Wu Yi took a quick look and felt it was a bit strange.
Generally speaking, people go to clothing stores to buy clothes for the next season, especially since it is already early April and the weather will officially start to get warmer in a month or so. However, the thickness of the sweatshirt in Karuizawa Megumi's hand is almost enough to be worn as a late autumn jacket.
According to the current trend of rising temperature, at best I can wear it for... ten days or half a month?
"Well, I wanted to buy this dress last month." Karuizawa Megumi stuck out her tongue playfully, "But I just got 100,000 points at that time, so I bought too much at once, resulting in no points left to buy this one."
"And you missed it for a whole month?" Wu Yi was in awe.
"Yeah, so I came here to buy it right after I got the points this time."
Karuizawa Kei nodded and raised the clothes in her hands happily.
"Then I'll go try on the clothes first, and then help me take a closer look at how they look on me."
"Row."
Watching the girl running in happily with a pair of clothes in her hand, Wu Yi looked around and prepared to find a place to sit down. As a result, when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure peeking out from behind the clothes rack.
What a coincidence, it turned out to be Kikyo Kushida.
"Hello, hello~ What a coincidence, I actually met classmate Wu Yi here. I just happened to see her when I was passing by outside, so I came in to say hello."
This two-faced beauty greeted in her usual sweet and charming voice and began to look around.
"Oh, why is Wu Yi alone? Shouldn't he have come with someone?"
"If you want to ask Hui, she just went into the fitting room to change her clothes."
Wu Yi pointed with her thumb in the direction of the fitting room behind her.
"And you, who are you coming with?"
"...Ah, that's right. It's so annoying."
Upon hearing that Karuizawa Megumi had just entered the fitting room and would not come out for a while, Kushida Kikyo turned her head and looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to this side. Her expression immediately changed, and her voice suddenly changed from that of a lively girl to that of a decadent and world-weary person.
"Look behind me, outside the glass, at the door of the ramen shop across the street. Do you see those two idiots?"
"Two idiots... ah~ I see it, I see it."
Wu Yi raised his head and murmured softly, his eyes looking over the girl's shoulder, through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the clothing store, and towards the aisle outside. He soon caught sight of the so-called "two idiots".
It turned out to be Yamauchi and Ike Kanji. The two of them were standing in front of the ramen shop, seemingly chatting about something. They were probably waiting for Kushida Kikyo to say hello and leave.
"You actually went out shopping with the two of them?" Wu Yi was a little surprised.
"Ha ha……"
Kushida Kikyo gave two impolite dry laughs.
"To be honest, if it wasn't for that idiot Yamauchi who kept pestering me and almost rushed to my dormitory to drag me out to go shopping, I wouldn't have gone out with two idiots... By the way, do you want to guess how he asked me out?"
"Please begin your story."
"He sent me a message at three in the morning yesterday! He said!"
Kushida Kikyo lowered her voice, but one could tell that every word she said was squeezed out from between her teeth.
"He said that the new game he had been eyeing was now available at the digital store in the shopping mall, and he hoped I could give him some advice!"
"……What?"
Wu Yi almost thought he had heard it wrong and almost laughed out loud.
What does it mean that a new game you've been eyeing is now available and you want to find someone to help you with some advice?
Well... you already know that this is the game you want, so what else is there to consult? If you have money, just JUST BUY it!
"It told me that the game has three versions: the regular edition, the deluxe edition, and the ultimate edition. It insisted on asking me for advice on which one to buy and even dragged me to the store to check it out." Kushida Kikyo became more and more angry as she spoke.
"Can you imagine a guy who can't even come up with an excuse to ask a girl out? He needs help with buying a game. Oh my god, I really... oh!"
Well, I can already feel your anger...
After all, he even used the term "it", which must mean he was extremely angry.
But Wu Yi still expressed some consolation.
"Well... I think you should restrain yourself a little. After all, this is a public place... If you want to vent, you can do it later."
"Huh~ That's right."
Kushida Kikyo glanced at him and pouted her lips, then began to take deep breaths to calm her breath. After a while, she returned to her usual cute appearance, made a scissors hand gesture at her mouth, and switched back to the voice of a lively girl.
"Okay, I'll go back first. Those two idiots are still waiting for me. I wish you and Karuizawa-san have a happy shopping~"
"go Go."
grass……
Wu Yixin said.
But he quickly called the other person back.
"Oh, wait."
"What's wrong?" Kushida Kikyo turned back cutely.
"Do you know where in the shopping mall here I buy tattoo stickers?" Wu Yi asked his question.
"Tattoo stickers, um..."
Kushida Kikyo thought about it seriously.
"I remember seeing it near the east exit."
"OK, thanks."

Volume 52: Chapter Karuizawa Megumi's favorability up↑up↑
As soon as Kushida Kikyo left, Karuizawa Megumi came out of the fitting room.
She had already changed into the pink sweatshirt she had taken a fancy to. She lifted the curtain of the fitting room and looked around for a moment. Then she hurriedly ran out, walked around two or three rows of hangers, came to Wu Yi, and turned around twice in place with her arms half raised, like a very girlish person.
