After deciding to give up, I became popular

"Okay..." Xia Chuanzou sighed, now he was completely out of ideas.

He only had these two of the more popular two-player games, the rest were single-player types, and he really couldn't think of what to do. He couldn't possibly run out and buy some now, could he? Hmm... maybe he could consider a digital version? But downloading would also take time...

"Don't worry about me, Zou can play alone, I'll just watch from the side," the angel suggested proactively, seeming to see Xia Chuanzou's concerns.

Originally, she had come to visit without notice, her purpose was simply to spend a relaxing weekend with Zou, what they did didn't matter at all, the key was being together.

"Okay..." Xia Chuanzou nodded, thinking that girls probably didn't like playing games.

Although being able to happily play games with a cute female friend was one of every boy's dreams, it couldn't be forced if it wasn't possible, just being watched from the side was also very satisfying.

So he took out another favorite cartridge and switched to a game called "Mario Maker 2."

As a Nintendo fanboy, its exclusive games were the reason for the existence of its associated product, the game console! The Zelda series, although replayable, was only suitable for slowly savoring alone, only the multiplayer battle mode like Mario's was the most watchable.

It was perfect for showing off his superb skills in front of a girl!

Games like Super Smash Bros. required too much skill, Xia Chuanzou might lose to others, but with Mario, relying on his understanding of various cunning creators, plus a little bit of luck, it was very likely that he could win, and then show a nonchalant look in front of the admiring angel... one of the ultimate dreams of boys would be directly realized!

Mario 2, start!

In the first game, Xia Chuanzou was careful and cautious, and after killing two enemies, he was robbed of the championship by a reckless man; in the second game, Xia Chuanzou went forward bravely but was bypassed by others; the third game was even more uncomfortable, purely a route selection map where he lost to a lucky player...

He just couldn't play it!

Not to mention those laggy games with bad internet, he didn't win a single victory even in very smooth games, he lost all of them.

He was so angry that he retired and logged off on the spot.

"Aren't you playing anymore?" Shiina Mahiru asked curiously, she thought the game was quite interesting.

"I'm not playing," Xia Chuanzou shook his head, the more he played, the more ashamed he felt, he was almost unable to lift his head in front of the angel.

He could kill everyone when he was alone, but he would screw up when a girl was watching... the world was hostile to him!

He just couldn't play anymore, for fear that his blood pressure would be raised again.

"Does Shiina want to try? It's okay if you don't know how, I'll teach you."

"Eh? I'll pass..." Shiina Mahiru shook her head.

She was a little tempted, but not because she could play the game, but because she could have Zou teach her how to play.

If he could teach her hand-in-hand... it would be best if she could sit in his arms... ugh!!!

"No, no, I'll pass!"

In short, she was very shy! Afraid that Zou would see her inner thoughts, the angel shook her head frantically, resolutely refusing.

"Okay," Xia Chuanzou nodded.

If they didn't play games, there was nothing else to do, they couldn't possibly drag the angel to watch anime or follow animation, could they?

He really wanted to do that, but Shiina definitely wouldn't like it...

"Or... shall we go out for a walk?" Xia Chuanzou suggested.

Girls should all like to go shopping, even Senior and Eriri were no exception, Shiina should also be happy to, right?

"Go out for a walk..." Shiina Mahiru thought for a moment and nodded.

Originally, her plan for today was to stay at home with Zou all day, but going out for a walk was also very nice, it felt like going on a date with her boyfriend...

"I, I'll go back and change my clothes first! Zou, don't peek!" The angel's face was red, looking a little embarrassed.

Not only did she have to change her clothes, but she also had to touch up her makeup a little, she couldn't embarrass Zou outside!

"I won't peek," Xia Chuanzou complained, thinking that the angel was really strange, sometimes she trusted him very much, able to doze off on his sofa, and sometimes she was very vigilant, always worried that he would invade her territory.

Were thirty-two transformations their specialty? It was weird enough.

050. A Date with the Angel

When he saw Shiina Mahiru again, she had changed into a pure white dress, and was wearing a small sun hat on her head. Under the warm sun, she looked like a real pure white angel, pure and beautiful.

"I, is it weird..." The small hands clenched into fists and pressed against her chest showed the unrest in their owner's heart.

"Of course not! Rather, it's very beautiful!" Xia Chuanzou shook his head frantically, he naturally wouldn't say the wrong thing, "It suits you, Shiina."

He didn't know how long he had rehearsed this set of words in private, but it had never come in handy, and today it finally came true.

"Ugh... thank you, Zou is also very handsome..." A blush appeared on the angel's pretty face, her heart filled with joy after being praised by her beloved.

Imprinting Zou's handsome image in her mind, coupled with his warm praise, her heart was filled with a constant flurry of deer.

Direct balls are too foul!

"Thank you..." Xia Chuanzou seemed a little embarrassed.

While waiting for the angel to change her clothes, he also went to change into casual clothes and tidy himself up a little.

Being casual and洒脱 was indeed individual, but if you didn't know how to tidy yourself up when going out with a girl, it wasn't casual anymore, but simply didn't care about the other person's feelings, or even a little rude.

"Does Shiina have any place she wants to go?"

Although it was Xia Chuanzou who took the initiative to make the suggestion, he didn't have any good ideas, after all, he usually just stayed at home alone studying or playing games, and didn't have any experience in living a fulfilling life.

"I'll listen to Zou, anywhere is fine," the angel shook her head, where they went didn't matter, the key was being with Zou.

"Then let's go to KITTE?" Xia Chuanzou thought for a moment and suggested.

