Girls are naturally more sensitive, and Mahiru's childhood experiences have made her understand far more than women her age.
If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.
This phrase is perfectly suited to describe Japanese women.
Once a daughter gets married, it's as if she's completely saying goodbye to her family, and even her surname will change as a result.
Whether a person will be bullied or whether they will have a good life is almost entirely in the hands of the man.
Mahiru wondered if Su Qing was emphasizing this point because of this consideration.
"You can be quite silly sometimes. Regardless of whether it's because of your parents, I don't want to bully you."
Su Qing chuckled and pinched Zhen Zhou's cheek. The touch was very comfortable, the kind of softness that comes from a baby's chubby cheeks.
"Are you bullying me right now?"
Mahiru looked up with some dissatisfaction and found Su Qing looking at her with a teasing smile.
"Hmm... that doesn't count, I'm just giving you a massage."
"You're just trying to fool me." Mahiru pouted unhappily, but didn't argue. "So you still haven't said whether you're right or not!"
"Is it...or not?" Su Qingyue laughed more and more, until she finally laughed out loud. "Why don't you take a guess?"
"Ah—you're bullying me!"
"I already told you, it's because you're so cute, it's an instinct etched into my genes... Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
Su Qing looked down at Zhen Zhou, who had stood up, with a look of astonishment. She was pulling down his collar with one hand, revealing his clean neck, and then buried herself in it like a vampire.
"Bully...go back..."
A girl's muffled voice drifted over, "This is called... an eye for an eye, right?"
……
?
Dinner ended around 6:30 p.m.
Su Qing is currently studying the pink app that Mahiru learned about today and trying to log into his account.
The pink app, known as Pixiv, started with anime series but later went down the path of creating educational videos and never looked back.
This script looks so familiar.
Su Qing thought of the old, broken website from before she transmigrated...
Do similar flowers bloom even in different worlds?
Su Qing sighed and stopped thinking about these philosophical questions.
He had a membership on this Pornhub site, after all, he had learned a lot from it before, but the problem is that Pornhub no longer exists in this world.
So he also spent money on this Pixiv site.
It's perfect for Mahiru, might as well use it.
However, Su Qing soon discovered something amiss when she logged into her account.
"Hmm? The new premium membership service agreement limits the number of devices that can be used by the same account. Violation will result in a permanent ban. The number of devices can be increased by upgrading to premium membership... The official interpretation right belongs to the official team, and users can only accept it unilaterally?"
Su Qing frowned and muttered to herself in an incredulous tone.
"Couldn't the world produce a flower similar to 'Mongolian Top Laner' to properly bless the person who came up with this idea?"
"What's wrong? Can't you log in?"
Mahiru came out of the kitchen at this moment and noticed that Su Qing's expression was not quite right, so she curiously came over.
"Um...it's nothing, just lamenting how ugly entrepreneurs are at being greedy."
"Eh...I see?"
Mahiru nodded as if she understood, but she didn't care much about these kinds of things.
So... they're sharing the same account now?
That's pretty good.
"Speaking of which, I have to go out for a while, it's quite important. So, I'll teach you again tomorrow, since it's the weekend?"
"I'm available anytime. Be careful on the road and come back soon."
Oh, right. Please take the hand warmers you gave me.

Chapter 338 Snow, Apple Tree, Obsession
?
The neon lights of Ginza lit up one by one in the twilight.
It was around seven o'clock at the time.
GINZA X is a shopping center that brings together many high-end brands.
The glass curtain wall reflected the blurry silhouettes of passersby.
The platinum necklace in the shop window shimmered with a liquid-like luster under the warm lights. Yukino's fingertips tapped lightly on the velvet fabric of the display stand, like a world-class pianist preparing for an audition.
"Cartier's panther collection is more suitable for evening occasions, but for everyday wear..."
Yukino's voice stopped abruptly.
She inadvertently caught a glimpse of a faint blush on Su Qing's neck, like strawberry jam seeping from the snow.
Did your girlfriend plant it?
Yukino's thoughts didn't wander for long before she quickly continued.
"Tiffany's irises are lovely. You're probably going to give them to your girlfriend, right?"
Su Qing stared at Yukino's fluttering eyelashes as she spoke. The jewelry terminology that was difficult for ordinary people to understand came out of her mouth as naturally and leisurely as snowflakes falling slowly in winter.
As Yukino turned around, the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms kept the distance between them just right.
