Chapter 316
"Guest, have you made up your mind?"
After the two talked, the saleswoman felt she could step in; the atmosphere wasn't as tense as before, and she could easily get involved.
"Yes, this is the one."
Ye Ziye nodded. It had been agreed beforehand that he would pay for the clothes; they were a gift for Altria.
Having lived together for so long, Ye Ziye felt that he hadn't given Artoria any special gift, even though the girl diligently fed Garfield cat food and tidied up various things every day.
It's possible that providing daily meals would be the best gift for this girl, but that doesn't matter anymore; this is what Ye Ziye wants to do.
"Well."
The saleswoman smiled. Although the kimono that Artoria had chosen didn't look particularly patterned, the cloud-patterned design and the fabric were very expensive. She would get a commission if she sold it.
Ye Ziye nodded. He was no longer the poor boy who had just transmigrated to this world; he had more than enough money to spare.
"By the way, guests, you must be planning to attend tonight's fireworks display, right?"
"Ah."
Ye Ziye didn't ask the saleswoman why she knew such a stupid question. Wearing and washing kimonos is a very troublesome thing, so except for some special holidays, very few girls would wear kimonos out.
Most of the girls who came to the store to buy kimonos today were there for the fireworks festival.
"Then I recommend that you buy a yukata as well. You and your girlfriend can wear it together when you go out. You'll look like a perfect match."
The saleswoman smiled and said, "This is the most basic quality of this profession. When it comes to selling, it doesn't matter if you get rejected. If you succeed, that's another source of income."
As for why she considered Ye Ziye and Artoria to be a couple, it's based on the most basic human understanding.
The two of them standing together were like a beautiful painting. The girl's eyes sparkled with starlight, and how could she, as a woman, not see it?
In this day and age, if a man and a woman walk together, no one would believe they don't have some kind of relationship.
Ye Ziye glanced at Artoria and, seeing that her expression remained normal, lost the desire to explain.
Because we often go shopping together, this isn't the first time we've been mistaken for a couple. Maybe I would have corrected it before, but not anymore.
"Let's forget about it."
Ye Ziye has never been keen on dressing up and is very afraid of looking too conspicuous. Now, at times, his appearance is already causing him some trouble.
"Sir, you should think it over. Today is the annual fireworks festival, and your girlfriend is dressed so beautifully. If you could keep your outfits the same, you would look even more well-matched."
The saleswoman squinted, avoiding looking at Ye Ziye's unsettling face, and used her years of honed sales techniques.
At this moment, she wasn't just thinking about making money; she also genuinely wanted to see Ye Ziye wearing a yukata. Perhaps this is what girls yearn for—beautiful things.
Ye Ziye frowned. He could understand the desire of working people to earn more money, but even though he had already refused, this person kept pushing the product, which made him a little impatient.
"I already said..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt his clothes being tugged. It was Artoria. Looking down, he could see her crystal-clear emerald green eyes.
"Ye Zi, why don't we buy one? I want to see you wear it..."
Artoria suddenly realized that Ye Ziye usually wore very ordinary clothes at home and outside, with very few prints on them.
As a martial artist, she didn't care about other people's appearances, and even a top-tier handsome guy like Ye Ziye didn't affect her at all.
But today, she suddenly wanted to see what Ye Ziye looked like in a yukata. She thought it would look really good. Sometimes, she still had some girlish desires.
Feeling the girl's gaze, Ye Ziye was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he was worried about the money, but wearing this kind of clothes was just too much trouble.
And it's also eye-catching. Most importantly, once you buy this outfit, you can only wear it today, just like the suit you wore for that arts performance back then—you never actually use it...
"Oh well..."
Ye Ziye sighed softly and nodded. This was a rare instance of Artoria making a request to him other than about food, so it was better to agree.
Wearing a yukata isn't something that's hard to accept, so just choose one that's inconspicuous.
"Then I'll take you to choose."
The saleswoman's eyes lit up, and she immediately led Ye Ziye in one direction.
Compared to women's kimonos, men's yukatas don't sell very well, so there's a wide variety of styles available, and you don't need to go to any specific area; you can just pick one out.
"Guest, take a look..."
"That will do."
Ye Ziye interrupted the saleswoman who was about to start introducing the item, because he immediately spotted a yukata.
The plain linen gray color looks decent, and most importantly, it's very understated, which meets his expectations. Fireworks festivals are already crowded, and being surrounded by onlookers would be a real hassle.
"Sir, won't you reconsider?"
The sales assistant asked tremblingly. As a woman, she instinctively wanted to see Ye Ziye wearing more gorgeous clothes. This linen dress wasn't made much because of the color, but she didn't expect it to be chosen.
"No."
Ye Ziye looked down at Artoria. The girl who had just looked at him with such anticipation now had a serious but cute expression on her face, without any other expression.
She just wanted Ye Ziye to wear clothes similar to hers so that the two of them would look more compatible; she didn't have many requirements regarding the style.
