"Suit yourself!"

When a girl says these two words to a guy, it is often seen as a bad sign.

Wang Xiaole also knew what these three words meant, but he remembered the "reverse speculation" he had verified before and interpreted it as the opposite message.

"That's fine!"

He believed that these four words should best represent the mood of a girl at the moment.

Seeing the date walking into the store from the corner of his eye, he completely relaxed.

After that, he turned around and immediately headed to where he wanted to go.

At this moment, the knights following behind the two had been shocked into speechlessness by the "honest expression" of the two bosses.

They were prepared to suddenly show up when the two were close to kissing and fulfill their duty of being the "head-kissing task force";

But they had not expected the current turn of events.

The people who were following them were getting anxious at this moment;

But the two being followed had different thoughts.

"Boss, I want the kind that is white and soft."

Wang Xiaole had a purely shopping mentality.

"Waiter, bring me a cup of each of the new drinks served here."

Ye Chuxue had an urge to vent, planning to relieve stress by drinking wildly.

Did the two go to the wrong place?

Indeed!

Wang Xiaole did not go to the tavern that many men liked, and Ye Chuxue did not show her girly side by going to the jewelry store popular with young girls.

The choices of these two were basically the opposite of typical male-female date objects.

If you talk about not looking the part, these two were almost the same, and no one could make fun of each other.

"The things you wanted, sir!"

"The drinks you wanted, miss!"

As the people in the store brought out the goods, the two individuals from different locations twisted their faces in succession.

"Wait, is this what I wanted?"

"Hold on, I didn't order this drink, miss."

What the boss handed to Wang Xiaole was a pair of lifelike white dragon wings;

While the waiter brought to Ye Chuxue six new fruit juice flavors and a highly acclaimed pure milk.

"Did you misunderstand what I meant? I wanted something white and soft..."

The boss had a "I didn't do anything wrong" expression as she explained to the customer:

"This item is white, and unlike the hard material dragon wings we usually offer, it is made of very soft material that is guaranteed to be soft and comfortable to touch."

Wang Xiaole realized his mistake and shouldn't have been so careless in his wording. Now he corrected his previous statement:

"I wanted cat ear or cat tail accessories!"

The boss then understood, and the experienced businessperson immediately said:

"We don't carry any cat-themed accessories here. Those kind of products don't sell well in our area, so I stopped stocking them a long time ago."

Every country's market is different.

If it were in Dibiles, Wang Xiaole could just say a few vague words to the boss, and the latter would immediately understand his request and bring out a satisfactory product.

But in the Kingdom of Achima, the geographical location of the country may be in the Western Continent, but the locals are very interested in the "White Dragon Legend" from the Eastern Continent;

Because of this, dragon-related products sell very well, and the number of enthusiasts who play as white dragons domestically is far greater than those who prefer catgirls or doggirls.

Wang Xiaole suffered from not having the right intelligence and ended up entering a shop he shouldn't have.

Now he planned to leave, but it was too late.

Just as he turned back, he heard a loud noise as the floor was smashed;

When he turned back, he saw the boss, over forty years old, rolling around on the ground.

"I don't care, I don't care! Even if you are an important customer, you can't just come to my store without buying anything you like. You have to buy something today!"

With the boss acting this way, Wang Xiaole felt embarrassed to leave easily.

Seeing that the boss had abandoned all dignity, he took out his wallet and bought the dragon wings that he didn't like, and before leaving, he heard the enthusiastic voice of the boss:

"Please come again next time."

On the other hand, in the tavern, Ye Chuxue also ended up buying the milk she didn't like because of her subconscious habit of ordering.

Her original intention was just to have a few glasses of fruit juice, and buying this unexpected product was not something she desired.

To soothe her wounded heart, she drank six large cups of beverages in one go;

But she didn't know what to do with the remaining cup of milk until the moment she walked out of the tavern.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Wang Xiaole, who was also feeling down, walked out.

Two people eager to get rid of something in their hands noticed the person standing in front of them at the same time and had the same idea.

"This is for you!" Times two

Ye Chuxue never drank milk, while Wang Xiaole had always enjoyed this type of beverage, especially as he got older. Feeling a bit thirsty, Ye Chuxue's act of giving the gift came at the perfect time for him.

Liking or disliking something doesn't necessarily correspond to others' interests.

