Chapter Thirty-Six
Now that I know the squad leader’s birthday, what gift should I give him? It seems that the information says that the squad leader likes mountain climbing. Let’s find out from this aspect!
While thinking about it, I walked out of the school gate. Suddenly, a luxurious car stopped in front of me. It was Atobe's special car.
The Ice Emperor and his party attracted many people to watch.
"This uncle is looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Aren't you looking for the squad leader? I looked at the large troops behind him and didn't know why.
"Ah! Next week is my uncle's birthday, and here is the invitation!" Atobe handed over a very gorgeous post.
I took it and took a look and was dumbfounded!
"Next Monday? That's three days away. How can I have time to prepare gifts in such a hurry? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Uncle Atobe raised the corner of his mouth and touched the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye. He ignored my question and said to himself: "Remember to wear a dress when you come to the dance. I have to go find Tezuka first."
After that, he led the Hyokui group towards the teaching building. As he passed by me, Atobe whispered in my ear: "I am looking forward to your gift!"
Looking at that flamboyant back, I frowned a little helplessly. The more you look forward to it, the bigger my head gets! There are only three days left, and the monitor has not solved it yet? Really, why are everyone crowded together to be born?
Huh? Could it be that these two destined opponents have to compare the time it takes to break out of their shells?
Just stuff that gorgeous invitation into your schoolbag and go home!
In the evening, I thought hard about the invitation, what should I give? That guy from the Atobe department should be short of everything! And he got what he asked for. The squad leader was fine, at least he had a direction to think about. As for the
Atobe has absolutely no clue!
Just when I didn't know what to do, Ono called.
"Murong, I heard that you received an invitation letter from Atobu."
"Ah! Yes! I said I was going to some kind of dance, and I had to wear a dress." I frowned. The dress Atobe meant must be the kind of frivolous dress I wore at his house last time!
Anyway, it can’t be the Hanfu my family prepares for festivals and the like. Thinking about it makes me feel awkward.
"Sure enough! Tomorrow happens to be Friday, let's go together to help you choose a dress!" Ono said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
"Uh..." I really want to refuse, but I really don't have a dress. "Okay then..."
After hanging up the phone, he fell down on the bed and buried his head in the silk quilt embroidered with peonies.
"What on earth are we going to do?"
Touching the embroidery patterns on the quilt, I thought about something that could be used as a birthday gift for Atobe. What doesn’t the young master have at home? It’s really distressing to give him something. By the way, embroidery! Why don’t I have anything?
What do you think? Atobe’s family probably doesn’t have such a thing! So what should we embroider? Atobe is so narcissistic, why not...
As soon as I arrived at school the next day, Ono talked endlessly about buying a dress. Which brand was better, which style was more suitable, whether to choose a sexy one or a cute one... I could hear it from the sidelines.
My head is sweating profusely. Come on, we are only fourteen or fifteen years old now. No matter how precocious we are, we cannot be said to be sexy or not!
"Hey, Murong, have you found a dance partner?"
"Dance partner?" I didn't know why.
"Of course you need a partner to attend the dance! Haven't you found one yet?"
"No! Anyway, I can't dance. I'm just going to the dance to make up the numbers. It doesn't matter if I have a dance partner or not!"
"That won't work! This time Atobe-kun's birthday party will be attended by many Hyotei students. We must not let Hyotei's girls look down on us Seigaku girls. So..." Ono narrowed his eyes and came over to speak out. Said: "You must find an excellent dance partner!"
It’s a matter of face again! It’s even related to the school’s honor. Doesn’t this put pressure on me? An excellent dance partner? Where should I find it?
Seeing the squad leader sitting upright in the front row, a plan suddenly came to my mind.
"Sir monitor, you also received the invitation from Atobu yesterday, right?"
"ah!"
"So have you found a dance partner?"
"Not yet."
"Then do you have anyone you want to invite?"
"……No."
There's something going on! I smiled slyly.
"Hey! Mr. Monitor, our situation is exactly the same! Why don't we help each other?"
The person in front thought about it.
"good!"
I smiled with satisfaction and gave Xiaoye a victory gesture. If you have any questions, please contact the monitor. The teacher was indeed right!