Moreover, she felt that Ye Ziye was already very handsome, and what clothes he wore was just icing on the cake. Even if he wore unattractive clothes, they couldn't hide his handsome face.
Looking at Ye Ziye beside her, Artoria suddenly felt a similar emotion.
When did Ye Ziye become so tall and strong, so tall and strong that he made her feel safe?
Even a fighting girl will feel insecure in this treacherous society.
Chapter 317
Seeing Ye Ziye and Altria, the sales assistant could say nothing more and could only nod silently.
"Alright then, I'll have someone help you get dressed."
The store sells men's clothing, so naturally there are people who help you get dressed.
"No need, I'll put it on myself when I get home."
Ye Ziye waved his hand in refusal. He didn't like being touched by others, and he preferred to dress himself.
"But... these clothes are very cumbersome to wear..."
The sales assistant carefully explained that this had happened before in the store; some people refused because they were shy, and even after returning home, they still couldn't wear these clothes, but eventually they still came to the store.
This back-and-forth situation is just too troublesome.
"No need, I can wear it."
Ye Ziye continued to wave her hand, saying that although these clothes were troublesome to put on, it wasn't impossible for her to put them on herself.
"Okay, let's make it 12 then."
The sales assistant finally gave in, because looking at Ye Ziye's face, she simply couldn't argue any further.
Artoria remained silent, pondering whether she should change back into her own clothes, as she was going shopping later and these clothes would restrict her movement.
The problem now is that she's not like Ye Ziye; she wouldn't wear these kinds of clothes herself.
While Artoria was deep in thought, she was being led around. Ye Ziye had already paid the bill and led her out of the store while she was thinking.
"Ye Zi, my clothes..."
Artoria finally snapped out of her daze, staring blankly at the sky-blue kimono she was still wearing.
"It's okay, just wear it. We can buy less stuff later."
Ye Ziye didn't care about such a trivial matter. Women's clothes are already cumbersome to put on, and once you've finally gotten them on, there's no need to go through all that trouble again.
"But isn't this the outfit we wear to the fireworks festival..."
Artoria kept her head down. She didn't care about other people's opinions or thoughts; she just felt it was better to be the same as everyone else.
“Look at those girls, the fireworks festival is at night, and they’re wearing kimonos too, so it’s okay, just wear them.”
Ye Ziye knew what Artoria was thinking, and casually spoke, his gaze falling on a girl who was wearing a kimono, albeit a more ornate one.
"But if I wear these clothes, I won't be able to carry anything later."
Looking at her hands, Artoria murmured to herself. She was afraid to do any strenuous exercise now; it felt really strange.
"Buy less stuff today, I'll carry it myself later, you just follow behind me."
When it came to carrying things, Ye Ziye showed a rare display of masculinity.
Because of the difference in strength between the two, when they were shopping in the mall before, the smaller Altria carried the larger bag, while the taller Ye Ziye carried the smaller bag.
Because of this strange combination, Ye Ziye received many strange looks, as if he were abusing a child.
"Oh well..."
Artoria was never an indecisive person, and she didn't want to keep changing her clothes. Although the kimono looked beautiful, it was also a real hassle.
After discussing it, the two of them didn't hesitate and turned to walk towards the food area. Ye Ziye picked and chose, while Artoria followed behind with a cake in her hand.
The combination of the two, one big and one small, looks quite pleasing to the eye. Artoria looks like a porcelain doll, which is quite different from her usual sharp and serious demeanor.
5. After buying a week's worth of daily necessities, the two left the mall under the gaze of many people. Although it was very close to home, Ye Ziye still chose to take a taxi.
The second reason is that in Altria, wearing a kimono is not only inconvenient to move around in, but more importantly, it's hot. It's 2 PM now, the hottest time of day, and it's definitely not feasible to walk around in such weather wearing a heavy kimono.
A taxi arrived quickly. The driver was a stranger. Just as Ye Ziye had thought, some meetings are the last, and he could clearly feel that.
After returning home, Artoria went into the living room first and turned on the air conditioner. Even though she was in a car, the heat in the air was still unbearable.
4. Looking at Altria, Ye Ziye had the idea of getting a driver's license. If the family had a car, it would definitely be much more convenient. At least when traveling, there would be no need to wait, and the air conditioning would not be a problem when riding in the car.
2. "Ye Zi, are you going to change your clothes now?"
7. Artoria maintained a strange posture, not letting her belt loosen.
8 "No, it's too early now. The fireworks display starts at night. It's too inconvenient for me to change clothes now. I need to prepare my lunchbox now."
Ye Ziye refused without hesitation. Changing clothes now was simply wishful thinking; he didn't want to put on these clothes right now.
However, compared to Artoria's clothes, his were much simpler and less complicated, which meant they didn't restrict his movements as much.
"Oh well..."
Artoria was somewhat disappointed, as she had wanted to see Yoko in a yukata as soon as possible.
