After deciding to give up, I became popular

Does he look like someone who would do that? Xia Chuanzou was a little puzzled. Normally, a boy standing still outside a women's clothing store must be waiting for his female companion, right? It couldn't be that he looks like the kind of person who hunts women traveling alone?

But even though he thought so, he still politely refused, "No, I'm waiting for someone..."

The next second, his arm was suddenly encircled.

Turning his head, he saw that the angel-sama, who should have been picking clothes in the store, had suddenly appeared beside him for some reason, still wearing the dress she had come in.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go." Before she finished speaking, she pulled his arm and walked away without explanation.

"..."

Couldn't find a style she liked? Or did she just want to help him out of the situation? It couldn't be that she was jealous, worried that he would be deceived...?

But no matter what the reason, it did help, and he really couldn't handle that kind of scene.

"Is it okay?"

"Hmm? What is Zou referring to..." Shiina Mahiru turned her head, looking a little puzzled, then thought for a while, and became angry again, "Did I accidentally disturb Zou's good time? I'm so sorry..."

"Why would you think of such a thing..." Xia Chuanzou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He would definitely not agree to that kind of approach... at least that's what he thinks now. "I'm worried about you. Is it okay not to change your clothes?"

"It's okay..." Shiina Mahiru shook her head. Although she was a little concerned, when she considered the possibility that someone might suddenly snatch him away while she was seriously choosing clothes that Zou would like, she immediately felt that the skirt being dirty was not a problem at all.

As the saying goes, after having a sweetheart, a girl's battlefield becomes how to continuously attract his attention! Compared to making everyone think she is beautiful, it is definitely more important to make the person she likes think she is beautiful!

If she overthinks strategies and causes the main character to run away, she will have no place to cry.

"Zou, let's go back." Shiina Mahiru suggested, feeling that she was a little unlucky today. She didn't know what to do at home, but it was unfavorable to go out to play.

She always felt that nothing good would happen if she continued to stay, so she might as well go back and play games with Zou.

Xia Chuanzou was about to respond, but his attention was diverted by a sudden sweet voice.

"Xia Chuan-kun..." Ms. Kato, who was always calm and composed, suddenly appeared in front of the two. She tilted her head slightly, her curious eyes seeming to explore the relationship between the two, "Are you two on a date?"

Dating generally refers to the act of two people making an appointment to meet, which originally did not contain any special affection, but now it is often used to refer to a man and a woman traveling together...

For Xia Chuanzou, this should also be considered a date, but when he looked back at the angel-sama, he found that she had a look of embarrassment.

"..." Xia Chuanzou understood what she meant, so he explained, "No, we just happened to run into each other."

Shiina Mahiru had always reminded him not to reveal their unique relationship in front of classmates, and he remembered it, so he did so.

The movements of the two seemed a little intimate, so Xia Chuanzou told Kato what had just happened, stating that the angel-sama just wanted to help him out of the situation and had no other thoughts.

After saying all this, when he looked at Shiina again, he found that she still looked a little uneasy, so Xia Chuanzou understood that she was still a little worried, so he softly comforted, "Don't worry, classmate Kato is not a gossipy person and won't spread it around."

The angel-sama looked up at him, didn't speak, but the hand pulling his sleeve used a little more force.

"..."

It seems that Shiina still needs more reassurance...

"Kato, are you free now?"

"Yes, I am."

Xia Chuanzou nodded, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he invited her to join them, thinking of finding a place to explain some things clearly...

Inside a dessert shop.

Xia Chuanzou put his hands together, his attitude very sincere.

"In short, that's how it is. I hope Kato can hide it for us and not spread it around."

With the angel-sama's permission, they brought Kato to this dessert shop, told her the fact that the two were neighbors, and explained their "friend" relationship of helping each other. Other more complicated things like "being rejected after confessing" and "eating together" were not mentioned.

A believable lie must have a part that is true. Kato is an understanding and good child, so she probably won't do anything to destroy their relationship.

