1979: My fiancée is a goddess

The next morning, which was April 13th.

After a night of wind and rain, the dark clouds in the sky have thinned out somewhat.

A soft, gentle, and slightly damp breeze drifted into the room, fluttering the sheer curtains beside the bed.

In the bright, spacious room, it was so quiet that the only sound could be the curtains rubbing against the walls.

Two girls were lying on the bed.

One of them was lying face down on the bed, sleeping in a crooked position, with most of his body outside the blanket, and one of his rather chubby legs was pressed against the girl next to him.

A peaceful sleeping face, upright posture, a white blanket lifted to the chest of a proud and upright figure, with a snow-white and clean hand pressing down on it.

The wind ruffled her thick, dark hair, which was scattered on the white pillow, and her long, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes.

"Ah, cut~"

Zhao Ruixue slowly woke up, yawned lightly, and quickly regained consciousness.

But instead of getting out of bed, I first tucked my arms, which had been outside all night and were unusually cold, back into the warm, fragrant blankets. I immediately felt much more comfortable and at ease.

Her beautiful, willow-leaf-shaped eyes, filled with classical charm, turned, casting a cool gaze as she observed the sky outside.

"It's another cloudy day, and it looks like it's drizzling..."

Zhao Ruixue tilted her head and looked out the window at the somewhat gloomy sky and light clouds, her brows furrowed slightly as she murmured to herself.

The weather isn't very good today.

She prefers sunny days to rainy days, especially the first sunny day after the rain, when the sky is bright and clean after being washed by the rain.

But the thought of going shopping with Cheng Kaiyan today immediately put aside this minor bad mood.

Moreover, Cheng Kaiyan will come to their house later to meet them.

I imagine I'll bring her breakfast and roses, just like I have these days. Will they be red or white? How many are left?

Zhao Ruixue turned over, lying on her side looking out the window, her languid, beautiful eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

Her heart fluttered with excitement, but she still had no intention of getting out of bed.

I stayed up too late reading with Cheng Kaiyan last night, and then I forgot to close the window and caught a chill.

Her deeper subconscious desire was probably to relive the experience of going to school or going out together as a child.

She wouldn't get up unless Cheng Kaiyan came to wake her.

Zhao Ruixue naturally couldn't fully grasp her own thoughts; she simply wanted to take advantage of this quiet time when no one would disturb her to plan what to buy for Cheng Kaiyan while shopping today, what surprises to prepare, and where to take him after shopping.

After all, the three of them had a meal yesterday at noon, which used up Cheng Kaiyan's living expenses for the month, so they had to make it up to him.

"First, let's buy a proper suit, then a few other outfits. He already has a watch, given to him by that woman... or maybe a leather belt?"

As Zhao Ruixue muttered her plans, time slipped by unnoticed.

When she came to her senses, she heard footsteps in the living room.

"he came."

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Ruixue turned over and quickly closed her eyes.

Last night, before leaving, she gave Cheng Kaiyan a key, just in case he arrived early and no one was there to open the door.

"Ruixue, Ruixue! Are you two up yet?"

The sound slowly approached, reaching the door.

There was a click.

Cheng Kaiyan pushed open the door, and a cool breeze stirred the curtains. She saw that the two girls on the bed were still fast asleep.

Zhao Ruixue slept on the side by the window, her hair hanging down beside the bed swaying in the wind, but she didn't seem to react much.

"Looks like they went to bed late last night. Oh well, there's no mission today anyway, let them sleep a little longer..."

Cheng Kaiyan closed the door and went to the kitchen.

"Buzzing..."

The sound of a gas stove came from the kitchen.

Ten minutes passed, and Cheng Kaiyan heated up the food and boiled a kettle of water.

This morning's breakfast was brought by him from the restaurant at the Cultural Affairs Bureau's residence, and it had gotten cold from the wind and rain along the way.

Looking back at the motionless door, Cheng Kaiyan shook her head helplessly, strode into the bedroom, sat down beside Zhao Ruixue's bed, nudged her slender, tall body wrapped in the blanket, and urged her:
"Get up and eat! How can you, a grown adult, still sleep in like a child?"

"Hmm... Oh, I'm up."

Zhao Ruixue slowly opened her eyes, her expression somewhat blank. When she saw Cheng Kaiyan, she realized that she had fallen asleep again while waiting.

