I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

Hoshino Ai took the note, opened it, and read it softly, memorizing the numbers on it over and over again.

She read for a while without looking at the note, reciting silently, but she forgot the numbers after reciting a few.

"What a trouble... My memory is still not good enough..." Hoshino Ai tried to memorize for a few minutes, but always got one or two numbers wrong when she was reciting silently, so she looked at Saito Hiko.

"So didn't I write it down for you?... As long as the note is not lost, just take some time to memorize it after you go back." Saito Hiko replied after hearing Hoshino Ai's complaint.

"But I'm afraid that if we get separated, and then I get confused and lose the note... then today has to end." Hoshino Ai replied.

I emphasized twice that I couldn't remember it, and was afraid that the note would be lost by coincidence and I wouldn't be able to contact him. It was such an obvious statement, he should have understood my hint, right?

She looked at Saito Hiko with hope.

Saito Hiko knew that Hoshino Ai had a poor memory, and he hadn't thought about the meaning of the current conversation, so he casually said again: "Can't you just put the note in your wallet?"

"Really!"

Hoshino Ai saw that Saito Hiko didn't understand her hint and could only get angry inwardly.

Although she has a bad memory and gets confused, she wouldn't even lose the note.

After saying these two words that belittled herself, wasn't she just trying to make him take the initiative to hold her hand again?

Unfortunately, Saito Hiko didn't understand what Hoshino Ai was thinking. He had just been rejected, and he didn't expect that after he wrote her his phone number, she would change her mind... and this was because of her poor memory...

Saito Hiko was puzzled by Hoshino Ai's sudden anger and had no idea what to do. He could only ask, "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Baga (idiot)!" Hoshino Ai didn't explain, but just cursed.

Saito Hiko was confused and felt strange being scolded, but it would take too much time to just stand there. After coming out of the clothing store, the sky was a little darker than before.

"It seems that the weather forecast is still very accurate," Saito Yan felt that it was really going to rain, and urged Hoshino Ai to walk faster, "Let's go to the next store quickly, otherwise it will rain and we won't be able to go shopping."

"Okay~ Baka (idiot)~" Hoshino Ai directly shouted the word "idiot" to Saito Hiko.

Saito Hiko suddenly felt even more confused when he heard Hoshino Ai calling him an idiot, because he didn't do anything stupid.

But when I heard her calling me "idiot", it didn't seem offensive at all, so I just pretended I didn't hear it.

Saito Hiko continued walking forward. The crowd around him surged, forcing him to look back at Hoshino Ai from time to time to prevent her from suddenly disappearing.

"I'll always follow you. No need to look back so often."

Saito Hiko kept looking back every few seconds or even tens of seconds, forcing Hoshino Ai to speak out.

After hearing this, Saito Yan stood there waiting for Hoshino Ai to approach, then grabbed her hand and said, "Since you think it's not good for me to look back so often, let's do this."

Hoshino Ai felt her hand suddenly grabbed, her body stiffened, but soon relaxed and held Saito Hiko's hand in return.

Saito Hiko did not notice the changes in Hoshino Ai's body and was surprised that she took the initiative to hold back.

But he didn't think much about it and took her into a women's clothing store on the roadside.

"welcome."

After the two walked in, they heard a female voice greeting them, but this time no clerk came to greet them.

Saito Hiko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The female clerk just now was so enthusiastic. If it weren't for Hoshino Ai staying by his side, he would have wanted to turn around and leave.

"You seem dissatisfied with other people's recommendations. Why don't you choose for yourself?" Saito Hiko let go of Hoshino Ai's hand after walking into the store.

Hoshino Ai nodded.

She first looks at the price tags in the store and then chooses from the cheaper ones.

Finally she found a black long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of black casual pants.

"The outfit you chose now is no different from what you are wearing." Saito Hiko complained when he saw the outfit chosen by Hoshino Ai.

"What do you care what I choose?" Hoshino Ai ignored Saito Hiko's complaints and walked towards the fitting room with the clothes.

"It's a rare opportunity to go shopping, why don't you at least try some dresses or skirts? It would be too boring if you just choose a T-shirt and trousers." Saito Hiko tried to influence Hoshino Ai, "Are you thinking about leaving right after you buy something?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Hoshino Ai replied.

She didn't want to say that she was short of money. If she tried on a dress she liked but couldn't buy it, it would only make her feel worse.

Especially the dresses are quite expensive.

When Saito Hiko heard Hoshino Ai's answer, he couldn't help but recall that the female clerk had just selected clothes for Hoshino Ai to try on, and that she herself had looked at the prices and brands when selecting clothes.

The price...

Saito Hiko was helpless in dealing with this very realistic problem.

If he paid for the purchase, he was worried that there would be problems in the relationship between the two of them, after all, they were just ordinary friends.

Saito Hiko guessed the reason and felt that this might be it, so when Hoshino Ai was changing clothes in the fitting room, he found a skirt in the store that was not too expensive but felt good and picked it up.

When Hoshino Ai came out after changing her clothes, she said to her, "Try this dress. I think it will look good on you."

Saito Hiko deliberately placed the price sign within Hoshino Ai's sight.

