I play love guru in Tokyo

Chapter 212
……

A stormy atmosphere enveloped Tokyo, and many passers-by were in a hurry, rarely staying on the streets.

Yichuan Liulixue trotted all the way, panting, the young and beautiful girl attracted many amazed eyes, and she pulled her skirt on her knees and thighs a little uncomfortably.

With neon lights flashing overhead, Yichuan Liulixue entered a shopping mall and hurriedly searched for it.

Watches, belts, perfumes, ties...

She searched for all the gifts that could be given to boys. Although she knew it was Bai Yuan's birthday a few days ago, she was busy with part-time jobs in hospitals and restaurants, and she couldn't find time. Now she complained that time was tight and she couldn't choose.

She still has 23450 yen in her pocket, of which 2 is the next living expenses, and only 3450 yen can be purchased, which is converted into RMB 200, but the two slightly better choices are more than this price.

So Yichuan Liulixue gave up the two gifts of {watch} and {perfume} with some disappointment.

After shopping on the third floor, she hurried to the fourth floor in small steps. Because it was not a weekend, there were not many people in the mall.

Ready to pick {belt} and {tie}
The price is suitable, but the appearance is too ordinary and cheap, and the girl who has a little inferiority complex in her heart never wants to give a cheap gift to her sweetheart, so she is not satisfied with the products placed in this ordinary supermarket.

Seeing that the time was approaching seven o'clock, Yichuan Liulixue was a little distressed, but she had no choice but to walk out of the shopping mall with empty hands, and rushed to Ginza, hoping to choose a suitable and tasteful gift there.

The street was crowded with people, and she didn't take a few steps in the bustling Ginza. She walked into a men's specialty store with some hesitation. The simple and elegant appearance gave her the illusion that the products in this store should be good and the price would not be too expensive. Not familiar with this brand.

The young shopping guide didn't greet her very warmly, with a polite smile on her face, maybe because she was a novice, but Yichuan Liulixue was not angry, and just whispered, "Let me take a look."

After walking around for a while, I saw ties with different patterns hanging in the cabinet.

Seeing this, the shopping guide walked over slowly, and introduced to her the selling points and advantages of his tie, as well as his professionalism.

Yichuan Liulixue looked at them carefully, and soon, she chose a plain hand-tied tie among many ties.

She felt that this tie was very suitable for her junior's appearance and dress, and she almost had to have it!It reminded her of the feeling of seeing her junior for the first time for no reason.

"This, this..."

Yichuan Liulixue pointed to the tie and asked.

"Miss is very discerning. This hand-tied tie is made of natural silk. There is a small cloth lining ring on the back. The texture is uniform and the sewing is fine. It is very suitable for gifting to friends. Your boyfriend will be very happy if he receives it~ "The female shopping guide introduced to her with a polite smile.

Yichuan Liulixue probably understood that when she heard the last sentence, her face turned red for no reason. Thinking of something, this tie became more pleasing to the eye, so she asked about its price.

"6800 yen, if you are a member of this store, you can enjoy a 9.5% discount, and now there is an autumn event, and a pair of exquisite men's gloves will be given to you when you spend 6500 yen in the store."

"6800?"

Yichuan Liulixue was taken aback by the price, thinking how could it be so expensive just for a tie?

The shopping guide explained methodically with a smile that the price is not expensive at all. It is designed by a famous designer and new products are on the shelves. The materials, fabrics and styles...

However, 6800 yen was indeed far more than Yichuan Liulixue's budget of 3450 yen. She wanted to counter the price, but she was a little embarrassed, but in the end she opened her mouth in embarrassment, because her wallet was dry but she was very satisfied.

Facing the girl's low-pitched and cautious counter-offer, the female shopping guide's expression remained the same, with a polite smile on her lips, but some changes occurred in the depths of her eyes, only a little enthusiasm gradually faded, and she shook her head slightly:
"I'm sorry, miss, this store does not bargain. It is recommended that you sign up for membership after consumption. You can get 95% or even 9% off for subsequent purchases."

"This, so..."

Yichuan Liulixue responded, standing in distress as if thinking about something, the shopping guide frowned and had to wait patiently.

There are three storefronts in this store. There are not many people there tonight, and it looks a bit empty. For some reason, Yichuan Liulixue even whispered.

Yichuan Liulixue touched the shriveled wallet in her pocket, thinking that it was really running out, but she glanced at the window with a hint of reluctance and expectation. The students who received the gift must be very happy, right?

So she bit the bullet and asked in a low voice if it could be cheaper, 5000 yen would be fine.

During the second inquiry, the eyes of the shopping guide changed a little, and there was a faint trace of disdain in his impatience:

"Don't be kidding, 5000 yen is not enough, why not take a look at this one, 4900 yen is very suitable for your needs..."

