A large trade mall that took years to complete, the Six Heavenly Horse Mall covers an extremely large area. Viewed from above, the building is in the shape of a hollowed-out oval. Standing between the buildings, you can just look up and see the sky, the sun and the birds.

As for the interior of the shopping mall, it is a magnificent scene. Shops are lined up and tourists come and go.

Since the stores they were going to go to were circled on the map in advance, and based on the principle of proximity, Xia Yu and Megumi Kato decided to start sweeping from the second floor of the mall. The two took the escalator all the way up and entered a women's fashion store.

This is a clothing store that Keita Kato wanted to visit earlier. She heard from her classmates that the clothes here are very good-looking, the quality is not low, and the price is very affordable.

Under normal circumstances, it is not convenient for Xia You, as a man, to enter this kind of store. After all, it's all about women's clothing. But it didn't matter when I had a female companion, Megumi Kato, by my side, so I simply went in with her.

Under the warm introduction of the store manager, Megumi Kato began to choose clothes slowly. Xia You sat idly on the side, took out his mobile phone and played the game, otherwise he would be in a daze.

In short, he is doing these things like Kato...... Oh no, live like a passerby.

"Now, classmate Xia You, which of these two sweaters do you think looks good?"

At this time, accompanied by a refreshing fragrant breeze, Megumi Kato's soft voice with a little inquiry called Xia You back to reality. He raised his eyebrows and saw that Megumi Kato was close to him with a sweater in each hand.

The sweater she holds in her left hand is light blue, and her right hand is purple.

"I prefer the one on the right in terms of color. But in terms of style, I prefer the one on the left. ”

Looking back and forth at the two sweaters, Megumi Kato said with a little distress. Then she blinked, and a glance of seeking advice fell on Xia You.

"Na, classmate Xia You, which sweater do you think looks better?Ah, just say what you really think~ Don't worry about anything. I just want to refer to your opinion, Mr. Xia You. ”

"Hmm...... Well, let's make this one blue. ”

After staring at it scrutinically for a while, Xia You gave his opinion. He prefers the blue of the washed sky to purple.

In addition, as Megumi Kato said, the style of this blue sweater is really good, it is simple and elegant. In comparison, the purple one on the right is too bells and whistles, and it is too different from the watery and gentle look of Megumi Kato.

After giving his opinion in summary, even Xia You couldn't help but want to praise himself.

Heck, it seems that my taste has indeed improved quite a bit. It's no longer the cute house that used to be rustic and always wear only jeans + white shirts when going out.

All of this is thanks to the influence of his own precious sister, Ayase Aragaki classmate. Thanks to the fact that she usually pulls Xia You out from time to time, or reads fashion magazines together, his taste has skyrocketed.

"That's it, then we have the same opinion~ Actually, I also think this blue sweater looks better. ”

Nodding slightly, Megumi Kato said in a slightly happy tone. Then she handed the purple sweater back to the store manager, and nodded slightly that it was no longer needed.

Then she turned her head and smiled at Xia You, shaking the light blue sweater she was holding in her hand to sign.

"Then classmate Xia You-let me go to the dressing room to change this dress? If it's okay, you can help me pick out any other beautiful clothes~"

After speaking, without waiting for Xia Yu to answer, Megumi Kato turned around and flicked his ponytail into the locker room, and then closed the door curtain. Her movements are light and bright, like a nestling fluttering in the sky.

And this is not the same as the passer-by who Xia You is familiar with, who is always as indifferent and casual as ever.

However, it is the difference that is good.

Because it's different, it means that Megumi Kato is really enjoying this shopping.

In this way, Xia You is worth the trip.

"Sir, your girlfriend is such a nice girl. Not only is it very cute, but you can tell that she likes you a lot. ”

Seeing Megumi Kato walk into the locker room to change clothes, and no new customers entered the store for a while, the female store manager took the initiative to talk to Xia You.

But her words made Xia You's heart feel a little subtle. Although he knew that going in and out of this kind of clothing store with Megumi Kato would be considered a couple nine times out of ten, he was still dumbfounded when he was said to his face like this, and he didn't know how to reply.

And Xia You's reaction also made the store manager a little puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that I guessed wrong, the two of them are not a couple? But she felt unlikely.