"Xia Chuan-kun is so cunning, he actually tricked me into eating your dessert..." Kato scooped a spoonful of dessert into her mouth, carefully tasting its sourness, looking a little absent-minded.

If you take someone's things, you'll be soft-handed, and if you eat someone's food, you'll be short-mouthed. Now she can't do anything... but it doesn't matter, she didn't intend to do something that would benefit others in the first place.

"Because Kato is a good child, and not good at refusing others." Xia Chuanzou teased, but he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He still knew Kato Megumi quite well, knowing that if he asked her for help with all his might, she would definitely agree to his request, and even coaxed her into accepting his bribe...

I'm sorry, Miss Kato, I'll make it up to you later...

Shiina Mahiru, who was on the side, looked enviously at the interaction between the two, unable to get a word in.

She naturally understood that Zou was solving problems for the two of them, but that was just her previous thought. Now, it's okay not to explain so actively...

052. Ugly Possessiveness

"Did Kato come out to play alone?"

"Um...sort of. Originally, I was going to come with Eriri, but she had something to do temporarily and said she couldn't come."

"That guy..." Looking at Kato's calm and composed appearance, Xia Chuanzou couldn't help feeling unfair for her.

Get a little angry, will you? You've been stood up!

But it is precisely because this is Kato that she can tolerate Eriri's awkward true personality and become one of her few friends. If the person being stood up was Kasumigaoka-senpai, she would probably rush to her house and start spraying five times a second...

"Kato, do you have any other plans for later? We're probably going back..." Xia Chuanzou asked tentatively.

The misunderstanding has been cleared up, so naturally everyone will do their own thing. Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with being with Kato, he didn't come out alone today, so he definitely had to take care of Shiina's thoughts beside him.

A friend's friend is not my friend. If you don't understand this, it's easy to cause conflicts between the two sides, especially for him as the middleman, he will become an outsider.

"Regarding the next arrangement... can you listen to my request?" Kato put down the spoon in her hand and looked at Shiina Mahiru, who had been silent, as if asking for her opinion.

"... Um." The angel-sama was stunned, then nodded lightly.

She didn't expect to be spoken to, what could it be...

...

Xia Chuanzou, who witnessed the whole process, is now very confused.

At this moment, he was standing on the periphery of the women's clothing store he had visited before, in the same position as before, even his posture had not changed at all.

Just now, after eating the dessert, Kato pulled Shiina and said something, and the two went all the way towards this side, and he was forced to follow, which reminded him of the club activities back then, but at that time it was Eriri pulling Kato to choose clothes, now it was Kato pulling Shiina... Does the angel-sama also need to show her charm?

What made Xia Chuanzou even more curious was what Kato said in Shiina's ear...

"Xia Chuan-kun, aren't you going in?"

"Eh? I'll pass..." Xia Chuanzou was stunned, then refused repeatedly.

He's a man, he definitely can't go into this kind of store.

As if seeing through his concerns, Kato said softly, "It's okay, I've already asked the shop assistant, she said it's okay."

"When choosing clothes, a boy's eyes are definitely more important, right?"

The angel-sama on the side also nodded frequently, completely not wanting to leave Zou outside to be approached by bad aunties.

"..."

Xia Chuanzou was helpless, and glanced at the shop assistant not far away, finding her with a bright smile, so he silently agreed.

Don't look at him with no emotion on the surface, but in reality, he is constantly comforting himself in his heart.

It's just a specialty store, although there are underwear and swimsuits, as long as you don't look at that side, there is no problem at all... probably.

The other female customers are also quite kind, and didn't make a big fuss when they saw him, a boy, coming in, at most they just pointed and whispered something.

Xia Chuanzou simply lowered his head and kept playing with his phone, pretending he couldn't hear anything.

However, it was still like living a year.

"Xia Chuan-kun, it's done."

Not knowing how long it had been, a clear voice rang out, like the last bell before school on Friday evening, instantly relieving Xia Chuanzou.