Yichuan Liulixue looked in the direction she was pointing, feeling a little disappointed, it was a very ordinary tie, far inferior to the one she liked.

To be honest, it's not that Yichuan Liulixue thinks that tie is not worth 6800 yen, but that all she can offer now is only 5000 yen.

She had already used everything except living expenses to buy this gift, but it was still not enough.

So the girl hesitated and stood there thinking hard, and the passage of time made her even more anxious.

Maybe it was too long delay, even the shop manager at the side came over. It was a middle-aged lady with serious face, but her voice was very gentle, asking Yichuan Liulixue if she had any dissatisfaction.

When the female shopping guide saw the store manager coming, she straightened her lazy posture and explained briefly.

"excuse me, I……"

Looking into the store manager's gaze, it was obvious that she had made no mistake, but Yichuan Liulixue subconsciously apologized.

"..."

The store manager frowned, "The 6800 yen for this tie is also the price of a new product event, and it's really worth the price."

"..."

Yichuan Liulixue didn't speak, but it could be seen that she really liked this tie, but she couldn't buy it for some reason.

The store manager smiled patiently and asked questions as if nothing had happened.

"Just for a friend..."

When Yichuan Liulixue was asked who to give it to, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she made a special explanation like a cover-up. There was a trace of panic in her eyes, which made the store manager chuckle. She is really an easy-to-understand girl, and she must be someone she likes. Must be very happy.

To be liked by such an understanding girl.

I don't know what he thought of, the store manager was silent for a while, staring at Yichuan Liulixue:
"Well, how about this, this tie can be sold to you for 6000 yen, but the pair of gloves that were given as a gift are gone."

"Hey, really!"

This is really unexpected. Although 6000 yen is still beyond the budget, it has been reduced a lot. Although for many people, 800 yen is just the money for a meal outside.

"Yes, it is."

Seeing the joy and excitement on the girl's face, the store manager smiled and nodded, "Wrap it up for you if possible?"

"..."

Yichuan Liulixue gradually fell silent, but she really liked this 100% gift very much, so she couldn't help but gritted her silver teeth, thinking that it would be better to save food and money:
"Then wrap it up for me, thank you..."

"Ah Guang, wrap it up for the customer." The store manager ordered, and brought Yichuan Liulixue to the front desk to pay the bill.

"Do you have a membership card?"

The store manager asked with a smile as usual.

Yichuan Liulixue shook her head, took out a few thousand-yen banknotes from her wallet, and a dozen odd 500-yen, 100-yen, and 50-yen coins.

A Guang, the shopping guide just now, wrapped the tie in a gift bag, caught a glimpse of the corner of Yichuan Liulixue's wallet, and muttered subconsciously:
"Isn't this rich..." Realizing something, she hurriedly shut up, but was glared at by the store manager.

"Sorry, this is the next living expenses..."

Yichuan Liulixue lowered her blushing cheeks and neatly piled up the scattered 6000 yen on the table.

Ah Guang couldn't help thinking, coming to work here for a month, the first time he saw a customer take out a coin with a denomination of 50 yen, he almost thought it was a barren countryside instead of the bustling Tokyo, it was so strange.

Perhaps it was Ah Guang's eyes that kept staring at the coin, which made Yichuan Liulixue say sorry in a low voice in embarrassment.

The store manager looked normal, smiled and accepted the coins, opened the invoice and stuffed it in, and handed the paper bag to Yichuan Liulixue.

There should be only the plain tie in the paper bag, but Yichuan Liulixue looked down and found a pair of khaki gloves.

She raised her head in surprise, and met the store manager's smiling eyes, she was not very grateful at once, she thought that the other party was kind enough to erase the change, and this so-called gift should not be there.

"You are welcome, we should thank you for visiting our shop."

Yichuan Liulixue got a pair of men's gloves by accident, her eyes filled with joy, and she thanked her gratefully. Seeing that the time was already [-]:[-], she hurried out of the store, spread her legs, and rushed to the station, ready to Go to Adachi Ward student's house.

In the store, A Guang asked with some doubts why the fortified pair of gifts went in. That troublesome girl didn't meet the requirements.

But what Ah Guang got in return was the store manager's slightly cold gaze, telling her not to talk nonsense in front of the guests next time.
-
The slightly swaying tram passed through the tunnel, shining on the people in the carriage, their expressions flickering on and off.

Holding the paper bag in her arms, Yichuan Liulixue felt a little distressed, but more of anticipation.

There is also a pair of beautiful gloves in the bag, the junior must be happier. Thinking of this, her eyes smile like crescent moons, and she hugs her tightly happily.

She was really looking forward to seeing the surprised expression of her junior after receiving the gift, although she was a little distressed that she spent more than 2000 yen more tonight.

Due to the hard life of the girl recently, the happiness value dropped by 20% at one point, and slowly rose with this inexpensive but heavy gift full of the girl's heart.

