The returning national male god

Chapter 158 Sir, Good Night

When she called him, her eyes lit up, because she finally found the correct answer, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. The neon lights on the side of the road were reflected in her eyes, as if there were twinkling stars.

Xie Qichen was originally dissatisfied with her opportunistic answer, but at this moment his heart suddenly softened, thinking of another meaning of this title, he did not raise any objections.

"Yeah." He responded, and walked in front first.

Only then did Jun Jiu breathe a sigh of relief, thinking about the feeling of being with a king like a tiger in ancient times, she finally realized a thing or two.

The store that He Ting brought them here is one of the largest stores in the imperial capital. From food to department stores, from electronics to books, everything is available. Even if you don’t buy anything, you have to walk from the entrance to the exit. 5 minutes.

It was exactly eight o'clock in the evening when the two entered the mall, and the more people walked in, the more people there were. Jun Jiu saw more and more eyes gathered on them, and then remembered that he went out in a hurry and forgot to wear a mask.

At first, she didn't care about it, thinking it would be fine once in a while, after all, the only TV series she's filming now is "Ancient", and she hasn't even shown her face, and she hasn't had much fame. After a long time, there shouldn't be any problems.

Who knew that she hadn't walked a few steps before she heard a few girls whispering next to her.

"Is this person the same Jun Jiu who is arguing fiercely on the Internet now?"

"It seems that... the real person is actually much better looking than the photo, I dare not admit it! Those who are so loud are going to be slapped in the face!"

"Who is that man next to him? God, he looks so handsome! I really want to go over and ask him for his mobile phone number!"

"..."

Jun Jiu didn't listen to anything before, until she heard the girl ask for her cell phone number, she immediately straightened up, secretly glanced at Xie Qichen's face, and saw that the other party frowned slightly.

Mr. Xie, who is well-known in the business world, has probably never been talked about behind his back like this, right?And the cause of all this is because of myself, and I don't know if the other party will have some negative emotions towards me because of this incident...

Thinking of this, Jun Jiu's heart trembled, and he immediately thought of the fate of the person at the dinner table before. Although he helped him at the time, but with his unfathomable temperament, he might be the next one.

"That...sir." Jun Jiu hesitated for a moment, decided to choose the lesser of the two powers, and turned to look at him, "Wait here for me, I'll get something, and I'll be right back."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, and walked away quickly with his head down, and quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving only Xie Qichen alone, standing next to the shopping cart to accept the baptism of everyone's eyes.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly a hand stretched out beside him and pulled him over. Xie Qichen reflexively wanted to brush that hand away, but he hesitated for a moment when he felt the warm and delicate touch of that hand. Let the other party hastily pull him to a corner.

Before he had time to say anything, a mask was put on his face, and only then did he have a chance to see the other party clearly.

The face that was already the size of a palm was now covered by a mask, leaving only a pair of smart eyes exposed, and a peaked cap was also worn on her head, covering her hair and forehead.

"Sir, I'm offended, there's nothing I can do about it." Jun Jiu's eyes were full of apology, and he boldly put on the mask for him, and handed him the hat, "Just cooperate."

Xie Qichen looked at Jun Jiu's cautious appearance, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. When Jun Jiu became more and more nervous, he took it and put it on his head.

Jun Jiu raised her head to look at him and was taken aback again, because although Xie Qichen covered his appearance after the cover-up, it was easier for people to notice his temperament, which seemed to be more conspicuous.

Because the face was completely blocked, Jun Jiu's attention was immediately attracted by his eyes, which were as deep as ink, and seemed to carry the thickness of history, so that people could be brought into his world by him at a glance. Eternally melodious.

Jun Jiu was already 1.7 meters 1.8 tall, and she still looked thin in front of him. She took a look at the gap between the two, thinking that the other party must be more than [-] meters [-], right?
It's just that she took another look at his face, feeling a little weird in her heart, because the moment Xie Qichen put on the mask, she always felt a little inexplicably familiar.

"Let's go." Before she could think about it, there was a urging voice beside her. Jun Jiu immediately regained her senses, and walked to the shopping cart with Xie Qichen again, pushing the cart to the food area.

