“Where are we going next?” After coming out of Haidilao, Denia asked Kather about their next destination.
“That depends on whether you want to buy a phone first or clothes first,” Kather said, indicating that he would go along with whatever Denia wanted.
“Let’s check out phones first.
I’m quite curious to see what’s different about the phones in this world.” The elevator descended, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the bottom floor.
After walking a short distance to the left after stepping out, they spotted a phone store not far away.
When they walked into the phone store, the male receptionist on duty was yawning sleepily.
“Hello, we’re here to pick out a phone,” Kather greeted him politely.
The male receptionist shuddered, looking at Kather in front of him, and then at Denia beside him, shuddering once more.
Then, as expected, the receptionist also asked to take a photo with Denia to add to his collection, and Kather naturally granted his small request as well.
“By the way, what kind of phone are you two looking for?” After taking the photo, the receptionist didn’t forget his duties and took the initiative to ask about their needs.
“How about you pick one for us?” Kather tossed the question back to the receptionist.
“Sure, no problem!
Leave it to me, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!” The receptionist was in a wonderful mood.
He patted his chest, determined to choose a phone that would suit Denia’s tastes perfectly.
…
“It doesn’t seem any different from the phones at the academy?” Denia played with the newly bought phone, unlocking it back and forth a few times without finding any fundamental difference.
“But the design is quite nice.
I like it.” “There really isn’t much difference.
The functions are about the same, so you should get the hang of it quickly,” Kather smiled.
“Now, it’s time to go pick out some clothes.” The elevator went up to the third floor, which was entirely filled with clothing stores—suits, children’s wear, casual wear, and even Lolita fashion and traditional historical costumes.
“Do you want me to buy you a couple of children’s outfits to wear?” Kather gestured with his chin toward a children’s clothing store.
“I bet they’d fit you perfectly.” “Are you out of your mind?” Denia’s face was covered in dark lines.
“Just kidding.
Let’s go to a women’s clothing store first.
We need to buy you some everyday clothes.” Kather pulled Denia along to a women’s clothing store.
As soon as they entered, they were warmly greeted by a female sales assistant.
Although the sales assistant rarely interacted with ACG culture, she could tell at a glance that this couple had an extraordinary aura.
The tall boy had sharp, well-defined features and looked truly handsome, with a hint of subtle tenderness in his eyes.
Although his long, messy hair was one of his few drawbacks, it didn’t stop him from being a good-looking guy.
The girl was on the petite side, but her curvaceous figure and exquisitely beautiful face completely made up for her height.
Combined with a faint, delicate air of vulnerability, it made people instinctively want to protect her.
“Hello, how can I help you?” The sales assistant put on a professional smile and began to attend to these two VIP guests.
“Please help her pick out a couple of suitable outfits,” Kather requested with a smile of his own.
“Your girlfriend is so beautiful, she’ll definitely look great in anything,” the assistant giggled.
G-Girlfriend?
Denia blushed quietly where Kather couldn’t see.
(Wait, sister, you guys are already walking arm-in-arm, and only now are you realizing this?) The assistant quickly led Denia into the inner section of the clothing store to pick out clothes.
Kather sat outside the fitting room, watching Denia and the assistant take the clothes inside to try them on.
…
“This one is nice.” “This one…
looks a bit weird.
Let’s try another one?” “This is great.
I really like this one.” Denia tried on over a dozen outfits in a row, and Kather carefully gave his feedback on each one.
However, if he had to pick his absolute favorite, Kather felt it would be the combination of the camisole and athletic shorts.
Not only did Denia find this outfit comfortable, but Kather also found it highly alluring.
Large patches of her snowy, smooth skin were exposed, leaving much to the imagination.
Her sleek thighs and delicate feet were definitely a blessing for foot-fetishists.
Fortunately, Denia would only wear this outfit at home.
If she wore it outside, who knew how many ‘Xiao Chunans’ would have their souls stolen away.
(Aren’t you a Xiao Chunan yourself?
(￢_￢)) Finally, they reached the last fitting.
This time, Denia was wearing a Hanfu.
The snowy white waistband perfectly outlined the girl’s slender, graceful figure, and a glimpse of her calf was faintly visible beneath the silk-like hemline.
Combined with her already exquisite features, she had the kind of beauty that could bring down nations.
Kather now understood why ancient emperors would neglect state affairs when they met peerless beauties.
If it were him, he wouldn’t be able to control himself either.
He would want nothing more than to stay in the imperial harem all day, pampering the beauty.
The saying, ‘From then on, the emperor no longer attended the morning court,’ probably referred to exactly this kind of situation.
Denia herself seemed to really like this outfit too, as evidenced by the smile on her face.
But when it came time to pay, Kather didn’t see that outfit.
“I looked at the price of that outfit.
It’s very expensive.
It’s better not to make you spend too much.” Denia noticed Kather’s confusion and took the initiative to explain.
Her expenses today were already high enough.
Although Denia didn’t have a clear concept of this world’s currency value yet, she knew that money was hard to earn.
That outfit was indeed beautiful, but she would feel terrible if she made Kather bleed cash just for her own preference.
She would save up and buy it herself after she could make money in the future.
“Do you want to pick out anything else?” Kather asked.
“No, just these.
It should be enough to wear,” Denia replied, holding the few outfits in her arms.
Then came the standard procedure: packaging and checking out.
“By the way, do you do custom orders here?” Kather asked the sales assistant during checkout.
“We do, but this is a branch store.
Custom orders have to be reported to our headquarters,” the assistant explained.
“Then I’ll pay half the deposit first.
Please help me customize that Hanfu from earlier.
Do you have pen and paper?
I’ll draw a rough sketch,” Kather requested.
Denia had already gone to wait at the entrance holding her clothes, which gave Kather the perfect opportunity to prepare a surprise for her.
About ten minutes later, Kather handed the completed sketch to the assistant.
The assistant looked at the sketch, and surprise instantly flashed in her eyes.
Although it was just a quick sketch, it was highly detailed, with certain aspects emphasized with notes.
It was clear how much care the owner of this sketch had put into this outfit.
“It seems he really loves his girlfriend,” the assistant thought to herself.
“I will send this sketch to our main store.
I’m sure we can make an outfit that will satisfy you,” the assistant said, carefully putting the sketch away and smiling at Kather.
“Then I’ll leave it in your hands.” After smiling and bidding farewell to the assistant, Kather walked out of the store.
At a glance, he saw Denia standing obediently by the entrance, holding her newly purchased clothes and waiting for him.
“A bit tired?” Kather walked around to face her, and lo and behold, she was actually dozing off while standing.
“Mmh…
Huh?
Oh…
you’re done,” Denia startled awake from her doze.
Seeing Kather in front of her, she said sleepily, “You’re right, I am a bit sleepy…” “Then let’s head back after buying some undergarments.” Kather walked around with Denia for a bit longer, buying some undergarments and snacks, before leaving the mall hand-in-hand with her.
The setting sun gently cast a golden glow over them, casting their slowly closing shadows onto the ground.
