip.
"Natsume-san." Yukino looked at him seriously, "Such little tricks won't cause me any psychological fluctuations."
Nonsense, who was daydreaming just now?
"It's enough to send it here. Give me the things."
Before they knew it, they had reached the bottom of Yukino's apartment building. This time, the girl reached out to him again and Natsume Rin couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
"Are you still planning to go into the room to have tea?" Seeing his hesitation, Yukino joked.
Natsume Rin came back to her senses and handed the things to her without hesitation, "Yukinoshita-san, I wish you a good dream tonight."
