67 Irreconcilable with Consumerism

◎The undercurrent from death◎

"Hahaha, Boss, you have a really good memory..."

Apart from gritting her teeth and laughing awkwardly, Chihoko Hanano could not find any other way to get away with it decently.

The boss, however, showed an expression that showed he understood Hanano Chihoko very well. "Are you trying something new again?"

Chihoko Hanano remembered the medicine she had just taken yesterday and immediately refused.

The boss was a little disappointed, but suddenly he remembered something and rummaged through his pile of prizes.

Then, he suddenly stopped and held the prize in his hand in front of Hanano Chiheko: "What a fate! I found it again."

Looking at the rabbit-ear hat in front of her, which was exactly the same as the one she had bought before, Chihoko Hanano was rarely surprised for a moment.

The boss continued, "Don't you feel a little moved when you see this hat?"

I have to say that the boss must have some sales skills to have been able to run this stall for so long.

Chihoko Hanano walked forward and touched the furry texture of the hat. She remembered the time when Keimitsu Morofushi helped her last year and felt a little nostalgic.

In the blink of an eye, we are about to say goodbye.

Hanano Chiheko murmured, "I'm really moved, but..."

Chihoko Hanano looked at the rows of balloons hanging on the board with a hesitant look on her face.

The boss's eyes rolled, clearly understanding the situation. He immediately said, "They're all regular customers. Since you're really interested, we have a promotion today. You can skip the shooting and go straight to the gift."

"So good!" Chihoko Hanano was really attracted and finally got the beautiful rabbit.

Pastry School, third floor.

Zhu Fujingguang wore a small white hat specially used by pastry chefs and carefully taught the relevant knowledge and operating details to the students below.

"Okay, that's all for today. get out of class dismissed."

Zhu Fujingguang saw off the students one by one.

“Teacher, teacher!”

An anxious voice sounded from behind Zhu Fu Jingguang. This voice...

Zhu Fu Jingguang had a flash of thought, and when he turned around, the first thing that caught his eye was not a person, but... a furry rabbit-ear hat.

"Jiangjiang!"

The rabbit ears in front of me were swaying back and forth, looking very lively.

Zhu Fushi Jingguang immediately smiled and took Hanano Chihezi's hand, "Wako-chan's way of appearing is always so unexpected."

"Hehe, that's right." Hanano Chiheko said, and then turned her eyes and asked Zhufu Jingguang: "Jingguang, do you think it's cute?"

In Zhu Fushi Jingguang's mind, the image of Hanano Chiheko wearing it involuntarily emerged, and he subconsciously replied: "Of course."

"Then..." Hanano Chiheko took advantage of Morifushi Keimitsu's inattention and quickly put the hat on Morifushi Keimitsu's head.

By the time Zhu Fu Jingguang reacted, it was too late.

Zhu Fu Jingguang blushed immediately and wanted to reach out to take it off.

Hanano Chiheko wouldn't let Morofushi Keimitsu get his wish so easily. She pulled Morofushi Keimitsu's hand down and looked at the hat carefully. "Hmm...it's really cute~ As expected, cute hats are suitable for cute boys."

Zhu Fujingguang was surprised for a moment when he heard this. Hezi was praising him...

With this realization, Morofushi Kagemitsu stopped his attempt to resist and let Hanano Chihoko adjust the angle of her hat.

"Trust me, it's really beautiful!" Hanano Chiheko continued to sell it, "I just bought it from a stall I passed by. Since it's meant to be with you, I might as well give it to you."

Only then did Zhu Fushi Jingguang realize that the hat was not Hanano Chiheko's original one. He immediately lowered his eyes and nodded obediently, "I will keep it well."

"Hey, okay." The more Hanano Chiheko looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu and the hat, the more she looked at him. She couldn't help but take out her phone, "Let's take a selfie then."

"Ah?...Okay then." Faced with Hanano Chiheko's wild ideas, although Morufushi Kagemitsu did not understand, he actively cooperated.

With a "click", the photo was taken, and Chihoko Hanano happily showed it to Keimitsu Morufushi.

Hanano Chihoko is a very good photographer, and Morofushi Keimitsu looked at himself in the photo wearing a bunny ear hat and thought it was really interesting...

Zhu Fushi Jingguang thought of something and looked at Hanano Chihezi, "By the way, how come you have time to come here?"

"It's a change of season, and I wanted to go to the mall to buy some clothes. Since your class is almost over, I came to check on Master Zhufu's progress."

"Welcome Hezi-chan to come and give us your guidance."

Zhu Fushigami smiled and said, seeing Hanano Chiheko was alone, "I have some free time now. Do you need a shopping partner? I'd be happy to help."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Someone brought a pillow to Hanano Chiheko just when she was feeling sleepy.

When the two arrived at the Mika Shopping Mall, they were really surprised by the huge crowds of people.

The crowd inside was packed. Hanano Chiheko, holding the milk tea she had just bought, dodged left and right under the cover of Morofushi Kagemitsu. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone out today. It would have been so nice to just lie down at home."

Chihoko Hanano expressed the above sentiment after being "elbowed" by a third person.

"It's okay. We'll just have to come out after we buy clothes." Zhu Fu Jingguang comforted.

“I hope I can get out by then.”

Hanano Chiheko nodded helplessly. Although she said so, but... today's situation was indeed a bit strange.

