Chapter 9
doesn't seem to love it that much anymore.
Akane Nanao didn't come to her senses until she was pulled out of the jewelry store. When she saw Gen Hinata carrying a gift bag, she was a little curious about what Gen Hinata had bought, but being sensible, she didn't ask any questions.
As the two strolled around, they quickly finished shopping at the mall, and Hinata Gen changed his clothes again.
His already striking good looks were further enhanced by the clothes, making him even more dazzling. He attracted 200% of women's attention, and female shop assistants would occasionally slip him little notes.
This bothered him greatly.
After much pleading and cajoling from Gen Hyuga, Akane Nanao bought a high-end purple dress, paid for by Gen Hyuga, which made Akane Nanao feel even more indebted to Gen Hyuga.
But that's exactly the effect Hyuga Gen wanted. When it comes to picking up girls, you have to be willing to invest. This little bit of money is nothing.
Soon it was 10:30 p.m., and the mall was about to close, with people gradually leaving.
Hinata Gen and Nanao Akane walked at the back. As they stepped out the door, the fresh air immediately refreshed them and invigorated them.
"Yuan-kun, I will try my best to pay you back for the clothes."
Stepping out of the mall, Nanao Akane looked intently at Hinata Gen.
"Ugh!"
As soon as Akane Nanao finished speaking, she received a heavy blow to the forehead. The pain made her clutch her forehead, and she looked pitifully at Gen Hyuga, saying:
"Yuan-kun, why did you hit me?"
Hyuga Gen smiled and vigorously ruffled Nanao Akane's hair a few times.
"I insisted on buying this for you, what are you going to repay me for? If you say something like that again, you'll regret it, hmph."
As he spoke, Hyuga Gen glanced at Nanao Akane's round breasts, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.
"ah!"
Noticing Hyuga Gen's gaze, Nanao Akane quickly covered her buttocks with her hands, glared at Hyuga Gen, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Yuan-kun, you idiot!"
The two laughed and joked all the way and soon arrived at Shibuya Station. But at that moment, Hyuga Gen's expression changed, and he pulled Nanao Akane away.
Confused, Akane Nanao quickly asked:
"Yuan-kun, what's wrong? Your face looks terrible."
Hyuga Gen ignored her and continued walking forward until he had walked about five or six hundred meters away from Shibuya Station before stopping.
His face was extremely pale at this moment. He was still feeling lingering fear as he recalled what he had seen at Shibuya Station.
The moment he stepped into Shibuya Station, the world in Hinata Gen's eyes changed instantly; the subway was filled with countless ghosts writhing wildly.
Such a terrifying scene caused Hyuga Gen's sanity to plummet. He didn't even bother to explain to Nanao Akane and quickly grabbed her and ran away.
Just kidding, he doesn't have the same high level of mental resilience as Miko Yotsuya.
I didn't see any ghosts during the day, so I thought I was mistaken, but it turns out there really are.
"Yuan-kun, Yuan-kun? It hurts!"
"Um?"
Coming to his senses, Hyuga Gen realized he was tightly gripping Nanao Akane's hand. Seeing Akane's pained expression, he quickly released his grip and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Akane-chan, I lost my composure just now."
Akane Nanao shook her head, gently rubbing her sore little hand, and said:
"I'm fine, Gen-kun. What happened just now? You look scary."
Hyuga Gen, however, was unwilling to say more, and instead looked at Nanao Akane with a serious expression.
"Akane-chan, do you believe me?"
"believe!"
"If you trust me, let's find a hotel nearby tonight. We can't go to Shibuya Station anymore."
"what?"
When Nanao Akane heard that Hinata Gen wanted her to stay overnight, she panicked instantly. She wasn't fully prepared yet, how could it be so fast?
Seeing that Nanao Akane hesitated, Hyuga Gen explained:
"It's too dangerous at night lately. It takes at least an hour to get from here, and it's also close to our university. You can go to school right after you get up tomorrow."
When Akane Nanao heard that it would be dangerous at night, she remembered that there had been more and more news reports about ghouls eating people recently. Feeling a little scared, she could only nod and agree.
Then he took out his phone and told his parents that it was a friend's birthday party that night and he wouldn't be going home.
Seeing that Nanao Akane had finished making the call, Hinata Gen felt that tonight was all set.
A short while later, Hyuga Gen brought Nanao Akane to the entrance of a five-star hotel owned by the Hyuga Group. The doorman immediately came to greet him upon seeing Hyuga Gen.
Before the doorman could speak, Hyuga Gen stopped him with a look, and the very perceptive doorman immediately understood.
After following the procedure, we led Hinata Gen to the front desk and then walked back to the door.
Upon arriving at the front desk, Hyuga Gen winked at the receptionist and then spoke:
"Hello, please give me two rooms."
After listening, the receptionist pretended to check the computer system, then said apologetically:
"Excuse me, sir, there are a lot of tourists visiting Shibuya right now, and we only have one double room left. Would you like it?"
Hyuga Gen turned to look at Nanao Akane.
"Akane-chan, look!"
Akane Nanao simply lowered her head and remained silent.
Hyuga Gen immediately understood what she meant, and then said to the receptionist:
"Then please give us a double room."
After saying that, he handed over his bank card.
The receptionist was very efficient and quickly helped the two of them check in.
After entering the room, Hyuga Gen saw that Nanao Akane was not speaking, so he turned on the TV and pulled her to sit on the bed to watch a romance movie.
Before long, Akane Nanao was captivated by the scene on TV, her eyes filled with longing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Hinata Gen took out the Magic Alhambra necklace, worth five million yen, from the gift bag.
Akane Nanao turned her head and was immediately stunned, muttering to herself:
"What a beautiful necklace, Gen-kun! Did you just buy this? Why did you take it out?"
As she spoke, Akane Nanao was surprised to find that she actually felt a little expectant, and then she inwardly chuckled to herself.
"Nanao Akane, how can you be so delusional? You and Gen-kun are just ordinary friends, so why do you expect him to give you a necklace? Besides, you have a boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?"
Thinking about Katase Shoya's performance today, Nanao Akane felt only disappointment.
When things went wrong, her boyfriend ran away, but it was Hinata Gen, whom she wasn't very close to, who stepped forward to save her from the clutches of a pervert.
Thinking about this, Akane Nanao realized that she didn't seem to love Katase Shoya that much anymore; instead, it was Hinata Gen, who had saved her, who had completely taken over her heart.