KITTE Shopping Center is right next to Tokyo Station, and it's very convenient to take the train there. The first floor is the Tokyo Station Post Office, which also sells many interesting limited edition postcards and merchandise.

Although it's an old shopping mall, it's very popular, it's very big and beautiful inside, and there's also a museum exhibition hall, which is very suitable for friends to play together. If you're tired of playing, you can find a dessert shop or restaurant to sit down and rest for a while before you can set off again.

In short, it's very suitable for killing time, and it's easy to find yourself getting dark while shopping.

The angel naturally had no objections and nodded happily.

They were silent all the way.

When they arrived at the mall and casually strolled around for a while, Shiina Mahiru was attracted by a cat cafe called "Meow Meow Meow."

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Xia Chuanzou suggested.

The angel hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head.

"Let's forget it, it's not good to go in with my current outfit..."

Not only was her hair not tied up, but she was also wearing a white dress, which could easily get dirty. The cats were very cute, but if she got her dress dirty, Zou might dislike her...

"Hmm... then let's come again if we have the chance next time," Xia Chuanzou didn't force it.

Although he liked cats very much, if he went in specifically to suck cats, he would feel like he was betraying "Xiao Xue." It had been a long time since he had seen her.

The two of them strolled around for a while, first visiting the museum, and then buying some desserts to take with them.

"Those exhibits were very interesting, but it's a pity that we can't take pictures to commemorate them..." the angel looked regretful.

"There's nothing we can do, it's the exhibition area's regulations," Xia Chuanzou comforted, "If you don't think it's enough, you can come and see it again next time."

"Will Zou accompany me next time too?"

"Of course."

"But I feel like you don't like it very much..." Shiina Mahiru hesitated, she was very interested in those introductions of cultural relics, but Zou looked uninterested, he was just simply willing to accompany her...

"Hmm... I'm mainly not very interested in those..." Xia Chuanzou replied softly.

"..." The angel didn't reply.

Although she could foresee Zou's unhappy appearance, she had no idea how to comfort him.

The two of them walked in silence like this, without the same excitement as when they came.

Until a corner, an accident occurred—the two of them collided with a running little boy.

"Wow! I'm, I'm sorry!"

Understanding that he had caused trouble, the little rascal immediately stood up and apologized to the two of them, and his mother, who was behind him, also ran up quickly and apologized to the two of them.

"I'm sorry! It's all my child's fault, please forgive me! I will compensate you for all the losses, I'm very sorry!"

Xia Chuanzou was just about to take over the conversation when Shiina Mahiru spoke first, "It's okay, it's also my own fault, you don't have to worry about it."

Then the angel squatted down and touched the little boy's head with tears in his eyes.

"You can't run around anymore in the future, it will cause trouble for others."

"I know, thank you, big sister."

After refusing the other party's compensation, the two found a nearby bench to sit down and rest.

Xia Chuanzou then took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the stains on the angel's skirt.

However, the things that were stained were not easy to clean, but the remains of ice cream. It was summer, and the ice cream melted quickly, and in a short while, it had opened a dyeing workshop on the pure white skirt, colorful and completely unable to be cleaned.

"Do you want to go back?" Xia Chuanzou suggested.

Although the angel didn't say it, this dress must be her cherished clothes, he had never seen her wear it before, it would be fake to say that she didn't care, he should quickly wear it back and wash it, there might still be hope.

"It's okay, it's just a little stain, Zou, don't make such a fuss," Shiina Mahiru shook her head.

Looking at Zou gently wiping the stains on her skirt, she knew that Zou didn't dislike her at all, the skirt didn't matter at all, the key was not to disturb their "date."

"But we can't just walk around wearing it like this..." Xia Chuanzou frowned.

If it was just a spot, it would be fine, but the current situation was completely patches of stains, and they were irregularly spreading to the hem of the skirt, completely impossible to see people.

For girls, neat and beautiful clothes are their second face, Shiina might be forcing herself to worry about his feelings, but he couldn't really completely ignore her thoughts.

"I have a way... come with me," Xia Chuanzou pondered for a moment, and soon had an idea, he took Shiina Mahiru's hand and moved without saying a word.

"Wow!" The angel was startled, but the warmth of her palm instantly captured her thoughts, so she obediently followed behind Xia Chuanzou.

The brim of her hat was gradually lowered, and the shyness in her heart was exposed on her face, not daring to show it to the person in front of her at all.

Zou, he's so forceful...

051. You're Very Cunning, Xia Chuanjun

"Okay, go in quickly," Xia Chuanzou urged, he took Shiina Mahiru to the front of a women's clothing store.

It didn't matter if she didn't want to go back like this, as long as she changed her clothes, the dirty skirt that she took off could also be kept and handled by a laundry, and the cost wouldn't be too high.

"You go in by yourself, if you need anything, just find the clerk, I'll wait for you outside."

After all, it was completely aimed at female customers, and there were also swimsuits and underwear for sale inside, it wasn't appropriate for him, a man, to go in. It was a pity that he didn't see any men's gathering places nearby.

Otherwise, he could also exchange "dating" tips and tricks with them, or... hobbies between boys?

"Hmm..." Shiina Mahiru nodded and responded softly.

Xia Chuanzou took out his phone and waited patiently outside, and after a while, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

So fast? Xia Chuanzou was stunned, thinking that it would take a long time for girls to pick clothes, right?

However, when he looked up, he found that it was not the angel who was approaching, but two defeated mature strange women.

"Little brother, are you alone?"

"If you have time, how about having a cup of tea together?"

"..."
