Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Inside the clothing store.

Ye Jingchen placed Erii on the rest bench, squatted down, and rolled up her sleeves.

He slightly rolled up the long hem of his erii kimono.

She took off Erii's wet white socks.

When Erii saw Ye Jingchen making a move to wash her feet, she shyly reached out and patted Ye Jingchen's shoulder, saying, "Ye-kun, Erii can do it herself."

Realizing she had spoken, Erii hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, lowering her head like a child who had done something wrong.

The receptionist next to her smiled slightly when she heard Erii speak, thinking to herself, "Oh? So this pretty red-haired girl can talk! I thought she was mute because she never spoke. Thank goodness, they're a perfect match."

Ye Jingchen looked up and smiled at Erii's face, "It's okay. If Erii feels embarrassed, she can wash my feet once she has the chance, haha."

Erii nodded softly; she was never one to refuse.

Ye Jingchen reached out and tested the temperature of the water in the basin. The water was just right, warm and cozy. The receptionist was very attentive.

He gently placed Erii's cool, white, and tender little feet into the water, looked up at her, and asked softly, "Eri, is the water temperature right?"

Erii nodded shyly, her toes pressed tightly together. This was the first time someone had washed her feet, and Erii had never tried a foot bath before.

Ye Jingchen tickled Erii's sole with a mischievous grin. "Don't be nervous, relax, it'll be over in a bit."

Erii endured the tickling sensation, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of her shrine maiden kimono.

Ye Jingchen massaged the acupoints on Erii's little feet, which had the effect of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation and regulating Qi.

When Ye Jingchen was struggling to survive at the bottom of another world, he worked as a foot massage technician in a foot massage parlor for three years. His massage skills, if not superb, could certainly be described as masterful.

Under Ye Jingchen's superb massage technique, Erii sometimes frowned, sometimes relaxed, sometimes pursed her lips, and sometimes gritted her teeth.

In just ten minutes, her originally cold and tender little feet became warm, rosy, and steaming.

Ye Jingchen reached out his hand to the stunned receptionist standing to the side, opened his palm, and smiled.

The receptionist then came to her senses and handed Ye Jingchen a clean white towel that had been prepared beforehand. "Sir, you are so good to your girlfriend. Did you learn massage especially for her? I feel very comfortable just watching you do it."

Ye Jingchen did not answer the receptionist's question, but carefully wiped Erii's feet. After wiping her feet...

The receptionist held out both hands and handed over a pair of new cotton socks. Looking at Ye Jingchen and Erii, her eyes were full of sincerity. "These are complimentary socks. Please don't find them offensive."

"Thank you!" Ye Jingchen gave the receptionist a deep look, took the socks, put them on Erii's little feet, and put on her shoes. "Does Erii's shoe fit? Stand up and try it on."

Erii stood up from the stool, stomped her feet, and spun around in place. The hem of her shrine maiden kimono spread out in a circle, blooming like a lotus flower.

Erii glanced at herself in the dressing mirror, looking at the beautiful boots with satisfaction. She turned to Ye Jingchen and nodded with a smile.

"I'm glad you like it." Ye Jingchen ruffled Erii's hair and smiled slightly.

Ye Jingchen turned to look at the receptionist and nodded to her, "Your service is very attentive and thoughtful."

The receptionist bowed slightly to Ye Jingchen and Erii, saying, "It's what I should do."

"Please pay the bill. If you offer VIP service here, I'd like to get VIP service as well. I'll come here often if I have the chance." Ye Jingchen took out his World Tree Bank card and handed it to the receptionist with two fingers.

"Arigato! (Thank you so much!)" The receptionist bowed gratefully to Ye Jingchen. She never expected that Ye Jingchen would bring up the VIP option before she even had a chance to recommend it to him.

Those who work in sales and hospitality have relatively low base salaries; their main source of income actually depends on commissions from product sales and VIP memberships.

For example, the commission from the sale of Erii's pair of white mink fur boots with rolled edges is equivalent to half a year's basic salary for this receptionist, while the commission from VIP transactions is equivalent to two months' basic salary.

In conclusion, the customer is king.

Ye Jingchen smiled slightly, "This is the reward for your sincere service; you should thank yourself."

The receptionist smiled happily and gracefully raised her hand, "Please come with me to the front desk. I have already selected leather gloves and winter hats for you. Please try them on and see if they fit."

Ye Jingchen pulled Erii along and followed the receptionist to the front desk.

Ye Jingchen looked at the two sets of cold-weather gear. They were black and white couple sets, with the black version being the men's size and slightly larger.

Ye Jingchen placed the white winter hat on Erii's head and patted it. "Does it fit? Does it feel cramped?"

Erii raised both hands, touched her hat, shook her head to indicate that she didn't need to close her head, and smiled as she gave a thumbs up!

She mimicked Ye Jingchen's unwavering expression, picked up the black winter hat, and stood on tiptoe, trying to put it on Ye Jingchen, but she was still twelve centimeters short of reaching it.

Ye Jingchen pursed his lips helplessly, squatted down slightly, and let Erii put the winter hat on him.

Erii patted the black winter hat on Ye Jingchen's head, carefully straightened the black brim, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Sir, you're from China, aren't you? Your vocabulary doesn't sound like that of modern Japan; it's a bit too elegant," the receptionist asked softly.

She swiped her World Tree Bank card on the card reader and wasn't intimidated by the seven-digit number on the screen. She thought it was normal for Ye Jingchen to have such a number in his bank account, given his temperament.

"The wording is too elegant?" Ye Jingchen raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for the rest of the text.

The receptionist had already finished processing the payment and was now processing Ye Jingchen's VIP status. She smiled slightly at Ye Jingchen and said, "Sir, your choice of words has a beauty that can only be found in books and in articles from the Edo period. I believe the beautiful girl beside you has also felt it!"

Ye Jingchen turned to look at Erii, "Erii, is that so?"

Erii nodded frantically. The first time she heard Ye Jingchen speak, she felt as if he had stepped out of a book.

"And the way the gentleman dotes on this girl is so enviable, it's really hard not to think that the gentleman is from China." The receptionist respectfully returned the World Tree Bank card with both hands. "This card account has been registered as a VIP account for our store. You can enjoy shopping discounts and VIP treatment at all our chain stores in Japan."

Japanese men tend to be quite patriarchal. They have traditionally viewed women as subservient to men, and even the women themselves often hold this view. They generally don't excessively pamper women.

Ye Jingchen pinched the World Tree Bank card between two fingers, stuffed it into his pocket, and smiled and nodded at the receptionist.

Pulling Erii along, she walked towards the store exit, saying, "Eri, come on, let's build a snowman."

"Congratulations on closing a big deal! Remember to treat us this weekend!" A female colleague of the receptionist walked over with a cup of coffee, looking at Ye Jingchen and Erii's retreating figures with envy, and said, "What an enviable couple!"

The receptionist pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes, that's right."
