“Aion has always been like the sun, illuminating me and helping me a lot, so I want to give Aion a gift.”

Without Aine, there would be no her today, Takamatsu Akari is absolutely certain of.

The metal tray on the display stand made a soft clattering sound as she lowered her head and slipped the white earring into Ai Yin's palm.

White pearls stretched out on the gilded chain, like stars scattered within it.

"No matter how many times I watch it, Aine is always perfect for this kind of dazzling thing."

Takamatsu Akari smiled.

Hello, would you like to try them on?

Just then, the shop owner, an elderly woman, appeared out of nowhere and handed over alcohol wipes with a smile. She looked at the two of them with such kindness, and Aine took the wipes from her hand.

"Since Tomorin has said so, then I'll accept it."

Chihaya Aine's face turned bright red, and she felt like she wasn't holding the cotton pad very firmly in her hand. She slowly picked up the silver needle and pierced it through her ear piercing.

“If it hurts, Aine should tell me… I brought a band-aid!” Takamatsu Akari replied.

"Pfft, who would put a Band-Aid on their ear piercing, tomorin?"

After completing the needle-threading task, Chihaya Aine chuckled, her slight nervousness instantly vanishing without a trace.

Tomorin is so cute!

"Ears can get injured just like other parts of the body, right? So they should need bandages too."

"Of course your ears will get hurt, but the way to care for them isn't by putting on a band-aid, you two."

The shop owner's mother-in-law listened to Gao Songdeng's speech and spoke with a smile.

"If your ear bleeds due to improper handling, the first thing to do is remove the earring."

"Then gently press the bleeding area with clean gauze or cotton balls for about five to ten minutes."

"The rest is just nursing with saline solution or something similar. If it gets serious, you'll need to go to the hospital."

"Is that so? I... I understand."

Listening to the shop owner's patient explanation,

Gao Songdeng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Had he almost been mistaken for a strange person again?

"It's alright, it's alright. I must say, these earrings really suit this student."

The shop owner turned to look at Aiyin, who was now wearing earrings and looked even prettier than before, attracting the attention of many customers in the shop.

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma. The jewelry you sell is really beautiful," Ai Yin said, blushing.

The shop owner glanced at Aine first, then at Takamatsu, her meaningful gaze shifting between the two. Then, as if she understood something, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Then you two can continue looking. If you need to try them on, just call me from inside the store."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

Chihaya Aine nodded and accepted the shop owner's kindness.

"Um, could Tomorin take a picture for me?"

"Photograph?"

"Yes, selfies don't look very good. Tomorin, would you be willing to help me?"

"As long as Aine doesn't mind, that's fine."

Taking photos of Aine? Takamatsu Akari had never considered this option before. But she seemed to have never taken photos of anyone before. Could she really do it?

"I believe in Tomorin, come on!"

The pink-haired girl deftly took out her phone from her pocket, gently pressed the shutter button, and then handed it to the bewildered Takamatsu Akira.

"By the way, Tomorin, you can't look at other photos in my gallery! That's forbidden!"

"I, I won't!" Gao Songdeng shouted as he assured him.

A cute phone appeared in my field of vision; it was Ai-yin's phone. A lovely and beautiful figure appeared on the screen; it was Ai-yin.

"Is this how it's filmed?"

Takamatsu slowly zoomed in on Aine's face on the phone, then pressed the button.

"Click." The phone made a sound indicating that the photo had been taken.

"let me see?"

Chihaya Aine quickly ran to Takamatsu Akari's side, her curious eyes fixed on the masterpiece that Tomorin had just photographed.

"Wow, it's a great shot! Tomorin!" The girl happily raised her phone.

"Really, really?"

As for photography skills, Takamatsu Akari felt that she was definitely clueless, but why was Aine praising her like this?

"Yes, of course it's true, that's why I said I believed in Tomorin, Tomorin has a talent for photography!"

"That's good, I can take more photos of Aine!"

"That's what Tomorin said, but before that..."

"Before this?" Takamatsu looked puzzled.

"Before that, of course I need to pick out earrings for Tomorin. I want to give Tomorin earrings too!"

Chihaya Aine felt she couldn't bring herself to give a gift without reciprocating!

Volume 2 continues my go!: Chapter 108: If you're going to buy something, buy a matching couple's set; if you're going to give a gift, give the same pair!

"You'll give me earrings too?"

"Yes, doesn't Tomorin want to become more beautiful?"

"Will wearing earrings or similar items make you prettier?" Takamatsu blinked, somewhat confused.

Although the jewelry was quite pretty, she wasn't really interested in earrings or anything like that. In fact, if Aine hadn't taken her into the jewelry store, she would never have entered such a place in her entire life.

However, since Aine said so, there must be some truth to it.

And... Ai-yin really does look even prettier with the white earrings on, Takamatsu thought.

"Tomorin, do you have any styles you like?"

"What style do you like? I really like all of these accessories."

