Chapter 25 Shame

"(You have something to do with me?)"

The title I finally changed was changed back not long after.

The tone was still cold.

The eldest lady didn't seem to want to talk about the accident just now, so she went straight to the topic.

This made Chen Ling feel even more embarrassed, and for a while he looked away from Li Xiang.

"Well... I actually want you to take me out tomorrow to go shopping and go to Chinatown."

"uh-huh."

An indistinct voice spread from the depths of Rika Shona's throat, and Chen Ling couldn't understand her thoughts.

He held his face with one hand and tapped his index finger on the table, attracting Chen Ling's attention. His nails were not painted with anything, and were light pink, with a bit of cuteness that was inconsistent with the childlike name Lixiang.

Hey, I'm impatient.

"(What do you want to buy?)"

"Second-hand guitars, recording equipment, cameras, ingredients, condiments that can't be bought around here..."

The things Chen Ling listed were enough for Lixiang to understand his intentions.

Facing her gaze, Chen Ling shrugged helplessly.

"You know, I don't know the way."

"(I didn't say I won't accompany you there. Since I have agreed to do it with you, I also have a responsibility.)"

"Dating" license get!

"By the way, let's take public transportation tomorrow to save some money."

The eldest lady looked reluctant.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Although the money for the bus ride can be used in the public account of her young name Lixiang, in Chen Ling's plan, sooner or later there will be conflicts between the eldest lady and her family. It is better to adapt to the life of ordinary people as early as possible.

He originally wanted Lixiang to show him the way, but after thinking about it, after he found the way, didn't he give her a reason not to go out for a walk on the weekend?

A beautiful girl can be hidden in a golden house, but she must not be depressed at home.

The topic seems to be over.

At a certain moment, Chen Ling met the eldest lady's dark eyes again, and Chen Ling said subconsciously: "By the way, what happened just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Rika Shona.

This was the first time Chen Ling saw her interrupt someone's speech.

"(Can you please stop talking about this?)"

The corners of his lips are slightly downward, looking a little cold.

"But it was my fault just now, so I think I still have to apologize."

But the current situation is still a bit embarrassing.

Subconsciously, I would think of Rika Shona's unobstructed back.

"(It doesn't matter if you apologize or not.)"

Her tone seemed a little more serious.

"(Please don't think about what happened just now... don't make meaningless imagination, just pretend that nothing happened.)"

His tone was extremely cold.

"(May I?)"

"……Oh well."

Her cold aura at the moment made Chen Ling involuntarily nod in agreement.

The eldest lady stood up, went back to the bedroom without looking back, closed the door, and locked it.

The act of leaving was done in one go.

But Chen Ling didn't feel that he had offended her. The bright red ears could not escape his sight even if they were hidden among the dark hair.

Lixiang looks shy, is this the type?

……

"(Do you remember clearly the route you took here just now?)" Chen Ling swiped his card and left the station with Rika Shona. He heard from the eldest lady that they could reach the Chinatown they visited last time in a few minutes' walk.

"Why are you walking...I seem to have forgotten. In fact, I am a bit road-crazy."

Chen Ling opened his eyes and told lies with a very sincere expression.

"(Is this so?)"

He could understand this sentence, but he didn't know whether the eldest lady believed it or deliberately failed to expose his little trick.

It's already past five in the afternoon.

Winter has fallen between the tall buildings, and after it sets on the horizon, night will come.

There is still a big difference in travel efficiency between taking the subway and taking a taxi. It took about an hour to get here from home by tram.

Save money and have dinner at home. Of course it’s not early when you come here.

The main reason is that the eldest lady doesn't want to go out too early. She seems to have to complete her homework at home and... play video games.

Chen Ling originally wanted to ask about setting the login time on the computer, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. It was so embarrassing.

Stop at the intersection of Chinatown.

After that, it was his world, and everything familiar brought a feeling of "going home".

"Let's buy seasonings and the like first. To buy spicy millet, braised meat, and spices, you have to come all the way here."

Chen Ling muttered.

Rika Shona didn't understand, and had no intention of taking out her mobile phone to translate. She just followed Chen Ling, looking at the surroundings that had changed from last time, and occasionally paying attention to Chen Ling's gaze.

First, I went to an acquaintance's place to do some shopping. This time I bought a bit more than last time, and the bottles were full.

It can be used for a while.

"Auntie, I have to buy some things. Can I put these in your store for you to take a look at? Can I come over and pick them up later?"

"No problem, just don't forget to get it."

Chen Ling left the supermarket.

"It's been a long wait."

Rika Wakina, who was waiting at the entrance of the supermarket, looked at the plastic bags he put in the supermarket and nodded slightly.

Although she was still not accompanied throughout the whole process this time, her expression looked quite gentle. Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, Chen Ling could always see some daily differences in her beautiful poker face.

For example, when you are unhappy, your eyelids will droop, the corners of your lips will tighten, and so on.

It depends on whether you are careful enough or not.

She seemed confused as to why this was possible.

“(Aren’t you going to take the things you bought with you?)”

Chen Ling glanced at the screen of the mobile phone handed over by Li Xiang and showed a mysterious smile.

"In our country, as long as the relationship is strong enough, it's a trivial matter. We'll pick it up later. Anyway, it's on our way."

This kind of operation is more common in small shops near home, and it is even more common in small cities.

In essence, it is a unique custom. It is not only a convenient behavior, but also enhances trust and relationships between people.

But in Tokyo, it probably doesn’t exist.

It can be judged from the reaction of the eldest lady, although Chen Ling has never been out of the country before.

"By the way, Rika, do you have anything you want to buy? (Japanese)"

Chen Ling did not take out his mobile phone, and his stumbling Japanese language surprised Rika Shona.

Hey, do you understand or not?
  The black-haired girl gently rubbed her fingertips and shook her head slowly.

"(The accent is really weird.)"

good! Being able to understand is considered a success.

"Today is a good day~"

Chen Ling hummed a little tune while taking the eldest lady to look for a second-hand musical instrument store. He didn't know if there was one here. If not, he would have to ask Lixiang to take him to find it elsewhere.

This was the first time that he did not rest on his laurels and tried to communicate with others based on the knowledge he had learned.

Fortunately, there is a seller of second-hand musical instruments in Chinatown.
