Supermarket Journey
As soon as Ding Xuefei said this, the group chat exploded.
Cheng Luo: [Cat's Question]
Lu Huai: What? I didn't see it wrong, did I? Fei Ge ran into his ex on the show?? Was it on purpose?
Ding Xuefei: It wasn't me, I already said it was a friend of mine.
Lu Huai: Do you believe me or do you believe I am Qin Shi Huang?
Cheng Luo: Okay, so what's the current situation with our friend Fei Ge?
Ding Xuefei: I just want to beat the other person up all the time, but because I'm filming a show, I have to hold back. [sigh]
Lu Huai: Seriously, bro? First of all, we can't hit women, and secondly, why are you saying it's a pity you can't hit them?
Ding Xuefei: ...
Cheng Luo: [Huang Dou covers his mouth]
Ding Xuefei: Please give this friend some advice.
Lu Huai: It also depends on what kind of ex it is. A peaceful breakup and the other person cheating are not the same way of getting along. By the way, Lao Ding, what's this about?
Ding Xuefei: There was no cheating, but it wasn't exactly peaceful either.
Lu Huai: Well, I don't know what to do either. Why worry about so much? If you like someone, go for it; if you don't, just be ordinary colleagues.
Ding Xuefei thought about it and it seemed to make sense. It was easy to say, but in reality, it might not be so easy to do.
Cheng Luo: Perhaps we should clarify things first? Understand each other's thoughts, or reach an agreement so that we can all get along normally on the show?
Ding Xuefei gave it a "like," thinking to herself that Cheng Luo really had a way with things. But then again, hadn't the two of them already reached an agreement last night? Probably, maybe, that's how it was?
Ding Xuefei: Understood, I will pass it on to my friend. [ok]
Cheng Luo: Please let us know if there are any new developments! [Cat peeking]
Ding Xuefei replied with an "OK" and then turned off her phone screen, satisfied.
At the same time, a new three-person group was created, named "Feige's Friends Gossip Center".
"The Mystery of My Heart" is a combination of live streaming and pre-recorded broadcast. The guests who will appear have all been officially announced. Lu Huai quickly found the list and sent it to the group.
He looked at the three girls and felt they didn't seem like the right person, but then he noticed a familiar name among the male guests.
Wait a minute... no way, although... this is too much...
Lu Huai: Wait a minute, I think I've discovered something incredible.
Cheng Luo: [Cat startled]
Half an hour later, Xia Xingye, who had just finished work, exclaimed: "What? What did I miss? Fei-ge ran into his ex? Which one? Which one?"

In the afternoon, the room door opened, and Ding Xuefei slowly woke up.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Xuefei, I woke you up."
"Oh, it's nothing." Ding Xuefei looked up and saw Ke Ran, who had just come back from going out. He checked the time and it was already past four o'clock. He had slept for more than an hour.
Just as he was rubbing his eyes and getting up, he heard Ke Ran say, "Brother Xuefei, I'm going to the supermarket in a bit. Do you want to come with us?"
Ding Xuefei had just woken up and was still not fully awake. She only heard the first half of the sentence, so she readily agreed: "Okay, let's go together."
When Ding Xuefei finished dressing and came downstairs, she was dumbfounded again—the person sitting on the sofa waiting for them was none other than Yu Songlin.
"He...he's going too?" Ding Xuefei's fingers trembled.
Ke Ran said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I just said that."
Huh? Did you say so?
The door behind me opened slightly, and then a lively voice rang out: "Brother Xuefei, you're coming too? Yay!"
It was Xu Yimeng. Ding Xuefei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At worst, they would be divided into two groups, and he wouldn't be with Yu Songlin.
Yu Songlin stood up to greet them. He was wearing a simple casual outfit today, the simple cut of which accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs, making him look low-key yet outstanding.
Yu Songlin smiled and said, "Everyone's going? That's perfect."
"What's so good about it?" Ding Xuefei immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "Is it because too many people are going? Then I won't go."
"That won't do, it's more lively with more people." Ke Ran reached out and put her arm around Ding Xuefei's shoulder, blocking his way out.
With things having come to this point, Ding Xuefei had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.
From the moment they got in the car, Ke Ran and Xu Yimeng discussed what to buy. They both had some insights into snacks and drinks. Ding Xuefei wanted to join in, but sitting in the passenger seat next to Yu Songlin, she really didn't want to say a word.
At the time, Ding Xuefei was unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, Ke Ran and Xu Yimeng whispered to each other as they pushed another shopping cart toward the snack section.
"Hey, there are drinks over there, let's go buy some."
"Okay, okay."
When Ding Xuefei came to her senses, her noisy younger siblings were no longer in sight; only Yu Songlin remained beside her.
