Chapter 25 The young man is quite handsome, so why is he so stingy?
Xie Yanning chuckled, "You seem to know quite a lot about this."
"After all, he's an old classmate, so I just caught up with him." Su Wanwan didn't shy away from the topic anymore. It wasn't her fault that Xie Yanning didn't like her back then. Everyone is an adult now, and it's time to let go of the past.
One should be open and honest in life.
“Look at you, you’re only half a year younger than me and you’re already an associate professor, while I’m still a resident. How can there be such a big difference between people?” Su Wanwan took a bite of a bun, still a little indignant: “Not to mention you’re such a good cook. If you ever stop doing research, you could open a restaurant and become a boss.”
"..." Xie Yanning's expression was extremely complicated. "We are in different fields, so there is no need to compare. Besides, half a year is not a big deal."
No matter how smart Xie Yanning was, he couldn't understand why Su Wanwan wanted to compete with him in this.
Besides, what's wrong with being half a year younger!
“Of course you don’t think so.” Su Wanwan felt a little sad. “We are all classmates, but you have already reached a height that I can’t reach. When you are a professor, I may still be a junior doctor.”
Su Wanwan understood that she was only able to succeed because her family was well-off.
In an ordinary family, she might have been driven to her death by now.
She has to worry about her future, daily necessities, her family, and sometimes the suffocating procedures at the hospital.
Xie Yanning decided to drop the topic.
"Are you planning to go back and catch up on your sleep after you finish eating?"
"No, let's go to the supermarket and buy some cat food for Yuanxiao."
"Let's go together then," Xie Yanning said. "I also need to go buy some things."
Su Wanwan suddenly looked up at him.
"You rarely have time, don't you need to spend some time with others?" Su Wanwan asked cryptically.
"My parents went back."
"..." This is completely irrelevant. "Don't your parents live here often?"
"They rarely come here."
Su Wanwan then noticed that the house's decor was somewhat cold and hard, and at least in her intuition, it lacked the softness of a young woman.
That makes sense, she hasn't run into Zhang Yunqing here.
It's been eight years already, they should be an old married couple by now, why are they still in a platonic relationship?
Su Wanwan glanced at Xie Yanning. He had a high nose bridge, and his fingers holding the bowl were long and slightly pink, indicating that he was in good health.
The veins on his forehead are also quite prominent, and based on this somewhat unreliable deduction, he probably isn't too bad in that area.
At this age, is it really reasonable to be into Plato? Won't it be all style and no substance? Wouldn't that be terrible?
"What are you looking at?" Xie Yanning instinctively felt that Su Wanwan's gaze was a bit strange; he even saw pity in it.
Su Wanwan dared not let him know that she was speculating whether he had a problem in some way.
"No," Su Wanwan denied matter-of-factly.
Xie Yanning couldn't stop looking at him suspiciously; he knew this person was probably thinking something inappropriate.
Of course, one day later, Xie Yanning finally learned of Su Wanwan's suspicions and then once again demonstrated to her whether she had a problem or not.
After finishing their meal, the two went to the supermarket together.
At this time, the supermarket has just opened, and as long as you don't fight with the elderly for eggs, there are basically no people.
Xie Yanning was still driving.
Su Wanwan no longer wanted to discuss the issue of who could sit in Xie Yanning's passenger seat.
That's so narrow-minded.
They went to a large supermarket nearby, which had three floors.
However, they were still a step too late. The elderly folks were a bit brave, but when they arrived at the entrance, there was only a pitiful cart left.
“Let’s share one,” Xie Yanning said, then asked after a moment’s thought, “Are you going to buy a lot?”
“One is fine,” Su Wanwan said, since the stroller was big enough anyway: “I don’t have many things to buy.”
With a clear purpose in mind, the two headed straight for the fresh produce section.
Su Wanwan picked out a lot of vegetables and fruits, and each person occupied one side to keep them separate.
I also bought some meatballs, sliced meat, and the simplest kind of food.
Xie Yanning frowned almost imperceptibly as she watched her get into the shopping cart: "Is this all you usually eat?"
“Professor Xie, not everyone has your culinary skills. I personally don’t like to challenge myself in areas that are not suitable for me.” Su Wanwan said very confidently, “What’s wrong with saying all this? It’s nutritious and simple, the so-called simplicity of the great way.”
After listening to Su Wanwan's long string of absurd arguments, Xie Yanning said, "Come down and eat with us when you have time."
Even with her thick skin, Su Wanwan felt embarrassed and said, "That won't be necessary."
"Consider it a thank you for the gifts your parents gave you."
"Huh?" Su Wanwan looked puzzled. "Isn't it just those from last time?"
“Not only that,” Xie Yanning said, “Later, your parents even sent some over directly, and my mom…” He chose a word, “They should be good sisters.”
"..." Given Ms. Zhong's social skills, Su Wanwan had no doubts.
Therefore, aside from a tiny bit of past friendship, most of the care and assistance was due to requests from others.
"Thank you for your help," Su Wanwan said sincerely. She felt bad thinking about Xie Yanning's statement that he only cooked for his family, and now she had to break her principles after accepting his request.
No, something that's free is problematic. This is a bribe, so it shouldn't be considered a bribe.
Su Wanwan quickly prepared herself mentally.
At most, it's a cash-on-delivery transaction.
“It won’t be a hassle,” Xie Yanning said to Su Wanwan, a hint of unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes.
After purchasing raw vegetables and cooked food, the two moved on to the imported goods section to buy cat food.
Imported goods are located on the first floor, which is also the cashier area.
There were fewer people here. Xie Yanning watched her choose, and he glanced at the prices: "You're quite generous with your cat."
Imported cat food is more than half the price of regular cat food.
Su Wanwan sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I don't have much time to spend with it, so I can only satisfy it financially."
"Aren't you going to make cat soup anymore?" Xie Yanning smiled.
"..." Su Wanwan: "Animal abuse is illegal."
When it was time to pay, Su Wanwan was in front. She picked out her items, and after the cashier packed them up, she opened her WeChat payment code, but for some reason, it kept spinning.
It's clearly a 5G network, but it just won't connect.
Su Wanwan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
She said to the cashier apologetically, "Excuse me, please wait a moment."
There were already voices of dissatisfaction in the queue behind.
"Hurry up, I need to get back to cook for my granddaughter!"
"That's right, don't delay us from picking up people."
"If you can't, then let us old folks have a turn first. Our legs are sore from walking all morning."
Xie Yanning gently pushed her away and said to the cashier, "Let's pay together, scan these as well."
Su Wanwan forced a smile. "I'm sorry."
"I'll return it later."
"Of course."
The old man behind them spoke up, "What are you two young lovers up to? You came out of the supermarket together, and you're still talking about splitting the bill?"
"You're such a good-looking young man, why are you so stingy?" the older woman behind him said, sounding a bit annoyed.
Su Wanwan, who was helping the cashier tidy up, said, "Uh... excuse me—"
