In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

She followed behind the sales assistant, watching her recommend various dresses. Occasionally, she would notice a style that caught her eye and then turn her head to ask for her opinion.

He didn't even mention taking him with him when they went to the changing room... He was actually quite disappointed about that.

While he was being helped to change clothes, someone's little hands were restlessly touching his body. He was thinking that if she continued to tease him while he was buying a dress, he wouldn't hold back...

It's a pity I didn't have that opportunity.

"I'm going inside to change my clothes. Wait here for me for a while."

"it is good."

Yang Nai took the dress she had chosen and went into the dressing room.

Under the guidance of the sales assistant, Yuan Qianye sat on a soft chair and waited to rest.

"Your girlfriend is really beautiful, with great skin and delicate features. She looks good in anything."

The sales assistant misunderstood the relationship between the two and started a conversation with them, saying nice things.

Yuan Qianye smiled, but did not deliberately deny it.

"Awaited."

The locker room door opened, and Yang Nai gracefully walked out, turning around to face the waiting Minamoto Chiyo. Her smiling eyes met his gaze.

How about this one?

For a moment, Yuan Qianye's gaze froze, and he was at a loss for words: "...Great."

Yang Nai changed into a silver-gray dress, the high-quality fabric shimmering with a soft, flowing light as she walked.

The low V-neckline perfectly accentuated her beautiful collarbone and shoulder lines, while the skirt clung to her upper body, flowing down her slender waist and flaring out below her hips, resembling a blooming flower.

The woman before him at this moment was both sexy and incredibly noble.

"Sir, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit! It suits you perfectly!"

In order to sell clothes, the sales assistant had said many things against her conscience to a lot of customers, but she swore that this time what she said was absolutely the truth!

"Is that so? Then I'll take this one."

Yang Nai made the decision easily because she clearly saw the amazement in Yuan Qianye's eyes.

A woman dresses up for the one she loves... Nothing is more satisfying than receiving affirmation from someone you have feelings for.

"Aren't you going to try some other styles?"

"I think this outfit is pretty good, but if you want to see me change into more clothes, that's not impossible."

Qianye couldn't answer that question, mainly because his identity and position didn't allow it.

After the two finished choosing their clothes, they contacted Miyoko and the others and arranged to meet in the parking lot.

On the way to the parking lot, Yang Nai, in a good mood, asked again, "Aren't you really considering going to my apartment?"

"Didn't I already say I couldn't go? The main problem is I don't have any clothes to change into."

"There are clothes to change into, but there's nothing we can do if you don't want to wear them."

"I don't want to become a pervert."

"Hehe, now there's a problem. You seem to mind wearing my clothes, but I don't mind wearing yours. So, can I go to your house to take a shower? You can bring me your clothes to change into then."

"...!"

Looking at Yang Nai, who was deliberately acting carefree, Yuan Qianye forced himself to purse his lips tightly, managing to refrain from transforming into Hong Shixian and uttering that famous four-word phrase to recreate the iconic scene.

"boss……!"

When Miyoko and her assistant saw the two of them, they quickly walked over to meet them.

Yang Nai's deliberately provocative side vanished instantly, and she returned to seriousness in a second.

In the parking lot, they parted ways and went home to prepare.

Yuan Qianye acted quickly. After a quick shower and changing into formal attire, he came out of the bathroom. Miyoko, who was waiting in the living room, hadn't even finished her cup of hot tea.

"Should I contact Ms. Yang Nai now?"

"No need, it's still early. Let's rest for a while. Would you like some snacks? There are some red bean daifuku made by Shihua in the refrigerator. They taste pretty good."

"It was made by Toka herself, so I definitely have to try it."

After resting for a while in their living room with Miyoko, it was 5:30.

The phone rang suddenly. Yuan Qianye answered it, said a few words, and then hung up.

Meeting Miyoko's gaze, he stood up and explained,

Yang said that if it was convenient, we could pick her up so that her parents wouldn't have to make a special detour to bring her along.

"Shall we set off now?"

"Ah."

Around six o'clock, Chiya arrived at the foot of Yono's apartment building.

Seeing that the message he sent five minutes earlier was still unread, Chiyo thought for a moment and decided not to make a call. She told Miyoko to wait in the car while she went upstairs and rang the doorbell.

"I knew it was you. Sorry, I'm ready right away."

Yang stepped aside to let Yuan Qianye in, and then immediately closed the door.

"You don't look like you're ready to be right now."

