Chapter 54 Supermarket
◎ "You go study"◎
The funeral was finally over. Jiang Lingling finally did not take their car and took the bus back to Wanjiang by herself. Zhou Hong and Jiang Mingfeng had some things to do in their hometown, so they needed to stay for two more days.
When they checked in their luggage and left, Jiang Mingfeng went out to play, and only Zhou Hong was sitting in the yard. When she heard the noise, she turned around, first greeted Zhao Yan, and then looked at Jiang Siyue without saying a word.
Zhao Yan fully understood the meaning, took Jiang Siyue's luggage, left a message "I'll wait for you in the car", and turned to leave. The gate of the courtyard opened and closed again. When Zhou Hong's patience was about to run out, she spoke.
"What are your plans after graduation?"
Jiang Siyue knew that she was laying the groundwork, so she didn't push her to ask the key points. She answered smoothly, "Study for a Ph.D. in China." She had to pay for her own tuition for graduate studies, so she could now talk openly about studying for a Ph.D.
"That's good. It's always good for girls to graduate with higher education."
Jiang Siyue smiled and said nothing more. After a moment, Zhou Hong sighed deeply and finally talked about what happened last night. "As a mother, I naturally hope that you and your sister are doing well. It's inconvenient for her to take care of a child, so I asked you to give her a ride. I raised you from childhood, so of course I hope that you two can help each other and be well."
It's actually quite boring to chew over some bad accounts over and over again. Her feelings towards that nominal home had been going downhill for many years.
However, there is no need to mention these now.
"Okay, I get it." Jiang Siyue finished speaking and turned to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Hong. "Think about it yourself. How have I not taken good care of you since you were a child? Am I partial to you? What do you have to feel wronged about now? Your sister doesn't have as much education as you do, so it's not easy for her to find a job. You should try to help her in the future. She has never let you down since you were a child."
Jiang Siyue's thoughts were hazy for a moment, and she quickly pulled herself away from the past memories. She said calmly, "I didn't say you were partial, nor did I say I was wronged. I said I understand."
Zhou Hong stood there in a daze. Jiang Siyue curled the corners of her mouth slightly, nodded politely, walked around her, turned around and left the yard.
The sunlight above was overflowing, making people feel warm. Pushing open the door, Jiang Siyue saw Zhao Yan standing outside the courtyard gate. He was leaning against the doorpost. After seeing her, he stood up straight, was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.
He was probably afraid that he would hide and cry secretly.
She trotted forward, took his arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go!"
The journey back was too far, so the two drove to the nearest airport, called a designated driver to take the car away, and then took a plane back to Yunjing.
Although Zhao Yan still had to work during the summer vacation, it was generally much more relaxed than at school. The occasional group meetings were all held online. After such a break, Jiang Siyue became adept at data processing and wrote her paper very smoothly. By mid-August, the second revision had been completed.
"Once you finish revising it this time, you can start investing." Zhao Yan handed the tablet to her directly.
"Got it!" Jiang Siyue took it solemnly and placed the tablet on the desk. However, before he could even glance at it, it was taken away. He looked up in dissatisfaction and met Zhao Yan's helpless eyes. He emphasized, "Today is Saturday."
"Yeah." Jiang Siyue responded in a daze.
Zhao Yan had no choice but to reach out and beckon, and they switched places. He sat on the stool, and she sat on Zhao Yan's lap. She hadn't gone out today, and she was still wearing pajamas and shorts for comfort. Only the thin fabric of his pants separated them, and the warmth of his pants made Jiang Siyue blush. She made a move to stand up, but he pushed her back down.
“Stop making trouble…”
"Who's making a fuss?" Zhao Yan held her hand and buried his head in her shoulder. "I'm not making a fuss."
"..." Jiang Siyue couldn't say anything else. His hands were getting more and more wanton. Before things got serious, Jiang Siyue hurriedly shouted, "That... is gone."
"Hmm?" Zhao Yan buried his head in her shoulder, and his lips touched behind her ear. Jiang Siyue's body softened and she quickly dodged, breathing rapidly and saying: "I didn't know the size last time, so I picked up a box each... The ones you can use are gone." After saying this, Jiang Siyue felt that she would be able to do the pre smoothly next time.
Zhao Yan's hand stopped, Jiang Siyue quickly broke free from him, grabbed the water cup on the table, and took a big gulp of water.
"Change clothes."
"Ah?" Jiang Siyue was still confused, and then she thought she had hooked him by exposing her legs. "Long shirt and long pants? But that would be very hot..."
Zhao Yan was amused by her train of thought and explained, "Go out and do some shopping."
Jiang Siyue tried her best to convince herself not to think about what he was going to purchase.
The nearby supermarkets were some distance away, so after parking the car, the two took the elevator upstairs together.
After pulling out a small cart, Zhao Yan went straight to the fresh food area. Jiang Siyue felt that she might have misunderstood. Zhao Yan's purchase might be literal.
My aunt has been on leave recently, so the two of them have been eating out and ordering takeout. Zhao Yan must be tired of it.
After thinking it through, the burden in his heart disappeared, and he went shopping in peace. Jiang Siyue had no interest in the fresh produce section, and Zhao Yan knew her dietary restrictions and preferences, so he finished shopping in no time.
"I want to buy some snacks." Jiang Siyue blinked, her eyes pleading. Zhao Yan only found out this month that she loved snacking while working on her thesis. They'd ordered takeout a few times before, but many varieties were out of stock.
"You can only buy this amount once." Zhao Yan specified the limit in advance. She ate as much as she could, not even noticing her stomach bloating. She often had stomach aches in the middle of the night.
