Now that he knew the class monitor's birthday, what present should he give her? It seemed that the class monitor liked to climb mountains. Let's look for it from this aspect!
As I walked out of the school, a luxurious car stopped in front of me. It was Atobe's private car.
Frost Monarch's group attracted a lot of attention.
"I was just looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Aren't you here to look for the class monitor? I looked at the large group behind him and was puzzled.
"Ah! Next week is my birthday, this is the invitation!”Atobe handed over a gorgeous invitation.
I took it and was dumbfounded!
"Next Monday? That means there are still three days. How can I have time to prepare a gift in such a hurry? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Atobe-sama touched the mole at the corner of his eye and ignored my question."Remember to wear a formal dress when you come to the ball. I still have to find Tezuka, so I'll be leaving first.”Then, he led Frost Monarch and the others to the teaching building. As he walked past me, Atobe whispered in my ear,""I look forward to your gift!"
Looking at the flamboyant back, I frowned helplessly. The more you look forward to it, the bigger my head gets! There were still three days left, and the class monitor's matter had not been resolved yet? Seriously, why was everyone born together? Could it be that these two fated opponents wanted to compete in the time it took for them to hatch?
She stuffed the gorgeous invitation card into her bag and went home!
At night, I looked at the invitation card and thought hard. What should I send? Atobe probably doesn't lack anything! And he could get anything he wanted. The class monitor was still fine. At least he had a direction to think about. As for Atobe, he had no clue at all!
Just as I was at a loss for what to do, Xiao Ye called.
"Murong, I heard that you received an invitation from Atobe.”
"Ah! That's right! She said that she was going to a ball and that she had to wear a gown.”I frowned. Atobe's so-called gown should be the kind of good-looking but useless clothes that I wore at his house last time! Anyway, it's impossible for my family to prepare Han clothes for festivals and ceremonies. Just thinking about it made him feel awkward.
"As expected! It's Friday tomorrow, let's go and help you choose a dress!”Xiao Ye said excitedly over the phone.
" Uh…" I really wanted to refuse, but I really didn't have a gown. "Alright then…"
After hanging up the phone, she collapsed on the bed and buried her head in the silk quilt embroidered with peonies.
"What should we do!"
Touching the embroidery on the quilt, I thought about what I could give Atobe as a birthday present. Did that young master not have anything at home? What to give was really troubling. Right, embroidery! Why didn't I think of that? The Atobe family shouldn't have such a thing! Then what should I embroider? Atobe was so narcissistic, why not…
The next day, when they arrived at school, Xiao Ye talked non-stop about buying a gown. What brand is better, what style is more suitable, should I choose a sexy one or a cute one…I was sweating profusely as I listened. Come on, we're only fourteen or fifteen years old now. No matter how mature we are, we can't be considered sexy!
"Hey, Murong, have you found a dance partner?”
"Dance partner?" I don't understand.
"Of course I need a dance partner to attend the ball! Haven't you found it yet?"
"No! Anyway, I don't know how to dance. I'm only going to the ball to make up the numbers. It doesn't matter if I have a partner or not!”
"That won't do! There will definitely be a lot of Frost Monarch's students attending Atobe-kun's birthday party. We can't let Frost Monarch's girls look down on our girls. "So…" Xiaoye came over with narrowed eyes and said word by word,""You must find an excellent dance partner!”
It was another matter of face! He even brought up the honor of the school. Isn't this putting pressure on me? An excellent dance partner? Where do you want me to find one?
When he saw the class monitor sitting upright in the front row, he suddenly had an idea.
"Class President, you also received an invitation from Atobe yesterday, right?”
"Ah!"
"Have you found a dance partner?"
"Not yet."
"Then do you have anyone you want to invite?”
"…No."
There was hope! I smiled slyly.
"Hey! Class monitor, our situation is exactly the same! Why don't we help each other out?"
The person in front considered for a moment.
"Good!"
I smiled in satisfaction and gave a victory sign to Xiaoye. If there was a problem, look for the class monitor. The teacher was right!
Xiao Ye gave me a thumbs-up in admiration.
