"No, no, we don't want it!"
Her face completely pale, Yuri, who had come back to her senses, waved her hand excitedly at the female sales assistant.
Are you kidding? One hundred and fifty million, even if she sold her whole family, it wouldn't be worth that much money!
"Uh…"
Her expression paused, and she felt even stranger in her heart. The female sales assistant felt a bit confused herself and couldn't help but turn her gaze to Sora on the side.
"Cough cough… Yuri, I'm a little thirsty. Could I trouble you to go out and buy some water?"
Also coming back to his senses, Sora coughed twice and said to Yuri.
"Are you thirsty, Sora-kun? Please wait a moment."
Slightly startled, she didn't know why Sora-kun suddenly wanted water, but Yuri didn't think too much about it. She quickly took a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Sora.
"…" Sora.
Feeling a little awkward, Sora was completely speechless in his heart. Miss Yuri, do you really need to be so well-prepared when you go shopping?!
"Um, I want to drink green tea…"
Even with his thick skin, Sora couldn't help but feel his old face flush, but he had no choice. He could only continue to bite the bullet and say.
"Oh, so Sora-kun likes to drink green tea. I'll go buy it for you right now."
The innocent Yuri-chan not only didn't have the slightest suspicion, but instead, with red cheeks, she shyly put her water away and quickly ran outside to buy green tea for Sora.
"Sir, did you send your little girlfriend away for something? If you have something to say, say it quickly, otherwise your little girlfriend will be back soon!"
The female sales assistant was not as innocently naive as Yuri-chan. As an observer, she naturally saw at once that Sora had deliberately sent Yuri away. She found it very amusing that someone could be fooled by such an obvious and clumsy excuse. Perhaps only that innocent girl would be!
Well, the reason for using such a low-level excuse wasn't that Sora couldn't come up with a better idea. It was because he knew that such an excuse would be enough to fool the simple Yuri. sweat
"There's something I'd like to ask for your help with, Miss. Later, you do this and this…"
Whispering a few words into the female clerk's ear, Sora took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it over.
This was a gift from the "Bronze-Black Cross," the organization Erica belonged to, to show their respect. It seemed to contain 10 billion European Yuan.
Looking at the gold card in her hand, the female clerk was startled again. Who exactly was this young boy? He even had this kind of globally accepted supreme gold card!
The female clerk even had the urge to throw herself at him, but she just thought about it casually. Compared to that simple and beautiful young girl, she was far behind. It was clear he wouldn't be interested in her. Being smart, she didn't ask any more questions and quickly did as Sora had instructed her.
"Sora-kun, sorry to keep you waiting."
Breathing heavily, with a slight sweat on her forehead, Yuri handed a bottle of green tea to Sora and said apologetically.
"Heh heh, thanks, Yuri."
Feeling a little ashamed, Sora actually didn't want to drink any green tea. However, looking at Yuri-chan's expectant expression, he probably couldn't refuse.
Yuri, Yuri, why are you so simply adorable!
"Sora-kun, let's go to another store. I don't want the same one as you, any one will do."
Feeling a little disappointed, Sora-kun's phone was so expensive, she definitely couldn't afford it. As for letting Sora pay for her, Yuri hadn't even thought about it.
"Is that so… Alright then!"
Putting on a hesitant expression, Sora finally agreed, but while Yuri wasn't paying attention, he winked at the female clerk on the side.
"Please wait a moment, both of you!"
With a faint smile playing on her lips, the female clerk walked over from the counter and called out to them.
"Um, I'm sorry, we're not buying anymore, we're not buying."
Not knowing what was going on in her little head, Yuri said to the female clerk with an apologetic and uneasy expression.
"Heh heh, little sister, don't misunderstand. Actually, I have some good news to tell you."
The female clerk was also a master of acting, speaking with a calm and natural demeanor that made Sora secretly give her a thumbs up in his heart.
Of course, even without this, it was unlikely that the Miko-san, Yuri-chan, would notice anything.
"Good news?"
Looking bewildered, Yuri cast a questioning glance at Sora.
Shrugging his shoulders, Sora put on an innocent expression, indicating that he didn't know either.
"It's like this. To thank our valued customers for their support, our store established a rule a long time ago to give back to our customers. When the one millionth customer shops here, no matter what they want to buy, we will only symbolically charge them 1000 Yuan."
"Little sister, you're really lucky. The customer who just left was the nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-ninth customer. If you buy something in our store right now, you'll be exactly the one millionth customer!"
Blinking her eyes, the female clerk gave Yuri-chan a look that said, "You're so lucky."
"R-R-R-Really?!!!"
With an expression of disbelief, Yuri-chan felt like she was being overwhelmed by happiness, even stuttering when she spoke!
"Yuri, hurry up and buy the phone, otherwise someone else will get ahead of you!"
Secretly giving the female clerk a thumbs up, Sora also cooperated perfectly and quickly urged her.
"Um… um…"
Feeling flustered, she still seemed to be in disbelief.
The phone she wanted, the same as Sora-kun's, was worth 150 million, but now it had suddenly become only 1000 Yuan. This huge difference made it completely impossible for Yuri-chan to adapt for a moment!
"Yuri, you didn't bring that much money, did you? Ah, never mind, I'll lend it to you first, but remember to pay me back next time."
Putting on a speechless expression, Sora said this while preparing to take out money.
Actually, this guy was completely teasing the Miko-san. 1000 Yuan sounded impressive, but when converted to RMB or something similar, it was only a few dozen yuan. Although Yuri's family wasn't extremely wealthy, they could easily afford this small amount.