"OK!"
The two pushed the cart straight to the snack area. Under Zhao Yan's gaze, Jiang Siyue didn't dare to take more. Fortunately, God heard her prayers. Zhao Yan had an important call and wanted to find a quiet place to answer it.
Jiang Siyue raised her hand as if swearing, then pushed Zhao Yan away. After watching him disappear, Jiang Siyue was thinking about what to take while happily turning back to look at Xu Chu at the other end of the shelf. Her smile froze in place.
Xu Chu's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Jiang Siyue understood instantly. He had seen the intimacy between Zhao Yan and himself, and knew the relationship between himself and Zhao Yan.
Alarm bells rang in her head. Jiang Siyue didn't care about pushing the cart. She rushed to Xu Chu and anxiously begged him, "Xu Chu, please don't tell anyone else, okay?"
The shock in Xu Chu's eyes was even greater. When he saw the gleam of the diamond on her pinky ring, he felt mixed emotions.
He didn't answer for a long time. Jiang Siyue became anxious and continued, "I didn't mean to hide it from everyone. Can you help me keep it a secret? When the time is right, I will-"
"Okay." Afraid that she would say something mean and ruin the image of her as his first love, Xu Chu said, "I promise I won't tell anyone."
After receiving the reply, Jiang Siyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Catching up on something like this was nothing but embarrassment. Neither side had much to say. After a moment of silence, Jiang Siyue tightened her grip on the strap of her backpack and said, "Then I'll be leaving first. You continue."
"Yeah." Xu Chu still hadn't reacted to this fact, his eyes were complicated.
Jiang Siyue turned around awkwardly and pushed the cart to look for Zhao Yan. As he finished talking and walked in, Jiang Siyue pushed the cart forward eagerly and almost couldn't stop. Zhao Yan frowned and pulled her back.
"What's the rush?"
"I just ran into Xu Chu!" Jiang Siyue was extremely nervous. "He saw us together, but I asked him to keep it a secret, and he agreed."
Zhao Yan stretched out his hand and tapped her brow lightly, a little amused, "Why are you so nervous? We are a legal couple, not an affair. If you know, then you know."
My heart sank, and my eyes rolled a few times, "But..."
"No buts." Zhao Yan pushed the cart forward with his right hand, "What else do you want to buy?"
"Forget it." Jiang Siyue didn't want to go shopping anymore. "Let's go home."
There were quite a lot of people queuing at the checkout counter, and the line moved slowly. It took a long time before it was their turn. After taking out all the things, Zhao Yan pulled out a small square box from the shelf nearby and threw it onto the checkout counter.
Just a casual glance over.
Long-lasting, zero feel, large size.
As if I was scalded, I quickly took the bag and started to pack things in it. While packing, I told myself that there was nothing to be shy about. It was just a tool and I should treat it normally.
"It's ready."
"Um."
Zhao Yan looked helpless, and Jiang Siyue then realized that she was holding the plastic bag tightly. She quickly let go and left the cashier counter.
After returning home, Zhao Yan put the food in the refrigerator and handed the bag to Jiang Siyue. The bag was full of her snacks and was to be placed in the study on the second floor.
After arranging the snacks neatly, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He turned back to take the things out of the bag, and when he saw the identical small square boxes, he quickly stood up, grabbed the bag and rushed to the room.
The bedside table on his side was empty, but after putting these things in, it was immediately full. There were still two boxes that couldn't fit in, so they had to be temporarily placed on the table.
Jiang Siyue felt a little greasy after finishing the steak she had made for dinner. She collapsed on the sofa and ate watermelon. The cool and refreshing juice swept every corner of her mouth. Jiang Siyue closed her eyes in satisfaction. Something flashed through her mind in an instant. She sat up hurriedly and asked, "Are you going to the lecture at Hua University the day after tomorrow?"
"Um."
"It's over!" Jiang Siyue wailed, "I haven't prepared it yet! I'll get it done right away."
Before Zhao Yan could say anything, she ran away like a gust of wind.
I was in such a hurry that I forgot to take my pajamas. After taking a shower, I returned to the room wrapped in a bath towel. Zhao Yan was sitting on a chair and our eyes met.
"Why are you in the room?" Jiang Siyue was confused. "Aren't you going to exercise today?"
She wrapped the bath towel into a tube top style, exposing her fair shoulders with water marks on them, and her round figure was faintly visible under her slender collarbone.
Zhao Yan's eyes darkened. He pulled her over and pressed her to sit on his lap. "I'll wait for you."
Jiang Siyue was a sports idiot and was very resistant to this. She struggled to get up and said, "I don't want to. I need to prepare for tomorrow's lecture."
"I'm giving a lecture, what do you have to prepare?" Zhao Yan pulled her back. After this action, the bath towel, which had no support, loosened and exposed its shape.
His gaze fixed, the coldness in Zhao Yan's black eyes completely retreated, and at a glance, there was a lustful look that could not be seen. Jiang Siyue suddenly felt something was wrong, and the movement of her hands struggling became stronger. She said in annoyance: "Zhao Yan, let go, I have to do something serious."
"It's also a serious matter to do it."
Jiang Siyue was at a loss for words, as he twisted her words into something else. His hands were not idle, roaming everywhere, bringing warmth wherever they passed. Soon, his scent lingered everywhere on her body. Jiang Siyue's rationality had mostly dissipated, and she collapsed weakly in his arms, panting softly.
Zhao Yan let her go and said, "Okay, go study."
“…”
How can I learn when it’s like this?
