v14 Chapter 7: chance encounter

"Please help me wrap this tableware!"

After repeated selections, Lin Xiuyi and Mingmei finally chose a set of tableware that suits their hearts as Sakin and Mie's wedding gift. After explaining her needs to the shopping guide at Hermes House, the other party carefully packed the set of tableware in the gift box in the store, and then led Lin Xiuyi and Mingmei to the cashier to pay.

"Hello, welcome to the Hermès home, the price of the set of tableware you purchased is 99,000 yen!"

After hearing the price, Lin Xiuyi thought it was a little expensive, but he still took out ten 10,000-yen bills from his wallet with a calm expression and handed them to the other party. After the other party took the fee from Lin Xiuyi with both hands, he opened the cash register and took out a 1,000 yen bill and returned it to Lin Xiuyi.

"This is your change and receipt, thank you for your love for the Hermès House, and look forward to your next visit!"

……

When the clerk here helped Lin Xiu get the tableware to the door, he first helped Lin Xiuyi and Mingmei to open the door, and then handed the tableware back to Lin Xiuyi. Just when the other party bowed to say goodbye to Lin Xiuyi and Mingmei, A pair of familiar figures just happened to come to the door of the Hermès house at this time.

"Ah... Shuichi-kun? What a coincidence!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's name being called out, Mingmei quickly turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice, but suddenly found a woman with an extraordinary temperament and a fair-skinned, blond foreign woman with a surprised look He walked towards Lin Xiuyi.

"Uh, Lifan, Miss Catherine, good evening!"

"I didn't expect to meet you here, does Xiuyi-kun also live nearby?"

"No, because I have to attend a friend's wedding in a few days, so I made a special trip to buy a set of tableware as a wedding gift for the other party..."

"Oh……"

……

Li Fan noticed that there was a lady standing beside Lin Xiuyi, although the mask he was wearing covered most of his face. But Li Fan could see from the other's eyebrows that the person standing beside Lin Xiuyi should be a very young woman.

"Who is this……"

"Ah...she's my girlfriend, Akimi-chan! Since I happen to be free tonight, let's stop by and have a look! Akimi-chan, this is Riho Kirishima, my high school classmate, and this guy standing next to him is here. One is Miss Catherine, Lifan's friend."

Hearing this girlfriend from Lin Xiuyi's own mouth, Li Fan's face could not help flashing a hint of surprise, but she concealed it with a good smile. At this moment, Mingmei took the initiative to greet her and said:

"Please take care of me when we meet for the first time, I'm Shuichi-kun's girlfriend Akemi!"

"Well... please take care of me, I'm Liho, a former classmate of Shuichi-kun! Um... do you want to go in and sit for a while and have a drink together!"

"Eh……?"

Hearing the other party's invitation, Mingmei turned her head somewhat uncertainly and looked at Lin Xiuyi. Lin Xiuyi hesitated for a moment, and felt that since he was a familiar classmate in the past, it would not be good to refuse in person, so he nodded and said to Li Fan:

"It's rare for everyone to meet again, so let's have a drink together!"

……

Seeing that the customers who were about to go out came back to the store with their friends, the shopping guide in the store greeted them warmly. When she learned that several customers wanted to sit down and have a drink, the shopping guide took them to the coffee shop on the second floor, and then offered the menu here.

Because it is a coffee shop in the Hermès store, there are only a few drinks such as coffee, champagne and juice, but there are many exquisite chocolates and desserts to choose from.

"That...Shushi-kun and Mingmei, should you try the champagne here? Although it's an alcoholic drink, the taste is quite soft. It's the perfect match for the chocolate here!"

"Uh...that! I'll forget about drinks and desserts. I'll just sit here with Shuichi-kun for a while."

Hearing Li Fan's warm invitation, Mingmei could only embarrassedly reject the other's kindness. Considering that if you eat, you will have to take off the mask on your face. Although it is a bit rude to wear a mask all the time and refuse to show your true face, Mingmei has no other choice.

"Uh... Isn't this place not quite to your taste! Or..."

"Don't bother, Miss Liho! Akimi-chan has been feeling a little uncomfortable in the last few days, probably because she's afraid of affecting everyone!"

Seeing that Li Fan, who was rejected by Mingmei, was a little embarrassed, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly made a sound, and Ekaterina, who was sitting next to him, also asked Lin Xiuyi in English because she couldn't understand why Mingmei was wearing a mask all the time. stand up.

"I'm sorry, what happened to that little girl, why is she wearing a mask all the time?"

"That... I'm sorry! I'm a little uncomfortable, so I hope you don't mind!"

Mingmei was a little embarrassed to explain to Lifan and Ekaterina in English, and then bowed her head to express her apology.

Perhaps it was out of the heart of helping Mingmei out of the siege! Lin Xiuyi didn't choose the coffee he liked as usual, but ordered a glass of champagne and special chocolates like Lifan and the others. After everything was ready, Lin Xiuyi raised his glass to touch Lifan and Ekaterina, and then tasted the champagne here.

A refreshing champagne, paired with a special dark chocolate in the store. Although this combination is more suitable for women, Lin Xiuyi, who tasted this flavor for the first time, was really surprised. Who says men don't like sweets? It feels really good to eat once in a while!

"By the way, last time I heard Shuichi-kun say that he seems to be working in the Metropolitan Police Department. Excuse me... Is Miss Mingmei also a police officer?"

"Uh... Mingmei's occupation, how do you say it? It should be considered as working in a TV station!"

"Haha... Yes! The last job can really be regarded as working for a TV station!"

Hearing that Lin Xiuyi was trying to smooth things out for him, Mingmei also felt embarrassed to go along with it. Li Fan wanted to know more about Lin Xiuyi's current situation, so he asked Lin Xiuyi a lot about him and Mingmei. However, because of Mingmei's identity, Lin Xiuyi always showed some restraints.

Because of Mingmei's presence, this conversation did not make Lifan feel much surprise after reuniting with his former classmates. Lifan even felt that he had a feeling of being rejected and rejected. After drinking a glass of wine~lightnovelpub.net~ Lin Xiuyi got up and planned to check out, but Lifan declined Lin Xiuyi's payment on the grounds that he had a membership here and could get more discounts. After the payment came back, Li Fan and Ekaterina sent Lin Xiuyi and Ming Mei out of the store again...

Seeing that the man he once admired already has someone he loves, and he has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards his enthusiasm. Li Fan's heart was still somewhat sad. Just when everyone was about to part, Li Fan said to Lin Xiuyi with a little reluctance:

"I'm really happy to see Xiuyi-kun and Mingmei-chan tonight. In fact, I just came back from abroad. I'm currently staying with Ekaterina in a hotel nearby. If there is a chance in the future, I hope everyone Being able to keep in touch often, um... this is the chocolate we tasted just now, it would be a pity if Akemi-chan didn't taste it because of her health, so... please don't be rude!"

While talking, Li Fan smiled diligently and took out a small Hermès bag from her handbag and gave it to Ming Mei. Ming Mei looked at the enthusiastic Li Fan in surprise, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of her rude behavior just now. up.

"That... I'm so sorry! Actually, I didn't wear a mask all the time today because I was sick!"

"Eh?"

Hearing that Mingmei suddenly apologized to herself, Lifan felt very surprised.