"No, no, I… I have it…"
Coming back to her senses, her face red, she kept waving her hands to refuse. Although she didn't know that Sora was teasing her, Yuri was quite embarrassed.
"Little sister, do you still want the phone? Decide quickly, there are other customers coming in over there. If they get ahead of you, you'll miss the opportunity!"
Feeling that this young couple was really interesting, the female clerk also encouraged them from the side.
"Yes, I want it!"
Although simple, Yuri-chan wasn't stupid. She wouldn't pass up such a windfall from the sky. She quickly took out a thousand Yuan and handed it to the other party.
"Heh heh heh…"
After receiving the money and making a record at the cash register, the female clerk handed a beautifully packaged box to Yuri.
With a red face, Yuri excitedly took it. It wasn't because of how valuable the phone was or how lucky she was, but simply because her phone was the same as Sora-kun's.
One has to say, what a simple girl she was!
If it were our Comrade Sora, he would probably first think of quickly reselling this sky-high priced phone to make a profit from the difference, sweat…
"Let's go, Yuri. You definitely won't know how to use this thing, right? I'll teach you how to use it after we go out."
Looking at the girl's happy expression, a faint smile played on Sora's lips, and he was in a pretty good mood. Knowing that this Miko-san was a mechanical idiot, if he didn't teach her, even a sky-high priced phone worth hundreds of millions would just be a useless piece of plastic in her hands.
"Okay, please, Sora-kun…"
Lowering her head shyly, the Miko-san replied softly.
One has to say, the title of "mechanical idiot" for the Miko-san wasn't given for nothing. Sora originally thought that demonstrating it a couple of times would be enough, but it took him nearly half a day to teach her the most basic operations. Sora was already speechless.
At noon, they had a meal at a restaurant. The money was paid by the Miko-chan, her reason being that since Sora-kun had helped her so much, how could she let him pay the bill? Ignoring the strange and disdainful looks from those around them, Sora also accepted it happily.
Speaking of which, teaching this mechanical idiot had really exhausted him, so Sora didn't stand on ceremony with her. And not only that, this guy also ate heartily, basically giving the Miko-san a good "slaughtering."
Originally, after buying the phone, everything was done, and they could have gone home in the afternoon. However, both of them tacitly didn't suggest going home.
It was naturally impossible for the simple and thin-skinned Yuri-chan to take the initiative, so Sora had to bite the bullet. Although he wasn't very interested in parks, zoos, amusement parks, etc., and this Miko-san didn't seem interested in these things either, Sora didn't have any better ideas, so he took Yuri around these places.
Speaking of which, their current relationship was quite awkward. It seemed a step closer than ordinary friends and acquaintances, but it seemed a little short of being a couple. It always felt like there was a layer of paper that hadn't been broken through.
If it were Sora after his memory recovered, let alone paper, he would break through even a layer of iron! As for the current Sora…
Let nature take its course!
Although they didn't do anything, and later didn't even say a word to avoid awkwardness, they just walked together in silence. Yet, both Sora and Yuri, these two carefree individuals, somehow felt a sense of enjoyment and thought it wasn't bad.
"Sora, thank you so much for today. Goodbye."
As the sun set, standing at the fork in the road, Yuri's cheeks were tinged with a faint blush. She bowed to Sora and said.
Unlike before, when she called him "Sora-kun," this time Yuri subconsciously called him by his first name.
"Ah, goodbye, Yuri!"
With a faint smile, Sora waved to the girl and walked towards his home.
Today, it seemed pretty good…
Watching Sora's retreating figure, the miko's face also showed a sweet smile. She turned around and walked towards her own home.
…
"Kaoru, I bought a phone too. This is my number."
In the evening, while taking a bath, Yuri called her friend Kaoru and said. Since she had a phone now, she naturally had to tell her friend.
"Heh… I'm really surprised that Yuri has a phone too!"
"Let me guess, did that guy Sora go with you to buy it and teach you how to use it?!"
From the other end of the phone came the slightly surprised and teasing voice of Miss Kaoru.
"Uh… yes…"
Her face couldn't help but turn red. Yuri thought to herself that Kaoru was too smart. She hadn't even said anything, so how did she know?
"Hehehe… Hurry up and tell me all the good things you did today!"
Miss Kaoru's voice, full of interest and gossip, rang out again from the phone.
"Kaoru, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing between Sora and me. Don't misunderstand."
"It's like this…"
Worried that her friend might misunderstand something, Miko-san specifically emphasized it. Being a simple person, she wasn't someone who would lie, so she recounted everything that happened between her and Sora during the day.
"Hehehe, Kaoru, I really didn't expect that I would have such good luck!"
After finishing her story, Miko-san, Yuri-chan, couldn't help but sigh. After all, this was the first time she had encountered something like this, like a pie falling from the sky, in her life.
"Ah, ah, it's because Yuri is an idiot that you have such good luck!"
With an incredibly sour tone, the shrewd Miss Kaoru, who was like a fox, was naturally not the simple Yuri-chan. After listening to her story, she understood what was going on.
She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. That scoundrel Sora was quite generous to this silly girl Yuri. No, next time I'll throw away my phone too, and then I'll make him buy me a high-end one worth hundreds of millions!
"Kaoru, what are you talking about? Why are you calling me an idiot again?!"
Not understanding, Miko-san puffed up her cheeks and retorted to Miss Kaoru over the phone.
"Hai hai, it's nothing, nothing. It's fine for Yuri to just be an idiot forever. Good night, goodbye!"
Facing this simply adorable silly girl, Miss Kaoru was completely convinced. She said a sentence and then hung up the phone…
