"Get off the car."
"Oh..."
Deny Aaron found a place to park the car, and Airi Sakura got off the car with him.
Deny Aaron had given up on teaching her the way around the city. After she sorted out her bank card and SIM card, he would install a map app for her. It wouldn't be a good idea for her to rely solely on a physical map.
They arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Deny Aaron went to get a queue number.
Foreigners need their passports and other identification documents to open a bank account in China, but it's not too complicated.
There were quite a few people at the moment, so they sat quietly on the waiting chairs.
Airi Sakura curiously looked around at the people and asked, "Will we be able to get the card right after we finish the process?"
"Yes."
"That's fast. In our country it's quite troublesome, where we can only get a passbook first and have to wait for the bank card..."
Airi Sakura chattered on and on, buzzing around Deny Aaron like a little bee.
He hadn't noticed yesterday that she talks so much. How come she suddenly has so much to say when we're a little more familiar with each other?
Used to the quietness of being alone, Deny Aaron felt quite uncomfortable with a chatterbox beside him.
Deny Aaron didn't like the process of waiting. Usually, when he had to wait, he would close his eyes and use that time to think. But with Airi Sakura constantly talking to him, he couldn't even think properly.
What's worse is that he couldn't scold her, because it seemed that the more he scolded her, the more energetic she became.
"Deny Aaron-kun, I always feel like people are looking at me. Do I really not look like a Chinese person at all?"
"Who's looking at you?"
"I don't know, I just have this feeling that people are occasionally watching me..."
Deny Aaron looked around, and aside from a few young men and women who did occasionally glance at her, there wasn't anyone maliciously staring at her.
Airi Sakura's attire was normal as well. Japanese girls love wearing short skirts, and she was wearing a plaid skirt with a light beige knitted sweater, paired with knee-high socks. Her legs were slim and straight, attracting attention.
"Maybe it's because you're dressed a bit differently."
"Is it really that different?"
Airi Sakura was curious and looked at the other girls around them. Indeed, she was the only one with such a style.
Coincidentally, a girl in a school uniform (JK) walked in from the door. She was also wearing knee-high socks and a skirt.
Airi Sakura seemed to understand what made her attire distinctive.
The JK girl was also here to open a bank account and ended up sitting next to Airi Sakura after getting her queue number.
Many guys may not know this, but sometimes girls are more inclined to appreciate other beautiful girls. The JK girl cast a glance at Airi Sakura and was immediately captivated by her beauty, whether it was her outfit or makeup. The Japanese style was so evident, and she must be a die-hard fan of Japanese fashion!
"Miss, you're really pretty." The JK girl regarded Airi Sakura as her own kind and smiled, praising her.
"Uh, are you talking to me...?" Airi Sakura hadn't even realized it.
"Yes. Your boyfriend is handsome too." The JK girl gave a thumbs-up discreetly.
"Oh, thank you!" Airi Sakura still hadn't reacted. The girl in the school uniform seemed a bit older than her, and yet she called her "miss", making her wonder if she looked so old...
But she was also curious. The girl must have finished high school already, but she was still wearing a school uniform. It felt a bit strange.
Of course, polite Sakura wouldn't say it out loud.
"Miss, your dress and socks are so stylish! Where did you buy them? Can you introduce them to me?" This is the purpose of a JK girl's approach.
"Oh... these? I got them in Yokohama, at the Mitsui department store."
The way Airi Sakura spoke sounded very natural, without any hint of showing off. The JK girl finally noticed that her accent seemed a bit strange, different from the people around here.
"Where are you from, miss?"
"Me? Yokohama..."
This is not just a Japanese girl, this is a genuine Japanese girl.
At this moment, the number was called at the counter, and it was Airi Sakura's turn to do business.
Airi Sakura didn't even realize that her number was called until Deny Aaron, who was quietly next to her, spoke up, "It's your turn, why aren't you going?"
"Oh, sorry, I'll go now..." Airi Sakura said to the JK girl and hurriedly went to the counter with her bag, ID, and number slip.
After Airi Sakura left, the space between Deny Aaron and the JK girl was vacant.
Seeing how stern Deny Aaron was, yet still able to be with such a beautiful Japanese girlfriend, the JK girl was curious. She leaned in slightly, wanting to talk to him.
But Deny Aaron didn't even bother to acknowledge her and closed his eyes, lost in thought.
The JK girl felt disappointed and let out a humph. Just because he looks good doesn't mean he's all that. I wish you break up as soon as you turn the corner!
Airi Sakura's Chinese proficiency was quite good, and the staff were patient, explaining everything she didn't understand clearly. That's the advantage of being pretty and having a sweet voice.
After getting her own bank card, Airi Sakura felt relieved. Now she didn't have to carry a lot of cash with her, she noticed that Deny Aaron only brought keys and a phone when he went out.
She was still a little surprised. Before coming to China, she had heard that mobile payment in Huaxia was very advanced and popular. You only needed to bring your phone when you go out.
In Japan, she mostly relied on cash or credit cards for payment.
Airi Sakura took out two stacks of hundred-yuan bills from her bag and said, "Hello! Please help me deposit them into my card, thank you!"
When she finished everything and put the card back in her bag, Deny Aaron had somehow come up behind her.
"Is it done?"
"Yeah, all done!"
"Then let's go."
After leaving the bank, Deny Aaron led Sakura to turn right and went to a nearby mobile service center to get a SIM card.
"...You mean, if I recharge 2,000 yuan, I can get this phone for free?"
Inside the service center, the salesperson was enthusiastically introducing the package to Airi Sakura.
"Yes, not only do we give you this phone, but we also give you a 50GB monthly data plan for two years, calls for only 1.5 cents per minute, and..."
Airi Sakura was very tempted after listening. She quickly pulled Deny Aaron's sleeve and asked, "Wow, they give so many things! Should I get this package?"
Deny Aaron thought to himself, what's the big deal? There are even gifts for recharging phone credits for girlfriends.
"You already have a phone, why do you need another one?"
"But it's free, and this phone is in Japanese. I want to switch it to Chinese..."
Following her principle of frugality, since it's free, why not take it? Besides, phone credits will eventually need to be recharged. She didn't know why she sought Deny Aaron's opinion, it just happened subconsciously. Despite Deny Aaron being stern, he was the most trusted person here.
"Give me your phone."
"Here."
Airi Sakura obediently handed over her phone.
It was an iPhone X, which she had been using for over a year. Although the iPhone 12 was already out, she had taken good care of it, and it still ran smoothly without any lag. She just used it to play some small games or chat.
"Many of the phones they give as gifts come with binding contracts, and the phone credits are not all given at once. Plus, there are a lot of annoying pre-installed apps that you can't delete."
Deny Aaron tinkered with Sakura's phone and returned it to her. Sakura was surprised and exclaimed, "Wow! It's changed to Chinese! How did you do that?"
"Isn't it in the settings?"
"I didn't know... I've never looked at the settings before..."
Deny Aaron felt like peeling open her skull... forget it, she doesn't even have a brain.
He took Airi Sakura to the counter and chose another package.
"Recharge 500 yuan and get a teddy bear for free."
When they came out, Airi Sakura hugged the coffee-colored teddy bear with great satisfaction.
"As expected, they give so many things!"
