"Have you had enough fun?"
Xuan Mingyu looked at Bai Xiaoruo, who was kneeling on the ground and playing with the vase on the table.
As soon as she came in, she acted like a child who had run wild, her hands never stopping as she touched everything.
"Hmm?" She turned back to look at him.
Bai Xiaoruo suddenly thought of a problem, "This room only has a bed and a table, so where's the bathroom? Where do I take a shower? Where do I use the toilet?"
"At the end of the corridor are the bathroom and toilet. Also, there's a desk and a bathrobe in the cabinet behind that door over there. Take them out if you need them."
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoruo walked to the shoji door that Xian Mingyu pointed to with curiosity, gently pulled it open, and sure enough, there were many things inside.
Even small mirrors, thick cotton quilts, and jars of various teas were all available.
They are all layered, so they won't absorb any flavor.
How convenient! Everything I need is ready.
No wonder the room looked so empty when I entered; it turns out that not all the items were actually displayed here.
How did you know?
"Didn't the landlady just say that?" Xuan Mingyu looked at her with an expression that said, "You're such an idiot."
"Huh? That woman just now...was that the boss's wife?"
Bai Xiaoruo pouted helplessly, "I can't understand what you're saying, how am I supposed to know what you're talking about?"
"Okay, stop worrying about it. Go take a bath and change your clothes. I'll take you out for something delicious later."
They arrived at 2 p.m.
After such a long flight, she must be exhausted, both physically and mentally. If we don't take her out for something to eat soon, she might fall asleep again.
"Hmm? Change clothes? Oh right, can I wear the kimono my aunt gave me? After we finish eating, can we go shopping?"
"Okay, but don't run around. Stay close to me, understand?"
"Yes! I promise!"
Bai Xiaoruo nodded vigorously. She couldn't wait to put on that kimono; just thinking about it made her so happy.
***
Fearing that Bai Xiaoruo wouldn't know how to wear such clothes since it was her first time, Xuan Mingyu asked the innkeeper to help her fix them up.
An hour later, the innkeeper opened the shoji door that had been closed for a long time, and Bai Xiaoruo slowly walked out of the room with delicate steps.
Wearing this kimono, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't take big steps. She was a little unaccustomed to it at first, especially when going down the stairs. Fortunately, the proprietress was there to support her, so she didn't fall.
The proprietress was very enthusiastic, but Bai Xiaoruo couldn't understand her at all because of the language barrier. She kept talking in her own language, but Bai Xiaoruo couldn't understand a word and could only keep smiling at her.
Xian Mingyu had been waiting for her downstairs for a long time.
My phone is almost out of battery from playing so much.
It's just a matter of letting her take a shower and put on some clothes, why is it taking so long?
Finally hearing the noise on the stairs, he turned around and was immediately struck by Bai Xiaoruo's beauty when he saw her wearing a kimono and with her hair tied up in a bun.
This kimono really suits her. Both the color and the pattern are tailor-made for Bai Xiaoruo. I have to say, her aunt has excellent taste.
Of course, appearance is also very important.
Wearing a kimono and light makeup, her small face and shyly pursed lips made her appear even more slender in the kimono, radiating a captivating charm from head to toe.
Bai Xiaoruo finally came down the stairs and stood in front of Xuan Mingyu. "How is it? Does it look good?"
She really wanted to know what Xuan Mingyu thought of her.
"Cough! It's alright, passable." He coughed lightly, turned his face away, and his expression wasn't very natural.
Of course, he wouldn't tell this idiot just how beautiful she looked in that kimono.
What if praising her makes her feel superior?
The proprietress smiled and said something to the effect of, "Your wife is very beautiful. Have a pleasant evening."
Hsien Ming-yu thanked her in Japanese.
Some were smug and self-satisfied, not even realizing whose wife she was. Of course she was beautiful.
The proprietress had to leave first, leaving only Bai Xiaoruo and Xuan Mingyu.
Bai Xiaoruo was extremely dissatisfied with his evaluation just now!
This is so perfunctory!
She had thought that once she changed her clothes and came downstairs, she would see him in a kimono, but to her disappointment, he was still wearing the same black coat he had when he first arrived.
Won't she look strange standing next to him?
"What are you thinking about? Let's go."
"Oh." Bai Xiaoruo responded to Xian Mingyu listlessly, taking small steps to go to the door to change her shoes.
Wearing this kimono requires special wooden clogs to match, which makes movement a bit inconvenient. However, as long as you look beautiful, that's all that matters.
"Hello!"
Instead of leaving first, Xian Mingyu called out to Bai Xiaoruo, who was already walking in front of him.
"What?" Bai Xiaoruo turned around and looked at him irritably.
Hmph! She still remembers his comments, and she holds grudges!
"Who gave you permission to walk in front of me?"
Bai Xiaoruo was very annoyed, "What's wrong with me... I walked in front of you?"
Is it illegal to walk in front of him? Isn't he being a bit too nosy?
"Today, I'll make an exception; you can take my hand as we go to the restaurant."
He said it with a smug look on his face.
Bai Xiaoruo still didn't understand, "I can walk perfectly well on my own, why do I have to hold your hand?"
