Chapter 7: Serendipity

"Please wrap this set of cutlery for me!"

After repeated selections, Lin Shuichi and Akemi finally chose a set of tableware that suited their hearts as the wedding gifts of Zuojin and Mie. After explaining his needs to the shopping guide of the Hermes house, the other party immediately carefully packaged the set of tableware in the gift box in the store, and then led Lin Xiuyi and Akemi to the cashier to pay together.

"Hello, welcome to the House of Hermès, the price of this set of cutlery you have purchased is 99,000 yen!"

After hearing this price, although Lin Xiuyi felt a little expensive in his heart, he still calmly took out 10 10,000 yen bills from his wallet and handed them to the other party. After the other party took the fee handed by Lin Xiuyi with both hands, he immediately opened the cash register and took out a 1,000 yen bill and handed it back to Lin Xiuyi.

"This is your change and receipt, thank you for your love of the House of Hermès and look forward to your next visit!"

……

When the clerk here helped Lin Xiuyi take the tableware to the door, he first helped Lin Xiuyi and Akemi open the door of the store, and then returned the tableware to Lin Xiuyi's hand, just when the other party bowed down to say goodbye to Lin Xiuyi and Akemi, a pair of familiar figures happened to come to the door of the Hermes house at this time.

"Ah...... What a coincidence!"

Hearing someone call out Lin Xiuyi's name, Akemi hurriedly turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice, but suddenly found a lady with an extraordinary temperament and a fair-skinned, blonde foreign woman walking towards Lin Xiuyi with a look of surprise.

"Eh, Lifan, Miss Catherine, good evening!"

"I didn't expect to meet you in it, does Xiu Yijun also live around here?"

"No, because I was going to a friend's wedding in a few days, I made a special trip to buy a set of tableware as a wedding gift for each other......"

"Oh......"

……

Li Fan noticed that there was a lady standing next to Lin Xiuyi, although the mask the other party was wearing covered most of her face. But Li Fan saw from the other party's eyebrows that it should be a very young woman standing next to Lin Xiuyi.

"This is ......"

"Ah...... She's my girlfriend, Akemi-chan! Because I happen to be free tonight, I'll stop by and take a look! Akemi-chan, this is my classmate in high school, Riho Kirishima, and the one standing next to him is Satomi's friend, Miss Ekaterina. ”

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's personal words about his girlfriend, Li Fan's face couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise, but she covered it up with a smile. At this moment, Akemi took the initiative to greet her first:

"Please take care of me when we meet for the first time, I'm Akemi, Shuichi-kun's girlfriend!"

"Hmm...... Please take care of me, I'm Xiu Yijun's former classmate Li Fan......! Why don't you go in and sit down for a while and have a drink together?"

"Huh......?"

Hearing the other party's invitation, Akemi turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyi with some uncertainty. Lin Xiuyi hesitated for a moment, feeling that since he was a familiar classmate in the past, he was afraid that it would not be good to excuse himself in person, so he nodded and said to Li Fan:

"It's rare that everyone has met again, so let's go have a drink together!"

……

Seeing that the guests who were just about to go out followed their friends back to the store, the shopping guide in the store greeted them warmly. When she learned that several customers wanted to sit down for a drink, the shopping guide took them to the coffee shop on the second floor, and then served the menu.

Because it is a café in a Hermès store, there are only a few types of drinks such as coffee, champagne and juice, but there are many beautifully made chocolates and sweets to choose from.

"That...... Why don't you try the champagne here, although it is an alcoholic drink, it has a very soft taste, and it is perfect with the chocolate here!"

"Uh...... I'll forget about drinks and desserts, and I'll sit here with Xiu Yijun for a while. ”

Hearing Li Fan's warm invitation, Akemi could only awkwardly refuse the other party's kindness. Considering that if you want to eat, you will have to take off the mask on your face, and although it is a bit rude to wear a mask all the time and refuse to show your true face, Akemi has no other choice.

"Uh...... Isn't it to your taste!......

"Don't bother, Miss Rifan! Akemi-chan has been a little uncomfortable in the past few days, probably because I'm afraid it will affect everyone!"

Seeing that Li Fan's expression was a little embarrassed by Akemi's rejection, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly started a round, and Catherine, who was sitting on the side, also asked Lin Xiuyi in English because she couldn't understand why Akemi was wearing a mask all the time.

"I'm sorry, what happened to that little girl, why did she wear a mask all the time?"

"That...... I'm a little uncomfortable, so I hope you don't mind!"

Akemi was a little embarrassed to explain to Rifan and Catherine in English, and then bowed her head and apologized.

Maybe it's out of the heart of helping Akemi out of the siege! Lin Xiuyi didn't choose his favorite coffee as usual, but ordered a glass of champagne and the store's special chocolates like Li Fan and the others. After everything was ready, Lin Xiu raised his wine glass and touched it with Li Fan and Catherine, and then tasted the champagne here.

Refreshing champagne paired with a piece of the store's signature dark chocolate. Although this combination is more suitable for women, Lin Xiuyi, who tasted this taste for the first time, was really amazed. Who says men don't like sweets?

"By the way, the last time I heard Xiu Yijun say that it seems that he works in the Metropolitan Police Department now, may I ask...... Is Akemi-san also a police officer?"

"Uh...... Akemi's profession, how can I say it? I guess I work for a TV station!"

"Haha...... Yes, my last job was indeed a job for a TV station!"

Hearing that Lin Xiuyi was playing a round for himself, Akemi was also a little embarrassed to echo the core, Li Fan wanted to know more about Lin Xiuyi's recent situation, so he asked Lin Xiuyi a lot of things about him and Akemi. However, because of Mingmei's identity, Lin Xiuyi has always been a little restrained.

Because of Akemi's presence, this conversation did not make Rifan feel much of a sense of surprise after the reunion of his former classmates. Riho even felt that he had a feeling of rejection and rejection. When a glass of wine was drunk, Lin Xiuyi got up and planned to go to the checkout, but Li Fan refused Lin Xiuyi's payment on the grounds that he had a member here and could get more discounts. After returning from the bill, Li Fan and Catherine sent Lin Shuichi and Akemi out of the store again......

Seeing that the man he used to admire has a loved one, he has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards his passion. Li Fan's heart is still a little sad. Just when everyone was about to separate, Li Fan said to Lin Xiuyi with a little reluctance:

"I'm so happy to see Shuichi-kun and Akemi-chan tonight, in fact, I just came back from abroad, and I'm currently staying with Ekaterina in a hotel near here, and if you have the opportunity in the future, I hope you can keep in touch often, huh...... This is the chocolate we tasted just now, and it would be a shame that Akemi-chan hadn't tasted it due to physical reasons, so ...... You're welcome!"

As he spoke, Li Fan smiled hard and took out a small Hermes packaging bag from his handbag and gave it to Akemi, who looked at the enthusiastic Li Fan with some surprise, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of her rude behavior just now.

"That...... I'm really sorry! Actually, I didn't wear a mask all the time because I was sick today!"

"Huh?"

Hearing that Akemi suddenly apologized to herself, Li Fan suddenly felt very surprised.
