"Um..."
Miwako nodded. She knew that Natsume rarely wore a suit. Even when he attended the Suzuki Group's 60th anniversary banquet, he only wore a suit without a tie. However, that was fine. When he wore a suit, he could use her tie clip!
"for you!"
Yumi shoved a long, rectangular box into Natsume's arms, muttering under her breath:
"The gift was so expensive! You'd better treat me to meals more often this month, or I'll run out of food. And—"
"These are all the women closest to you. Wouldn't it be a bit much to invite me here—I'm not like Miwako, I haven't slept with you!"
"Can't you be a little more reserved!"
Xia Ye was speechless at the wild and inappropriate words that came out of her little mouth. Didn't she see that Miwako had already started rolling her eyes?
"Besides, we're pretty close, aren't we? You forgot, last time—"
"There was nothing last time!"
Yumi blushed, recalling that romantic encounter, and quickly emphasized, "Anyway, I'm different from Miwako and the others; I'm still a virgin!"
This woman has such a beautiful face, but her words are so slurred and vulgar, she's just like Yukiko in that respect!
"Um..." Asai Makoto, standing beside her, shyly raised her hand, "Actually, I didn't either—Jun Hui over there seems to be one too..."
"You don't have any either!"
Yumi patted Honest on the shoulder and said seriously:
"Then you'd better keep it up!"
"???"
Honesty was completely dumbfounded. This guy, who was at the same level as me, was talking to me like that, like a senior.
Also, weren't you unwilling to do *that* with Xia Ye?
You're just saying one thing and meaning another, aren't you?
"I opened my present!"
Natsume opened Yumi's gift.
Sure enough, inside was a Hermès tie. Yumi and Miwako are definitely best friends; they even give each other matching gifts. But—
Why did you buy such an expensive tie?
Xia Ye tapped her head and gently scolded, "Why don't you just buy any old one? This thing is worth more than half a month's salary for you. Do you really want to starve?"
"oops!"
Eri, who was not far away, couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Natsume, scolding her:
"Yumi did it all for your birthday. Besides, if I just picked something randomly, you'd think I was being perfunctory. Humph, men!"
"That's it!"
"You get a bargain but still act nice!"
"Men are all pigs!"
Seeing that these beautiful women, both young and old, were starting to sway the entire male group, Xia Ye quickly stopped them with a wry smile:
"I surrender. I was wrong. I didn't fully appreciate Yumi's good intentions. I will accept this tie with deepest gratitude!"
"Hmph, that's more like it!"
"Cuckoo~"
Seeing Xia Ye surrender, the young girls couldn't help but giggle. Actually, they had all been egging her on; they knew Xia Ye's personality best.
He's incredibly gentle with girls.
How could we possibly ignore everyone's good intentions?
Even Eri, who had been trying to "make things difficult" for Natsume, suppressed a laugh and said coquettishly, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and accept the gifts, so many people are waiting!"
Speaking of gifts.
A barely perceptible hint of shyness flashed in Eri's eyes.
He glanced at Xiaolan subconsciously.
A gift!
Natsume didn't notice anything unusual about Eri.
Honesty has already presented its gift:
"Xia Ye, this is for you~"
Wow, it's so beautiful!
The girls all gathered around. In Chengshi's hand was a palm-sized conch shell. Its body was as white as jade, but the opening of the shell had crimson fire patterns, making it look like a burning torch or a phoenix reborn from the ashes!
Exquisitely beautiful, it's simply a work of art!
"It's really beautiful!"
Xia Ye, a man, thought this thing was very beautiful.
It's true that nature can produce many beautiful conch shells by chance, but honestly, the one in my hand is one in a million!
"Honest, where did you find it?"
Xiao Lan was bursting with curiosity. This thing would definitely be very expensive to buy, so it must have been found on the beach by honesty!
Xia Ye always says she's incredibly lucky, so I'll go and try to find some seashells too!
"This is it~"
Honestly, she glanced shyly at Xia Ye and said softly, "After finding out yesterday that today is Xia Ye's birthday, I had absolutely no idea what to give her as a birthday present, so I thought I'd go sit on the beach at Moonshadow Island, and that's when I found this on the beach..."
"what?!"
Everyone else looked on in surprise. Was it really that simple?
It feels like a conch shell is automatically delivered to your door.
"Ah for what!"
Xia Ye took the conch shell from Cheng Shi's hand, then wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her in front of everyone. After a long while, he looked up and smiled, saying:
"That's fate, you know!"
"Oh~~~~"
All eyes turned to Honesty, and they began to jeer:
"it's fate!"
"Don't look at me like that!"
Honesty blushed and buried herself in Xia Ye's chest, refusing to come out. Xia Ye, that rascal, really! So embarrassing in front of so many sisters!
Chapter 395 Kazuha's Hair Ties and Amulets~
Everyone teased Honesty a bit.
Then they all went about their own business.
Some were barbecuing, others were chatting.
Honestly, she's still a virgin. What if she gets shy and faints if I tease her too much?
The best way to tease someone is to take it step by step!
not to mention--
There are so many people waiting to give gifts!
If we delay any longer, it will take forever to deliver.
"Coming, coming~"
Sonoko, along with Kazuha, Ran, and Shiho, gathered the pretty girls of the girl group around Natsume.
Yuanzi stepped forward, took Xia Ye's hand, and said with a grin:
"How about it? Looking forward to it?"
"We've been waiting for you!"
Xia Ye pinched her cheek, grinning mischievously as he rummaged through her clothes, his hands clearly dirty: "Let me see!"
Sonoko knew perfectly well that this scoundrel was blatantly taking advantage of her, but she didn't care at all. In fact, she was even more eager than Natsume, and took the initiative to move closer.
It seems that——
The two are an absolutely perfect match!
"It's so indecent!"
Seeing the two behaving so improperly in broad daylight, Shiho curled her lip and slapped Natsume's mischievous hand:
"Stop fooling around! We have serious business to attend to!"
"Hee hee~"
Sonoko quickly grabbed Shiho's hand and pulled her over, while Natsume instinctively reached out and hugged her waist.
The two conspired together and subdued Shiho. Sonoko playfully lifted Shiho's smooth chin and chuckled:
"Shiho is jealous!"
"so cute!"
"Haha~"
Shiho sneered, her beautiful eyes like knives:
"If I were jealous, my family could open a vinegar factory by now. Also, Sonoko Suzuki, haven't you forgotten something?"
"I may not be able to beat Xia Ye, but I can easily handle you. Just wait and you'll get a spanking!"
"and many more!"
Garden was sweating.
She only remembered after Shiho reminded her!
Things are different now!
Xiaolan would never have stood by and watched someone bully her in the past!
However, Ran won't help him since he was retaliating against Shiho for flirting with her!
Although Shiho and Ran are childhood best friends, they are also very close friends now.
She will definitely choose to remain neutral and observe.
Thus.
If I face Shiho, I'm doomed.
They're so strong, I can't even beat them with one hand!
"Shiho-neechan~~"
"How about surrendering and losing half?"
With Sonoko's thick skin, she called out "Shiho-neechan" without any hindrance, and it was so sweet it was sickening!
Of course, Shiho is actually half a year older than her and Ran, so calling her "older sister" isn't wrong!
"I just can't do anything with you~"
Shiho looked helpless. She had been mature since childhood, and when she was with Ran and Sonoko, she always felt like she was the older sister.
As for Sonoko, he naturally wouldn't stoop to her level.
"Okay, let me go~"
"Eh~"
Sonoko obediently let go.