The woman standing in front of Chiyo was wearing a white bath towel, and her hair was also wrapped in a white towel, so she had obviously just come out of the bathroom.

"Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Yang Nai jogged back to her room, closing the door behind her. Whether she was careless or deliberately leaving a loophole, her door was only slightly ajar and not completely closed.

The sound of a hairdryer soon filled the room.

Yuan Qianye didn't know what to say. He took off his shoes but didn't go to the living room. Instead, he sat down at the kitchen table and waited patiently.

He raised his wrist to check the time. The banquet was scheduled to start promptly at 7 p.m., and it would take him some time to get to the venue. Given his current condition, it was hard to say whether he would be late.

Sitting idly with nothing to do, he began to let his mind wander uncontrollably to his current situation.

For example, why does Yang Nai not take a shower as soon as she gets home, but always has to be the last one to shower?

Yang Nai isn't the type to procrastinate, so... is this something she did intentionally for herself?

Yuan Qianye leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling.

Isn't he a little too self-conscious...?

One of the three greatest misunderstandings in the world is that he likes me.

I don't know when, but the sound of the hair dryer stopped.

There were faint rustling sounds coming from the bedroom, like the sound of her getting dressed.

Suddenly, Yang Nai poked her head out: "Qianye, come and help me with something."

Yuan Qianye walked over and reminded him, "It's already 6:10."

"I know, I'm very close to the banquet hall, I'll make it in time, don't worry."

He entered Yang Nai's bedroom. There was no Liu Bei scene. She was already dressed in a formal dress and sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a necklace and earrings. She looked even more stunning than when she was in the clothing store.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Yuan Qianye chuckled: "My sister is beautiful, but I'm not allowed to look at her?"

"You have such a sweet tongue. So, you used this trick to slowly win over Toka, didn't you?"

Yang Nai waved his hand dismissively, signaling him to come over.

As Yuan Qianye approached, she picked up several of her perfumes and asked him to help her choose: "Which one do you think would be better for me to wear tonight?"

Yuan Qianye leaned closer and smelled them all, then pointed to the one in the red bottle: "This one, I'll take it. It has a light and not too sweet scent, it smells quite nice."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Yang carefully applied a small amount of perfume to her wrists, neck, and behind her ears.

everything's ready.

"Alright, let's go."

The two went out together, and while waiting for the elevator, Yuan Qianye asked, "Speaking of which, you haven't told me the specifics of this banquet yet. Should I pay attention to anything when I attend, such as strictly following etiquette standards, silencing my phone, only taking one item of food at a time, and smiling in response to others' remarks?"

Yang Nai was amused by him: "Where did you hear this from? Did someone tell you that you have to do it this way?"

"No, I just looked it up online on my way to pick you up."

The elevator doors opened, and the two stepped inside.

With an even wider laugh, Yang Nai leaned closer and poked Chiya's cheek.

"My dear little brother, I feel like you're getting cuter and cuter. It would be so nice if you were a little smaller, so I could easily put you in my pocket when we go out."

Yuan Qianye grasped her wrist and sighed.

"You drank fake alcohol today, didn't you? Why do you seem so excited?"

"Isn't it because it's the first time I've attended such a formal banquet with you? I'm a little excited. You've never been to a similar event with Toka before, have you?"

"No, by the way, you mentioned Shihua's name a bit too often today."

Yang Nai rested her forehead on Yuan Qianye's shoulder and giggled for a while.

She quickly regained her composure and, as she stepped out of the elevator, returned to his earlier question.

"There's nothing particularly important to note. Just maintain basic politeness. You've probably attended quite a few business banquets before, so just go with the flow. They're mostly politicians and businessmen getting together to discuss business, with the core of their social interactions being the exchange of interests. If there's any real cooperation involved, they'll just approach my parents. I'm just there to accompany them this time, and you'll feel pretty much the same way being with me. If anything bothers you, I'll help you resolve it. In short, there's nothing to worry about."

"Then I'll listen to you and relax completely to deal with it normally. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for bringing shame to the Yukinoshita family."

"Oh~ You've already put yourself in the Yukinoshita family's shoes so quickly. Yukino would be very happy to know that."

What Minamoto Chiya meant was that he was invited to the banquet by the Yukinoshita family, so he would naturally associate his own position with Yukinoshita.

However, he was too lazy to explain. Yang Nai did it on purpose. That's always been her personality. She likes to tease others and gets satisfaction from seeing the helpless expressions on their faces.

It was a little bit bad.

However, once you get to know them, this uncontrollable and eccentric personality can actually be seen as a kind of fun.