It is with anticipation and hope that we have the motivation to persevere.

After passing through the tunnel, it suddenly became clear, but soon, fine and dense raindrops hit the tram, and the windows became wet after a while. Yichuan Liulixue turned her head in surprise, and the hot air exhaled from her small mouth made the glass splash. Layer Fog:

"It's raining?"

She was talking to herself, complaining about why it was raining at this time, but on second thought, she also complained that she was in a hurry to go out, choosing gifts and procrastinating.

As the tram approached the Adachi area, the raindrops suddenly became dense and crackled on the tram, which immediately made Yichuan Liulixue dumbfounded.

When she hurried down the platform and came outside the station, the sky was gloomy, with dark clouds billowing in the sky, and the bean-heavy rain fell, God knows when the menacing appearance would stop.

Really bad news.

Yichuan Liulixue hugged the gift bag sadly, walked back and forth in the station hesitantly, looking up in three seconds to look at the pouring rain outside.

If she is alone, it doesn't matter if she runs out in the heavy rain.

But she still has to work in the restaurant tomorrow, go to the amusement park to work part-time on weekends, and take care of her mother and younger brother at night, so she must not be sick at this time!

So she had to hold back her temper and anxiously walked through the rain curtain while watching the pedestrians coming and going in the station.

In pairs, friends, family, lovers...

Trapped at the station by the storm, seeing this scene made Yichuan Liulixue feel lonely for no reason. She looked at the passers-by in the rain and saw a father holding the hand of a daughter. There was a trace of envy in the girl's eyes.

Father……

This heavy rain really seems to be suppressed for an unknown amount of time, and I can't wait to finish it in one breath!
The sound of crackling rain splashed on her calves, forcing Yichuan Liulixue to take a step back. Looking at the passing time and night, she pursed her lips, and had a feeling that she would spend tens of yen to buy an umbrella at a nearby convenience store to go to school. Brother's idea.

But that would be too much of a waste.

This is the case with Yichuan Liulixue, who saves as much as possible in the necessary places, such as skirts, clothes, shoes, and new clothes, which have not been bought for a long time, but they are very willing to spend money in some places where they need to spend money. They can grit their teeth and spend more than 2000 yen to buy one It is a gift for others, but I am not willing to spend tens of yen to buy an umbrella for myself to get through the current sadness.

Just as she was about to go to the convenience store with some distress, she was surprised to find that the rain was getting lighter.

Just like a passing tornado that messed up Tokyo and then gradually moved away, the dense raindrops gradually became thinner, and the frightening formation also subsided.

The girl happily stopped hesitating, hugged the gift bag and hummed a brisk melody, and hurried towards her junior, full of happiness and eager anticipation.

The station is only ten minutes away from the student's house, but in the girl's eyes, it seems as long as an autumn.

The street lamps standing on both sides of the road looked gray in the rain.

There are very few pedestrians.

I was going to take advantage of the rain to stop and rush to the student's house, but just 4 minutes after leaving the station, I heard a crashing sound, and the girl looked up in shock, and was hit by raindrops.

It rained again.

"Eh……"

Yichuan Liulixue complained, stomping her feet angrily, the rain is going to rain endlessly!

I thought to myself that since I came out, there was no idea of ​​going back, so I just ran to my junior's house in one go, and don't get wet by the rain again.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, the street lamps reflected the puddles of water on the ground, and the streets were filled with a sense of loneliness and loneliness.

Only the girl walked through the rain, not willing to put the gift bag on her head, but carefully hugged it in her arms and treasured it.

Be careful to avoid the water splashed by passing vehicles, but the rain is getting heavier.

The girl who was full of thoughts about her junior and was in a hurry walked up the slope of Baiban Road. She was even more delighted when she saw the faint shadow of the dojo, and subconsciously quickened her hasty pace.

Because of full of longing and anticipation, but ignored the surrounding environment, the accumulation pit was drenched with bottomless rainwater, and it was impossible to find it under the rain curtain before stepping on it.

Holding the gift bag in her arms, the girl's joyful expression turned into panic, but she couldn't stop her leaning body. Her delicate white shoes stepped on the puddle and tripped over them. With a 'bang', they fell together in embarrassment.

The wet and muddy concrete floor under her body made people shiver from the cold touch. Her well-dressed clothes had long lost their original beauty and were stained by the muddy rainwater on the ground. The gift bag she was holding tightly hugged her in a regretful way. , scattered randomly not far from Yichuan Liulixue.

Her dull eyes stared at the gift full of heart for a long time, and now it was stained with a layer of dirty mud, a happy accident, the khaki plush gloves were covered with a cement-like gray tone, and the plain tie Throw it to the ground without emotion.

Under the gray street lamps, the rain was icy cold.

　happy New Year.
