This mysterious statement successfully piqued Mingmei's curiosity:
"The gift we agreed on yesterday?"
"A piece of clothing?"
What kind of clothes?
Although she didn't know what the clothes looked like, Akemi could tell that, excluding the possibility that Kousuke had deliberately changed the gift bag, the clothes weren't a designer brand.
Most merchants' gift bags have their own store name on them.
This one is no exception.
She had never heard of this brand.
With this question in mind, Akemi shifted her gaze from the gift bag to Ai.
But she noticed that Ai was frowning slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.
Seeing Ai's expression, Akemi was also a little puzzled.
"Wasn't this the gift the two of them agreed on?"
"Why does it seem like Shiho doesn't know?"
Just as Akemi noticed, Ai was also somewhat puzzled at this moment.
When she heard Guangyou say it was a gift they had agreed on yesterday, her first reaction was that it was impossible.
She wasn't the type of person who would ask Guangyou to give her a gift for no reason.
But considering that Guangyou wouldn't lie to her about something like this, there was no need for it.
She began to doubt herself:
Did she forget what she had agreed upon?
But her memory isn't bad, especially since it happened yesterday.
If it was a real promise, she definitely wouldn't forget it.
She thought back for a moment, but couldn't remember when she and Guangyou made the promise, or what the gift was.
Guangyou said it was clothes, but she and Guangyou didn't talk much about clothes yesterday.
Seeing that Ai was holding the gift bag but not opening it, Kōyū's eyes held a hint of a smile as he urged her to open it:
"Ai, hurry up and take it apart!"
His reaction to the two men was exactly what he had expected.
He said from the beginning that he had bought her a piece of clothing, so they naturally assumed that the gift was the clothing.
But that's not actually the case.
Clothes are clothes, gifts are something else entirely.
The gift can be precious in some ways, but it can also be worthless in others.
It also depends on the other party's attitude.
After a moment's thought, Ai didn't get an answer.
She stopped thinking about whether there was such a promise, and stopped guessing what the gift would contain.
Anyway, she was quite happy that Guangyou gave her a gift, so whether or not there was an agreement was secondary.
As for the content, just like Guangyou said, you'll know once you open it and take a look.
"Um."
With a reply, Ai took out the beautifully packaged gift box from the gift bag.
Skillfully untie the bow on the gift box and open the lid.
Then...
She was stunned for a moment.
The first thing that catches the eye is not the blue dress.
Instead...
A vibrant, red rose...
The moment Ai saw the red roses, she remembered the promise that Kousuke had just made.
Yesterday, Guangyou gave her a bouquet of roses, twelve in total.
She liked it, but felt it was unnecessary to buy so many.
If you're just giving them as gifts, buying a few flowers as a token is fine.
Quantity doesn't matter; what matters is the sentiment.
Later, Guangyou said that he hadn't given her flowers much before, so he bought one for her today.
At that time, she also reminded Guangyou not to buy too much.
Shi Guangyou's answer was that he would buy one.
Coming to her senses, Ai's cherry lips moved slightly, and she murmured to herself:
"So this is the gift."
Before opening the gift box, she never expected that Guangyou would give her flowers.
Although Guangyou said he would give her a gift yesterday, she didn't think of flowers after he mentioned that he had bought a dress beforehand.
This rose reminded her of what Guangyou had said to her yesterday:
"You are the only one in my heart."
At the same time, it also reminded her of the time when Guangyou repeated the sentence five times.
Her lips curved upwards, forming a beautiful arc that perfectly expressed her current mood.
Looking at the roses lying in the gift box, Akemi was somewhat surprised:
"It's a rose..."
After realizing what had happened, the surprise on her face was replaced by a relieved smile.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between the smiling Kōyū and the girl Ai, who was looking down at the flowers, and she sighed inwardly:
"Kuang-Yu is quite romantic."
Kōyū was completely unaware of what the two were thinking at that moment.
He doesn't have superpowers, after all; he can't read minds.
At this moment, he was looking at Ai with a smile on his face.
Looking at this girl who usually has an icy and aloof face, but whose expression is gentle now.
He asked with a smile:
"Ai, how are you?"
Do you like it?
His voice snapped Ai out of her reverie from yesterday.
She looked up from the flowers and met Guangyou's eyes, which she considered quite handsome.
There was no blushing like a young girl would when receiving roses, only a faint smile.
Then, Ai nodded and said:
"I really like it."
"It's said to be 'quite,' but I'm afraid it's not 'very.'"
Looking at the smile on her face, Guangyou thought to himself upon hearing these words.
These thoughts remained just that—thoughts.
Since Ai likes it, then the gift is worth it...
Flowers aren't expensive to begin with, so this was not only worthwhile, but also a profitable deal.
"If you like it, that's fine."
After talking about the flowers, Kōyū mentioned the dress he gave to Ai along with the flowers:
"Ai, go try on that dress and see how it looks."
Flowers are the highlight of the gift.
The dress was bought with money, and it was many times more expensive than the flowers, but at this moment it seemed to have become an accessory to the flowers.
"Um."
After taking the roses out of the gift box and placing them on the table, Ai responded and then got up with the gift box to go to Akemi's room to change her clothes.
