Preparation

"Pfft."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

At the dining table, the two of them, who had looked perfectly composed a moment ago, choked at the same time.

"You really went and got all that stuff?"

The moment Su Ruo heard Chu Yu mention cosplay costumes, her expression changed.

"Of course I did. Haven't I been asking what styles you like for the past few days? Don't tell me you've changed your minds now. You were the ones who told me to take you in the first place." Chu Yu's expression turned serious.

"Not exactly. I'm just amazed you got everything so quickly!" Zhao Qinyin said softly.

"Naturally. This is one of the perks of having money. A lot of 2D fans on Japan Island have been scrambling to buy similar costumes lately, and my standards are pretty high. These things are in huge demand. But when I offered four times the usual price and ordered thirty-six outfits at once, the seller turned away their other customers and even had everything air-freighted to me."

Seeing the excitement and pride Chu Yu could barely hide, along with the uncharacteristic air of extravagance he let slip, the two women broke into a sweat.

This was nothing like the Chu Yu they knew!

He might have money, but he wasn't at all extravagant in his daily life. He even saved shopping bags to use as trash bags, rinsed out empty detergent bottles and reused them to add water to the washing machine, and carefully packed up takeout he couldn't finish, so he could give it to the stray cats nearby when he went for a walk to digest his food.

Considering the time involved, though, the time Chu Yu spent rinsing detergent bottles, packing leftovers for stray cats, and saving shopping bags was probably worth more
