110: Chapter 25 I Will Protect You_2 110: Chapter 25 I Will Protect You_2 The man in black glanced at the traffic.

Two wild electric scooter riders had thrust the few lanes into congestion rivaling that of a Friday evening rush hour, with honking and cursing voices interweaving incessantly outside.

“Damn it!

It’s jammed!”

(Shiyu Lianyi, I’ve rearranged the plan!

Take Kardesia to the 10th floor’s furniture sale first!)

Mr.

Shiyu, who entered the building with his crush, received the message from his ally.

(Are we going to buy furniture now?

I thought the original plan was to go to the cinema first.)

(I’ll be at the destination in 10 minutes and 33 seconds.

Bringing up the cinema might raise her suspicions, so let’s move up to the Second Stage first, then revert to the original plan when I arrive!)

(Got it.)

While mentally responding, the preoccupied Mr.

Shiyu said to the girl beside him, “Is it okay if we head to the 10th floor first?”

“Lianyi, don’t say I didn’t warn you, the furniture here is quite expensive.”

The young man in a suit nodded.

“I know.

It’s precisely because I’ve earned some money from part-time work recently and didn’t know how to spend it that I thought of coming here.”

The woman in a top hat rested an arm on his shoulder: “And you were worried you’d buy poor-quality furniture because you lack experience, which is why you specifically asked me to help check, right~?”

No, not at all.

The young man in a suit smiled and spread his hands: “Can’t hide anything from you.”

He led Kardesia onto the elevator, while the twin ponytailed girl’s suggestion echoed in his heart.

(Shiyu Lianyi, the ultimate goal of this operation is to have you two get married…)

(That’s Gongsun’s joke; it really doesn’t need to go that far.)

Qiluo’s voice seemed slightly panicked.

(Then, it’s a confession, right!

The final goal is to have Kardesia confess to you; is that understanding correct?)

(…Yeah.)

He felt his face grow hot and quickly moved past the topic to avoid awkwardness.

(According to Qin Qianbai’s plan, the conversation here should start with furniture and lead to a suggestion of cohabitation.

Shiyu Lianyi, are you absolutely sure you can smoothly push this topic forward?)

(…I’m not.)

The twin ponytailed girl’s sigh resonated, giving him a rare sense of being incompetent.

(Understood.

We’ll use insinuation instead!

Listen carefully, Shiyu Lianyi, once you’re inside the furniture store, lead her to the G10 shelf!)

The elevator arrived on the 10th floor, and the logo of a major chain furniture company lit up within the elevator.

“Let’s go, Kardesia.

Where do you want to start?”

The blonde girl looked at him with a half-smile.

“What do you mean, ‘where do I want to go’?

Weren’t you the one who wanted to buy furniture~?”

Shiyu Lianyi was momentarily at a loss for words.

“I’m used to it…”

“You know, it’s nice to act like a gentleman and stay by my side, but sometimes you need to take the initiative!

Any other girl would see this as indecisiveness.”

But if he said directly “I want to go to…”, he would just get lectured in return with “Don’t rush to assert what you want to do, you should accompany the lady like a gentleman first.”

Either way, Kardesia always had a reason.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Uh-huh, that’s more like it~ So, what are you planning to buy, Lianyi?”

And just like that, she turned the question back on him.

Same as ever.

“I’m thinking of starting in G section.”

Welcomed by the staff, the two entered the furniture store.

The mall had just opened not long ago, and customers were mainly concentrated on the lower floors; there were relatively few people in the furniture section.

The two followed the signs, winding through the maze-like assortment of categorized furniture.

“Every time I come here I feel like I’m wasting time.

You pretty much have to wander around to find what you want to buy; have they ever considered how the customers feel?” The blonde girl complained, but her eyes lit up seconds later, “Lianyi, look, this little cabinet seems nice!”

From your reaction, the furniture store’s layout is quite effective.

“Kardesia, you just got a new nightstand two months ago,” Mr.

Shiyu gently reminded her, “You said it would last for several years.”

“Ah…

right…

right!

I’m just thinking of buying a spare one!”

“Do we really have the space for it at home?”

“Sigh.”

She pressed her hat down in frustration: “Let’s go check out the pillowcases over there.”

As a result, he spent almost another ten minutes with the girl before making it to section G just a few meters away.

During this time, the young man in the suit had to interject several times to prevent his dear girl from impulsively buying things she either already had or didn’t need.

He admitted that he still quite enjoyed the process.

If it weren’t for the date they had planned, he might have been able to accompany her shopping all day, just like before…

…

Shiyu Lianyi snapped back to reality.

He couldn’t think like that; he had decided to take the initiative to make their relationship progress!

As they passed the sign for section G, Kardesia glanced at the description and asked in confusion.

“This is the children’s furniture area, isn’t it?”

(…Miss Qiluo, section G is the children’s furniture area.)

(You’re there already?

Great, I’ll find a way to get you movie tickets immediately!

The G10 shelf is on the left side two aisles after entering section G.

Hurry up!

This time Kardesia will surely realize your intentions!)

The young man in the suit wondered whether he should trust his friends’ advice.

Was this step Gongsun’s plan or Qiluo’s plan?

Children’s furniture area…

childhood?

Kardesia had always been a girl with a child-like heart, and she might find something she wanted here.

The obvious purpose was to buy furniture, but the real aim was to use the opportunity to bring up Kardesia’s memories, right?

He glanced towards the beddings area in the distance; that had been the initial target set by their ‘staff’ the day before.

—It certainly couldn’t be worse than Qin Qianbai’s suggestion to buy a double bed.

With that thought, Shiyu Lianyi decided to take action.

“I think what I want to buy is in this section.

I’ve thought about it, and I think you have the most experience in this area.”

“I got it!” Kardesia looked interested, “Is it an indoor slide or a mini basketball hoop?

I didn’t expect you to be interested in such things!”

Home toys were also sold in this area; as expected, Gongsun and their team had planned the childhood memories strategy.

Had they considered his background when coming up with this idea?

Shiyu Lianyi smiled bitterly to himself, realizing he had never had such playmates as a kid.

From this perspective, it seemed appropriate to use it as a means of opening up the conversation…

but he still had to avoid getting into those topics with Kardesia and subtly steer the conversation toward her childhood instead.

“Let me see, G10 is—”

Shiyu Lianyi and the eager girl turned their gaze to the area two aisles away.

Under the large sign marked with the number 10 was a cozy area, neatly arranged with various colorful pieces of small furniture.

Each piece didn’t take up much floor space, and surrounding them were safety rails for precaution, with comfortable white mats and small pillows in the center, creating a leisurely and serene atmosphere that was very comforting.

…

Even before he had come to the City of the Skies, Shiyu Lianyi knew the name of this kind of furniture.

“Hey, Lianyi.”

The plan had definitely gone awry.

He didn’t know whether he had misunderstood or Miss Qiluo had mixed up the plans, but something had definitely gone wrong.

Because, its name was…

“Do you really think I have a lot of experience in this area?”

Rarely, Kardesia’s voice seemed to carry a chill.

“Explain it to me, why would you ask me to help you pick out a baby crib?”

—Trapped, in a predicament.
