Chapter 182: People Everywhere

Yang Xue looked at her from the side and said, "Go up and check on him. Is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Yuan took out his cell phone, glanced at it, and sighed: "He wants to take a shower."

In the dialog box, an avatar with a pure black sky background sent several messages in succession:

"Come up"

"Where do I shower?"

"I can't sleep without a shower."

"Shall I go down and catch you?"

Who says he is a good drinker?

Who says they don’t care about details and can just sleep on a bed?

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, put on a stern face, and put the phone back into his pocket.

Jiang Yuan led the man to the bathroom on the second floor. His tall figure appeared in the bathroom, and the space immediately seemed much more cramped.

She bent over and taught him step by step which side of the shower switch was for hot water and which was for cold water. He stood behind her, his eyes wandering to her waist, but his hands were obediently tucked into his pockets, not moving.

She turned her head and stared at him: "Remember, don't make a mistake?"

He nodded.

She went out again, brought back clean bath towels and towels and placed them in a conspicuous place for him, then turned around and closed the door for him.

He called her with a cold face, "Don't you want to wash together?"

Jiang Yuan held his breath, and before he could speak, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "I bet you don't dare."

What a clumsy way of provoking her. Jiang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"I didn't bring any change of clothes, not even underwear."

Jiang Yuan had forgotten about this and wanted to ask him if he could just make do with it, but she swallowed it back and said, "You wash it first, I'll go out and buy some."

Jiang Yuan went to the largest supermarket in town. It was New Year's Day and everyone had nothing to do, so there were more people shopping in the supermarket than usual.

She didn't want to see anyone she knew, so in order to make a quick decision, she picked up two pairs of men's underwear at random from the rows of shelves. The price was marked at 60 yuan per pair, which was the most expensive pair on the entire shelf.

She had a shopping basket slung over her arm, and in the empty basket, a pair of men's underwear stood out. Familiar faces were coming and going in the supermarket. She was just stuffing the underwear into her down jacket pocket when a voice suddenly rang out in her ears, "Yuanyuan, are you here to buy something for your boyfriend?"

She turned her head and put the underwear back into the basket, "Ah, auntie."

The woman was Jiang Yuan's next-door neighbor. She peered into Jiang Yuan's basket and smiled at her. "It's not easy for your boyfriend to come all the way here. Would you like to stay at home for a few more days?"

Jiang Yuan suppressed the embarrassment on her face and tried to respond calmly, "He has something else to do, so he'll leave tomorrow."

"Ah, so fast, how come..."

The woman clearly wanted to talk more, but Jiang Yuan cut the Gordian knot and said, "I'm in a hurry to get back. Let's talk another day."

Woman: "Okay, I'll go to your house this afternoon to wish you a happy new year."

Jiang Yuan responded with an "hmm," and quickly turned and left. When she passed the men's clothing area, she stopped, took a look at the men's down jackets, then picked out a large black down jacket, stuffed it into the shopping cart, and carefully covered the two eye-catching pairs of underwear.

She quickly came to the cashier, put the things on the counter, and pretended to turn her head and look around casually.

Her peripheral vision happened to catch a glimpse of the small shelf on the counter. Under several rows of chewing gum, boxes of eye-catching little things were neatly stacked. Her sight seemed to be inadvertently pricked. She glanced at the cashier opposite, a middle-aged woman with a numb face, who was scanning the price tags of down jackets. After hesitating for two seconds, she slowly reached out her hand.

"Jiang Yuan! What a coincidence! Are you here to buy something? Why didn't you bring your boyfriend with you?"

Her shoulder was patted from behind, and she shuddered violently. She immediately retracted her outstretched hand, her face flushed red, and she turned her head in the direction of the voice. In front of her was a girl dressed quite fashionably. It took her five seconds to recognize that she was her former elementary school classmate.