The experience of opening a clothing store for many years to receive all kinds of customers has made her very good at looking at people.

For example, when the girl took the clothes to him and asked him for his opinion, although she said that it was only for reference, after receiving a response, she did not hesitate to choose the dress he said.

It's all like this, if the girl doesn't like the other party, she really doesn't believe it.

However, Xia You has been silent, which makes her gradually doubt her judgment. Just as she was about to talk again, she finally heard a response.

It was soft, but firm.

"Well, she's always been a good girl. I love it. ”

…

- I like Megumi Kato very much

This is Xia You's conclusion after thinking about it.

Or rather, the conclusion was made long before the thought was made. So he replied to the female store manager.

However, after replying, Xia You couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his stomach. Especially when I think of Mahime, and Ayase, it will throb even more.

Well, this is probably the dbuff that comes with admitting that you are a scumbag.

But it hurts, it hurts. Now, Xia You has made up his mind that he will no longer hesitate to embark on a path of harem Shura with a future full of thorns. For this, even if he suffers some pain, he will not give up.

Of course, he is not without confidence. Considering that there is the support of the Xia family behind it, the problem of opening a harem is actually not big.

After all, money is everything.

Money can really do whatever you want.

It's just that...... The question is how to get the women to accept this fact and keep it balanced.

Yes, balanced.

Lu Xun once said: "Those who are in the field of husband and Shura do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness." ”

If you don't control the balance, a happy harem ending is likely to turn into the end of the firewood knife, so it is necessary to think about it.

Oh, and also, opening a harem is also a very serious problem.

Looks like we're going to have to work out next. ’

Xia You thought so in his heart. But there's no rush right now, and you can wait until you get home.

Then he began to wander around the store. According to what Megumi Kato just commissioned, help her choose some beautiful clothes to come out.

"Miss store manager, please help me get that shirt. Oh, and that red skirt too. ”

"Okay. ”

The store manager nodded with a smile on his face.

Gossiping about customers who come to buy things is one of the great pleasures of her life. But if you want to talk about the greatest fun, it is naturally to watch your clothes sell to make money.

…

Soon, Megumi Kato changed her clothes and walked out of the locker room.

As Xia You imagined, the light blue sweater looked very good on her, pure and elegant. So he handed over the skirt and shirt he had just picked over and asked her to try them on again.

In this regard, Kato Megumi nodded happily and agreed.

It is the nature of girls to love beauty and like to wear all kinds of clothes to become more beautiful. This is not exempt even for a girl who loves a plant-like ordinary life, Miss Megumi Kato.

After some selection and try-on, Megumi Kato finally bought the blue sweater and the red skirt. As for the shirt, although she was also a little tempted, she still didn't buy it. After all, there is a budget for this trip.

If you buy too many things in one sitting, you won't be able to buy what you like when you go to other stores.

Although Xia You said that he wanted to buy it for her, he considered that Megumi Kato would definitely not agree, so he just thought about it and didn't speak.

If the relationship goes any further, it will probably be given to her as a gift.

"I've kept you waiting, Xia You. ”

After paying the bill, Megumi Kato walked out of the store briskly with a bag and said with a slightly apologetic face.

Xia You didn't care about this, anyway, he didn't wait long. After noticing the bag that Megumi Kato was holding, he reached out and motioned for her to hand it over for him to pick it up.

"Give it to me. ”

"Hmm. ”

Megumi Kato pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded submissively, then slowly reached out her hand.

It's just that...... Instead of the hand holding the bag, she stretched out her other hand. Then it was placed on Xia You's palm.

After all, one is a boy and the other is a girl's hand, and their physique is naturally very different. In contrast, Megumi Kato's palms appear white and delicate, and they are very warm when they are not yet held.

"Kato, you're ......"

Xia You was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked with a slight hesitation. Although he knew that Megumi Kato had always been a girl who didn't play according to the routine, he still didn't expect her to suddenly make such a move.

In this regard, Megumi Kato said naturally: "Didn't you tell me about it, classmate Xia You? There are a lot of people here, tell me not to get separated." ”

“…… If you hold hands, you won't be separated, will you?"

She tilted her head, and a stream of green silk was like water.

You make so much sense that I almost believed it.

