Chapter 58 Are you really here to see the wedding dress?
It’s not too late yet, there are red clouds hanging in the distance, and the sky is still blue.
Sakakibara glanced at the flyer in the hands of the young lady in front of him and roughly guessed her purpose:
"Is it an activity similar to taking wedding photos?"
"Yes, that's right. Our store has newly opened and is offering free membership activities. As long as we agree to use the wedding photos we took for daily promotion in the store, we can provide the couple with a set of 660,000 yen for free.
Full wedding photography service."
As soon as the young lady finished speaking, her cell phone rang. She said sorry and quickly called over another young girl who was handing out flyers at the other end of the street.
"Sister Asano, what's wrong?"
"You come and greet you two, and I'll take a call."
The young lady smiled and nodded to the two of them, "I'm sorry, you two. Let her explain the situation in detail. I need to answer the phone."
"It's okay, I understand." Sakakihara said.
After the young lady said sorry again, she hurriedly ran away to answer the phone.
The young girl holding the flyer in both hands was stunned for a moment after seeing the seven bright moons in the sky, and then said with a smile:
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiang Qianyu, and I am an employee of the bridal shop opposite. I would like to ask, how old are you two?"
"Eighteen." The voice of Tianhai Qimingyue blurted out.
...?!
It took Sakakihara Raku a while to react.
However, the name Xiang Qianyu should be Chinese, and the accent does not sound like a local.
Raku Sakakibara, the sister in front of her, guessed that she was probably a college student who came to work in a bridal shop.
"There is no problem at all if you are eighteen years old, and it should be okay if you are a high school student... Haha, I'm not too sure."
Tianhai Qimingyue's gold-rimmed glasses glow with a transparent shimmer:
"Even high school students can do it. Taking wedding photos does not constitute marriage and does not violate the law."
Then why did you suddenly say you were eighteen years old...?
Sakakihara thought carefully about the wedding photos for promotion... It seems that it is not good to use minors as models. Qi Mingyue said that she was eighteen years old because she was afraid of being rejected.
This matter is not a big deal. As long as the photo is taken, you can say how old you are. Anyway, you are not a public figure, so the difference in appearance is not big.
"That's right. May I ask what your last names are?"
"Sakakibara."
"Tianhai."
"Sakakibara-kun and Miss Amami," Xiang Qianyu smiled at the two and shouted, then asked Amami Qimingyue, "I wonder what Miss Amami's intention is in taking wedding photos? It will be used as a promotional picture for our store.
, it’s free~~”
Sakakibara interjected and asked: "You don't have any rules about paying money midway, do you?"
Xiang Qianyu waved her hands like an anxious rabbit: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! We are not lying, because our store really has just opened, and we need to do publicity to have this event. I can guarantee it, because my uncle is
Boss, I was only brought here to help hand out flyers and help the store to find anyone interested in taking wedding photos."
When Xiang Qianyu said this, he felt a little discouraged. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed, muttering in Chinese in a very small voice:
"Japanese people are afraid of trouble. They are not willing to take pictures of free wedding dresses. Although most of the young people passing by are not in love, it is too strange to stand there all afternoon and not get anyone. The pocket money promised by my uncle
Ah, my limited edition bag..."
She thought that since her voice was very low and she was speaking in Chinese, the two of them wouldn't be able to hear her. In fact, Raku Sakakibara and Nanami Nanami heard her quite clearly and understood everything.
As expected, she is a female college student. It is taboo to mutter in front of guests in a language they do not understand.
Sakakibara thought that it was good that she didn't say anything bad about Qi Mingyue, otherwise she would definitely remember it in her heart.
"Okay." Tianhai Qimingyue nodded lightly.
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"Well, okay." Tianhai Qimingyue asked again, "Is there a specific time?"
"Time...this..." Xiang Qianyu looked confused, "Sorry, I have to ask Sister Qianye..."
"Hey, where's Sister Asano?"
Sakakihara Raku: "I just saw her walking to the other side."
"Ah? What is this?" Xiang Qianyu looked very embarrassed. She turned her head and hesitated for a while, then said to her with great reluctance, "It seems that time is not something that Sister Asano can decide. Miss Tianhai can come with me."
Going to the bridal shop? I have to ask my uncle about this, haha... I’m so embarrassed.”
