Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
"It would be great if it could be done once a month. I thought the dust would be thick enough to grow flowers when we get back. When our two families bought the house, we both thought about having a bigger one so that we could live more comfortably, and we never considered how hard it would be to clean up." Shen Yanming smiled and pulled Bi Qiaoan into the house.
"There were many people at home at that time, and no one thought... Oh, you're so stupid of me, why did I bring up all this!" Bi Qiaoan looked at the furnishings around him. This was the furnishings he had cleaned up at the end of February in his previous life. It's been a lifetime since then.
"Well, Brother Yanming, I'll change your sheets and quilt covers first, you can rest for a while." After saying that, Bi Qiaoan walked towards Shen Yanming's bedroom.
"Qiao An, I'm hungry." Shen Yanming stopped Qiao An and said.
"Then let's go out to eat. There's nothing at home."
"I haven't eaten at home for many years." Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Then I'll go buy some groceries. You can rest at home for a while." Bi Qiaoan smiled. It was no big deal.
"I'll go with you." Shen Yanming simply cleaned up the stains on his chest and cuffs with a wet towel and followed Bi Qiaoan out. Bi Qiaoan walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
"Aren't you going to the garage?" Shen Yanming frowned and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"It only takes 20 minutes to walk to the vegetable market. There's no need to drive." Bi Qiaoan explained with a smile, thinking that Brother Yanming had probably never been there. After all, in her heart, Brother Yanming was a banished immortal among humans, untouched by worldly affairs.
"Have you been there before?" Shen Yanming asked casually.
"Yeah, I used to go there often. The food there is cheaper." Bi Qiaoan was stunned for a moment after he said that. This "before" was in his previous life. He used to go there often after the end of the world. But for this life, Bi Qiaoan should not go to that kind of place.
He looked up at Shen Yanming and found that he looked normal, so he relaxed.
The moment Bi Qiaoan mentioned the vegetable market, an incredible idea popped up in Shen Yanming's mind. He observed Bi Qiaoan calmly, and the moment Bi Qiaoan relaxed, he understood.
A touch of heartache surged in his heart, and Shen Yanming pressed "-1", "Let's go to Times Square today. I just returned to China and have a lot of things to buy."
"Okay!" Bi Qiaoan nodded with a smile.
Shen Yanming drove his Audi, which had not been used for several years, and took Bi Qiaoan to Times Square. This car was also taken care of by Bi Qiaoan, and there was not much dust after being parked in the parking space for several years.
Half an hour later, Shen Yanming parked his car in the parking lot and took the elevator directly into the supermarket. They each pushed a shopping cart and started shopping crazily.
A bag of rice, a bag of noodles, a barrel of oil, five pounds of millet, two pounds of mung beans, two pounds of soybeans, two pounds of peanuts, a bottle of vinegar, a bottle of soy sauce, two packets of salt, five pounds of potatoes, one portion each of lettuce, chrysanthemum, and Chinese cabbage, one pound of mushrooms, one pound each of dried black fungus and dried white fungus, two pounds of pork belly, one tenderloin, a bag of frozen chicken legs, two pounds of live shrimps, a bag of taro powder, a bag of laundry detergent, a bottle of dishwashing liquid, a pack of dishcloths, a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of shower gel, a tube of toothpaste...
With these things, two shopping carts were filled. Shen Yanming asked Bi Qiaoan to wait for him there and asked the staff to help deliver them to the parking lot and fill the trunk.
Afterwards, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan to buy some snacks, including chocolate, fruit candies, potato chips, shrimp crackers, coffee, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, apples, pineapples, etc., filling up a car. They also went to the cake shop to order a 6-inch fruit cake, a durian pizza, and a box of egg tarts.
After paying the bill, Bi Qiaoan held three packaging boxes from the cake shop, and Shen Yanming carried two full shopping bags. After arriving at the parking lot, they stuffed the things into the back seat of the car.
"Brother Yanming, it's time to go home this time." Bi Qiaoan picked up his cell phone and saw that it was already seven fifty.
"Are you hungry?" Shen Yanming realized that it was already so late.
Bi Qiaoan shook his head and said, "I ate a lot of snacks in the dormitory this afternoon, so I'm not hungry now."
"Then will you accompany me to buy some clothes?" Bi Qiaoan didn't think much about it, nodded, and followed Shen Yanming upstairs.
"Uh...Oh my God...Please send some lightning to strike me to death!" Bi Qiaoan stood at the door of a store, unable to stretch his feet.
Shen Yanming noticed that the girl behind him was not keeping up, so he turned around, took the girl's hand and walked towards the store.
"Aren't men usually embarrassed to come in? Why are you so shy as a girl?" Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan's red face and thought she was so cute.
"Then how dare you come in!" Bi Qiaoan felt hot all over and was extremely embarrassed.
"Ah, I'm embarrassed too, but since no one helps me buy it, I have to do it myself. I'm risking my reputation." As soon as Shen Yanming finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan heard low, kind laughter all around.
Now Bi Qiaoan wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Xiao An'an, remember, buy me underwear of this size in the future." Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan's lowered head, lifted Bi Qiaoan's little face with his right hand, and shook the box in his left hand in front of Bi Qiaoan's eyes.
Bi Qiaoan glared at Shen Yanming hatefully, and twisted Shen Yanming's waist fiercely with his left hand.
This time, the laughter got louder and there were ambiguous looks all around.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke, don't be angry." Shen Yanming held the little hand on his waist, smiled and said to the waiter next to him: "Excuse me, please help us get the right size for this set of pajamas."
Bi Qiaoan took a look and asked Shen Yanming, “It’s not appropriate, right?”
"Beauty, don't you like this panda set? We also have rabbit, dinosaur, and giraffe styles. If you don't like animals, do you like this heart-shaped set?" The waiter said as he took out an unopened set of pajamas from the cabinet.
"This set of heart-shaped pajamas, do you have our sizes?" After comparison, Shen Yanming still preferred this set of gray heart-shaped pajamas.
"Yes, I'll help you find it." The waiter smiled and hurriedly started looking for it.
"No, no, brother, these are couple pajamas." Bi Qiaoan said, pulling Shen Yanming's sleeve.
The waiter hurried to see Shen Yanming's expression, and Shen Yanming nodded and asked the waiter to continue.
When Bi Qiaoan saw this, she said quickly, "Sister, you misunderstood. I am his sister."
"Well, sister, brother and sister can wear it too, it's a family set!" The waiter took out two sets, unpacked them and let the customer check if there were any defects.
When Bi Qiaoan heard the tone, he wilted. It was obvious that he didn't believe it.
Shen Yanming found it a little funny, and when he asked the waiter to pack up and pay the bill, he also said, "My fiancée, my childhood sweetheart, has called me brother since they were young."
The waiter smiled and said that he knew. They often saw young couples coming in to buy underwear, and they could see the deep affection in the boy's eyes.
Bi Qiaoan picked up the shopping bag and went out first, "Do you want to buy anything else?"
"Well, I want to go to the third floor..." Before Shen Yanming finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan pulled Shen Yanming and walked into the men's clothing store next door. He reached out and picked up a dark blue long windbreaker with a hoodie that he liked, and pushed Shen Yanming into the fitting room.
"What's wrong?"