Jun Jiu went straight to the fast food area, first took a few bags of instant noodles, and then took a few bags of quick-frozen dumplings. During this time, Xie Qichen stayed by her side silently and did not speak, but when her hand touched the package again When eating the vegetarian platter, he finally couldn't help but make a noise.

"Do you usually eat these?"

Jun Jiu didn't expect him to express his opinion. Looking at the things he was holding, it seemed that they were really shabby.

"These are more convenient to eat." This was Jun Jiu's first thought, and she was used to living like this, so she didn't think there was any problem.

"Haven't you ever thought about cooking by yourself at home?" I don't know if it was Jun Jiu's illusion, but Xie Qichen's voice sounded a bit forbearing.

But Jun Jiu didn't have time to think about it, because she was already attracted by the word "cooking".

Thinking of the dislike she received from Jiang Jinnan and her parents for not being able to cook in those years, the competitive spirit in her heart was suddenly ignited.

"Sir, what you said is that maybe I can try it."

As Jun Jiu said, she pushed the cart to the fresh food area, but fortunately she was still a little self-aware, her eyes only stayed on the difficult creatures like fish and shrimp for a while and then moved away, and finally she only bought some packaged meat, Moved to the vegetable area.

Seeing this, Xie Qichen's complexion finally improved a bit, and even after Jun Jiu finished picking the vegetables, he offered to help take the vegetables to the weighing area to line up for weighing.

As soon as Jun Jiu turned his head, he saw his tall figure standing out among the group of people queuing up, and he always felt a sense of joy as if a noble prince had been downcast to a grassroots person.

The only trace of fear in Xie Qichen's heart disappeared at this moment, and she quickly took some fruits from the adjacent fruit area, and pushed the cart to his side, just at this time it was his turn He, Jun Jiu immediately took out other fruits and vegetables that hadn't been weighed from the cart.

"Hey, boy, you can't jump in line!"

A middle-aged woman behind her stopped her dissatisfiedly. Jun Jiu looked at herself and then at Xie Qichen. They were both wearing hats and masks. Is it hard to tell that they are together?
But Jun Jiu patiently explained to the woman, "We are together."

Seeing that the other party still had an expression of disbelief after speaking, Jun Jiu had no choice but to gently pull Xie Qichen's arm who was concentrating on weighing, and repeated again: "He is my brother."

Xie Qichen finally had a reaction, turned his head to look at Jun Jiu, Jun Jiu was a little guilty by his look, and turned his eyes to look elsewhere.

He turned to look at the woman behind him, and said in a gentle tone as always: "Is there something wrong?"

"No...it's fine."

Jun Jiu stuttered a little when she heard the other party's answer, and never said anything difficult again. At the same time, she quietly withdrew her hand from his arm.

"Is there anything else to buy?"

After finally weighing everything, Xie Qichen took the shopping cart from Jun Jiu's hand, and while walking slowly in the mall, he turned his head and asked Jun Jiu.

Jun Jiu was still immersed in the courage he had just had to recognize him as "brother". He was relieved by his question and pointed to the area of ​​kitchen supplies, "Since you are going to cook, pots, pans, etc. You have to buy them all."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Qichen pushed the car and turned around.

Jun Jiu was taken aback for another moment, and then followed after a pause. The two of them finally stopped in front of a whole shelf of bowls. There were so many kinds of bowls and utensils that she was dazzled before she could pick one.

She skimmed over the colorful areas first, and walked to the plain-colored dish area. Only then did she feel that the pressure on her eyes was relieved, but she fell into a new round of entanglement.

The patterns on the dishes include landscapes, brush and ink, birds and animals, and simple retro patterns, all of which she can accept, but there is nothing she particularly likes.

She looked over one by one, and finally her sight stopped in one place.

A hand landed on the bowl set before her, and picked up the matching cup, twisting the blue and white porcelain cup with her slender fingers and turning it in her hand, not knowing which would make it more beautiful.

"Just choose this set." A mellow and magnetic voice sounded behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw Xie Qichen looking at her calmly.

"it is good."

Jun Jiu responded quickly, with a calm expression on his face, but what he thought in his heart was that Mr. Xie's vision was surprisingly consistent with hers.

