In the courtyard, where the three of them had just sat, there should have been no one there, but now Xiaolan was sitting there, her hands supporting her head, looking up at the moon, her eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.
...
The following afternoon
Hearing the knock, Ai opened the door and saw Kōyū standing there, covered in sweat. The sun was very strong that day, and it was quite hot.
Guangyou ignored the sweat on his brow, took out a carefully wrapped gift box, and said with a smile, "This is for you."
Early this morning, Guangyou set off for the department store to pick out a gift for Xiao Ai. The temperature wasn't very high, but there were still a lot of people.
Japan has a very developed transportation system, and you can basically take the Shinkansen to anywhere in Japan. This has led to many people working in Tokyo but living in Osaka.
This is a good thing, but there is also a downside. There are really a lot of people, especially during rush hour. In Japan, subway staff have a special responsibility: to help others squeeze onto the subway. This is no exaggeration. During peak hours, these staff are extremely tired.
Taxis in Japan are very expensive, and most office workers are unwilling to take them, which leads to more people taking the subway.
Five percent of the sweat on Guangyou's body was due to the hot weather, while the remaining ninety-five percent was from being squeezed.
He spent a long time browsing in the department store before finally choosing a teddy bear with very exquisite workmanship.
The bear is life-sized, compared to some small children. The bear's craftsmanship is exceptionally exquisite, which results in a price that is much, much higher than that of ordinary toy bears.
Ai didn't take the gift box; she quickly let Kōyō go in first.
She sat on the sofa, looking at the gift box in front of her, somewhat expectantly: "May I open it?"
"certainly."
With Kōyū's permission, Ai opened the box with great anticipation, and the teddy bear that came into view instantly cheered her up.
A smile appeared on his face, and seeing this, Guangyou felt a sense of satisfaction.
Ai picked up the teddy bear, smiled, and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it." Kwang-yu stood up, said goodbye, and then went back to the agency.
Ai came to her room carrying her teddy bear. She sat on the bed, looking at the teddy bear in her arms, and couldn't help but smile.
After a while, she got up and stretched: "I feel that today's research meeting went very smoothly."