She frowned slightly, and asked as if somewhat displeased, "Why are you ignoring me?"
Yukino left the Hikigaya residence around 7 PM, and just as she parted ways with Yui at the station, she received an invitation from her.
But she originally didn't want to come.
After all, Su Qing has a girlfriend. Even if they are friends with a decent relationship, they would still be misunderstood if they went out alone together, right?
Yukino didn't want it to be like this.
However, after hearing Su Qing's request, she finally agreed.
After all, for these luxury items, special research is still required.
Moreover... Yukino subconsciously didn't want to refuse a friend's rare request.
"I was just thinking, you really know a lot."
Su Qing withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the few items Yukino had mentioned, and said.
"Isn't that your reason for coming to see me?" Yukino glanced at Su Qing indifferently. "By the way, you still haven't told me what your budget is."
"Probably a few hundred thousand Sakura Coins."
Su Qing quickly came up with a number in his mind, but this was not his economic limit.
Rather, it is the psychological upper limit that Mahiru can accept.
If the gift is too expensive, the recipient will most likely feel bad or unhappy, given their personality.
If that's the case, then it would be a losing proposition.
"Really? Then there are quite a few styles to choose from."
Yukino nodded slightly, her gaze towards Su Qing filled with curiosity.
Hundreds of thousands of Sakura yen, while not much to her as the second young lady of Yukinoshita, is quite considerable for a college student who has no income yet.
Not to mention, based on her understanding of the other party, it was impossible for them to act tough.
Su Qing stared at the iris necklace the other person had mentioned, remaining silent as if deep in thought. After a while, she slowly said:
Do you think there might be a gardenia necklace?
"Gardenia?"
Yukino was taken aback, and searched her memory for a while but couldn't find a style that met her requirements.
"There should be some, but I don't know much about them. But since you have special requirements, if you're not in a hurry to deliver, come with me. I'll take you to some shops that specialize in custom orders."
Before long, Su Qing followed her to another shop, which had significantly fewer customers than the previous one.
Soon, a shop assistant came up to serve them.
She was a woman, probably in her early twenties, with a dignified appearance and a smile on her face.
"Dear guests, how can I help you?"
"If you want customization, I personally recommend Tiffany, but you can also choose other brands you like."
Yukino simply nodded to the shop assistant, seemingly used to such service.
"Then... I'll listen to you. After all, you know more about this than I do."
Su Qing didn't care about the specific brand; he only cared whether the store could be designed to meet his requirements.
"Um... really?"
Upon hearing this, Yukino's lips curled into a slight smile, like a rainbow suddenly appearing after the rain.
She suddenly realized that having others listen to her opinions wasn't so bad?
"So, what kind of item would this gentleman like to order?"
The shop assistant maintained a polite smile and remained respectful.
"A necklace inspired by gardenias, with small diamonds adorning the flower's stamen..."
Based on the ideas in her mind, Su Qing explained her needs step by step.
"Okay, we understand your needs. Would it be convenient to add each other's contact information?"
A dedicated person will handle the coordination, and the designer will provide design samples. If you are not satisfied, you can make adjustments.
Once the final decision is made, we will begin production, which will take approximately one to two weeks. You will need to come and pick it up in person at that time.
Also, because it's a custom order, you'll need to pay a 20% deposit upfront.
"Wait, this card should work, right?"
A platinum card reflected the light, like the reflection of an autumn lake.
Those were valuable gifts given to Yukino by some people who wanted to curry favor with the Yukino family when she attended the family banquet.
However, the person he was trying to curry favor with wasn't her, but her older sister, Yang Nai.
However, Yang Nai didn't seem interested in this, probably because she had collected too many similar items.
Therefore, after going around in circles, Haruno tossed it to Yukino like a toy.
According to Yang Nai, discounts are available here, but the specific discounts are unclear.
"Ah... it's a VIP card, which offers a 10% discount. Don't worry, we'll automatically waive this fee for you."
The clerk took the card and quickly verified its authenticity using a special machine.
"Thank you so much, I didn't know you had this kind of card."
Now that everything is done, all we need to do is wait for the designer's reply.
Based on the timeframe given by the shop assistant, Su Qing checked and concluded that it was possible to deliver it to Mahiru before December 12.6th.
December 12.6th is her birthday.
"There's nothing to thank me for. This card isn't entirely mine. If you want to thank someone, thank my sister and the people at the banquet."
Yukino shook her head. "I think I've fulfilled your request. Is there anything else?"