"It doesn't matter."
.......
The furnishings of the bridal shop are full of romance, with white decoration and warm tones, a duplex floor and a large space.
The front desk at the entrance is decorated with two bottles of pure white lilies. Looking up from the spiral staircase on the right, you can see the work area above.
As soon as you enter the bridal shop, you will involuntarily move your eyes to the left.
There is a wedding dress hanging in the noble wardrobe on the left. Two slender white slings are hung on a black clothes hanger. The waist is decorated with crystal diamonds, and the snow-colored white gauze hangs down.
Similar but different wedding dresses like this are hung all over the wall, exuding a fragrance like grapefruit.
There should be the bridesmaid dress over there, the skirt is not so heavy and very refreshing.
Xiang Qianyu led the two of them through the front desk area and came to an inner room, which was separated from the main hall by only one wall. There was a large side of transparent glass near the block.
There is a zelkova tree outside, and the sun shines into the house through the snow-colored gauze curtains. The whole room is filled with dreamy, crystal-clear wedding dresses.
This was Raku Sakakihara's first time visiting a bridal shop, and he couldn't help but take a second look at these clothes that symbolized marriage.
"I just opened the store and bought 200 pieces of main yarn. That's what my uncle told me. Wait here for a moment. I'll go upstairs and ask my uncle. So many potato chips... you can put them on the sofa in the lobby.
Up."
Xiang Qianyu looked at the two big bags of potato chips in his hand, becoming more and more curious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Sakakibara-kun, do you like potato chips?"
"No, she likes to eat." Raku Sakakihara glanced at Amami Nanamigetsu who was walking in the wedding dress.
"Then we must have gone shopping together. We are preparing to go home now."
Xiang Qianyu stood on tiptoe and looked in front of Tianhai Qimingyue who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses:
"From the first time we met, I discovered that your girlfriend's skin is very good, Sakakibara-kun. Just by looking at it, I can understand that she doesn't need too much makeup to achieve that good effect, which is very suitable for her.
It’s no problem to take photos of celebrities in a light style and become a model!
"Like - a quiet young lady!"
"We are not boyfriend and girlfriend." Tianhai Qimingyue came over and said.
"No? I feel like you two are a perfect match."
"I'm just a helper." Raku Sakakihara shrugged.
Tianhai Qimingyue looked at the gauze skirt falling on the white floor tiles: "But he did have the idea of wanting me to be his girlfriend."
When have I ever?
"Nana Mingzuki, don't talk nonsense." Sakakibara raised his eyebrows.
She has the same angelic face as her sister, but she feels like a little devil.
Amami Nanami turned her head, her face full of innocence: "I'm not talking nonsense, Sakakibara-kun just peeked at me on the train for a long time, and he felt very happy chatting with me, and he kept laughing."
Xiang Qianyu understands.
This is pursuit, right!
No wonder he took the initiative to carry so many potato chips for her!
I can’t tell that Sakakibara-kun, whom I have just met a few times, is still a tsundere.
Although he clearly cares about Miss Tianhai, he still wants to quarrel with her.
Interesting.
......
It’s true that chatting is fun.
I really didn’t peek at her.
Obviously just look at it directly.
No, it’s not to look at her, it’s to care about her.
Because the loneliness she reveals from the bottom of her heart cannot lie.
"What do you think, Sakakibara-kun? If you like someone, you have to be brave enough to say it, otherwise you'll keep it in your heart and you'll never get a chance."
Qi Mingyue, you always like to tease people. Isn’t it good to be a quiet girl?
No, no, treating Qi Mingyue blindly will only make her worse.
"Well, I feel happy because it's a good topic to talk about."
"Admit it? Just admit it. If you like me, I won't care about this kind of thing at all."
"No, no, no, no one likes someone who can hold a grudge for a week just because of a bag of potato chips."
Amami Nanamiyue was a little surprised: "Sakakibara-kun, you really dare to say that, whoever writes the manuscript for the monthly magazine needs to ask someone to help review and revise it. In the final analysis, it is because he is not confident in his own article and his level.
My own lack of confidence."
Such cruel language.
Obviously I just asked her to help me see if there was anything wrong, but now it’s better to directly reduce myself to a useless person.
