It gets dark earlier in the fall, and when the two of them left the company, the crescent moon was already high in the sky. Jiang Sinian didn't hire a driver, so he drove himself, and Xu Nuomi sat in the passenger seat.
It was past the evening rush hour and there wasn't much traffic on the road. Jiang Sinian drove slowly and steadily, and the two of them chatted idly.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not bad," Xu Nuo shook his head, "I slept all afternoon, and the battery hasn't been used up yet."
Jiang Sinian heard this for the first time and smiled. "Then what should I eat to replenish my energy?"
"Hot pot? When the weather gets cold, we have to eat hot pot!"
Now that I think about it, Xu Nuo really has a special liking for hot pot. Whether in the real world or in the small world of the past, the two of them always go to eat hot pot when they are in doubt.
"Cook it yourself at home?"
"Okay, okay! Do we have enough ingredients at home?"
"Then let's go to the supermarket first." Jiang Sinian liked the way he said the word "home" so naturally. Maybe Xu Nuo just got used to it after living together for so many lifetimes, but it meant a lot to him. No matter which world it was, Xu Nuo could always give him the meaning of "home". "And buy some snacks you like."
Jiang Sinian's apartment wasn't far from the company, and next to it was a large supermarket. Xu Nuo hadn't been to a supermarket in ages, and once inside, he couldn't wait to clear out all the snack aisles. Jiang Sinian would be there, pushing the shopping cart and occasionally helping Xu Nuo make decisions when he was struggling with decision-making.
"Banana milk or chocolate milk?"
"Take whatever you like."
"Do you want mixed flavored sugar or black tea flavored sugar?"
"Hmm...mixed flavors?"
“Why don’t you say you’ll buy everything this time?”
"You'll get a toothache if you eat too much."
Xu Nuo glared at him angrily, "I won't eat it secretly!"
"Hmm," Jiang Sinian snorted his head obediently, "You'll get a toothache if you eat too much."
Xu Nuo silently put the black tea flavored ones back on the shelf and hummed, "Let's go buy vegetables and meat."
The meat and vegetables filled the little space left in the shopping cart. Jiang Sinian pushed the cart, and Xu Nuo tugged at his sleeve as they walked toward the checkout counter. Not far from the checkout counter stood a row of small, colorful shelves. Xu Nuo tilted his head to get a closer look, then retreated, blushing.
Jiang Sinian couldn't help but let out a chuckle and tilted his head to look at him, "Do you want to take it?"
"...Just take it!" Xu Nuo stiffened his neck, his face flushed red, and argued like a belligerent little lion. "Go get it!"
He didn't know how tempting he was. Jiang Sinian's eyes darkened, and he gently stroked the car with his fingers. After a few seconds, he replied in a dry voice, "I give up..."
Xu Nuo glanced at him in surprise. After all, even if Jiang Sinian seemed abstinent in every world, it was only in appearance. He was caught red-handed while peeking in surprise. "Hubby... when you had the car accident before..."
He didn't finish his words, but Jiang Sinian miraculously understood what he meant. The restrained man's face darkened a little, "I'm not..."
"I'll take good care of you! It's okay!" The young man looked at Jiang Sinian sincerely and repeated, "It's okay!"
As the two of them walked to the checkout counter, the cashier was standing opposite them picking out the goods in an orderly manner. Jiang Sinian didn't want to bring up the matter again in front of other people, so he could only grit his teeth, take out his mobile phone and type a few times in the chat box.
jsn: When will it be ready?
The reply came quickly, "It will probably take two to three weeks, Mr. Jiang."
jsn: As soon as possible, need to expedite

The other party was probably also shocked by this series of zeros, and it took a long time to reply, "I will try my best to make it for you this week!"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong at the company?" Xu Nuo turned to look at the man who was looking at his phone with a serious face.
"It's okay." The two hands holding each other tightened twice. "I'll deal with you in a few days."
Xu Nuo was confused by what he heard, but he nodded honestly, which seemed more like a provocation.
