The next day, the food at home was almost gone. In the morning, Jiang Ju finished the last egg in the fridge. By noon, there was really nothing else, so Jiang Ju prepared to go out to buy groceries. As soon as she pushed open the door, she bumped into Du Xi, who had returned. She glanced at him and left quickly with her head lowered.

Du Xi raised his eyebrows slightly. He treated this young lady quite well, right? He had never lost his temper with her. Why did she look terrified every time she saw him? From the window in the corridor, he saw her take out a hat and mask from her bag after she left and cover herself up tightly. He looked up at the fiery red sun hanging above his head as he muttered, “How finicky.”

He threw the packed lunch into the fridge and hurriedly chased after her. Before Jiang Ju could walk far, the roar of a motorcycle came from behind, startling her. She was about to frown when the instigator stopped the motorcycle steadily in front of her. Looking at the man sitting on the motorcycle with a domineering expression, she cursed silently: “God, can you send a kind person to beat up this arrogant man?”

He was already in his thirties, but he was still riding a modified motorcycle on the streets. How childish and annoying. If he rode such a motorcycle every day, he would be arrested by the traffic police one day. Then, who would pay his rent?

Du Xi lost his temper and called out to her, “Where are you going? I’ll bring you there.” He patted the back seat and gestured for Jiang Ju to sit. This motorcycle was very high and reached Jiang Ju’s waist. It was even shining under the sunlight. Thinking of the loud sound of it driving on the road, Jiang Ju subconsciously took two steps back with an unwilling look on her face.

“No need… I’ll be there in a few steps.” Du Xi said, “Cut the crap. Where are you going?” Jiang Ju said, “The supermarket in front.” Du Xi looked over. Under the scorching sun, there was a huge billboard less than 200 meters in front: Xinhua Supermarket. Du Xi gritted his teeth and parked the car at the side. “Then let’s go together. I’ll help you carry your things.”

Jiang Ju, who only left with a hundred yuan, said, “…No need…” She just had a hundred yuan. She wouldn’t be able to buy much even if she spent it all, so she could carry them all herself.

Du Xi didn’t mind her rejection at all. After parking the car by the roadside, he took the lead and walked in front. It seemed that he insisted on going with her, so Jiang Ju didn’t say anything else. She pursed her lips and followed behind him.

When they arrived at the supermarket, Du Xi pulled the largest shopping cart and pushed it forward. Behind him was Jiang Ju, who looked very dejected.

Seeing him stride to the fresh meat section and throw two large boxes of freshly cut beef into the shopping cart without looking at the price, Jiang Ju silently clenched the corner of her shirt. If she had known that he bought things so lavishly, she wouldn’t have let him follow her no matter what. The hundred yuan in her pocket wasn’t even enough to pay for these two boxes of beef.

To avoid embarrassment when paying the bill, Jiang Ju decided to tell the truth. Du Xi walked to the pork stall again and was about to reach out to take a box of pork belly when someone grabbed the corner of his shirt from behind. He turned around and looked at Jiang Ju in confusion. Jiang Ju was standing behind him with a pitiful look as she held a bill in her hand and said meekly, “Don’t take too much. I only brought a hundred yuan.”

When Du Xi saw her timid look, he poked her nose gently. “Don’t be nervous. I have money. I’ll buy it for you.” He was a man. Would he need a young lady to spend money when bringing her out to the supermarket?

Although his tone wasn’t too pleasant, his actions were doting. Jiang Ju froze for a moment before silently retracting her hand. Forget it, she would go to the market again next time.

When Du Xi bought things, he didn’t look at the price. As long as it was something he liked, he would throw double portions into the shopping cart. After the two of them shopped in the supermarket for half an hour, the shopping cart was filled to the brim. When Du Xi paid, he even suggested to the staff that they change to a larger batch of shopping carts.

Looking at the things that filled up four big shopping bags, Jiang Ju complained inwardly, “This shopping cart is already big enough. He’s the one who bought too many things. When Du Xi was paying the bill just now, she watched from the side. These things cost more than a thousand yuan, which was almost equivalent to her monthly food bill.

Seeing how effortlessly he carried two shopping bags in each hand, Jiang Ju silently looked down at her hands and wondered if she had been eating too little. If she had eaten more, she might not have been underweight for years.