"How is it, how does it feel and look?"
"Um……"
Although he was actually calm inside, Wu Yi still pinched his chin and looked at it intently.
"It's OK. It's good. It suits you well."
"Yeah~"
Karuizawa Hui was a little happy to receive recognition from others, and she happily turned around twice on the spot.
Wu Yi's gaze moved slightly downward.
Mainly, if he didn't remember it wrong or the world line changed, today's Karuizawa Megumi seemed to be wearing a blue dress, but at this moment, there were two bright bare legs under the hem of her sweatshirt.
"Wait a minute, where's your skirt?"
"Well……"
As if some strange pain point was touched, the girl suddenly became silent, pulling the hem of her sweatshirt with both hands, hesitating for a long time before she uttered a sentence in a low voice.
"The clothes were a little small, so they couldn't fit me after I put them on, so I left them in the dressing room...but, but I was able to wear them when I tried them on last month!"
"Oh--"
Wu Yi dragged out the tone and thought to himself that it was no wonder that he looked back when he came out as if he was afraid of being seen.
In fact, it would have been fine if Karuizawa Kei didn't explain. At most, she could have just assumed that the clothes were too small. But once she gave this explanation, it suddenly felt strange.
I could wear it last month, but I can’t wear it this month.
To put it bluntly, isn't that just getting fat?
"Then just ask the waiter to get you a larger size." Wu Yi made a very pertinent suggestion.
But what was met with was the girl's firm refusal.
"No! Just take this size!"
"Then you think it's too small?"
“I’ll lose weight!”
Hey, here it comes, this weird desire to win again.
Wu Yi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then raised his index finger: "I suggest you get a size up, preferably two sizes... Ah, don't look at me like that, that's not what I meant. The most important thing is, isn't this dress for autumn and winter?"
"……so what?"
"So when you came to try it on last time, you were probably only wearing a thin piece of clothing underneath. But if you still want to wear this piece of clothing in the winter, you'll have to wear other clothes underneath. By then, let alone losing one size, I'm afraid it won't be enough even if you lose two or three sizes," Wu Yi explained patiently.
"……Right."
After a fierce ideological struggle for a while, Karuizawa Hui finally made up her mind, nodded, and clenched her fists.
"I'll ask the waiter if they have a larger size."
"……up to you."
After all, it was other people who spent their own money to buy clothes for themselves, so Wu Yi couldn't say anything. She just shrugged and let her go.
About ten or twenty minutes later, the two came out of the clothing store. Karuizawa Megumi changed back into her original dress, but she had two more bags in her hands.
But Wu Yi still had nothing in his hands.
Walking on the indoor pedestrian street of the commercial plaza, Karuizawa Kei was in a very good mood after buying the clothes she had longed for. She tilted her head and looked at someone beside her.
"Thank you for coming out to go shopping with me today, your day off."
"It doesn't matter. I don't have anything to do on the weekend anyway." Wu Yi said, "So, where are we going next?"
"Well……"
Karuizawa Megumi kept her head tilted and thought about it for a while.
"Actually, we didn't have any plans, but let's just go get some milk tea."
"milk tea?"
"Well, even if it's just a thank you, why... do you think it's too shabby?" There was a hint of mischief in the girl's voice.
"That's not it."
Wu Yi glanced at the bag of clothes in her hand and raised his eyebrows.
"I just remember that you seemed to have said you wanted to lose weight about twenty minutes ago, and now you turn around and say you want to drink milk tea. Isn't that a bit... huh?"
Contrary to expectations, the girl would start a brutal psychological struggle lasting for several minutes and finally be forced to give up reluctantly. Upon hearing this, Karuizawa Kei simply shook her index finger nonchalantly.
"No, a girl's body is immune to the calories from milk tea."
"I'm telling you, you're deceiving yourself..."
Having said that, the two of them headed towards the direction of the milk tea shop.
……
"Hmm~ It tastes delicious!"
In front of the milk tea shop, holding the mango milk tea she had just bought in the queue, Karuizawa Megumi took a big sip from the straw, and then made a sound that showed she had no regrets in life.
"Shopping is indeed the best match with milk tea, especially when you are thirsty after shopping, it's perfect to have a sip of milk tea!"
"Ah ha ha……"
Wu Yi also took a sip of the milk tea in his hand and gave a dry laugh.
He chose coconut milk tea.
This is a very old-fashioned flavor of milk tea, which appeared almost at the same time as the earliest pearl milk tea. However, even though milk tea has been updated and iterated three times, it still occupies a place in major milk tea shops today, perfectly interpreting what it means to have everlasting classics.
"Okay, now that we've bought the milk tea, it's almost time to go back."
Holding a milk tea in one hand, Wu Yi took out his cell phone, checked the time and said, then turned and walked towards the exit of the shopping mall.
Karuizawa Kei hummed twice and hurried to catch up, but she realized something was wrong after taking only two steps.