Similarly, the dragon wings Wang Xiaole had no interest in were exactly the kind of "treasure" that Ye Chuxue enjoyed collecting.

"Is this a limited edition merchandise related to the 'White Dragon Legend' or is it authentic? I didn't expect this country in the Western Continent to start selling them so soon."

Like most people from the Eastern Continent, Ye Chuxue had a special affection for that legend, and collecting such items was one of the few interests she would spend money on.

Since it was a product he didn't care for, Wang Xiaole found it hard to empathize with such feelings. At most, he could only complain in his heart:

Forget it!

The people selling these goods were at best, offering unofficial merchandise, right?

Of course, considering it's a legend from hundreds of years ago, in reality, there isn't a single official merchandise store in the world today if we want to be strict about it.

Wang Xiaole saw through the truth quite clearly, but thankfully, he wasn't foolish enough to blurt out his thoughts or deliberately ruin someone else's excitement.

More than whether it was a knockoff, he was now more curious about:

"I never mentioned that I was thirsty. How did Xiaoye know to get me a drink?"

Wang Xiaole casually asked this, not expecting a response but would be fine whether he got one or not.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener interprets it otherwise.

Only then did Ye Chuxue realize that she had just carried out an act of giving, and it happened during a date.

"It's, it's like this. I wanted to have a few glasses of the latest fruit juice flavors, but unfortunately, the waiter misunderstood and brought me milk."

It was true that she didn't like to drink milk, but she didn't give away the drink with the mindset of "disposing of troublesome things";

Similar to a guy inviting a girl out early in the morning to play and giving her a set of Chinese pancakes and fritters as breakfast;

There are certain similarities between these two actions.

"I never drink milk, but it would be a waste to throw it away, so I can only give it to you, Xiaojun."

She didn't want the other person to misunderstand, so she deliberately added this sentence to prove that she didn't think too much when giving the gift, and the gift itself didn't have any special meaning.

She could rest assured because Wang Xiaole didn't analyze her behavior at all.

She was a bit insincere, but the other person was different, as he just said whatever came to mind:

"My situation is the same! I wanted to buy something, but the store was all out of it;

The boss also didn't allow me to just look around, so I was forced to buy this thing I don't like, and I thought it best to give it to Xiaoye."

Listen to that, what do you call honesty?

Based on his recent actions, Wang Xiaole proved that he fully understood the meaning of that word and inadvertently lowered the slightly improved goodwill between them.

In a normal situation, the girl would be attracted by the boy's one virtue and would awkwardly try to find some common ground to identify with him;

After that, for reasons unknown, the two would hold hands.

This would have been a scene that the knights would have liked to see, but unfortunately, what they wanted didn't always happen.

"..."

Silence was Ye Chuxue's normal response.

How does that saying go again?

No business, no

---Err! Wrong, it's "No expectations, no disappointments."

Receiving a gift at first, Ye Chuxue's "girly logic" turned on, making her involuntarily think about many things.

She thought the other person had actually researched her likes and preferences;

She believed the other person specially bought this gift for her.

At the moment of receiving the gift, she even began to think:

Maybe the indirect confession before was not just talk...

"Let's go."

After a slightly heavy atmosphere lasted for some time, Ye Chuxue was still the first to speak;

However, unlike before, her attitude had changed slightly, as the second half of the sentence explained:

"Tomorrow is another day, let's not stay out too late."

If we interpret it as:

At the beginning of the "confession," the girl was prepared to enjoy the date fully;

Then, from that moment onwards, her view of the date became merely a "task that must be completed."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be thinking about when to return home before the date even ended.

While walking on the street, the girl couldn't help but ponder:

Why did Xiaojun become more indifferent toward her after the confession?

The more she thought about it, the question morphed into:

Does Xiaojun, who maintains this attitude, really like her in the true sense of the word?

Finally, the target of her confusion shifted, from not understanding the other person to not understanding herself.

Leaving Xiaojun aside, what are her own thoughts? Does she really like him?

As the girl attempts to understand her true feelings at this moment, it marks a crucial turning point in their relationship.

Upgrading from "not dislike" to "liking" transforms the fake relationship into a real one silently?

Or shattering all expectations directly, letting the mood stay at "below romance," or even "below friendship" levels?

Everything will be clear tonight.