"Hey, wait for me..." Ding Xuefei wanted to slip away, but the two of them had gone far away and didn't hear her, while Yu Songlin heard it clearly.
Yu Songlin's gaze seemed to fall on Ding Xuefei, and Ding Xuefei was too embarrassed to say anything more, so she could only follow Yu Songlin and walk slowly.
There weren't many people in the supermarket, but some were secretly taking pictures. Ding Xuefei wasn't the type to enjoy shopping and was a bit shy, so she stayed close to Yu Songlin, keeping a comfortable distance.
Now he misses the time when there were four of them. Back then, if he didn't say anything, there were two people to save the day. Now that it's just the two of them, he's really silent.
The less they spoke, the quieter the surroundings became. The two strolled around separately, and the atmosphere unexpectedly became somewhat stagnant.
Bullet comments:
"Going to the supermarket is great, I love watching them go shopping."
"Xiaomeng and Xiaoran are so in sync! A potato chip head and a candy head, they're a perfect match!"
"While the chef is buying groceries, why is Ding Xuebeng giving me the cold shoulder again?"
"Didn't they say he and Yu Songlin didn't get along? It seems the rumors were true."
"Huh? But why?"
"Maybe he's a love rival."
"Maybe it's just because DXF is like this [disdain]. Look at him, showing off again."
"Is it possible that he just looks like this... and only doesn't talk? Don't be jealous of good-looking people."
Honestly, Ding Xuefei didn't throw a tantrum or try to look cool. He just didn't know how to accompany his ex to the supermarket without letting anyone notice.
He's not an actor! It's already amazing that he didn't move his hands and feet in unison!
Yu Songlin turned his head and asked him, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Ding Xuefei noticed it but had already turned her gaze away, staring wide-eyed at the frozen fish in the freezer.
"I'm fine with either."
Before meeting Yu Songlin, Ding Xuefei didn't like going to the supermarket, but he liked going with Yu Songlin.
On Friday afternoons, Yu Songlin, who has no classes, would pick up Ding Xuefei. After class, the two would go out to eat and then go grocery shopping.
Ding Xuefei has no interest in cooking, but she finds it very interesting to discuss with Yu Songlin what to eat tomorrow.
He was a bit of a picky eater, refusing to eat this or that. Yu Songlin didn't always indulge him. To ensure a balanced diet, he would coax Ding Xuefei into bringing him some dishes he didn't like, promising to cook them in a way that Ding Xuefei wouldn't dislike. Most of the time, Ding Xuefei would succeed.
Yu Songlin also had a bit of a chef's obsession; whenever he saw fresh ingredients, he wanted to buy them and try cooking them. At that time, he didn't have much of a budget, so Ding Xuefei would often rationally stop him, warning him not to buy too much and to pay attention to the combination of ingredients, etc.
When they were browsing the snack section, the situation reversed. Yu Songlin didn't allow Ding Xuefei to eat too many snacks, and his attitude was quite firm. In order to satisfy his cravings, Ding Xuefei had to coax Yu Songlin, whether by acting cute or fulfilling some of his small requests. Now that he thinks about it, he seriously suspects that this guy did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, Ding Xuefei felt angry without realizing it, and the temperature of her cheeks rose slightly. Fortunately, she was near the freezer, so Yu Songlin and the camera probably couldn't see it.
He tossed a box of ice cream into the shopping cart, met Yu Songlin's astonished gaze, and felt a surge of satisfaction.
"You're already eating ice cream before summer even arrives?" Yu Songlin didn't put it back, but just laughed and said, "I have stomach medicine with me if I get sick from eating it."
Ding Xuefei thought to herself that she didn't want me to make the decision, but she didn't dare to be too outrageous because of the camera, so she just said, "Okay, thank you."
Taking advantage of the camera being a little further away, Yu Songlin asked, "Would you like to eat any of my cooking?"
Ding Xuefei was taken aback by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
To be honest, there was a bit of that. After breaking up with Yu Songlin, he ate takeout and did nothing but work meals. He hardly ever went home, so he had no chance to eat home-cooked meals.
I don't know how Yu Songlin trained. When I met him, his cooking skills were already very good, but he would always adjust them according to Ding Xuefei's taste. He rarely made mistakes. You could say that he understood Ding Xuefei's taste even better than Ding Xuefei did.
【Master, just tell him what you want to eat!】
"I don't want to."
Missing his cooking is essentially missing him, and Ding Xuefei didn't want Yu Songlin to think that way.
[Task issued: Be brave and express your opinion! Please tell the target person, Yu Songlin, which dish he would like to eat.]
Time limit: Two minutes.
Failure penalty: Loss of taste for one week.
Ding Xuefei was extremely dissatisfied: "What's going on? Why isn't there even a reward?"
[Hehe, this task is too easy! Master, tell me quickly!]
