Chapter 25 A Discussion of Thinness

In the past, Mu Xiu didn't like shopping in the supermarket very much, and he still doesn't like it very much now.

Although the first impression the nearby supermarket gave him was that it was very clean and tidy, and it was quiet, not only did it have no noisy voices, it seemed that there were no bears, which surprised him somewhat.

Strollers and baskets are neatly placed at the entrance of the supermarket, as well as strollers with baby chairs, which should be for the convenience of mothers with babies.However, neither Mu Xiu nor Gui Daiju showed signs of dizziness, so they just took a basket and walked to the supermarket.

"Speaking of which, what are you following here for?"

The pink-haired girl seemed somewhat unnatural at the moment. She paid attention to the customers around her, and found that there were no strange eyes cast on her, and felt relieved a lot.But even so, she still subconsciously put a body distance away from Mu Xiu, and complained.

But what she said was not unreasonable, because Mu Xiu didn't seem to come here for shopping at all, but simply followed her.This can't help but make Gui Daiju feel a little flustered subconsciously——

That's right, if she was still interested in teasing before, she is really a little flustered now... The other party is really interested in me, right?Isn't this kind of approach obvious?But how should I reject him?
If the boy knew that Gui Daiju not only misunderstood what he meant, but also that his first reaction was to struggle with how to reject him, instead of struggling with whether to accept something, he would definitely be hit hard...

What a joke!It's not going to be good or bad at all.

He is a staunch black boss and direct control aside, and what fool in this world can take it for granted that after just knowing a girl for a few days, the other party must have the possibility of accepting him?I'm afraid it's not shameless, arrogant to the point of narcissism...

So Mu Xiu didn't care much about Gui Daiju's wild thoughts, of course, he didn't explain it either.

"Oh, just to help you, you're welcome." He replied casually.

Is it to help me?However, Gui Daiju didn't appreciate it very much. She raised her eyebrows, looked at the basket in her hand, and looked at Mu Xiu who was empty-handed.Although nothing was said, the meaning was self-evident.

"Cough, okay, let me carry it for you."

"Hmph, no need... Hey, wait a minute, hey! You..."

Mu Xiu didn't care, but directly snatched the basket from the girl's hand. Gui Daiju looked at him angrily for a while, and finally turned around and continued walking forward with a grunt.But this wasn't a real contradiction in the first place, so she soon calmed down and didn't pay much attention to it, but started to search for her goal.

The girl seems to be no stranger to things like shopping in the supermarket, rather she is very skilled.

The only thing she worries about seems to be the worldwide problem of "what to eat today".

There is no smell in the fresh food area. The fish is placed neatly in the freezer. Not far away, the freshly baked tempura wafts through bursts of attractive aroma. Osmanthus daisy seems to be in high spirits, while constantly choosing what she needs. The ingredients were compared and screened, and he kept explaining to Mu Xiu who seemed to be completely confused about the whole story.

She is a smart girl, so she naturally knows the difference in eating habits between the two countries, and it is normal for the other party not to know certain things.

Mu Xiu responded a few times from time to time, without showing any impatience, and even occasionally asked a few questions to initiate a conversation, so Gui Daisy didn't feel that there was any problem, but the more he talked, the happier he became.Fortunately, it was still morning, and no one came to the supermarket earlier than them, but those few people looked at the pair of high school students with weird faces.

But obviously, neither of them noticed such a problem.

Mu Xiu didn't stay idle either, but brought a dozen mineral water, because although he didn't care about the impact of the hot and cold drinks on his body, he was not used to drinking tap water directly.Although you can often see advertisements from the Bureau of Waterworks that the tap water in District [-] has undergone strict quality control and its standard is much higher than that of mineral water, but that psychological discomfort cannot be easily eliminated.

Gui Daiju is not surprised by this. She said that although the tap water in District [-] is completely drinkable, in fact, very few people in District [-] drink tap water directly, and less than [-]% of them would do so.People in other countries may have a biased impression just because they are not familiar with it. Most people will choose to install a water purifier, buy mineral water, or boil the tap water again.

but……

Seeing that Mu Xiu naturally picked up another dozen mineral water, plus the things she bought one after another before, the weight of the basket was already a little delicate.But he still didn't seem to feel it at all, holding the basket with one hand and pushing it away slightly, it seemed that he didn't intend to let the basket carry his body and affect his actions.

Ordinary people may not know what this means, but Gui Daiju knows that this is very laborious, so she can't help but take another look at Mu Xiu.

This means that his own strength is great, and his endurance is also very good.

However, no matter how you look at it, such a body can't be called strong at all on the surface, and it's even more appropriate to say that it's slender.It's like squatting at home in front of the computer all day long, so that the body is aging prematurely, but the unscientific thing is that the physical strength of this house bug is a bit too shocking...

"The fruits and vegetables here are actually priced individually?!"

After wandering around in the supermarket with great difficulty, the girl finally planned to go back, and Mu Xiu dutifully followed her with a basket, like a housekeeper.However, Mu Xiu's attention subtly went astray again. He looked at a row of counters next to him, and saw that many vegetables and fruits were washed clean and packed in transparent bags.

He subconsciously glanced at the price, and then twitched the corner of his mouth.

