I refuse to be a plagiarist

[I think this kind of situation shouldn't be shown up, right?!]

Due to the influence of living environment, family and parents, everyone has his or her own different regrets during the growing childhood.

Hayasaka Ai is no exception.

In addition to the high-intensity work on weekdays and the environment where she needs to wear a mask to survive, what may make this girl resentful is probably the separation from her mother.

Speaking of this, Hasegawa once made a fool of himself in the beginning.

Perhaps it was because he had read too many Chinese online novels in the early years, when he learned that Hayasaka Ai was raised in a large family, he immediately thought of something like an orphanage or Deadpool that existed in ancient times or in fictional works, and he labeled this little friend an "orphan".

It was not until the other party mentioned his mother one last time that he realized his wrong perception and then changed the label he had attached to the other party in his mind.

After that, through some casual details in their casual chat, he gradually realized that beneath the cold appearance of the girl, she actually had a deep attachment to her mother.

Although the degree may be a bit exaggerated, considering the great and warm existence of a mother, Hasegawa did not feel that there was anything wrong.

But it is precisely because of this that he becomes hesitant when faced with Hayasaka Ai's invitation.

"Hayasaka, you finally get together with your aunt, but adding a 'third party' like me, isn't that a little inappropriate?"

“Don’t worry about that.

It was actually my mother who took the initiative to ask me to get to know you.

You know, among my friends, it is rare for her to take the initiative to ask for a meeting.

If there is no other reason, you must be there tomorrow."

There is a little bit of complaining, but also a little bit of expectation to show off.

To Hasegawa at this moment, the emotions contained in the girl's words seemed a little too intense and complicated compared to what she usually expressed.

[It seems that I have no choice but to go this time.......]

I sighed silently in my heart.

To be honest, deep down, he is not used to getting along with “elders”, especially “friends’ elders”.

However, since Aunt Hayasaka has clearly stated this request, as Hayasaka Ai's friend, it would not be easy for me to just run away.

Regardless of what the consequences will be, this will at least give people a feeling that it is not reliable.

Naturally, Hasegawa Hide could not accept this kind of ending.

Although it is not clear what the girl said about herself in front of her mother, judging from her tone just now, it is at least certain that it was not a bad description.

His manly pride prevented him from going with the flow on such matters.

Therefore, facing the invitation tomorrow, he must adjust his state in time and meet the elusive Aunt Hayasaka in a relatively perfect posture.

"Ah~

But if that’s the case, I won’t be able to stay in bed tomorrow.”

He looked up at the clock on the wall.

Everything has a price.

Just like the power of the warlocks in the Warcraft continent, it often requires the sacrifice of life and honor as corresponding chips.

Find the clothes you need for going out tomorrow in your closet in advance.

After finding it, Hasegawa walked into the bathroom and prepared to take a quick shower before the takeaway deliveryman arrived.

He had originally planned to practice Taoism and play games with Ishigami Boy tonight.

Since I have other plans, I have to make another appointment at another time...

Chapter 111: When you first meet someone, you should always have something in your hand

"If it's the first time we meet, should we prepare a gift or something?..."

He was rummaging around in his room, mumbling something.

This phenomenon can be regarded as a subconscious choice made by contemporary young people in China when visiting their elders.

It's not any special treatment.

Just like when he first visited the Baiyin family, the yet-to-be-made Hasegawa Hide gave the other party two bottles of Feitian Moutai and a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes as a gift for their first meeting.

Although I don't know if it suits the other party's preferences, but judging from my friend's later description, the uncle who likes to come out from time to time to talk about his life experience should be quite happy.

Traditional gifts are nothing more than cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea.

But when it comes to a certain level of detail, especially when it comes to giving gifts to female elders, this is indeed a difficult problem that deserves careful consideration for Hasegawa Hide.

【Given the environment the other party is exposed to, all the rich and expensive things should be commonplace.】

[In this case, instead of deliberately making something messy, it is better to change another angle. ]

Thinking seriously.

Perhaps he really tried to prepare this gift for their first meeting with all his heart. After some thought, he actually thought of something interesting.

——Pendant.

The seemingly ordinary pendant can be placed casually in various inconspicuous corners, such as mobile phones, handbags, or even wrists and necks.

and........