Ono gave me a thumbs up with a look of admiration.
After class in the afternoon, Ono couldn't wait to drag me to Tokyo Commercial Street. She really comes here no matter what she buys! No wonder the shops here are so profitable. But I'm not qualified to say that others are. Because I get rent from the money earned by these stores... Haha.
No matter what, Ono pulled me into a store that specializes in buying dresses.
"What do you think of this?" Ono asked me, holding a bright red long dress with a low collar.
I shook my head quickly.
"What about this one?" A small goose-yellow lace dress.
I waved my hand. I've had enough of the little dress, not to mention that this time I went to the Atobe family, and I didn't want to make a fool of myself again.
"Then this one!" Purple tight dress.
"No!" He rejected it without hesitation. There is so much space in the back that I wouldn't wear it even if I were killed.
"Then what do you want?"
I frowned and looked at the dresses hanging in the store. I turned around and asked the waiter.
"Do you have any silk dresses here?"
"I'm sorry, silk is only produced in China and is difficult to buy. We don't have such a noble dress in our store."
"That's it!" I looked disappointed.
Ono came over and pulled me and whispered: "Do you really want to buy a silk dress? It's very expensive!"
"But silk ones are more comfortable to wear!" For example, the Hanfu at home are all made of silk.
Ono thought for a while, and as if he had made a lot of determination, he raised his head and said to me: "Then I will take you to buy it. I know a store that will definitely have silk dresses."
"Really?"
"Well! This time you attend Atobe-kun's birthday party and you must not make Hyotei's people look down on you. But, Murong, that store is really expensive. The cheapest dress costs over a million..."
"It's millions! I should be able to afford it!" I started to look at the sky and think about how many zeros were on my card.
"Well...if you really want to buy it, let's go and have a look! If it doesn't work, I know other good stores."
"Okay! Let's go take a look first!"
Under the leadership of Ono, I came to a very luxuriously decorated clothing store.
"Welcome!" The waiter smiled professionally at the door. But after seeing Xiao Ye and I clearly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Ono walked timidly behind me, carefully looking at this luxurious and luxurious store.
"Excuse me, do you have silk dresses in your store?" I asked the waiter straight to the point.
"...Excuse me, do you mean a silk dress?" The waiter asked again, unsure.
"Yes, I want to see the silk dresses in your store." I said with a smile.
The waiter looked at us doubtfully, then said, "Please follow me!" Then he turned and left. Walking around the racks with gorgeous dresses, he followed the waiter to the VIP room at the back. Ono looked at us all the way.
Be careful, for fear of breaking something.
As soon as the door of the VIP room opened, Ono behind him couldn't help but exclaimed. Everyone inside turned their heads and looked at us.
A middle-aged man wearing a high-end suit came over with a dark face and cursed the waiter who brought us in.
"How did you do this? Didn't you know that Miss Asakura was here to choose dresses? How could she bring just anyone in?" As he spoke, he looked at us with disdain from time to time.
The waiter quickly bent over and apologized sincerely.
I felt the strength on my arm tighten. I looked back and found Xiaoye biting her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and holding me tightly with both hands.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here..."
He gave her a relieved smile, walked directly to the middle-aged man and said, "Excuse me, are you the owner of this store?"
"I'm the store manager. Is there any problem?" The middle-aged man raised his head and said proudly.
"I want to see the silk dresses in your store." Seeing the store manager's surprised expression, I added with a smile: "Of course, if you don't have them in the store, I won't make it difficult for you."
Although Ono behind me turned pale with nervousness, he still stood stubbornly behind me, not taking a step back.
Seeing that the store manager was stunned and motionless, I pretended to be disappointed and said to Ono: "It seems that there are no dresses we want here! Looking at the decoration, I thought this store was very high-end, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. Forget it.
, let’s go to the next one!”
Just as he was about to turn around and leave with Xiao Ye, a cold female voice suddenly came from inside.
"Wait a moment."
I turned around and saw a girl slowly walking out of the VIP room. She had dark purple waist-length hair and silver-grey eyes. Her cold and noble demeanor and arrogant eyes seemed to ignore the whole world.
