Originally, they had planned to go directly to buy tools for drawing manga. However, with no rush, it gradually turned into something akin to a date, with the two of them strolling, chatting, and eating and drinking.
Lin Feng was naturally happy to go along with the situation.
At the very least, Shizuka now treated Lin Feng like an old friend in her daily life. They chatted without any awkwardness, and everything seemed to flow naturally.
At this moment, they happened to be strolling in front of a stall selling small accessories.
Among the dazzling array of rings, earrings, hair clips, and necklaces, a Butterfly Hair Clip quickly caught Shizuka's attention.
She couldn't help but pick up the hair clip and examine it carefully.
Although the stall was selling inexpensive trinkets, the workmanship of this hair clip was indeed quite exquisite.
The butterfly on it looked as if it were alive, ready to spread its wings and fly, which was indeed very appealing.
"Young lady, this hair clip suits you very well. There's a mirror here, you can try it on and see."
The owner of the trinket stall was a middle-aged woman, probably in her forties. She smiled warmly at Shizuka, not treating the elementary school student any differently than she would a potential adult customer.
Instead, she was incredibly kind and enthusiastic, regardless of whether Shizuka expressed any interest in buying something.
"Ah? No... I don't need anything, thank you, Auntie. I'm just looking."
Hearing the stall owner's words, Shizuka smiled a little awkwardly, intending to put down the Butterfly Hair Clip.
Lin Feng had already treated her to a lot of snacks and treats as they strolled along.
Even though Lin Feng kept insisting he had plenty of money, Shizuka didn't want to owe him any more favors.
"It's okay, Shizuka, just try it on. It doesn't cost anything to try, right, Auntie?"
Lin Feng had been watching Shizuka's reaction, and he could tell that she actually liked the Butterfly Hair Clip.
So, Lin Feng smiled at Shizuka and subtly winked at the vendor.
"Yes, that's right, little girl, why don't you try it? It's no problem."
The vendor, having received Lin Feng's signal, also smiled and invited Shizuka to try it.
"Well... okay, I'll just try it on."
Shizuka actually liked the Butterfly Hair Clip. Girls, you know, they can't help but be tempted by things they like, even if they say no.
As she spoke, Shizuka picked up the Butterfly Hair Clip, opened the clasp, and clipped it into her hair.
It's true that Shizuka's eye for fashion was pretty good. The hairpin's design was originally very cute and kawaii, and combined with Shizuka's beautiful face, it immediately gave a stunning impression.
Even Shizuka herself, seeing herself wearing the Butterfly Hair Clip in the mirror, couldn't help but smile happily.
"See, Shizuka, I told you. You have to try things to know if they look good. You know, this Butterfly Hair Clip really suits you."
Seeing Shizuka's happy smile, Lin Feng smiled and spoke beside her.
"Mmm…"
Since what he said was true, Shizuka didn't know how to argue. She could only nod her head in acknowledgment, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, she quickly took off the hair clip, intending to return it.
She knew that Lin Feng had already spent a lot of money before, so Shizuka didn't want him to continue buying her gifts.
"In that case, Auntie, how much is this hair clip? Please wrap it up for me."
Lin Feng naturally saw all of Shizuka's thoughts. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he paid for the hair clip before she could return it.
This action made Shizuka even more embarrassed, but she didn't say anything to refuse.
Lin Feng had already gone this far, and if she kept refusing, it would seem affected.
However, in Shizuka's heart, she became increasingly curious about Lin Feng's background and origins as an international transfer student.
But since they had only just met today, although their relationship had indeed been drawn closer because of the baked sweet potato incident earlier.
It would certainly be impolite to pry too much into the other person's private matters regarding their family background so soon after meeting.
Anyway, there would be many opportunities to interact in the future, and these doubts would naturally be resolved after they got to know each other better.
"Shizuka, this Butterfly Hair Clip looks great on you, why take it off?"
"You had it a little crooked just now, come, let me put it on for you again."
Seeing that Shizuka was still a little shy and conflicted, Lin Feng also smiled slightly. He then took the Butterfly Hair Clip from her hand, intending to help her put it in her hair.
Considering that they had only just met today, this kind of intimate act of helping her wear the hair clip shouldn't have happened.
Apart from Shizuka's mother, even Daxiong, who usually had a good relationship with Shizuka, hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment.
But for some reason, although Shizuka felt a little shy at first, she surprisingly didn't feel very repulsed by this feeling.
Recalling the walk they had taken together, chatting and strolling while eating and drinking, Lin Feng always gave Shizuka a sense of inexplicable security and trust.
So when Lin Feng made such a move, besides her face turning hot and red from shyness, she was also very obedient, slightly lowering her head to make it easier for Lin Feng to put the hairpin back on for her.
However, sometimes things just happen full of coincidence.
Just as Lin Feng was helping Shizuka put on the Butterfly Hair Clip.
Across the street, Daxiong happened to be passing by, and his gaze just happened to drift over in this direction.
Boom!
It was like walking along a road on a clear day and suddenly being struck by a bolt of lightning. Seeing this scene, Daxiong was stunned in place, his mind completely blank.
Daxiong really couldn't believe what he had just seen! His favorite, Shizuka, was actually standing in front of the new transfer student, Lin Feng, obediently lowering her head, letting him help her put on a hairpin!
