Virgo walked all the way to the commercial center, the night wind gently blowing her hair.
Her pursed, thin lips exuded coldness, and her delicate, fair profile displayed a charm unique to Virgo.
For a moment, Wang Hao, who was following behind her, was somewhat lost in thought.
He usually didn't feel anything in particular.
But when the two of them were alone, without acquaintances around, he found his heart always accelerating inadvertently when he saw her.
Wang Hao didn't understand what kind of feeling this was, only treating it as an unknown physiological reaction.
"What are you looking at?" Virgo turned her head and saw Wang Hao standing still, lost in thought, and frowned slightly.
Virgo's eyebrows were not very soft; on the contrary, they were quite sharp.
At a glance, they gave a sense of keenness.
"Ah... I didn't feel it normally... but now... I think you look very beautiful."
Wang Hao came back to his senses, scratched his cheek, and told the truth.
Virgo's pupils dilated slightly, and she turned her head away: "Hmph, do I need you to tell me?"
"Hurry up and follow."
The night intertwined with the lights, flickering between bright and dim, concealing the slight blush on the girl's ear tips.
"Oh."
Wang Hao responded, following Virgo into the mall.
Today was May 20th, and there were an unusually large number of people at the mall.
Couples were almost everywhere, holding hands and smiling at each other.
Virgo skillfully walked towards the maid outfit specialty store on the second floor—Cloud Apron Event.
The store was large, and many girls were dressed in maid outfits.
Virgo waited for Wang Hao for a moment before entering the store.
Seeing the dazzling array of clothes, Virgo's eyes lit up.
Wang Hao had seen such an expression before, the first time during a mission in the armory.
And another time, when he gave her coins.
So she liked maid outfits that much?
Wang Hao quietly kept this thought in his heart.
He followed behind Virgo, watching her touch this, touch that.
She picked up this hair accessory and hung up that earring.
Wang Hao had never seen Virgo like this before; he just felt that she seemed to have more vitality this way.
"How about this hairpin?"
Virgo turned her head, placing a dark blue enamel iris clip above her ear.
"Cool-toned petals, perfectly outlined with silver thread, it suits you perfectly."
Wang Hao commented.
Virgo's eyes brightened slightly, and she placed it into an exquisite shopping bag: "Then this one it is."
Walking and stopping, Virgo seemed to spot something she loved and quickly walked towards it.
She picked up a hair accessory and tried it on.
After looking in the mirror herself, she looked at Wang Hao again: "This one, take a look."
Wang Hao's eyes lit up, and he carefully examined it.
But as he looked, Wang Hao unconsciously frowned and stepped forward; he had been a bit too far away just now and couldn't see what material it was made of.
Virgo saw Wang Hao constantly approaching her, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
He only stopped when he was a fist's distance from her.
Virgo felt a movement above her head; Wang Hao was holding the hairband.
"Ultra-thin Teflon film, non-reflective, non-floating, creating a 'floating' effect with false shadows."
At this point, Wang Hao frowned and stroked his chin.
Virgo, seeing this, thought Wang Hao didn't like it and shook her head slightly, preparing to put it down.
"If you wear it... it's very..."
Wang Hao's voice sounded again, and Virgo raised an eyebrow, looking at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Very..."
Wang Hao's brows furrowed even tighter, as if he was deep in thought.
Virgo rolled her eyes at Wang Hao: "Very what?"
She felt that some unpleasant words were about to pop out of Wang Hao's mouth.
Wang Hao was anxious now!
What was that word in "Understanding Women's Hearts 3000"?
He couldn't remember!
Virgo, seeing Wang Hao remain silent for a long time, said impatiently: "Say it or don't!"
When Wang Hao heard the word "love," his heart felt like the clouds had parted and light had appeared.
"Right! Very cute!" Wang Hao said solemnly.
Virgo was slightly stunned, then two blushes flew to her cheeks.
She quickly turned her head away: "Is... is that so?"
"Yes, that's the word!"
"Then... then take this one too..."
After it was packed, Virgo walked elsewhere, her steps much lighter.
Wang Hao looked at Virgo thoughtfully; Young Master truly did not deceive him.
It really worked!
Walking and stopping, Virgo finally arrived at the maid outfit section.
Wang Hao's gaze immediately fell on the central display cabinet; he felt that was what Virgo wanted.
Sure enough, Virgo went straight there.
The display sign had four large characters engraved on it—[Moon Hidden Glaze].
Below it read: [Inspiration: Ice Lake under Moonlight].
Virgo walked directly to the sales assistant: "Please get me a set."
The sales assistant's eyes lit up when she saw Virgo: "Okay! This one suits you very well! And it's the last set left!"