Gao Songdeng scanned the rows of shelves, his eyes gleaming.

If you collect all these different kinds of decorations and bring them home, will your bedroom become brighter when you turn on the lights at night?

"Hmm, accessories are bought to wear, not to collect, tomorin!"

Just two seconds later, Chihaya Aine immediately understood the gray-haired girl's peculiar thought process.

"Besides, we're students, Tomorin. Where would we get the money to buy all the jewelry?"

She quickly interrupted Gao Songdeng's unrealistic fantasies.

"Then how should I choose? Ai Yin? I don't know much about her."

Takamatsu Akari finds the variety of outfits and accessories a bit troublesome, so at home, she has three identical penguin costumes, one to wear, one to change into, and one to have in reserve.

"Hmm, Tomorin doesn't seem very interested in these things. May I arrange it then?"

"It's too much of a stretch to expect such an eccentric girl to become a fashion icon," Chihaya Aine suggested with a smile.

"The earrings I picked out... Tomorin, you absolutely have to like them, or I'll be sad, okay?"

"I will never dislike the ones that Aine chooses!"

"I'm glad you said that, but what's most important is that you like it yourself!" Aine sighed helplessly.

After deciding to help Tomorin choose earrings, Chihaya Aine walked through the jewelry store, her silvery eyes scanning the jewelry on the counter, her lips pursed as if in deep thought.

What kind of earrings would be suitable for tomorin?

Bright colors definitely won't work, and multicolored ones aren't good either. For a cute and quiet girl like Tomorin, cool-toned earrings would be more suitable, right?

Tomorin may seem quiet and reserved on ordinary days, but he can unleash a powerful force that surpasses everyone else when it comes to crucial moments.

"Hey, that one over there looks pretty good, Tomorin!"

After wandering around the store several times, in a corner, Chihaya Aine finally found a pair of earrings that were perfect for Takamatsu Takamori!

"Even if it is hidden in the deep sea, once the clouds part and the sun shines, it will shine with the most dazzling light. That's what black pearls mean."

She smiled, picked up the earring, and then handed it to Takamatsu.

"Yes, I really like these earrings."

As Takamatsu Akari carefully took the earring from the pink-haired girl's hand, her eyes lit up.

"Really? I'm glad Tomorin likes it. Let's call the shop manager over now."

Five minutes later, the shop owner came to the two of them. When she learned that it was Takamatsu Teng who wanted to wear earrings, she showed a kind look in her eyes.

"These black pearl earrings? You two have good taste."

"Hehe, I picked it out for Tomorin, it's definitely perfect for Tomorin." Chihaya Aine smiled with satisfaction.

And then she will see Tomorin wearing earrings in front of her for the first time.

With her mother-in-law's professional help, Gao Songdeng nervously put on the black pearl earrings, while shyly glancing at the pink-clad girl not far away.

In Aine's eyes... does she look good now?

Takamatsu Akari walked lightly to Aine.

The fingers that gripped the hem of Haneoka's school uniform skirt rippled

Qi Qingbai, her small hands unconsciously fiddled with her black pearl earrings. Between her short gray hair, the two black pearls swayed with Takamatsu Todori's head movements, like dewdrops condensed in the dark night and falling on cherry blossom branches in spring, which was very beautiful.

"How is Aine?" Takamatsu asked, blushing.

"..."

“Aine?”

Seeing that Chihaya Aine was silent, Takamatsu Akari tilted her head in confusion.

"It really suits Tomorin, it looks especially good on her."

The pink-haired girl spoke calmly, but her heart was in turmoil, and she was trying her best to control her emotions!

"Oh no, oh no, Tomorin is just too cute!"

"That's really too much, Tomorin!"

Tomorin already has an attractive charm just by wearing her school uniform, and now she's only wearing an earring. If Tomorin dressed up a bit more, wouldn't she be even cuter?!

A daring idea formed in Chihaya Aine's mind: From now on, she would be heavily involved in Takamatsu Akari's fashion sense!

"Oh, right, this pair of earrings also has a Type II version. That's the last pair left. Would you two like to take a look?"

"Type II?"

Gao Songdeng looked suspicious. What did that mean?

"The shopkeeper probably means another polished version, right? Let's go take a look then," Aine explained.

Since this is my first time at Tomorin, I'll just buy more and get everything done in one go!

Following the shopkeeper's mother-in-law, the two arrived at the entrance of the jewelry store.

"Hey, why was this black pearl earring left by the door? Why didn't I notice it when I came in?"

A pair of dark earrings sat in an elegant display case, appearing particularly dull and lackluster among the other eye-catching styles around them.

"Is it because everyone is attracted by the colorfulness of the store? Although this earring is very... pretty, people seem to prefer the bright and vibrant ones."

After some thought, Takamatsu gave his answer.

Eye-catching fashion items are placed in more central locations in the store, while these two-piece black pearl earrings are placed unremarkably among the many accessories, making them hard to notice.