When Hoshino Ai saw the skirt in Saito Hiko's hand, the price on the tag was 4,999 yen. She hesitated for a while before deciding to give it a try.

But before trying on the skirt, she asked Saito Yan, "How do you like this one now?"

"Hmm... just ordinary." Saito Yan considered his words and continued, "This outfit is a bit like an invisibility cloak. When you put it on, it covers up your beauty."

"It's a seal of beauty!" Saito Hiko added.

"Is your appearance sealed..." Hoshino Ai felt a little unhappy when she heard this. She usually wears something similar to this outfit.

I always feel like Saito Hiko is saying that her fashion sense is not good.

"Then I'll try on the skirt you chose." Hoshino Ai decided to try on the skirt he chose and see what he would say.

Saito Hiko handed the dress and the hanger to Hoshino Ai.

After Hoshino Ai took the skirt, she pulled the curtain of the fitting room.

Then the sound of changing clothes came from inside.

Listening to the sound of changing clothes, Saito Hiko felt a little embarrassed and had to quietly move away from the fitting room.

However, he had just retreated a good distance.

"clang clang?" Hoshino Ai suddenly pulled open the curtain of the fitting room. Just as she was about to ask Saito Hiko's opinion, she saw him step away a few steps.

"What are you doing?" She didn't understand why Saito Hiko was away from the fitting room, and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little short of breathing and want to go out for some fresh air." Saito Hiko concealed the embarrassment in his heart.

Hoshino Ai didn't hesitate, she stood up straight with her hands behind her back and asked Saito Yan directly: "How is it?"

Chapter 43 Choice

"Not bad." Saito Hiko gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

Hoshino Ai frowned, "Just not bad?"

This was not what she thought. If it was just this level, there was no need to buy it.

"At least it looks better than the one you just chose." Saito Hiko replied calmly.

Hoshino Ai turned around in place, letting the edge of her skirt swing up a little, then stopped and asked again: "What do you think now?"

"You look very... good now..." Saito Yan thought the way Hoshino Ai spun around in this skirt was particularly beautiful, and he couldn't help but blurt out a compliment, but he still tried to suppress his excitement and said calmly: "Very... good... not bad."

"If it's just okay, then forget it." Hoshino Ai didn't hear the compliment and gave up the idea of ​​buying it after a while. She pulled the curtain back to cover it, started changing clothes, and prepared to end this shopping trip.

"call..."

With his vision blocked, Saito Hiko let out a long sigh.

If she stayed a little longer, or turned around a little more, it would be difficult for him to say something like "normal" against his will.

Although I didn't keep my wits about me just now, I almost blurted it out.

Hoshino Ai quickly changed back into the clothes she wore when the two met. She took the checkout line holding a black T-shirt and black trousers in her hands.

At this time, she was angry that Saito Hiko had just asked her to change into a skirt, but did not praise it. As she walked out alone and passed by Saito Hiko, she cursed, "Baga (idiot)."

I didn’t pay any attention to Saito Hiko anymore after that.

Saito Hiko ignored Hoshino Ai's whispered curses, quickly walked into the fitting room, folded the skirt, put it behind him, and took it to check out.

"Chenghui, the total is three thousand yen." The clerk said to Hoshino Ai with a smile after settling the price of the clothes.

Hoshino Ai took out a 10,000 yen bill from her wallet and handed it over.

"I'll take 10,000 yen and give you 7,000 yen in change." The clerk respectfully found the coins on the cash register and then respectfully presented them to Hoshino Ai with both hands.

Saito Hiko slowly walked over after Hoshino Ai completed the settlement.

Hoshino Ai walked to the door sulking, creating the atmosphere as if she was leaving in a rage.

But in fact, she had not left the vicinity of this store, and even just now she was thinking, if Yanjun...

Saito Hiko saw Hoshino Ai leaving in a hurry.

He quickly ran to the counter, put down the clothes behind him, and asked the clerk to start checking out.

Saitohiko took out 10,000 yen and put the bill down: "Hurry up, send the clothes to this address after you calculate it."

Saito Hiko took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, found the place he was going to today, put down the 10,000 yen and the banknotes, and then added the time with a pen.

Then he immediately chased after him.

He was worried that Hoshino Ai, who was in a bad mood, would go home directly.

However, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Hoshino Ai standing outside the door.

"I thought you would go back first." Saito Hiko breathed a sigh of relief.

If, while preparing a gift, Hoshino Ai becomes unhappy and leaves, then we would be losing the big picture for the small.

"No, I said I won't leave you alone." Hoshino Ai leaned against the wall and said to Saito Hiko.

"You say that like you're confessing your love." Saito Hiko teased casually.

"Confession? This is your illusion." Hoshino Ai quickly denied it and went to the tram tea station. "Let's go. We have finished shopping and let's go back quickly."

"You've finally come out for this trip, why are you in such a hurry to end and go home?" Saito Hiko tried to dissuade Hoshino Ai from going home so soon.

Saito Hiko wanted to wait until the clothes were packed and then take Hoshino Ai to pick them up together, as she would definitely be shocked and surprised when she saw them.
