Chapter Sixteen Supermarket
After glancing at the comments, I got up, brushed my teeth, rinsed my mouth, and ate breakfast.
An hour and a half later, Jiang You sneaked up on Xia Yan's car.
Inside the car, the boy sported a thick head of slightly parted hair and wore a black short-sleeved shirt that revealed his sexy and delicate collarbone.
Her smooth, slender neck, like that of a swan, was adorned with two necklaces.
A cross hangs from a long iron chain, and a short black rope with gold trim hangs a round white jade about the size of a thumbnail.
At this moment, he tilted his head slightly, his beautiful, captivating eyes fixed on the girl as he watched her get into the car like a thief.
When did Xia Yan become a shameful rat?
Whenever he goes out, people who know him rack their brains and try every means to get close to him, just to create the impression that they have a relationship with him.
Only this little fool is so quiet and reserved; he only moves when poked, which is kind of adorable.
Yet, this very person could control his mind, perhaps like the game of Animal Chess, where one thing subdues another, and he willingly submits to being subdued.
Xia Yan watched Jiang You close the car door, then, after pressing her tongue against her canines for a moment, lazily asked, "Jiang You, why are you wearing a coat today?"
Jiang You sat hunched over in the passenger seat, silently zipping his jacket all the way up.
If it weren't for the numerous hickeys on her neck, would she have bothered wearing a jacket in the middle of summer? And he had the nerve to ask!
His face flushed, he lowered his head, not intending to speak.
After waiting for three seconds and seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Yan raised her eyebrows, leaned closer, and the faint fruity scent suddenly became strong, enveloping the girl.
Jiang You was still not used to the boy's approach.
Especially thinking about the full-body photo he sent last night, my heart skipped a beat. I pressed my hand against his chest, quickly looked at him, and my voice trembled slightly:
"you......"
He had barely uttered a word when his slightly cool index finger slipped inside her collar, brushing against her neck and pulling it down to reveal a small patch of skin with lingering hickeys.
Xia Yan glanced at it, a smile playing on her lips, her mood improving slightly. She stepped forward and gave that spot on the skin a deep, suggestive kiss, leaving a new, ambiguous red mark.
Jiang You felt a burning sensation on his neck, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his hands helplessly braced between the two men.
Xia Yan pulled away from her neck, his lips resting on her chin, his hot breath spraying onto her cheeks.
"Don't get heat rash," he said in a hoarse voice, kissing the girl's chin as he reached out to help her take off her coat.
"No!" Jiang You's mind cleared instantly, and he protected the zipper with both hands.
There's absolutely no way I'd go out with a hickey on my skin.
Xia Yan looked up, thought for a moment, and since both the car and the supermarket had air conditioning, she went with the girl.
"Okay, whatever makes you happy," he smiled gently, skillfully started the car, turned down the air conditioning temperature, and steadily pressed the accelerator, driving towards MAX Department Store.
Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the boy looking intently ahead, she lowered her head to straighten her slightly disheveled clothes before silently turning her gaze to the scenery receding outside the car window.
She has always enjoyed the quiet time spent in the car, a time when she can temporarily escape all her worries and stress.
Xia Yan noticed this but didn't say anything. Instead, she tapped on a song that Jiang You had shared on his WeChat Moments.
The familiar tune of "The Wind Rises" played in the car, its volume neither too loud nor too soft, like a gentle breeze rippling across a lake, gradually spreading throughout the entire carriage.
Jiang You, who had been tense while with the boy, unconsciously relaxed.
The car soon arrived at the parking lot in front of the supermarket.
The supermarket was the same one I visited yesterday. There were several snow-white, exquisitely carved European-style sculptures at the entrance.
After parking the car, Xia Yan led Jiang You inside.
The revolving door is gleaming and eye-catching, with a smooth and elegant metal frame, resembling the gilded lines outlining a magic box, showcasing its prestige.
In front of the piano in the center of the first floor, stands the same pretty girl in the white dress from yesterday.
