Seeing this, Dong Moxuan, who had been a bit awkward, regained his composure.

After all, in his impression, Kiana's flustered and shy appearance was very rare.

It seemed that even Kiana, who could say things like "I want to drink Mei's sister's juice," was unusually pure at this moment!

Shaking his head with a light laugh, Dong Moxuan lowered his head and ate his omelet rice.

After finishing the omelet rice, Dong Moxuan felt he had finished his lunch and looked up to observe the white-haired ball of fluff in front of him.

At this moment, the white-haired ball of fluff had gradually recovered from her awkwardness.

She had also finished her omelet rice and was eating the complimentary pudding with a small spoon.

Speaking of which, this paramecium in front of him was actually quite cute if it didn't talk!

These eyes, this nose, they really looked alike!

Could it be said that she was truly her daughter?

As if thinking of something, Dong Moxuan's eyes dimmed slightly.

Back then, if it weren't for...

And just as Dong Moxuan fell into a slump for some unknown reason, Kiana opposite him clearly noticed his gaze.

Noticing that Dong Moxuan seemed a bit unhappy, Kiana felt that she might have gone too far.

Although there was only one pudding, was it not good for her to hog it all?

Hmm, Kiana thought Dong Moxuan was unhappy because he wanted pudding! (Facepalm)

"Hey, that,"

With a blush, Kiana scooped up a spoonful of pudding and extended the spoon in front of Dong Moxuan.

"Don't say I'm hogging it, I'll share a bite with you!"

A boss like her wouldn't mistreat her subordinates, what was a little pudding?

She wouldn't be that stingy.

Hmm, Big Sister Kiana had subconsciously categorized Dong Moxuan as one of her subordinates.

Dong Moxuan: "..."

At this moment, Dong Moxuan had not yet recovered from his memories. Looking at Kiana's actions in front of him, his eyes were slightly dazed.

"Mr. Xuan, aren't you going to try it?"

In a daze, he actually superimposed a gentle girl with silver hair and blue eyes with the white-haired ball of fluff in front of him.

"Hey, are you eating or not! Xuan!"

Seeing that Dong Moxuan hadn't reacted, Kiana couldn't help but say somewhat shamefully and angrily.

"Eat... Eat!"

Dong Moxuan finally snapped back to reality, hid the sadness in his eyes, and took a bite of the spoon with a sheepish smile.

Not to mention, the pudding at this shop was quite delicious.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Kiana snorted lightly and withdrew her spoon.

She'd only share one bite, the rest was hers!

Lowering her head to eat the pudding, she held the spoon in her mouth and suddenly seemed to realize something.

She had just fed Dong Moxuan directly with this spoon, hadn't she?

Then wouldn't that be, indirectly... indirectly...

"Pervert! Lewd! Shameless!"

Kiana's face instantly turned as red as a tomato. She couldn't help but look up and curse "fiercely."

Dong Moxuan: "???"

Dong Moxuan, who was suddenly cursed at, was completely bewildered.

Afterward, Kiana's face remained red while she ate her dessert.

"Check out!"

Finally finishing all the food, Kiana seemed unwilling to stay any longer and quickly called for the maid to settle the bill.

The chestnut-haired maid walked over, smiled, and stated a number. Then, from somewhere, she produced a pair of fluffy charms.

"These are special couple's phone charms from our shop. Wouldn't the two of you like a pair?"

"Hey, since they're special for couples, shouldn't they be a free gift with the 'Couple's Set'?"

Facing Dong Moxuan's questioning, the young lady smiled and shook her head, her eyes revealing a glint of the familiar cunning merchant's light that Dong Moxuan knew well.

"Are you really not considering it? It's only 1000 Yen!"

Hey, these two little things cost 1000 Yen?

Even though Waguo's prices are relatively high, this is too much of a rip-off, right?

Dong Moxuan thought to himself, but Kiana's eyes showed a look of excitement.

After all, girls always have no resistance to cute things, even Kiana, who has a "pervert" attribute.

These two keychains were fluffy, a bit like a creature called "Maoyu" from a certain Eastern series. Dong Moxuan figured he'd mentally comment, "Kiana, someone made your original form into merchandise, sue them for infringement!" But Kiana clearly adored her "original form."

However, after she took out her wallet, her expression stiffened slightly, and she tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"No, no need. Let's pay!"

The maid, seeing that Kiana was the one paying, looked a little surprised.

She didn't say much, just gave Dong Moxuan a look of slight disdain.

Such a handsome and spirited young man, too bad he's a gigolo.

Dong Moxuan: "………………"

Hey, hey, hey, what's with that look, miss?

Do you even know what happened?

And you're already slandering me like this.

Feeling the maid's contemptuous gaze, Dong Moxuan gave a slight twitch of his lips.

"Ahem, Kiana, you wait for me outside. I need to use the restroom!"

"Eh? So many things to do!"

Muttering with a hint of annoyance, Kiana paid and got up to leave.

She waited outside for a few minutes before Dong Moxuan finally arrived, a bit late.

"What next?"

Dong Moxuan asked Kiana.

"I've bought everything I wanted. There's nothing else to do, you can go back now!"

You've spent all your money, haven't you?

Dong Moxuan thought to himself, but he didn't follow Kiana's suggestion.

"Do you want me to walk you home?"

"What? Are you trying to find out where I live so you can plot against me?"

Seeing the Paramecium with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed suspiciously, Dong Moxuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

But before he could speak, Kiana lowered her arms and said with a soft scoff, "I doubt you'd dare do anything. Since you're so eager to know my address, just follow me!"

Dong Moxuan: "…………"

With a soft sigh, Dong Moxuan reluctantly followed.

To his surprise, the apartment Kiana rented was only a few hundred meters away from Mei's place.

Is this what they call fate?

Dong Moxuan thought to himself.

"Alright, this is far enough!"

Standing by the roadside, Kiana turned to Dong Moxuan and asked, "Or, would you like to come over to my place for a bit?"

"No, thank you!"

Dong Moxuan waved his hand with a dry laugh.

Their relationship wasn't close enough for that yet.

"Also... also..."

Seeing Dong Moxuan about to leave, Kiana quickly called out to him.

"Th... thank you for today!"

Saying this with a slight blush, Kiana fiddled with her braided hair somewhat self-consciously.

It seemed that even Kiana knew it was a bit willful to suddenly ask a stranger she had just met to accompany her shopping.
