Chapter 312 Don't Conceal
"Kitagawa-san, there's also... Miao!?"
Takizawa Kaoru looked at Kitagawa Cheru and Eshima Myo with a surprised expression.
Yes, there were indeed rumors in the class about the scandal between Kitagawa Cheru and Ejima Myo, but as someone who always believed that seeing is believing, she had always scorned such rumors.
Rumors, after all, only stop at the wise.
only……
Judging from the current situation, this rumor seems to be more than just a rumor.
Even if the relationship between these two people is not a couple, it is estimated that it is not far off.
After all, as far as her intuitive feeling is concerned, when a girl goes out with others, the expression on her face and the subconscious expression of her body can explain many, many problems.
If you have to go out with someone you don't like, your body's subconscious movements will become stiffer and stiffer, and you will also deliberately maintain a certain social distance from the other person, and you will talk more perfunctorily.
But does the Eshima Myo in front of me show any signs of this?
the answer is negative.
On the contrary, Miao Eshima's face was filled with a gentle look that could not be seen in the class in the past.
"Hello, Takizawa-san."
Compared to Takizawa Kaoru, Kitagawa Che seemed much calmer. He nodded slightly, calmly held Miao Eshima's hand, and responded calmly.
This is his attitude and his opinion on this matter.
It is impossible to hide the matter between him, Myo Eshima and Rinne Hokion from everyone.
Bunkyo-ku is so big, and Tokyo is so big. It will be difficult not to encounter them even once.
——Unless the three of them never go out together.
But it can't be done.
In other words, whether it's the jealous Kitan Rinne or the scheming Eshima Myo, they are quite resistant to the idea of everyone not going out together.
In their words, the three of them don't have a shady relationship, so it wouldn't be a big deal if they went out together openly.
"You guys..."
Takizawa Kaoru looked at Kitagawa Che and then at Eshima Myo. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still didn't ask that question.
Everyone has everyone's privacy.
As a classmate, even if she bumped into him at this time, she should keep it a secret, instead of asking for details, or making irresponsible remarks about people behind their backs.
What's more, judging from the current situation, she already knew it in her heart. What more questions do she need to ask?
Just like she whispered in her heart just now, how can any "ordinary" friend go out together and hang out in the home appliance section of a department store on a day off?
What's more, Kitagawa Che had already told himself through actions just now about the relationship between him and Miao.
The fingers are clasped together, which is enough to explain many, many problems.
but……
No wonder that guy Taku always fell silent whenever gossip in this area was brought up.
This guy is quite honest and has a very strict mouth.
After complaining a few words in his heart, Takizawa Kaoru coughed lightly, the expression on his face returned to the relaxation of the past, and he naturally started talking, "So, are you planning to buy a new refrigerator?"
"Yes."
Myo Eshima and Che Kitagawa looked at each other. After receiving the latter's affirmative look, she nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
To be honest, she was a little panicked at first.
After all, they were bumped into by their classmates.
If the other party's tone is slightly lax, it will stir up some gossip in the class.
She was very clear about her young master's character. He was the kind of person who expected to live peacefully and didn't want to cause too much trouble in his life, at least not with him as the center.
But she was aware of the young master's little move just now, which meant that she no longer had to think about being sneaky.
"Have you already chosen it? Or are you still looking at it?"
Kaoru Takizawa looked at Eshima Myo, and then looked back at his mother who was thinking about the rice cooker in front of another row of shelves. There was some helplessness visible to the naked eye on her face.
She was 'escorted' here by her mother.
What her mother meant was that she needed a shopping companion, and the rice cooker and refrigerator at home had basically reached their limit of use, so they had to consider replacing them with new ones. She came here to give her opinions as a young person.
"I've already chosen it." Myo Eshima turned around, raised her chin slightly, and motioned Takizawa Kaoru to look at the brown-grey double-door refrigerator, "Here, this is it."
"Um……"
Looking along Eshima Myo's line of sight, Takizawa Kaoru's face showed a little more thought.