[Since they are a mother and a daughter, then good things come in pairs, so why not just pair them up. ]

He muttered to himself as he walked out of the room with his cell phone in his pocket.

After taking a shower and eating to replenish his energy, he has shaken off his previous decadence and turned into a positive and energetic young man again.

The evening breeze blew through my hair, which was still slightly damp.

When passing by a store that looked like a boutique, Hasegawa walked in as if possessed, and started browsing the shelves filled with goods.

【oh?!】

[It seems.....I saw something very good. ]

The continuous progress finally stopped.

In front of a shelf, he saw a string of red panda pendants hanging in the corner.

Wow, GunGun, isn’t this a national treasure?

It was probably because of your stupid mount that Chi You was defeated by Emperor Huang.

As a symbol of international friendship, the Chinese government is very fond of sending this magical species abroad and then charging a certain amount of breeding fees every year.

Leaving aside other places for now, this round creature is still quite popular in the hearts of the Japanese people.

But think about it.

The iron-eating beast has now become a shut-in who doesn't want to work hard. Few people would not be moved by his adorable appearance.

Now that I have seen the related peripheral products, it should be a good choice to use them as gifts when we meet tomorrow.

I picked up two "Hanhan"s, one big and one small, from the shelf.

Although I don't know what material it is, it feels pretty good when I rub it in my hand.

Hasegawa was prompted to take it off the shelf.

But when he saw the price, he couldn't help but pause slightly and secretly complain in his heart.

[Such a small thing costs 30,000 yen...]

Although it is no longer a pressure for him now, when he saw the price, Hasegawa Hide couldn't help but complain about the crazy premium of "imported goods".

But that's nothing.

After all, even in China, the prices of Tiehanhan’s surrounding areas have always been high, and the special sales at scenic spots are even more outrageous.

He swore that he really didn't know what Bing Dwen Dwen was, nor did he know about the crime of "speculation and profiteering"...

"Hello Miss, could you please help me pack these two?

I'm going to give it to a friend tomorrow, and it might not be nice to just take it, so...haha."

He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

In terms of packaging, although he has some simple skills, it is still a little lacking compared to professional players.

The saleslady smiled at his request with understanding, and then started packing.

"Is this for your girlfriend?"

"Um.......

No, it's for a friend and her mother."

“Hehe…Is that so?”

The curved eyelashes reveal a beautiful smile.

However, from the tone of the shop assistant, Hasegawa Hide always felt a strange feeling, as if the other party was secretly teasing him about something.

[Maybe I'm overthinking it. ]

After all, this was the first time for me to come to this store. We met by chance and we only chatted for a few words from beginning to end.

However, as a shop assistant, it may not be a good thing to suddenly show personal emotions to customers.

After all... not everyone has the leisure to chat with a stranger.

"Okay, guest.

Do you think this is okay?"

The small gift box was placed on the table by the shop assistant.

Although they are just some ordinary materials, after being processed by the other party, they do not look cheap at all, but rather have an indescribable exquisiteness.

"Thank you!

Although I don't have much confidence, but with your help, I think they won't be disgusted at least."

He praised the other person's craftsmanship in a pretentious manner.

From Hasegawa's own point of view, if he were to design it from scratch, even if he were to find a ready-made video online and copy it, it would never be as user-friendly as the one made by the shop assistant in front of him.

That’s right, it’s close to the people.

There are no fancy decorations, nor dazzling luxury, but it is just pleasing to the eye.

that's enough.

After paying, I walked towards the store door with my bag, very satisfied.

Now that I have achieved my goal, the natural thing to do now is to go home and have a good rest.

However, just as Hasegawa Hide had just taken one step forward, the voices of the two shop assistants behind him made him stunned.

——Xiao Qing, what did the customer just buy?

Seeing that you two have been chatting for such a long time, I wonder if he is trying to strike up a conversation with you.

——Hehe...where can I find that?

It seems that a student who lives nearby just took two pendants of Mr. Panda from us.

It looks like these are small gifts prepared for his girlfriend and her mother.

"........."

[A great little gift for my girlfriend and future mother-in-law! ]

She pursed her lips lightly.

Although it is quite fun to joke about things behind the back with friends, it is a bit...

[Isn't this a bit inappropriate? ]

Chapter 112: You call this "Auntie"?

[Hey... these two are really something. ]

He shook his head unhappily.