At this time, a wave of people suddenly crowded around Chiheko Hanano.

The crowd suddenly became like a slashing sword, instantly separating Hanano Chihoko and Morofushi Kagemitsu.

The milk tea in Hanano Chiheko's hand was suddenly bumped by someone and was about to fall to the ground.

Chihoko Hanano's heart skipped a beat, and when she reached out to make amends, it was too late. In an instant, a slender and powerful hand steadily caught the milk tea cup.

Hanano Chiheko looked up along her hand. A long-haired man wearing a knitted hat stood out from the crowd. He had dark green eyes...

For some reason, this long-haired man always gives Chihoko Hanano a sense of déjà vu.

"Miss, your milk tea." said Shuichi Akai.

Chihoko Hanano suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had been looking at the man she had just met for too long. She quickly looked away and took the milk tea.

Shuichi Akai said no more, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

"Who was that just now?" Morifushi Kagemitsu, who had finally squeezed back next to Hanano Chiheko, only saw Akai Shuichi's back and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chihoko Hanano shook her head, and the pair of dark green eyes that she was used to seeing immediately appeared in her mind.

I finally remembered why he looked so familiar to me.

Hanano Chiheko raised her eyes to look at the place where Akai Shuichi disappeared, "A good person, should be."

After going through numerous difficulties and obstacles, Hanano Chihoko and Morofushi Kagemitsu finally arrived at the women's clothing store.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the store, and when they entered, the cashier was looking outside.

Seeing a customer, the teller immediately looked away and greeted the customer warmly, "Hello, what style would you like?"

Chihoko Hanano glanced at the name tag: Tian Xi and He Sui.

"Hello, I want to buy a dress to wear to my graduation ceremony. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Okay." Tian Xihe Sui looked Hanano Chiheko up and down, then immediately turned around and quickly matched several outfits for Hanano Chiheko.

"Wow..." Hanano Chiheko said to Morofushi Kagemitsu beside her, "Every set looks so good!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang laughed and said, "This makes it even more difficult to decide."

Hanano Chihezi also realized this. It was not a good idea to just waste time like this. Hanano Chihezi asked Tian Xi and He Sui: "Can I try every set?"

"Of course." Tian Xihe Sui smiled and invited Hanano Chiheko to the fitting room.

Chihoko Hanano noticed a red "occupied" sign on one fitting room and went to the other side.

He paid no attention to the unconscious woman tied up inside.

“Is this good looking?”

Hanano Chiheko changed her clothes and stood in front of the full-length mirror. She looked left and right, a little undecided, and asked Zhu Fushiguri, "What do you think of this? Is it suitable for me?"

Zhu Fujingguang looked at the troubled Hanano Chiheko in the mirror and said sincerely, "She looks very beautiful."

Hanano Chiheko became very motivated when she was praised, "Okay, next one!"

Soon, the credibility of Morofushi Kagemitsu's praise to Hanano Chiheko was discounted.

"Although I know I'm a clothes hanger..." Hanano Chiheko said to Morufushi Kagemitsu without blushing or beating her heart, "But if you say every outfit looks good, it will embarrass me, Hu Hansan."

"But they are indeed all good." Zhu Fujingguang said with an innocent face.

Hanano Chiheko was choked by Morufushi Kagemitsu and was speechless for a moment.

Tian Xi and He Sui came over and said, "Our store is having a sale today. 20% off for two pieces, 40% off for four pieces. You'll make a profit if you buy one."

"Oh!" Hanano Chiheko's eyes were instantly filled with stars, her heart was filled with excitement and her hands were trembling (her hands were held by Morufushi Kagemitsu).

"You have to think carefully, don't regret it later because of a momentary impulse." Zhu Fu Jingguang reminded.

Hanano Chihoko understands the truth, but...

Hanano Chiheko sighed deeply, "People come to this world with great difficulty, and they have to live for a few moments, right?"

Zhu Fujingguang thought for a moment after hearing this, "You mean, this is that moment?"

Chihoko Hanano nodded rapidly.

Seeing Hanano Chiheko's earnest eyes, Zhu Fushi Jingguang finally compromised, "As long as you don't regret it."

"Of course I don't regret it!"

Chihoko Hanano spoke so righteously that she almost swore an oath on the spot.

But when Chihoko Hanano finished her shopping and counted the remaining balance in the car on the way back to the police academy, she immediately looked out the window and cried.

Zhu Fujingguang, who was standing by, showed an expression that said, "You regret it?"

"Damn consumerism trap!" Chihoko Hanano gritted her teeth.

As a woman who bought four sets of clothes at once, Chihoko Hanano truly achieved the tragic transformation from rich to poor.

"In response to the school's call for 'healthy eating', I decided to eat all my meals in the cafeteria!" Hanano Chiheko's impoverished appearance made the driver in front look at her through the rearview mirror.

As an eyewitness to the whole incident, Zhu Fujingguang stretched out his hand and tried to cover the corners of his mouth that were about to burst out.

There was an intersection ahead. The driver stopped the car and waited for the green light. At this time, several police cars with flashing lights flew past.

The "beep, beep" sound of the police siren inexplicably made Chihoko Hanano feel uneasy.

Chihoko Hanano couldn't help but look back and saw the police cars turning into the road leading to the Rice Flower Mall at lightning speed.

"Could something have happened in the mall?" Zhu Fu Jingguang also noticed the abnormality at the same time.