This refrigerator always felt familiar to her.
"This..." After thinking carefully for a while, Takizawa Kaoru frowned slightly, "Did you do promotions on shopping apps before?"
"Yes." Eshima nodded, "But the price at that time was on the high side." She paused and her eyes fell on the price tag on the refrigerator, "But now, this price is more appropriate. .”
"It's more appropriate, but if I remember correctly, the storage capacity of this refrigerator seems to be 700L, right?"
Takizawa Kaoru looked at Eshima Myo with a subtle expression.
This capacity, to put it more exaggeratedly, is enough for a family of three to eat for half a month.
According to the purchasing frequency of ordinary people, this reserve is obviously much larger. To put it bluntly, if you are buying a refrigerator, you will not consider such a large refrigerator.
Take their family as an example. There are four people in their family, including her parents, her and a younger sister. The refrigerator only holds about 400L.
Even so, the size of the refrigerator is still quite sufficient.
"This is just right for our family."
Ejima Miao blinked and gave Kaoru Takizawa a look that said, "Let your imagination run wild."
How to understand this sentence depends on the person involved, Takizawa Kaoru.
Anyway, she said everything but nothing.
However, God’s calculation is ultimately inferior to man’s calculation.
Takizawa Kaoru did not dwell on this sentence as Ejima Miao imagined, but directly started talking, "If it is just right, then there is really no problem."
"Hmm~"
Ejima nodded wonderfully as an answer.
"smoke!"
The voice of a middle-aged woman called from behind the three of them.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After hearing his mother's call, Takizawa Kaoru glanced at Eshima Myo, then turned to look at Kitagawa Teru.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly and teased someone, "I won't disturb our two-person world anymore."
After saying that, Takizawa Kaoru waved to the two of them, turned around, and took steps, intending to return to his mother.
"Takizawa-san."
The moment Takizawa Kaoru was about to turn around and leave, Kitagawa Che called out to the girl.
Although he knew that this girl would not talk nonsense due to her personality, but to be on the safe side, he still hoped to get a positive answer from her mouth.
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense about what happened today."
Takizawa Kaoru smiled slightly, and said these words before Kitagawa Che could speak too bluntly.
She knew exactly what her classmate was worried about. "Then please."
Beichuan Che thanked him sincerely.
"Don't do that."
Takizawa Kaoru quickly waved his hand.
This kind of thing is easy to do, so why should we help her? If I really wanted to say help, Kitagawa Che was the one who did her a big favor.
She originally wanted to thank Beichuan Che for that matter.
According to their family's rules, a sincere thank you requires at least a visit and a thank you gift, but Kitagawa Che declined her thank you.
He said that this kind of thing does not need to be so serious, and students should help each other.
"However, if I really want to say thank you, I have a small question that I would like to ask Myo." Kaoru Takizawa turned his eyebrows and looked at Eshima Myo with a curious look on his face, "I heard something from my class before. My classmates said that Miao and Kitagawa-san were childhood sweethearts, is this true?"
This rumor has been around for some time.
It first started to spread from the incident of the hero saving the beauty in the alley, but at that time everyone was concerned about the "beauty" in this "hero saving the beauty", and this gossip only caused a small wave in their class.
And this thing is not the kind that has no beginning or end.
"it is true."
Ejima nodded his head and gave an affirmative answer.
She never liked to hide things like this.
It could even be said that on the contrary, she wished that someone would ask her.
After all, in a sense, this is one of the arguments that can prove the close relationship between her and the young master.
"Oh!"
Takizawa Kaoru's eyes lit up and his smile suddenly brightened.
At that time, she was the only one who thought the rumor was true, and her friends all said the rumor was false.
Now, all I can say is that she has the foresight!
"Then, I'll leave first~"
"Goodbye~"
After saying these words, Takizawa Kaoru waved her hand gracefully, walked back to her mother's side.
When this classmate walked away, Kitagawa Che retracted his gaze from watching her leave, and turned to look at Eshima Miao beside him.
And what a coincidence, Ejima Myoya did the same thing.