Although I want to complain a little, Xia You is not a light male protagonist who does not know customs. After only a moment's pause, he grabbed the soft and smooth hand with his backhand.

The touch from the palm of the hand is so soft and smooth, as if it is boneless. At the same time, it is so petite that it can be held tightly in the palm of your hand.

"That'...... Don't just let go of your hand. ”

"Hmm...... As long as Xia You can hold me well. ”

…

After visiting the first store, the two of them carried out their shopping actions in an orderly manner, leaning on the map, and walking towards the second and third stores in turn.

During this period, Xia You faithfully fulfilled his responsibilities as a porter, and basically carried the clothes he bought. Of course, Megumi Kato will also help share some of the burden.

By the way, the two held hands almost the whole time.

Natsuyo would occasionally help Megumi Kato pick out a few dresses and skirts, and then let her try them on. At this point, he finally understood why he usually went out with Ayase, and the child always said that he was happy to help him pick out clothes and try them on.

Indeed, it's rewarding to watch the other person put on their own clothes and then walk out of the locker room and admire them.

It's like playing a dress-up game.

Due to the clear route and high efficiency, in less than a morning, the two of them almost finished visiting all the places they wanted to visit.

During this period, Xia You also went to a bookstore to buy several copies to take home to read and recharge. As a general reader, he has never set the genre, as long as it is interesting, he will watch anything.

"In this way, we are all done with the last store. Then let's go to lunch together. ”

After holding a pen and ticking off the shops that have already been on the map, Megumi Kato said with a slight smile. There was a faint sense of satisfaction in his calm and indifferent tone.

"Anyway, what do you want to go to this store to sell, Xia You, is it still a bookstore?"

"You'll know when you go. ”

Xia Yu deliberately sold a pass, and then he took Megumi Kato's hand and walked forward.

Three minutes later—

"Hey, Xia You, this is ......"

Standing in front of the store, looking at the products displayed in the glass window, Megumi Kato immediately understood what this store was selling. It's just that she inevitably looked at Xia You with some surprise.

Those watery soft eyes blinked and looked quite surprised.

"Let's go in first. ”

Xia You smiled and didn't rush to explain anything. He was the first to push the door open and walked in. Seeing this, Megumi Kato followed suit.

Seeing that a customer came to the door, the clerk quickly greeted him with a business-style smile. After Xia You said his request, he led the two to a corner of the store in front of the product shelf, and then quietly stepped aside to wait for them to choose.

"Ah, that's supposed to be it, right?"

Xia You glanced at the commodity shelves in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he locked on the top layer and took it down.

It was a small beret, just enough to hold in your hand, and its color was as white as a snowflake, as if to symbolize purity.

This is what Xia You wants to buy the most today.

In fact, as early as the morning, when she learned that Megumi Kato's beret was given to someone else, Xia You decided to buy one for her. So while on the tram, he took the time to google the store that specializes in hats.

Luckily, there happens to be a branch in the Six Heavenly Horse Mall, otherwise I would have to wait until I buy it somewhere else.

With a hat in his hand and a pause, Natsuyu turned to face Megumi Kato. Although he was a little nervous, he tried not to look away, and looked at the girl in front of him.

And Megumi Kato is the same, she didn't avoid it or stagger, and looked at the boy in front of her seriously.

The eyes of the two were swaying and radiant.

"Kato, this is a return gift for you...... Do you remember? When we first came here, you gave me a pair of glasses. I didn't thank you at the time. And you're always helping me. As... If you don't mind, please take it. ”

To be honest, when he said these words, Xia You was really embarrassed. It's okay not to stumble.

In his impression, apart from Ayase, it seems that this is the first time he has given a gift to a girl seriously.

"Well, thank you......"

Megumi Kato took the hat in both hands and held it in his arms.

Because she lowered her head slightly and buried her face in her hat, Xia Yu couldn't see what Megumi Kato's expression was at the moment. I could only faintly see the blush slowly rising on her cheeks.

…

(Well, this chapter, although it's not the peak, it feels like it should be a little high, right?

(It's just that as the saying goes—dating is just foreplay, and it's all about what you do after the date...... Ah, but when I think about it like this, I can't wait to cross into Xia You QQ immediately)

(Anyway, I've been in a state of confusion lately - why is my writing so bad...... The more I write, the more dissatisfied I am with QQ)
