He had originally intended to buy a Kimono, but after learning that Kimonos were so troublesome to wear and required assistance.
Lin Yi decisively switched to buying a Yukata.
While Ran was selecting a suitable Yukata, Lin Yi took a moment to check his phone.
When he saw Nakamichi Kazushi actively leading everyone to play Doubles Ball, he was momentarily stunned.
Lin Yi never expected that Nakamichi Kazushi would actually Assist him!
Lin Yi then analyzed the situation and quickly understood his motive for doing so.
"As expected... good deeds are rewarded."
Lin Yi looked at his phone and couldn't help but laugh.
He had been slightly worried about whether Horie Yumi alone could handle Mouri Kogoro.
Now it was better; there was an extra person choosing to help Horie Yumi for his own benefit.
Two people against one—as long as they poured him a few extra drinks during the evening drinking session.
Lin Yi estimated that he wouldn't even need to intervene personally.
This was good news!
Seeing this, Lin Yi stopped reading.
If Ran found out that his phone could directly connect to the surveillance cameras inside the Hot Spring Inn.
Otherwise, she would definitely demand that he monitor Mouri Kogoro in Real-time Monitoring.
If that happened, Mouri Kogoro wouldn't be able to re-experience the Warmth of the World.
Glancing at Ran, Lin Yi realized he had overthought things.
Ran was currently focused on choosing a Yukata that suited her; her attention wasn't on him at all.
What men consider suitable is completely different from what women consider suitable.
The most typical example is in finding a partner.
When a man says he's looking for a suitable person.
That suitability truly means suitable; their requirements for a partner are not high, and as long as the overall score isn't too much lower than theirs, they can accept it.
When a woman says she's looking for a suitable person.
That suitability encompasses many things and takes all aspects into consideration.
For example, life, work, savings, social circle, spending habits, hobbies, leisure time, and so on.
Only when all of these, or at least most of them, are suitable is it truly considered suitable.
When Lin Yi bought a suitable Yukata, he bought one that fit well; he didn't care about the patterns, styles, or colors.
But for Ran to buy a suitable Yukata, it had to be suitable for her in terms of material, pattern, style, and color to be called suitable.
"Sometimes, thinking carefully, it's not easy for women to shop either."
Lin Yi sighed slightly with emotion, but then, seeing the joyful smile blooming on Ran's face, he corrected himself: "I was overthinking it... they enjoy it."
Lin Yi only took ten minutes to choose a Yukata, while Ran had already spent thirty minutes.
This shop had quite a few Yukata styles. Ran spent this long just choosing the garment; if Headwear was included, it would probably take over an hour.
The waiting time was a bit boring, so Lin Yi decided to find something to occupy his time.
Just then, a group of Female High School Students entered the store.
They happily began selecting Yukatas that suited them.
Lin Yi looked around and noticed that no other Sales Assistants went up to them, probably because there were too many people.
Scanning the group of Female High School Students, Lin Yi noticed that their Appearance Value was quite high.
Lin Yi's heart stirred. He took two steps forward to Strike up a conversation, saying with a smile, "Do you need me to recommend a suitable Yukata for you?"
As soon as the Female High School Students saw Lin Yi, they were instantly shocked by his Appearance Value, and their favorability immediately shot up.
The group of Female High School Students began surrounding Lin Yi one by one, chattering away.
"You are so Handsome..."
"Are there this many Handsome Guys in Tokyo?"
"Handsome Guy, could you help me pick a Yukata that suits me?"
"Help me pick one too."
"..."
Of course, among these Female High School Students, while some were crazy about Lin Yi's handsomeness, others were naturally unimpressed by his Appearance Value.
After all, everyone has different tastes, and some people always have unique preferences.
But it didn't matter; Lin Yi didn't need everyone to like him.
He only needed to Flirt with the girls who liked him.
"Alright, alright, don't rush, one at a time..."
Lin Yi smiled as he picked out Yukatas for them.
He wasn't very good at dressing up; his usual outfits were handled by his wife, and he just had to wear them.
Lin Yi wasn't sure what kind of Yukata suited them, but he knew he couldn't go wrong by choosing the expensive ones, and then he showered them with random compliments based on their physical features:
"I think this Yukata suits you... it perfectly shows off your figure."
"This Yukata is also good; it can accommodate your breasts."
"This Yukata was made specifically for you; it shows off your long legs!"
"..."
These Female High School Students looked at the Yukatas Lin Yi recommended, their hearts filled with joy.
"This material is really nice... it feels so smooth to the touch; it must be very comfortable to wear."
"This pattern is so cute... I really like it."
"Yeah, I like it a lot too... but the price is so expensive."
"Yeah, it's over twenty thousand."
"..."
Lin Yi watched them cautiously discussing whether to buy them and slowly broke into a smile.
He said, "I see you like them but are hesitating... how about this: whoever gives me a kiss, I'll give her a Yukata as a gift?"
"You'll give it to us if we kiss you?" Some girls felt a bit tempted after hearing this.
But some girls just wanted to get a freebie: "Do we have to kiss you? We're so cute, can't you just give them to us?"
Lin Yi said with a smile, "It's just a kiss, it's not like it's anything excessive... besides, it doesn't have to be on the face. You can kiss my hand, my neck, or of course, you can kiss my lips."
"It's so embarrassing." The girl next to Lin Yi fidgeted shyly, but her expression showed she was eager to try.
Lin Yi immediately focused on her as a breakthrough point and smiled, "What's there to be shy about? It only takes a second."
"Then... I want to kiss... your hand." The girl was already eager, and after Lin Yi said that, she naturally stopped hesitating.
Lin Yi reached out his hand and let the girl give it a kiss.
"Alright... I'll pay for your Yukata. If you don't like the one in your hand, you can pick another one."
"Then... I'm next."
"Where do you want to kiss?"
"The ear, is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem."
With someone taking the lead, the girls behind her all abandoned their last bit of reserve and lined up to kiss Lin Yi one by one.
Those who were timid and shy kissed his hand or arm, while the bolder ones kissed his face or lips.
In the end, not only did they get the Yukatas they liked, but the shopkeeper also made a big sale, and Lin Yi was grinning too.
The cost was just a small amount of money!
It was a triple win!
Lin Yi thought happily to himself.
Feeling a cold gaze from behind, Lin Yi looked back and met the stern face of Ran.
Here it comes, the glare of death.
