After all of them are reborn, who would still want to marry 2.5 Jo Satoru?

Department stores in Yokohama don't have a lot of traffic.

Although the war had been over for some time, the economic recovery was very slow. People were already doing their best to survive and had no intention of spending recklessly.

Thus a vicious cycle is formed.

Working for more than ten hours is exhausting and leaves people with no extra mood or financial resources to go shopping.

With no one shopping, store sales continue to decline, leading to large-scale bankruptcies of businesses and more people losing their jobs, forcing them to keep looking for new jobs.

Looking for a job, working, unemployed...

Back and forth.

Miss Mei was a little luckier. The large department store near the port in Yokohama was unlikely to go bankrupt, and as a top student in the Foreign Languages ​​Department of Waseda University, she kept her job as a salesperson.

If it were in the past, she wouldn't even look at this kind of job, but in today's social context, it's already very difficult to have a job to support herself.

If she doesn't do it, there are plenty of people who will!

When Liuli walked in holding Ranpo's hand, Miss Mei's eyes lit up. Although the boy's clothes behind her were obviously shabby and outdated, the little girl's dress in front was all high-end.

"Would you like to buy anything?" Miss Mei asked with a standard smile and kind words.

"Clothes suitable for him." Liuli pointed at Ranpo behind him and said to herself, "He needs a Western-style shirt and trousers, an oilskin cape, and a detective hat."

"There are other everyday clothes. I won't need suits for now, so I'll just take three sets of casual clothes..."

As Liuli spoke, Miss Mei quickly moved, and one set of clothes after another was stuffed into Ranpo's hands. He went in and out of the fitting room like a little black cat wrapped in cloth and balls of yarn.

When Ranpo went in to change clothes, Liuli looked at Miss Meiyi as if she remembered something.

"Do you have jeweled cufflinks and jeweled bow ties?"

Mei nodded quickly, but couldn't help but say, "This is more suitable as an accessory for a suit."

"I know, it looks great with a black suit." She immediately took a liking to a pair of platinum cufflinks inlaid with green gemstones. "I want these. Please help me hold them up. I'll pay for them separately from my clothes."

This pair of gems looks very much like Lan Tang’s eyes.

Mei acted very quickly. In the past, there were men who brought their lovers to the mall. After buying a lot of things for their lovers, they would buy one or two things as gifts for their wives at home because they felt guilty or for some other reason.

At this time, they will tell the salesperson that the items need to be paid for separately. Mei is very experienced in this.

She would even kindly say to a regular customer who brought a new female companion: This is the first time I see you bringing a girl here.

However, while packing, she couldn't help but feel a little curious. Why did this little girl buy things separately?

When Ranpo came out, Liuli had already stuffed the box into her pocket, but Ranpo still saw it at a glance and couldn't help but curl his lips.

After praising the store profusely, Liuli skillfully paid the bill and left her address to the department store.

then

She took Ranpo to eat red bean rice cake soup and bought a lot of snacks before sending him home.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they were rushing back. Liuli bought a chocolate lava cake from a roadside shop and carried it home.

When I walked to the door, I ran into Lan Tang who was coming home from get off work.

Lan Tang came towards him in surprise, his steps full of joy. When he got closer, he reached out to take the cake.

"Adele, do you want a cupcake? If I had known, I would have brought one home."

"Two is too much to finish, one is just right." Liuli said with a smile, "I bought a gift for my brother."

She took out the exquisite box from her pocket, which contained two jewel cufflinks.

"I saw them in the window. When I first saw them, I thought they looked like my brother's eyes, so I bought them without hesitation."

Lan Tang placed the cake on the table and took the gift box. His expression was indescribably moving, and his golden-green pupils were like a deep pool rippled by raindrops, overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of happiness.

"I love so much."

He hugged Liuli and repeated, "I like it very much, Adele."

He likes jeweled cufflinks, and he likes the person who gave him the jeweled cufflinks even more.