She nudged Uesugi Ayana, who was sprawled out in her sleep beside her, completely lacking any ladylike demeanor, "Get up, Ayana..."

"Hmm~"

The round-faced girl's nasal voice, filled with awkwardness and dissatisfaction, rang out, clearly indicating that this was the lazybones.

A few minutes later, the two got up and finished washing up.

Looking at the plentiful and hot breakfast on the table, Zhao Ruixue felt a warm glow in her heart.

"But where are the flowers? Didn't he say there would be some last night?"

With her doubts lingering in her mind, the girl ate breakfast and went back to her room to change her clothes.

She still had the same simple and elegant white floral look as I remembered: a fitted white women's shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of white tennis shoes, with her hair tied in a single ponytail.

"It's beautiful, this bouquet is for you."

After looking her over, Cheng Kaiyan took out a large bouquet of blue roses from behind her and handed it to the girl.

"Blue roses, so beautiful, I love them."

Zhao Ruixue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So he hid it!"

What a scoundrel! He deliberately hid it to disappoint himself, and then suddenly brought it out!
The girl muttered to herself with a hint of resentment, but the blush of shy joy on her face was impossible to hide.

She moved slowly but with an air of urgency as she hugged the flowers to her chest and lowered her head to smell them.

I smelled them and counted them, and sure enough, there were ninety-nine flowers.

Uesugi Ayana, standing to the side, felt a pang of jealousy, but was also happy for her friend.

"nice! You love it."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled happily.

After a moment, Zhao Ruixue calmed down, sprinkled some water on the flowers, and then went out chatting and laughing with the two of them.

……

On the tram, the three of them maintained the same posture as yesterday.

However, this time Zhao Ruixue was not as afraid of having intimate contact with Cheng Kaiyan as she was yesterday, but now she unconsciously snuggled closer to Cheng Kaiyan.

Given their height difference, the girl's fair face seemed to be buried in Cheng Kaiyan's arms, a posture that was somewhat intimate and even ambiguous.

Cheng Kaiyan wasn't used to this, so he pretended not to know, but the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's body made him shiver.

He lowered his head slightly, resting his chin on Zhao Ruixue's soft hair, and asked softly, "Why did you kill me off?"

"Huh? What do you mean 'written to death'?"

Zhao Ruixue shook her head subconsciously, then realized what she meant and said calmly, "I learned it from you."

"……Fine!"

Cheng Kaiyan was speechless. He understood. The girl meant that the male protagonist in "Love Letter" died at the beginning, and she wrote it that way on purpose.

"hehe."

The girl in his arms smiled smugly, like the sound of layers of snow covering the ground.

She didn't speak again, her slender fingers tugging at Cheng Kaiyan's clothes, leaning half her body against him.

The wheels rattled and clattered as they huddled together, able to faintly hear each other's heartbeats...

The two had never been closer than they were now, and so had their hearts.

……

At 8:30, the three arrived at Mitsukoshi Department Store, a high-end shopping mall in Ginza.

Across from it stands a cylindrical building with a clock tower on top; this is Wako Department Store.

Both are large department stores positioned as high-end.

However, according to the waiter, Mitsukoshi Department Store brings together the most upscale and comprehensive range of Japanese and international brands.

Furthermore, Mitsukoshi places great emphasis on art and culture, with a permanent gallery in the store hosting high-level art exhibitions.

After lingering at the entrance for a few minutes, Zhao Ruixue and Uesugi Ayana found their target and led the way.

Cheng Kaiyan followed behind the two girls, casually glancing around.

The interior design of the mall exudes a calm, understated, elegant, and luxurious artistic style.

Perhaps because it was a weekend, there were quite a few people early in the morning, mostly women, middle-aged women, and young girls, but their clothes were all very stylish.

Worried about losing them, Cheng Kaiyan focused her attention and followed the two girls.

However, several pairs of eyes in the crowd turned to look at the three of them.

They were a group of young men and women, including Yamamoto Riteng and Sun Shiyun, as well as one or two young women with elaborate and heavy makeup.

"Isn't that Zhao Ruixue and Uesugi Ayana?"

"Cheng Kaiyan is here too?"

Sun Shiyun's face immediately turned grim when he thought about what happened yesterday afternoon.

"So what if he is? You don't really think he can afford that Bentley, do you?"

Seeing his dejected look, Yamamoto Ritsuto scoffed, "Let's go, let's follow them and see. They must be helping Ruixue with her wedding dress."