Looking up, the refreshed angel-sama suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing a black Lolita-style dress, the white pantyhose on her feet had been replaced with semi-hollow black silk at some point, a few black roses were embroidered on her full chest, a small black bonnet on her head, her whole body was wrapped in dark colors, leaving only the symbolic golden hair and a touch of white at the hem of the skirt.

Unable to resist the temptation and erosion of darkness, she finally gradually degenerated from a pure white angel into a fallen angel... How could he have such a fantasy?

But I have to say, the current Dark Queen Angel-sama is far more shocking than her in pure white, she is the kind of existence that makes people want to crawl under her skirt at first glance...

"Xia Chuan-kun, your eyes are staring straight."

"They're still round, round, and my nose hasn't gotten bigger..." His little thoughts were exposed, and Xia Chuanzou quickly retorted.

Thank goodness, he was almost seen through his dangerous thoughts...

"Zou, Zou... do, do you think it looks good..." Shiina Mahiru looked nervous, her whole body a little unnatural.

This was the first time she had worn such bold and fancy clothes, and she didn't expect that she would really wear them out on a whim... so shy!

Xia Chuanzou naturally praised her to the skies: "It looks very good! If full marks are 100, I can give it 200!"

There is no need to be stingy with free praise, especially the angel-sama in this outfit is really, really good-looking, and he wouldn't be afraid of her being proud if he praised her as 200% cute!

Of course, while praising Shiina, he didn't forget to look at Kato, but what he saw was Miss Kato who hadn't changed at all.

"?" Xia Chuanzou was stunned, looked at Kato who was blocked by the shy fallen angel, and asked curiously, "Isn't Kato going to change her clothes?"

"Eh~, does Xia Chuan-kun want to have two beauties in his arms?" Kato tilted her head, her eyes suddenly becoming a little sharp.

"What is all this about." Xia Chuanzou shook his head, a little dumbfounded. He felt that since Miss Kato joined the club, she could often say some strange lines, was she also becoming an otaku under the influence of everyone?

"Just curious."

"I'll pass, today this child is the main character." Kato pulled Shiina Mahiru, who was hiding behind her, and said meaningfully, "You have to keep an eye on her."

I don't know who she was talking to, but it was very useful, and the fallen angel finally raised her head.

"..."

Although she still couldn't say a word, and her delicate body trembled violently, her hard work was still recognized by the other two.

"Speaking of which, Shiina... you're not going to wear this out, are you?" Xia Chuanzou suddenly realized.

The reason they came to buy clothes was because Shiina's original clothes were dirty, thinking of directly changing into a set on the spot, but this outfit... looks good, but precisely because it is too eye-catching, he doesn't want her to wear it out like this.

If they happened to meet someone who couldn't help but chat with Shiina, and the angel-sama happened to fancy the other person...

No, based on his understanding of Shiina, that kind of thing would never happen, the fallen angel would definitely reject them harshly, just like he did back then.

However, even though he knew that this was the case, Xia Chuanzou's heart still couldn't help but surge with a burst of stinging pain, and the discomfort and dullness in his chest did not decrease at all due to rational thinking, but became more and more real.

Ugly possessiveness...

"Xia Chuan-kun, if you have something to say, you should say it properly, whether it's praise or something else."

At some point, Miss Kato had already appeared beside him, and the angel-sama on the side was also looking at him with concern.

"..." After a long silence, Xia Chuanzou slowly uttered a word:

"Sorry."

Then Xia Chuanzou took a deep breath and slowly said to Shiina Mahiru: "Shiina... can you change into something else?"

"It's not that I don't think it looks good, it's just that I don't want you to wear it out like this..."

"I know my request is a bit sudden, but still..."

I still want to say it, along with the guilt in my heart...

"Yes, of course." Shiina Mahiru nodded hastily, she didn't like wearing such clothes in the first place, so she readily agreed when Zou suggested it.

"Is everything okay?" Kato cast a concerned look.

"Yes, thank you Kato..." Xia Chuanzou forced a smile.

"..."

Kato Megumi pursed her lips, looked at Xia Chuanzou who seemed to be fine, and sighed in her heart.