Now Qi Mingyue's attributes in his mind also include a "venomous tongue".
"As the director of the Literature Department, shouldn't we care about the level of our members?"
"As the director of the Literature Department, I also have the right to remove members who fail to meet the standards."
"As the Minister of Literature, if you abuse your power, students have the obligation to report it to the Academic Affairs Office."
"Although Sakakibara-kun is right, but..."
Nanami Nanami stood quietly on the spot, her face was pretty, and her gold-rimmed glasses reflected Raku Sakakihara's appearance.
She chuckled confidently:
"Sakakibara-kun, you don't want your sister to repeat a grade because her department work is not up to standard, right?"
"..."
Why did you forget this!
Cruel, cruel enough.
Although Sakakibara Raku is very unconvinced, only a man who can bend and stretch can stand in the world for a long time, so he accepts it for now.
Ah Ling has been busy with work recently, so there is nothing she can do to help her take some of her worries off.
Apart from the Literature Department, he couldn't think of any place where he could help A Ling get her name.
Qi Mingyue threatened him with this matter. In order to take care of his sister, he really had no choice.
Seeing the way Sakakihara Raku was being pinched, Amami Nanamiyue laughed happily.
"Don't be complacent."
"Oh? Does Sakakibara-kun have any other clever tricks?"
"It's not a brilliant idea, but lately I'm a little tired of preparing breakfast and lunch every day... Oh, should I reduce someone's food intake?"
Sakakihara straightened his back, paused, and said:
"After all, some people don't want their lunch of potato chips and fried rice to be reduced for some reason, right?"
"..."
Tianhai Qimingyue fell silent. When he heard the words "potato chips and fried rice", not only did his expression disappear, but there was something strange in his eyes.
Sakakibara was happy to see her face return to calm and tranquility, and smiled.
Xiang Qianyu looked left and right.
This is definitely a flirtatious bickering, right?
"Well... how about I help you apply for a special wedding photo for two people?"
"No need!" x2
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
Xiang Qianyu noticed the subtle atmosphere and quickly left the wedding room.
After this, the atmosphere becomes slightly more subtle.
Although this was not the first time that Sakakihara Raku had quarreled with his sister, this was the first time that he had quarreled with Nanamigyue.
To say I'm angry, I'm really not angry.
"Qi Mingyue is not angry with my brother."
"Is it because you want me to carry potato chips for you?"
Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at him, then turned back, acquiescing to his words.
"Why do you feel like you hate me?"
"Isn't it normal to hate perverts?"
"Well, let's not talk about whether I have shown any signs of aggression towards you... I have taken good care of you recently, right? I make you potato chips and fried rice every day."
"..."
"Why don't you speak?"
"Because that's the truth."
"Then why are you still criticizing me?"
Tianhai Qimingyue looked at him with squinting eyes: "The reason is very simple. On the one hand, I find it interesting to argue with you, and on the other hand, I am angry with you."
"Angry with me? Have I done something to make you angry?"
"Naturally, it's enough to make me angry for the rest of my life."
"What?"
"..." Tianhai Qimingyue stopped talking.
Seeing that she chose to remain silent, Sakakibara finally discovered that the position of brother has many many things to bear.
In most cases, it is still one-way payment.
For example, Ah Ling most of the time does not remember that he has cooked breakfast and lunch for her for more than ten years and is jealous because she thinks that she does not care about her.
Alas, we have been here for more than ten years, how can we really end the relationship between brother and sister just because of a trivial matter?
Even if Ah Ling breaks her promise and lets her go, she won't be angry at all.
This is the difficulty of being an older brother.
Thanks to his good temper, a brother with other personalities would have started a cold war with Ah Ling and then ignored each other - this is the case with most brothers and sisters.
Qi Mingyue is probably the same, she simply regards her brother as a tool brother.
Any anger is just an excuse.
It seems that only Jiu Liuli is a little considerate of herself, and wants to come over and try her best to help when she is busy.
Jiuliuli is better...
"That!"
Xiang Qianyu ran down, holding the wall with her right hand and looking at the two people in the wedding dress room, "My uncle is coming down soon. He wants to help Miss Tianhai see which wedding dress is suitable for her."
"What's the time for taking pictures?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked.
"The time will probably be tomorrow morning, Saturday, okay?"