"You want me to go up and play?" Xia Yan looked down and saw Jiang You staring intently at the piano in the distance.
Jiang You hurriedly shook his head. Having witnessed the boy's decisiveness, he feared that if she hesitated for even a second, he would pull her over.
Seeing that he didn't speak and was silently staring into her eyes, Jiang You didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled him inside.
Although being with him greatly satisfied her vanity, she didn't want to show off. She just wanted to be like Alice, returning to reality after her dream of Wonderland, and living a peaceful life with 200,000.
Xia Yan chuckled softly, and Jiang You's ears turned red instantly. He tried to pull his hand away, but Xia Yan held it tightly and pulled him inside.
The fresh produce section is exceptionally large, with crystal chandeliers on the dome casting shimmering starlight and scattering golden light, making the Italian marble shine brilliantly.
The refrigerated display case contained Boston lobsters, French Gillardeau oysters, Norwegian king salmon, Alaskan king crabs...
In the aquaculture tank, Australian red snapper, Japanese goldeneye snapper, Russian sturgeon, and more swim...
Vegetable and fruit shelves, organic vegetable section... A nutritionist gracefully stands by, gently offering customers pairing suggestions, while a nanny deftly picks and bags the produce.
Jiang You was dumbfounded. Her mind was in a mess yesterday, and she hadn't noticed that the supermarket was far more luxurious than she had imagined.
Thankfully, Xia Yan didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he really wanted to ruffle the little country girl's hair and hug her and give her a good kiss.
How can something so rustic be so adorable?
A truly luxurious supermarket isn't just about its decor and service. The reason this young master Xia came to this kind of affordable supermarket is simply because he wants to cultivate a relationship with Jiang You.
At this moment, Xia Yan carefully selected the ingredients, and Jiang You, like a docile little lamb, was led by him and obediently followed by his side.
Not long after, he finished selecting his ingredients and headed towards the self-checkout area.
As I passed the manned checkout counter, I saw Okamoto, Durex, and Celebrity brands on it.
Xia Yan withdrew her gaze, pondered for a moment, then raised her eyebrows slightly and curled her thin lips into a smile.
He released Jiang You's hand and said casually, "Jiang You, I'm a little thirsty. I'll pay the bill here. Could you go and get me a bottle of iced cola?"
Jiang You nodded without suspicion and turned to walk towards the freezer where the drinks were displayed.
Thinking that she had received 200,000 yuan, she felt she had to do something for Young Master Xia, so she worked very diligently.
"Silly boy..." Xia Yan chuckled and handed the cart to the waiter beside her.
The waiters, wearing vests and white gloves, skillfully and carefully placed the items from the cart onto the cashier's counter.
While scanning the product barcodes, the cashier secretly glanced at the stunning young man standing to the side.
She was tall and slender, with a straight nose and thin lips. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were reddish at the corners, and her eyes, like shimmering spring water, stared at the goods on the shelf next to her, making a serious decision. However, she had difficulty making a choice, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The cashier was very excited. Seeing such a handsome man on this dull and boring day was a pleasant surprise in her otherwise tedious life.
Before she could even get excited for a few seconds, the handsome young man, who looked like a fairy, reached out and took five boxes of Okamoto 0.01 Ultra-thin Extra Large cigarettes with his well-defined fingers. Then, he reached out and took five more boxes.
She: Wow!
Xia Yan sent Jiang You away because he was afraid of scaring her, so he bought the goods behind her back so as not to frighten her.
After taking the money, noticing the cashier's surprised expression, he slowly asked, "What's wrong?"
A smile played on her lips, her eyes shone like stars, and her gentle warmth was like a spring breeze.
Xia Yan is good at putting on an act when she's out in public.
The cashier, with her cute bun hairstyle, stared at him blankly with her large, bright eyes, as lively as a deer's, and his heart began to race.
He quickly realized what was happening, shook his head, his face flushed, and lowered his head to continue scanning the product barcode.
