Chapter 2

  Free gifts can't be taken endlessly either~~~~~

  Since receiving that strange business card, Yu Guo has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the usual train she takes every day. Although she's occasionally late, there won't be any severe punishment anymore. Now it's already the second half of her senior year, and teachers don't really care about students like her who are just average. Anyway, they can't contribute to the school's impressive grades, so they might as well enjoy their last high school days with the underachievers.

  Unfortunately, in this school approaching winter days, except for some sports clubs that are still continuing their training, other clubs have almost stopped all activities.

  School lets out early and there's nothing to do at home, so Yu Guo found a few part-time jobs in a large shopping mall. One of them was working in a clothing store that young girls love.

  Because Yu Guo is very tall and has a good figure, she's just like a walking clothes rack. After the store owner matched her with some clothes, she put them on and became a live model.

  The hourly wage is 1,200, working four hours a day, and it's almost 100,000 yuan a month. Although not much, at least more than that brother who stays at home playing games all day.

  "Xiao Bi, come quick, does that piece of clothing look good?"

  "My kid is so short, it doesn't look good when he wears it. Yui-chan, you're about the same height as that girl, why don't you try it on?"

  Two girls appeared in front of the store, one was about 1.7 meters tall and the other looked around 1.5 meters tall. This peculiar combination made Yu Guo couldn't help but take a second glance, the height difference was truly terrifying. Moreover, what's even more exaggerated was their voices, the taller girl had a voice similar to hers, both were mid-low pitched. The shorter girl, on the other hand, had a childish and cute voice. Two completely different types, yet they could be friends, truly rare.

  "Welcome." Yu Guo put away his curiosity and walked in front of the two people, smiling and saying.

  "Can I try on the outfit you're wearing?" The tall girl pointed to the apricot-colored rabbit hair onesie Yūka was wearing, "I'm sure we wear the same size, M is fine."

  "Okay, wait a moment." Yūka turned around and took out a set of clothes from the coat rack, leading the two into the dressing room.

  "Yu-chan, are you going to record with Sugita-senpai tomorrow?"

  "Uh-huh, what's up?"

  "It's nothing, I just wanted you to thank him for taking care of me when we recorded the radio drama before."

  "It's better if you say it yourself. And since the team leader is so nice, maybe you can even get a free dinner out of it."

  "I've been busy lately, so you help me express it for now. When I have the chance, I'll definitely come in person to thank you. Even if we're going out for a meal, it should be me paying."

  "If you pay, Tanaka and Nakamura-senpai will definitely come along."

  "What? This is backwards!"

  "You're not unaware that they're three in one."

  Two girls started chatting in the fitting room, and Yūko could tell from their conversation that they must be celebrities or something. Voice acting, radio dramas, and things like that aren't something ordinary people can get involved with.

  Couldn't help but take a few more glances, and Yu Guo confirmed his own thoughts. These two girls were very beautiful, and their attire was also fashionable, they absolutely wouldn't be ordinary people.

  But how could I have no impression of him at all? Actors, idols, singers, gravure idols, almost every profession that came to mind was scanned through, but still couldn't find a matching person.

  What profession will it be?

  While Yu Guo was still deep in thought, the tall girl walked out of the fitting room and smiled at Yu Guo, saying, "Your figure seems to be even better than mine, look, my chest isn't even lifted up."

  "But you see, your shoulders are a bit narrower than mine, looking more delicate." Unexpectedly, this girl was so straightforward, Yūka's face turned red, and she hurriedly continued to promote.

  "Really small? Haha!" The tall girl heard Yu Guo say that and immediately burst out laughing.

  The petite girl also covered her mouth and smiled, she deliberately took two steps back, escaping the aura range of these two female giants.

  She knew she had said something wrong, but Yu Guo didn't know how to make up for it. Although not a tongue-tied person, in front of strangers, her mind just couldn't turn around.

  "Cough cough, sorry about that." Luckily, the tall girl's phone rang at this moment, saving Yūka from extreme embarrassment.

  "Sugita-senpai, good afternoon." The tall girl said while still on the phone, and patted the shorter girl's shoulder with her hand.

  "Where am I now? Xiao Bi and I were just strolling around, what's going on?" The tall girl stared at the short girl with a smile until her face turned red.

  "Let's go eat, which restaurant?" He affectionately pinched the shorter girl's face, and the taller girl suppressed her smile.

  "It's very close, okay, we'll come over after we're done shopping." The tall girl raised her hand and pointed to the clothes on her body. She seemed to want to wear it directly and let Yu Guo pay the bill.