……

the other side.

Cheng Kaiyan and the others arrived at the clothing section.

Evening gowns aren't sold in ordinary women's clothing stores; they're only available from some high-end clothing brands or boutiques of well-known designers. However, such stores are quite common in Mitsukoshi Department Store.

The three quickly found a high-end women's clothing brand store owned by renowned Japanese female fashion designer, Hanae Mori.

Ayana Uesugi comes from a wealthy family and loves shopping, so she is very knowledgeable about women's products such as clothing, cosmetics, and skincare.

"Let's go with this one. It's high-end, the price-performance ratio is pretty good, and most importantly, the design is very strong."

She pointed to the shop and began to introduce it.

As for Ms. Hidee Mori, she is now a well-known female designer in the Japanese fashion industry.

In 1977, he became the first Asian designer to join the Paris Haute Couture Federation.

Her design philosophy blends Eastern aesthetics with Western haute couture craftsmanship.

Its style is glamorous, feminine, and elegant, and it is loved by the upper class and socialites in Japan and internationally. It is a representative of "high-class" in the traditional sense.

Because she frequently uses butterfly motifs, she is also known as Madame Butterfly.

The three of them entered the store and started looking around.

"How about this one? I think it would suit you quite well, Ruixue. Why don't we try it on?"

Led by a shop assistant, Ayana Uesugi and Ruixue Zhao arrived at the area where the dresses were located and immediately took a liking to a black dress.

"This black one?"

Zhao Ruixue touched it; it was made of silk satin, cool to the touch, delicate and smooth.

Moreover, the texture is very good, the thickness is moderate, and the clothes have a good drape when put down.

She looked at it carefully for a while, and gradually became interested.

"You two have excellent taste. This evening gown was personally designed by our Ms. Mori Hidee. It was cut from a single piece of black silk satin, with every effort made to ensure there were no visible seams..."

At this moment, the female shop assistant came over and saw that the three of them were interested.

He then enthusiastically introduced the dress while gesturing to Zhao Ruixue.

Zhao Ruixue and her companion listened and asked questions.

Cheng Kaiyan thought the evening gown was quite nice, both in terms of its appearance and design concept.

The skirt has different hemlines on the left and right sides, which is both elegant and energetic, making it perfect for young women.

The oval neckline features a layered and pleated design that follows the edge of the collarbone, neither exposing the chest nor compromising the feminine allure.

"How about this, you can try it on first. With your tall and slender figure, I think you can definitely pull off this dress."

After the introduction, the female shop assistant made a suggestion.

Evening gowns are a type of clothing that places high demands on a woman's figure, especially her height.

Ideally, one should be 1.7 meters tall, but many Japanese men are not necessarily 1.7 meters tall.

However, Zhao Ruixue didn't need to worry about that. She simply took the clothes and followed the shop assistant into the fitting room.

"what do you think?"

"I think it's great, it suits Ruixue very well, but this dress doesn't look cheap."

"Of course it's not cheap. Although I didn't see the price, it must be at least tens of thousands."

"As long as Ruixue is happy, that's fine."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled calmly, and the two sat on the sofa, chatting casually.

Shortly after, the door to the changing room opened.

Zhao Ruixue, dressed in a black evening gown, walked out, instantly drawing everyone's attention like a black hole.

The elegant black dress fit Zhao Ruixue's tall and slender figure perfectly, making her snow-white skin appear even more radiant and dazzling.

Her slender, snow-white shoulders were exposed, and a black silk ribbon pressed against her collarbone, wrapped around her delicate neck, and extended to her back.

The girl's long, swan-like neck was captivated by the intricate layered design of the neckline, and her beautiful collarbone was faintly visible beneath the neckline.

But what draws the eye even further down is how her already impressive breasts appear even more prominent and defined under the evening gown.

The waistline isn't taut enough to make the evening gown look tight, leaving some folds, but it still creates a delicate and slender aesthetic.

"H-How is it? Does it look good?"

Zhao Ruixue was aloof and didn't care much about other people's opinions, but as soon as she came out, she noticed that Cheng Kaiyan's stunning yet intense gaze was fixed on her, and she couldn't help but be captivated.

She walked towards her friend and childhood sweetheart with her head slightly lowered, suppressing her shyness as she asked.

"Let's take a look around!"

Cheng Kaiyan waved her hand gently and made the suggestion.

