A Date with Kiana (Fake)

"Oh, so you mean it's my fault for being cheap and that's why this happened, that this is all my fault?"

Dong Moxuan had only made a casual remark, but he hadn't expected Kiana's reaction to be so unexpectedly strong.

Seeing Kiana's displeased expression, Dong Moxuan quickly denied it, "No, that's not what I meant. Don't spout nonsense!"

"Hmph!"

After hearing Dong Moxuan's words, Kiana let out a soft, cold snort and didn't bother him further.

After that, silence fell between the two.

"Hey, Xuan, what do you think of that store?"

After walking for a while, Kiana pointed to a luxuriously decorated furniture store and asked Dong Moxuan.

"Hmm, I think it's alright. Want to go take a look?"

Then the two of them walked into the furniture store.

"Wow, this style, this texture, it feels super nice!"

Standing in front of a classical-style single bed, Kiana touched the soft bedding while displaying an adorable expression that seemed on the verge of melting. It appeared she was very satisfied with the store's merchandise.

"And this sofa..."

"This table..."

Kiana clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes sparkling as she wandered around the store, her voice as clear and pleasant as a lark's song.

For an ordinary person, such exclamations of surprise would only be annoying, but when displayed by the cute Kiana, it was simply a delight to behold.

This world really is all about looks, isn't it...

Dong Moxuan, who had inadvertently glimpsed the truth of the world, rubbed his temples with a hint of helplessness and walked to the side of the silver-haired girl.

"So, are you decided on buying these then?"

"Mhm mhm mhm!"

The white-haired furball, her eyes seemingly twinkling with starlight, nodded frantically.

Then, as the sales assistant ruthlessly announced a string of numbers, the stars in Kiana's eyes immediately dimmed.

"Damn it, this price..."

"Hey, miss, can you make it a bit cheaper?"

"If this cute young lady buys everything she just mentioned, I can give you a 20% discount! And we can deliver it to your home for free."

"20% off..."

Upon hearing the sales assistant's words, Kiana lowered her head and began calculating with her fingers.

Unfortunately, calculations involving numbers with more than two digits were too advanced for the particular Paramecium, and she spent tens of seconds without reaching any conclusion.

However, she knew that even with a 20% discount, that enormous sum was still beyond her means.

In the end, Kiana dejectedly pulled Dong Moxuan out of the store.

"What's wrong, Kiana? Not enough budget?"

Dong Moxuan asked, looking at the white-haired furball beside him.

"Too... expensive..."

Kiana sighed softly.

"Then... how about that one?"

Aware that Kiana's budget seemed a bit tight, Dong Moxuan thoughtfully pointed her towards a furniture store that appeared to have very affordable prices.

It was just that it seemed a bit too affordable.

"Hey, what do you mean, you jerk? Do I look like a beggar?"

"..."

Chuckling dryly and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Dong Moxuan wisely decided not to insist on his suggestion.

Afterward, Dong Moxuan accompanied Kiana to many furniture stores, but unfortunately, Kiana was either dissatisfied with the price or the quality.

Finally, Kiana probably realized she was being a bit too demanding and, together with Dong Moxuan, found a furniture store with a moderate price and settled on their purchase target for the day.

"Hmm, I still really wanted the first one..."

As they walked out of that store, Kiana remained fixated on the first one they had visited.

"Too bad you're broke!"

Dong Moxuan remarked expressionlessly from the side, his words sharp.

"By the way, furniture is delivered directly to your home, so why did you ask me to come help? There's no point, is there?"

Dong Moxuan had only asked this casually, but he hadn't expected Kiana's reaction to be so unusually intense.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! I told you to come, so just come. Why ask so many questions? Is it that much of a hardship for you to go shopping with me?"

As Dong Moxuan finished speaking, Kiana froze for a moment, then as if recalling something, her cheeks flushed crimson as she delivered a tsundere triple-take, leaving Dong Moxuan dazed.

I don't remember Parameciums having a tsundere personality. Miss Kiana, your character setting is collapsing!

He thought this to himself, but seeing that Kiana seemed a bit off, Dong Moxuan didn't press the issue further. He quickly said, "No trouble at all, it's getting late, let's find a place to have lunch!"

"...Hmph!"

After looking at Dong Moxuan with dissatisfaction for over ten seconds, Kiana crossed her arms, let out a cold snort, and said nasally, "You find the lunch spot."

And then...

"This is the place you found?"

Looking at the words "xx Maid Cafe" in front of her, Kiana's gaze towards Dong Moxuan was filled with disdain.

"Going to a place like this, are you some kind of so-called otaku? Hmph, how disgusting!"

"Hey, what's wrong with being an otaku? Do otaku eat your rice? It's precisely because people like you are prejudiced against otaku that they live such difficult lives, you know!" Dong Moxuan immediately retorted, unable to let Kiana's clearly discriminatory words slide.

"Isn't that true? According to this country's standards, otaku seem to be a bunch of... potential criminals?"

Kiana said, rubbing her chin, her tone somewhat uncertain.

"What the hell is 'potential criminals'? That line, are you trying to be Ayase Aragaki? This is already personal attack territory, apologize to me and all otaku in the world right now!"

"Hmph..."

Kiana didn't speak, merely showing a look of disdain.

"..."

Seeing Kiana like this, Dong Moxuan could only sigh helplessly.

"If you really don't like it, should we find another place?"

"No need, this place is fine!"

Although her tone was icy cold, Kiana didn't seem to have any intention of changing their dining location.

"Welcome, Master!"

As soon as they entered, a maid greeted them.

She wore a cute maid outfit, had long chestnut hair, and a voluptuous figure.

Her pale orange eyes held a hint of moisture, and her voice was as soft as freshly fermented milk. This type of older sister figure was exactly Dong Moxuan's type, making him unable to look away.

"Stop staring, Porn轩, your eyeballs are going to pop out!"

Seeing Dong Moxuan's pathetic state, Kiana felt inexplicably annoyed.

She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Dong Moxuan's waist forcefully.