Gui Daiju gave him a strange look, and then replied as a matter of course: "Yes, what can we do if we don't sell them individually? Don't you sell them by the catty?"

Mu Xiu also nodded as a matter of course: "Yes!"

"..."

"..."

At this moment, both of them deeply understood what is called cultural difference.

……

……

After going to the counter, Gui Daiju said she had to pay the bill by herself, but Mu Xiu didn't argue with her on this matter, but just gave her a deep look with weird eyes, and then stood there calmly with arms folded. beside.

For a while, the girl couldn't understand what he was here for, but at least she could be sure that the other party didn't really seem to be interested in her. This made her subconsciously relieved, but she couldn't help it. Feeling a little annoyed.

When the account was settled and payment was required, Gui Daiju was stunned.

It may be because she changed her previous afternoon exercise to a morning jog, and it was the first day of the holiday. She didn't take everything into consideration, or it should be said that she didn't take her own habits into account—she didn't bring a wallet When I came out, I didn't have my credit card with me.The only thing they have is a few banknotes with relatively small denominations. If it is to buy some snacks, drinks, or take public transportation, there is no problem, but now it is impossible to pay for such a shopping.

She was so careless that she completely ignored it, and she didn't even notice it when she bought drinks from the vending machine in the park just now.It was so natural, as if she hadn't thought about buying ingredients at all at the time, and the two things were not considered together, which led to such an obvious problem being ignored by her...

Wait, so the guy behind me already knew about it? !
The lady at the cashier looked at the girl standing there blankly, and found that the other party hadn't moved for a long time. She thought that her voice was too low and the girl in front of her didn't hear her, so she coughed lightly twice, and repeated her words clearly. Go over that total price.

The froze Osmanthus daisy trembled slightly.

Mu Xiu, who was on the side, finally couldn't stand it any longer, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "Let me do it!"

After paying the money, Gui Daiju lowered her head without saying a word, picked up a full shopping bag, and then ran out of the supermarket without looking back.

"Welcome again—" The cashier lady looked at the girl's pink back in a strange way. Although she couldn't figure out what happened, she still greeted her politely. However, the girl seemed to walk faster.

Mu Xiu laughed, picked up another shopping bag, and quickly followed.

When I was in the old school building before, I dragged the girl in front of me and ran all the way, and today the retribution finally came back.Mu Xiu followed Gui Daiju and walked quickly along the way. The girl in front of her lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't slow down until she returned to the Sangjia Dog Park.

"Student Mu Xiu, you...have known about it a long time ago, right?"

Gui Daiju didn't look back, she just lowered her shoulders as if she was very disappointed, but if you looked at it from the front, you would find that her expression was hidden in the shadows, so you couldn't see clearly at all.Moreover, her shoulders were trembling slightly. Generally speaking, in such a situation, if she is not extremely happy, then she is extremely angry, because it is the physical manifestation caused by excessive emotional fluctuations that cannot be suppressed...

And although Mu Xiu didn't know about such things, and couldn't see the girl's expression from the front, he was not a fool either.

After all, no matter from the change of address or the expression of the girl's other slender hand clenched into a fist, he knew what state the other party was in now.So first of all, he put on a defensive posture, and then he said in a seemingly natural tone:
"Oh, didn't I say it before, your clothes fit well... Isn't this just a reminder to you?"

"What kind of reminder is this?" The girl's tone not only showed a hint of disbelief, but also trembled slightly, just like her body.

"It's like this, because it fits too well, so I didn't see a little extra line on you, which means you didn't bring your wallet and mobile phone at all, plus you just took out banknotes at the drink machine Instead of taking it out of your wallet, so I am even more sure that you only have a small amount of change on you. As for the credit card or something, it’s like I didn’t feel the electric waves emitted by your mobile phone, and it’s also not magnetic. The magnetic force released by the bar..."

"What a marvelous reasoning."

Gui Daiju turned around slowly, her brows were twitching, and her eyes were shining with a dangerous light, "But why didn't you remind me directly in person."

"Because... this seems to be very interesting!" The boy showed a serious expression and said very honestly.

There was a "snap", which was the sound of a heavy shopping bag falling to the ground.

"Student Mu Xiu! I think you should learn what slenderness is!!"

"Hey, slender? How do you learn this... Wait! This is obviously a joint skill! Let it go——!"

Facts have proved that human beings are creatures that will not learn from lessons, and have been repeating similar tragedies.

……

……

"Huh...huh..."

Isayama Koizumi was holding on to the wall of the building at the corner of the street, breathing heavily.She is still wearing the black sailor skirt school uniform, but she still holds the long cloth package in her hand, and she seems to have just gone through a rapid sprint, as if rushing all the way at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint look.

"So, finally, you're not late, right? Great, Kagura hasn't come yet..."

She looked around and found that there were few pedestrians nearby, and the most important thing was that there was no one.Because Kagura was never late, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then she had time to stop and rest.And I took out my mobile phone from my skirt pocket to take a look, and found that my sprint was indeed very effective, at least theoretically, I would be late for an appointment, but now I arrived ten minutes early, close to 10 minutes time.

However, the girl didn't regret it at all, on the contrary she felt that she had done really well.