After class in the afternoon, Ono couldn't wait to drag me to Tokyo's business district. She really came here no matter what she bought! No wonder the shops here were so profitable. However, I don't have the right to criticize others, because I take a percentage of the money earned by these shops as rent…Hehe.
I let Xiao Ye pull me into a shop that specializes in buying dresses.
"What do you think of this one?" Xiao Ye asked me as he held up a bright red low-collared dress.
I quickly shook my head.
"What about this one?" It was a light yellow lace dress.
I waved my hand. I've had enough of the little dress, and this time I'm going to the Atobe family. I don't want to embarrass myself again.
"Then this one!" It was a tight purple dress.
"No!" He rejected it without hesitation. There's such a big gap at the back. I won't wear it even if you beat me to death.
"Then what kind do you want?”
I frowned and looked at the gowns hanging in the shop. She turned around and asked the waiter.
"Do you have dresses made of silk?”
"I'm sorry, but silk is only produced in China, so it's hard to buy. We don't have such a noble dress in our shop.”
"I see!" I was disappointed.
Xiao Ye came over and pulled me, saying softly,"Do you really want to buy a silk gown? It's very expensive!"
"But silk is more comfortable to wear!”For example, the Han clothes in my house are all made of silk.
Xiao Ye thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. He raised his head and said to me,"Then I'll take you to buy it. I know a shop that will definitely have silk dresses.”
"Really?"
"Yes! He definitely couldn't let Frost Monarch's people look down on him at Atobe-kun's birthday party. But, Murong, that shop is really expensive. The cheapest gown costs millions…"
"Millions! I should be able to afford it!" I started to look up at the sky and recall how many zeros there were on my card.
"Hmm…if you really want to buy it, then let's go and take a look! If it doesn't work, I know other good shops.”
"Alright then! Then let's go and take a look first!"
Under Xiao Ye's lead, I arrived at a very luxuriously decorated clothing store.
"Welcome!" The waiter smiled professionally at the door. However, after seeing Xiao Ye and I clearly, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Xiao Ye timidly walked behind me, carefully sizing up this luxurious shop.
"Excuse me, do you have silk gowns in your shop?”I asked the waiter directly.
"…I'm sorry, are you talking about silk gowns?”The waiter asked again with uncertainty.
"Yes, I want to see the silk gowns in your shop.”I said with a smile.
The waiter looked at us in confusion and said,"Please follow me!"”He turned around and left. They walked around layers of clothes racks with gorgeous gowns hanging on them and followed the waiter to the VIP room at the back. Xiao Ye was very careful along the way, afraid that he would break something.
As soon as the door of the VIP room opened, Xiao Ye, who was behind him, could not help but exclaim. The people inside all turned to look at us.
A middle-aged man in a high-end suit walked over with a black face and scolded the waiter who brought us in.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know that Ms. Asakura is here to choose a dress? Why did he bring anyone in?”As he spoke, he looked at us disdainfully from time to time.
The waiter hurriedly bowed and apologized.
I felt the force on my arm tighten. I turned around and saw Xiao Ye biting his lips tightly. Tears welled up in his eyes and his hands grabbed me tightly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here…"
He gave her a comforting smile and walked straight to the middle-aged man's side."Excuse me, are you the owner of this shop?”
"I am the manager. Is there a problem?" The middle-aged man raised his head and said proudly.
"I want to see the silk gowns in your shop.”Seeing the manager's surprised expression, I smiled and added,""Of course, if your shop doesn't have it, I won't make things difficult for you.”
Although Xiao Ye was so nervous that his face had turned pale, he still stubbornly stood behind me and did not take a step back.
Seeing that the store manager was standing there in a daze, I pretended to be disappointed and said to Xiao Ye,"Looks like there's no gown we want here either! Looking at the decor, he thought that this shop was high-end, but it turned out to be just so-so. Forget it, let's go to the next shop!"
Just as she was about to pull Xiao Ye and turn around to leave, a cold female voice suddenly came from inside.
"Wait a minute."
I turned around and saw a girl slowly walking out of the VIP room. She had waist-length dark purple hair and silver-gray eyes. She had a cold and noble demeanor and a disdainful gaze that seemed to ignore the entire world. She should be the Ms. Asakura that the store manager had mentioned!