Ding Xuefei watched as Yu Songlin put several different kinds of meat into the shopping cart, including ribs, pork belly, beef brisket, and chicken cutlets, and couldn't help but swallow.
If you see so much delicious food for a whole week but can't taste it, what's the fun in life?
Yu Songlin took the meat that the butcher had wrapped for him, thanked him gently, and was about to head to the next stall when he saw Ding Xuefei staring at him expectantly.
"What's wrong?"
Ding Xuefei remained silent, unconsciously rubbing her fingers together, biting her lower lip, her eyes seeming to want to say something, but she hesitated.
He had a pair of world-weary eyes, but when he looked at people with his eyes wide open, his eyes were big and his eyelashes were long and thick, making him look rather pitiful.
Yu Songlin pressed his hand to his chest, barely managing to suppress the pounding in his heart. When he spoke again, his voice unconsciously softened: "What's wrong?"
Ding Xuefei doesn't like to express his preferences casually, nor does he like to trouble others. He has been like this since he was a child. As the older brother, he was required to be more sensible. Later, when he was able to stand on his own, he needed to accommodate others in the team. When he went out to work alone, he didn't want to cause trouble for others.
If it weren't for this system, he would never have made such a request. And the fact that the recipient was Yu Songlin unexpectedly made things a little simpler.
Ding Xuefei didn't want to be too loud, so she could only move a little closer. Yu Songlin readily agreed and lowered his head slightly, bringing his ear close to Ding Xuefei's.
"I want to eat your braised beef brisket with radish."
He mumbled in a deliberately low voice, with a slightly shy tone, quite different from his usual way of speaking.
Yu Songlin chuckled softly, hearing the mosquito-like muttering continue: "And salted egg yolk chicken wings and pineapple ribs."
After Ding Xuefei finished speaking, Yu Songlin was still standing in front of him. Ding Xuefei belatedly smelled the light perfume on Yu Songlin's body and couldn't help but take a half step back, almost bumping into the freezer.
Yu Songlin seemed to wake from a dream, turned his head to meet Ding Xuefei's gaze, and asked him, "Oh, okay, is that all?"
Huh? You agreed so easily?
Ding Xuefei blinked, completely surprised that it would be so easy. He had prepared himself to be rejected, but Yu Songlin agreed so readily.
Perhaps they felt bad refusing because it was for the sake of the show.
Ding Xuefei poked her cheek, which was a little feverish, and deliberately lagged behind Yu Songlin by a few steps. As soon as he looked over, he turned his head to face the freezer, looking at something.
Yu Songlin watched Ding Xuefei's bewildered expression and felt increasingly pleased, his playful nature rekindled.
"Brother Xuefei, come quick!"
Bullet comments:
"This atmosphere... I think I'm starting to feel a little bit of a ship."
"I'm so envious of being able to eat the food cooked by Actor Yu..."
"Please, what's so great about this? Yu Songlin is just being polite."
"Two men shopping at the supermarket discussed things amicably and exchanged polite kowtows."
"Wait, am I seeing things? Is Actor Yu teasing Ding Xuefei?"
Ding Xuefei's daze was interrupted, and he had no choice but to hurry up and catch up. He saw Yu Songlin holding spinach in his hand, pointing to the romaine lettuce on the shelf and asking him, "Spinach or romaine lettuce, which do you prefer?"
"Spinach, please."
At first, Ding Xuefei didn't take it seriously, but later, every time Yu Songlin picked up a dish, he would ask him if he wanted to eat it—some of which he even asked knowingly!
Do you want some carrots?
"Eat... no, I won't eat!" Ding Xuefei answered habitually, but suddenly realized she had almost fallen into Yu Songlin's trap!
Yu Songlin pretended to take a carrot, then put it back in the basket, chuckling, "It's not good not to eat carrots."
"knew!"
Yu Songlin took some more white radishes. This time he didn't ask any questions, but just said to himself, "We need to buy some radishes. Brother Xuefei said he wants to eat braised beef brisket with radishes."
"That, that is..." Ding Xuefei stomped her feet angrily behind the person. She couldn't explain this, so she could only bite her lower lip and feel her face burning.
He was wrong, he was really wrong. Getting along with Yu Songlin was far more difficult than he had imagined!
Yu Songlin's smile deepened. He picked up a yam and deliberately asked, "Brother Xuefei, would you like some yam?"
"Why are you asking me? Stop asking me! Are you doing this on purpose?!" Ding Xuefei got angry when she saw Yu Songlin's smiling face. Afraid that Yu Songlin would ask more questions, she simply ran away.
"I'm going to buy yogurt!" After running a couple of steps, she turned back to add, "Don't follow me!"
Yu Songlin laughed even harder, and after Ding Xuefei had walked away, he said to the camera, "Brother Xuefei is shy."