Four eyes facing each other.
The exchange of glances ended with Eshima Mya's chuckle.
"Why did the young master suddenly change his mind?"
Turning around, Myo Eshima raised her hand high and waved to the waiting female shopping guide.
They have already chosen, and the other party can come over and start the last process, pay the fee, leave the address, and collect her share of the performance.
"How could you admit our relationship in front of your classmates?"
Kitagawa Che followed Eshima Miao's meaning and asked a question.
"Well..." Myo Eshima put down her arm and asked casually, "The relationship between us should be that of master and servant, right?"
"Aren't they boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kitagawa Che frowned and corrected the girl's statement, "Or rather, a couple in the future."
"Hmm~"
After getting the answer she wanted, Eshima Myo raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and used her little finger to scratch Kitagawa Che's and her interlocked palms.
Play hard to get is used at times like this.
However, compared to the husband and wife mentioned by her young master, she personally preferred the name she called him that day, master, or, the head of the family~
"Hello, may I help you?"
The female shopping guide leaned forward lightly, stood in front of the two of them, smiled politely, and said this standardized opening sentence.
She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
She had been paying attention to the couple since the two young guests walked into the area she was responsible for, or rather, the area she was in charge of.
If the little girl hadn't expressed that she wanted to see it herself, she would have gone up to introduce it.
"We want this refrigerator." Myo Eshima turned around, pointed at the refrigerator behind her, and then added, "Already taken a look at it."
Mrs. Beichuan specifically taught her this when she was still alive.
For the sake of performance, some salesmen will conduct secondary sales after the customers have already chosen them. They will enumerate the shortcomings of some products that the customers are optimistic about and have done their homework, and then magnify them to promote more profitable products.
"I understand what you mean." The female shopping guide was a little bit dumbfounded, but her expression remained as usual. She nodded, turned around, and motioned for the two of them to follow her, "Please follow me."
Now that the items have been selected, all that remains is the process of payment and leaving an address.
Walking to the front desk, the female shopping guide completed a series of processes such as invoicing and registration with familiarity.
"The displayed product you just looked at will be delivered from the factory on the other side." The female shopping guide raised her eyebrows, with more thoughts in her eyes, "It will probably take... about a day.
"If it's fast, it can be delivered in the afternoon. If it's slow, it can be delivered tomorrow morning."
After stating the basic information, she gently pushed the POS machine in front of the two of them, "When receiving the goods, remember to check the corners of the refrigerator, and you can also look inside.
"If you encounter some existing bumps caused during transportation, remember to point it out on the spot, and we will replace it with a new one immediately."
Kitagawa Teru nodded thoughtfully, released the hand intertwined with Ejima Myo, took out his bank card, and swiped it on the POS machine, "What about the warranty?"
"The ten years here are theoretically enough."
The female shopping guide smiled slightly and said this.
Generally speaking, you may need to consider replacing home appliances after about five to eight years. There are definitely some that can last for ten years, but if there is a major problem by then, repairing it will definitely not be cost-effective. It's better to replace it directly.
"Ok."
Putting away the bank card, Beichuan Che nodded.
"Well, here's your receipt, please keep it."
After handing the receipt to Kitagawa Che with both hands, the female shopping guide took back the POS machine, and then took out a bag from under the table at the front desk, "This is a small gift for customers during the event time. Please take it."
"Oh! Thank you."
Ejima Miaozai took a look at the contents of the bag and put it away happily.
For her, the contents of the bag were very useful.
The gift is nothing else, but a simple cleaning tool for the refrigerator. This thing is not expensive, but it is quite practical.
In a sense, the person in charge of the home appliance section of Yuanchi Department Store did not try to fool people, and he really put a little thought into giving gifts.
"Then, let's go first."
"Guests please go slowly."
Putting the bill in his pocket, Ejima took Che Kitagawa's arm, and the two of them took steps and left the home appliance area.
What should be done today has been done, and the remaining time belongs to the two of them.
You can walk around alone and then have lunch.