Under his gaze, Zhao Ruixue lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

A pair of slender arms hung down, pressing against the hem of her skirt, and she tiptoed and twirled a few times.

Her skirt swayed, causing her thick, dark hair to flutter behind her head.

Finally, the girl's slender, jade-like back, as pure and white as snow, was revealed.

The black silk fabric outlines an oval-shaped cutout on the upper back.

There are more than a dozen silvery, semi-transparent threads woven into the fabric, forming a simple butterfly shape on the back.

As Zhao Ruixue's body turned and the muscles in her jade-like back changed, her body shimmered, swayed, stretched, and tightened.

With each stretch and contraction, these silk threads flutter like the wings of a butterfly.

Absolutely stunning!

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath and held it. This beauty was truly stunning and mesmerizing!
"So beautiful!"

He couldn't help but comment.

Not only him, but also Uesugi Ayana and the shop assistants couldn't help but look at Zhao Ruixue with envy and admiration, their eyes filled with shock and amazement.

"Um……"

Zhao Ruixue nodded gently, a sense of pride and self-satisfaction rising in her heart. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at herself in the mirror.

After a long pause, she asked, "How much does this dress cost approximately?"

"Hello madam, this evening gown is priced at around 360,000 yen."

The female shop assistant suppressed her joy and answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruixue's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought.

A dress costs 360,000 yen? That's way too expensive!

"This dress is too expensive; it's not really suitable for us young girls."

Uesugi Ayana spoke up at the right time to break Zhao Ruixue's silence. At first, she thought the dress would cost at most 100,000 to 200,000 yen, but she never expected it to cost as much as 360,000 yen.

With that money, you might as well go and buy a Chanel, LV, or Burberry item.

“This…please reconsider. I really think this dress is perfect for this lady…it was designed by our Ms. Mori Hidee herself, it’s absolutely worth the price.”

The female shop assistant gritted her teeth and continued to persuade her.

"Let's forget about it. Ayana is right. Let's go look at other stores first."

When Zhao Ruixue looked at the radiant, noble, and elegant figure in the mirror, for a moment she almost thought that the person in the mirror wasn't herself.

I like it, but the price is just too expensive.

360,000 is basically three months' salary for an average college student.

"All right……"

The female shop assistant was very disappointed and was about to give up.

But at that moment, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"Three hundred and sixty thousand? I'll buy it and give it to Ruixue!"

Cheng Kaiyan and the other two turned their heads and saw several familiar figures walking in.

The speaker was none other than Yamamoto Ritsuto. With a confident and elegant smile, he slowly walked towards the three of them, his eyes naturally drawn to Zhao Ruixue's black evening gown.

"That's none of your business."

Cheng Kaiyan frowned, stepped forward to block Yamamoto Ritsuto's gaze, and said indifferently.

"Meddling? Ha!"

Yamamoto Ritsu pointed to himself and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Cheng Kaiyan, if a man can only watch a woman give up what she loves, then he is an incompetent good-for-nothing and has no right to possess her. You only have the right to say this if you want to buy Ruixue for her."

“And I am qualified.”

He spoke with a sarcastic tone while lightly tapping his fingertips in the air.

"I'm bored. Let me change my clothes, then we'll go."

Zhao Ruixue's gaze toward Yamamoto Ritsu was exceptionally cold. She whispered a message to Cheng Kaiyan and then turned to walk toward the changing room.

"Okay, I'll wait until you've changed your clothes."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and nodded, then took out her wallet from her pocket.

"Hey……"

Uesugi Ayana sighed. Although she also disliked Yamamoto Tatsuto, she couldn't help but feel disappointed upon hearing Cheng Kaiyan's words.

As for Yamamoto Tatsuto, he naturally revealed a contemptuous smile and feigned concern, asking, "Have you received Mr. Cheng Kaiyan's invitation yet? Do you need me to give you one?"

"call……"

Sun Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief; as expected, the car did not belong to Cheng Kaiyan.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Cheng Kaiyan waved her hand dismissively and said.

At this moment, Zhao Ruixue came out of the dressing room after changing her clothes and was about to hand the clothes to the shop assistant.

But then, Cheng Kaiyan suddenly spoke up and handed over a bank card: "Wrap this dress up."

The people present cast a variety of expressions: surprise, delight, unexpectedness, disbelief, and astonishment… (End of Chapter)
