Kapitel 720: Gift Exchange
"There seem to be only two people eating barbecue. I didn't expect it to be so awkward..."
"Well, wouldn't it be better if there were more people?"
"It's hard to say. If it's just the two of us, I'll end up grilling all the meat for Shinichi... If there are more people, we can't handle it."
"Anyway, we're serving the public, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"Is that so? Shinichi is very considerate."
"I hate that. At least I belong to you now~"
"So disgusting!... But it's quite funny."
"Thanks for the compliment, but you laughed so hard with an expressionless face..."
"Hehehehe~"
Under the cool autumn night, the conversation of the two accompanied by laughter walked side by side on the way home.
The urban night scene resembled a 480P landscape film, everything becoming elegant and blurry.
The only high-definition picture was the one with a smile next to it.
Unconsciously, the upper-class apartment at the end was already in sight.
At the final distance, Shinichi and Miku stopped talking; they just held hands and moved forward slowly.
Nostalgia and reluctance, nevertheless, the boundaries of parting became increasingly visible in their eyes.
They stood in front of the apartment door, and Shinichi spoke first.
"Then I'll send it here. I had a great time today, thank you, Miku."
"No, I did too." Miku looked at their intertwined fingertips, exerted a bit of force, and then slowly relaxed.
She showed a happy smile.
"Today... I am very happy. I have never been this happy. So, is this a lover's date?"
"Maybe? I've never dated anyone, so I don't know."
Shinichi looked at the girl in front of him with gentle features and a quiet temperament, and also laughed.
"Then let's just consider it as it is. Besides, you today..."
"Today, you..."
They looked at each other and spoke simultaneously.
"You are my lover!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Whether it was funny or not, as the night returned to silence, regret and sadness due to parting had long been dispersed by laughter.
"Then I'll be heading back. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, be careful on the road."
They looked at each other.
Miku frowned.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
"I'm waiting for you to turn around and leave."
"Coincidentally, I am too."
"After you."
"No!" Miku firmly refused.
"We're all thinking the same thing... so there won't be any surprises."
"Don't talk about the same idea," Shinichi sighed helplessly, "I know what you're doing after spending ten minutes in the bathroom."
"What..." Her face turned red; Miku unconsciously brought her legs together, and her eyes wandered, "Girls don't have a fixed time to go to the bathroom, so don't make random guesses..."
Shinichi tilted his head in confusion.
"Is it that simple? Moreover, a beautiful girl like Miku shouldn't be too old—"
Before he finished speaking, Miku raised her hand to cover his mouth.
"Don't say that! I'm not an animated character, so I won't be happy at all after being praised like this!"
She bit her youthful red lips and glared at him.
"Also, when you said you would chat with that old woman and asked me to wait for you in the store, I also know what you wanted to do!
"So, we're even involved in this matter!"
"Is that so?!" Shinichi said in surprise, moving away her hand.
"You even knew that I got contact information from the grandma?"
"..."
Miku stared at Shinichi expressionlessly, a bright light shining in her blue eyes.
"Well, I was wrong. This is the last joke for today."
Shinichi raised the white flag as a sign of surrender, then reached out and pinched Miku's cheek affectionately.
Shinichi smiled as the tip of his pinky finger lifted the hair on her temple and slowly tied it to the blue headphones.
"Then let me count to three, two, and one, and we'll draw the lottery together?"
"...Um."
Miku answered softly, searching for something in her bag, and blushing shyly, she looked down.
Shinichi also put his hand in his bag and looked at Miku.
"So, three, two..."
"Don't say one point nine or one point eight," Miku warned coldly.
Shinichi smiled, a hint of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
"I won't do that. I said it was the last time I joked...
"Okay, let's count down again – three, two, one!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they both took out different items from their bags simultaneously.
Since there was no time to hide the packaging from the other party, they took them out as if they had just bought them from the store.
Miku held a glasses case in her hands.
Shinichi was holding a small bracelet.
"These are non-prescription glasses. I think they suit you very well... So, I bought them."
Miku bit her lip lightly, her voice slightly anxious.
"I've never given anything to a guy, so it shouldn't matter, right?"
"Of course. From my perspective, even though it's not high in value, I also feel it's quite suitable for you, so I bought it right away."
Shinichi was much more relaxed than her. "Originally, I wanted to buy something related to the general of the Warring States, but I couldn't find anything within the budget, so I had to choose what looked the most pleasant."
"Is that the most pleasant..." Miku looked at the silver bracelet, then slowly placed the glasses case back.
"Then I will carefully choose something better for you; this one..."
Shinichi quickly grabbed her wrist and opened the glasses case with his other hand, revealing thin-framed gray glasses inside.
"Okay. This one is fine; no need to change it," He nodded satisfactorily.
Miku shook her head vigorously.
"No, there might be something better..."
Miku tried to take back the glasses, but her struggling force was so weak that Shinichi could suppress her movements without using any strength.
He looked at Miku and asked.
"What's more important, do I look good, or do the glasses look good?"