  Yu Guo saw the situation and hurried over to the counter, starting to help her fold the clothes she had tried on and put them into shopping bags.

  On this side, seeing the tall girl wanting to receive the line, the short girl quickly pulled her sleeve and made a few mouth shapes.

  "Oh, who else is coming? Is it going to be a lot of people?" The tall girl asked while nodding.

  "It's not that I'm shy or anything, I...I'll just go get you guys some...uh...snacks." The tall girl said casually, having spotted the decorated lollipops in the store.

  Upon hearing this, Yūko unconsciously took two from the counter and put them into another small shopping bag.

  "Mr. Nakamura, Mr. An Gen, hmm, and who else?"

  Taller girls report an extra name, and Yu Guo adds one more to put in.

  "Tanaka-san and Kamino-san are like conjoined twins."

  "Hey, Ishida-senpai is here too, what a rare occasion."

  Yu Guo lowered his head and looked at the shopping bag that was almost full, and quickly changed it to a medium-sized one.

  "Uh-huh, uh-huh, okay, I know, coming right away." She finally hung up the phone and the tall girl quickly swiped her card and left with two bags.

  Yu Guo glanced at the wall clock and found that there was still an hour and a half before his second part-time job. Today's sales task was barely completed thanks to this girl.

  ============================================================================

  As I walked out of the shopping mall, the neon lights on the street had already lit up. The colorful lights shone on Yūko's face, which was numb from the cold, but didn't bring any warmth.

  She pulled up her scarf, covering half of her face. She quickened her pace, she had to arrive at the store where her second part-time job was before the shift change in one hour.

  It's an izakaya where you can drink and have some small dishes, also they have BBQ and a lot of set meals. So after 6 pm, the store is always crowded.

  "Good evening, boss." Yūka walked into the kitchen from the back alley and greeted the store owner.

  "Ah, the spring water has arrived." The store owner was a very kind middle-aged uncle, wearing glasses and always with a smile on his face. "There are already customers coming, hurry up and change your clothes."

  "Yes, store manager." Yougu quickly picked up an apron from one side and put it on.

  It's just an ordinary izakaya, so there's no uniform, only a deep blue apron for each person. The owner is quite old, and wouldn't bother to follow the trend to make uniforms for employees.

  "Kobayashi, where did you buy so many lollipops?"

  Yu Guo walked through the kitchen and came to the corridor outside the private room. Before he had even passed by, he heard a man's voice. The voice was very pleasant, somewhat low but not dull. Especially when saying the word "lollipop", the playful tone sounded a bit cool. Should be a handsome guy, like a model reader.

  "It wasn't bought, it was a gift with the clothes." The one answering the man was a girl. Her voice had a slight huskiness to it, which sounded very comfortable. And also, seemed somewhat familiar?

  "Buying clothes comes with a lollipop, is it that kind of store?"

  "Hey, can't tell at all, Kobayashi!"

  "Hey Ono-senpai, that's enough! Are you trying to get into the top 3 with Kan-senpai and Onozaka-senpai?"

  "No, no, no, the title of NO.3 is left for Sugita. With him around, I'll never make it to the top five."

  "Hey, Kamitani, he's already placed you fourth without your consent." A different male voice cut in, sounding deeper than the previous one. Must be an older guy, although for some reason, his voice seemed to carry a hint of passion.

  "What are you even thinking, Ono didn't mention me at all." The third man, who should be the mentioned Kanzaki. His voice was very clear and extremely gentle. Even when saying refuting words, it was slow and lazy. College students without motivation were usually like this.

  "You're not..."

  "Yuuki is still here, so let's keep it down." The fourth man cut off the second man's words, his voice also sounding young and gentle, only slightly more magnetic than that university student called Kamitani.

  "Aren't you hungry?" a voice that was hard to distinguish as male or female said calmly, as if the lively atmosphere from before had not affected this person's emotions at all. The clear and elegant tone seemed out of place in what should have been a crowded izakaya filled with office workers, but rather like a high-end Japanese restaurant. Was this really the legendary "Queen Bee" that every company has?

  "Yes, let's talk about those topics after having a drink, let's order first." Yu Guo had not expected that there was a fifth man in the private room, and this man's voice was the lowest and most magnetic. Could he be the boss of these young people? The tone of his speech also sounded like a leader.

  "Ah, then I'll go call the waiter over."

  Just as Yu Guo was about to walk into the private room, a little girl said in a soft voice while opening the door.

  Unexpectedly, there was someone outside the door, and that little girl rushed straight into Youguo's arms.

  Didn't feel any pain, just felt that girl's unscientific chest rubbed against his belly, warm and soft.