Afterwards, the two bought other kitchen utensils together, even Jun Jiu bought many seasonings that are not commonly used at one time. What she thought was that since she decided to start learning to cook, she must study hard. , Do your best, and then you can win in front of your family.

When all the purchases were finished, it was already past nine o'clock, and the line at the cashier was still very long. Fortunately, both of them were very stable, and no one showed any signs of anxiety. Soon, it was two people's turn.

Jun Jiu bought a lot of things, so it took a lot of time just to scan the items. By the time the cashier settled the payment, the amount had already reached five figures.

It's nothing, Jun Jiu naturally wanted to swipe the card, but Xie Qichen stopped him first.

"Mr. Xie?"

Jun Jiu looked at him very puzzled, and then saw him suddenly take out a wallet from his pocket, and when he opened it, there was a thick stack of banknotes inside.

He didn't even look at it, and directly took out the stack of banknotes inside and handed it to the cashier, uttering two words, "Cash payment."

Looking from Jun Jiu's point of view, it was obvious that the corners of the cashier's mouth were twitching.

Not to mention her, even Jun Jiu was shocked when he saw Xie Qichen take out so much cash. After all, in this era, besides those local tyrants who like to show off, who else carries so much cash with them when they go out?

"Sir, don't bother, these are the things I want to buy, just swipe the card." Jun Jiu immediately handed out his card, and the cashier was willing to take it, but was ruthlessly intercepted halfway up.

"I'm the one who brought you here." Xie Qichen looked at Jun Jiu and explained, then turned to the cashier and said, "I'm sorry."

While they were talking, there was a series of long queues behind them, and some people looked at them impatiently.

"Sir, there's really no need. It's easier to swipe the card. There are still so many people waiting behind. Don't make others wait too long." Jun Jiu can give up other things, but she has her own bottom line for these things.

Xie Qichen didn't speak, but his actions proved his thoughts. He was still standing in front of Jun Jiu, and his gaze was always on the cashier.

When Jun Jiu finally managed to pass the card to the cashier, the cashier turned cold and took the thick wad of cash directly and counted it.

"I'm sorry, there are still many customers behind, I hope you can discuss who will pay the bill in advance next time, so as not to waste the time of other customers."

It was the first time for Jun Jiu to be said so by others, and she felt a little embarrassing in her heart. Fortunately, wearing a mask can block other people's prying eyes, otherwise she was not sure if she could remain indifferent.

Because there is no banknote counter, the cashier can only manually count the banknotes one by one. By the way, they have to distinguish the authenticity, which makes the already long queue even tighter. Jun Jiu feels that it is the first time he is acting. I've never been so nervous.

"Mr. Xie, where are you going now?"

When Jun Jiu and Xie Qichen came out with big bags and small bags, He Ting had appeared at the entrance of the mall in time, and took the initiative to take things from the two of them and put them in the trunk, which surprised Jun Jiu.

She didn't see Xie Qichen calling him on the way back, how could he be waiting here so punctually?Telepathy?

"Go home." Xie Qichen took the initiative to help Jun Jiu open the car door again, and Jun Jiu sat in this time naturally, taking it as the other party's gentlemanly demeanor.

When they got to the parking lot, before Jun Jiu got out of the car, He Ting had taken the initiative to lift the contents of the trunk in his hand and walked in front. There were several big bags full of things, but he didn't lift them up in his hand. The effort was in stark contrast to his gentle appearance.

When he got to the floor, Jun Jiu opened the door of his room first, so that He Ting could put his things in first. After everything was put in place, He Ting left without saying anything, even without drinking a sip of water. It's as if he really just came up to help with something.

"It's getting late, you should eat something today and rest early, and cook later." After He Ting left, Xie Qichen didn't intend to stay any longer, and before leaving, he specially told Jun Jiu a few words.

"Okay." Jun Jiu stood at the door obediently, and waved at him at the same time, "Sir, good night."

Hearing her words, Xie Qichen's face, which had no cover anymore, melted like ice and snow, slowly evoked a smile, and responded softly: "Good night."

　I don't know if the male protagonist's handing out cash will ruin his favor, but Bandai can only say that everything has a reason.