The moment she saw Virgo, she felt that Moon Hidden Glaze was perfect for the girl in front of her.
When the sales assistant placed an exquisite medium-sized wooden box in Virgo's hands, she showed a satisfied smile.
"Let's go," Virgo called out, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Just then, a couple arrived, panting, and the girl asked the sales assistant: "Moon... Moon Hidden Glaze, do you still have it?"
The sales assistant looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, the last set has already been sold."
The girl sighed: "We still didn't make it."
The boy beside her, however, saw Virgo holding the box not far away; he pointed and said: "Honey, look, that person seems to have it in her hand, and she hasn't paid yet!"
Hope appeared in the girl's eyes, and she tugged at the boy's sleeve: "You... why don't you go and discuss it with them?"
"Okay, as long as it hasn't been paid for," the boy said confidently.
Wang Hao was currently listening to Virgo's endless introduction of the Moon Hidden Glaze:
"Its colors are primarily frosted white, misty blue-gray, and matte silver."
"The main body of the skirt is matte satin, paired with glacial gauze."
"The antique silver buckles and chains give it a vintage feel."
"A high-necked, cinched-waist shirt, an A-line trailing half-skirt, and a deconstructed, subtly patterned apron."
"Ice crystal bow tie, meteorite waist chain, fingerless mesh gloves, especially the miniature blue zircons embedded at the glove's knuckles, which are like congealed ice drops—a perfect finishing touch!"
Wang Hao looked at the somewhat excited Virgo, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Virgo like this was also very beautiful...
Suddenly—"Excuse me, both of you."
The introduction came to an abrupt halt, and the two turned their heads.
Wang Hao asked suspiciously: "Is there something wrong?"
The boy, bringing the girl along, showed an apologetic expression: "I'm very sorry, but I would like to ask if you could let us have the Moon Hidden Glaze set you have?"
Virgo frowned slightly: "Why should I?"
The boy's eyes darkened: "The day after tomorrow is her stage performance, and this is her last one in college."
He smiled bitterly:
"But this Moon Hidden Glaze set sells too quickly; we've already run here several times."
"If you're not in a hurry, could you let us have it first?"
Virgo looked at the boy, then at the girl's sad and downcast appearance, and sighed softly.
Forget it, she wasn't in a hurry anyway.
"Then..." Virgo was about to agree to give it up when Wang Hao interrupted her.
"Is this the only store in Jiangcheng?"
Wang Hao asked calmly.
"Uh, there's one more."
"Then why didn't you go there?"
"Time is tight..."
"How long does it take to restock?"
"Two... two days..."
"When was your partner's last rehearsal?"
"Four days ago..."
Wang Hao said calmly:
"The last rehearsal was four days ago, and restocking takes two days. Even if I assume it sold out every day, you would have had at least two opportunities."
"It's 7 PM now, and the last set just sold."
"May I ask what you were doing during the day?"
The boy froze for a moment, listening to Wang Hao's sharp questions.
The girl bit her lip: "We... we had important matters during the day."
Wang Hao crossed his arms: "Okay, so let's say you had something more important than this during the day."
"Then why couldn't you ask someone else to buy it? Don't you have friends?"
"And to go one step further, the last rehearsal was four days ago, and a stage performance can't possibly have only one rehearsal."
"So I ask, with all that time four days ago... what were you doing?!"
Wang Hao's gaze was like a knife, and Virgo beside him had her mouth slightly agape.
These words left the couple speechless.
The boy's expression turned displeased: "If you won't let us have it, then don't; why are you blabbering so much?"
Wang Hao sneered: "You expect us to pay for your mistakes, and you even try to stand on moral high ground."
"What I hate most is moral blackmail, things like 'last time,' 'very important,' and so on."
"Using other people's kindness to cover for your own mistakes."
"I won't indulge you."
With that, Wang Hao took Virgo's arm and walked towards the cashier.
He didn't want to see Virgo look disappointed.
He really didn't want to.
Virgo, meanwhile, blinked her sparkling eyes, following him in a daze.
So... so handsome...
Arriving at the cashier, Virgo placed the wooden box on the counter and fumbled around.
Oh no, she didn't bring her phone! And no wallet either!
"Didn't bring your phone, didn't bring your wallet? Then why are you buying clothes, really, you should have given..."
The couple reappeared nearby, and the boy sneered.
"Thwack!"
Wang Hao slapped a card on the counter, glaring coldly at the couple.
Meaning: Shut up.
The boy swallowed, scoffed, and then left.
Even after leaving the mall and reaching the plaza, Virgo was still somewhat dazed.
How had she not realized Wang Hao had such a side to him?
At this moment, a sweet, childlike voice appeared:
"Brother, brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for the big sister!"
