Reboot the heyday

The essence of shopping at a supermarket is simply browsing.

The supermarket was bustling with people, and the lights were dazzling.

Wang Taika thought to himself that it had been a long time since he had been to a place like this. Although he had everything he needed now, sometimes he really felt that something was missing.

However, this can't be entirely blamed on Wang Taika; Ji-eun is even busier than him. Don't assume Wang Taika is ignoring Ji-eun; actually, Ji-eun only comes to see Wang Taika when she has a spare moment.

There's nothing we can do; she's a female singer at the peak of her career.
Wang Taika pushed the shopping cart, and Ji Eun walked beside him. The two strolled slowly between the shelves like an ordinary couple.

"These ribs look good. Shall we buy them to make soup?" Wang Taika picked up a box of ribs.

Ji-eun leaned over to take a look and shook her head: "Too fat."

Wang Taika laughed and said, "What do you know? To make a good soup, you need some fat."

"Anyway, I don't drink fatty drinks." Ji-eun pouted.

"A picky eater."

"Mind your own business! Shut up."

Even so, Ji-eun still put the box of ribs into her shopping cart. She might not like it herself, but Wang Tai-ka did, so that was fine.

In the vegetable section, Ji-eun picked up a cabbage, looked it over from left to right, and then handed it to Wang Taika: "Take a look and see if it's fresh."

Wang Taika took the cabbage, tapped it dramatically, and said in a serious tone, "Judging from the sound, this one is good."

Ji-eun chuckled, her eyes crinkling as she laughed: "You're still the same."

“What do you mean by ‘still the same’?” Wang Taika raised an eyebrow. “Besides, don’t you ask that every single time? How childish! This is called professionalism, you know?”

"What professional stuff? You're just talking nonsense." Ji-eun snatched the cabbage and put it back in its place: "Anyway, you're wrong, so hurry up and apologize."

"No, why should I apologize?"

"If you don't apologize, there won't be a Ji-eun-chan anymore. You choose."

"I was wrong." Wang Taika almost forgot that Ji-eun was very good at making excuses.

She bought some other things too: beef, tofu, mushrooms, and high-calorie snacks that Ji-eun had secretly taken. Wang Taika saw this, didn't say anything, but just slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

As they passed the fresh produce section, a little child ran over and almost bumped into Ji-eun. Wang Taika reacted quickly, pulling her to his side and avoiding a collision.

The child was pulled away by his mother, apologizing repeatedly. Ji-eun shook her head and said it was okay, then looked up at Wang Taika and found that he was still holding her hand.

This feels so good.

Wang Taika said with a hint of reproach, "You're just out for a stroll, why are you wearing high heels?"

“Yeah, I hate high heels the most.” Ji-eun tilted her head and looked at Wang Taika: “But you like them, don’t you? We finally did something together, so I’ll give you a little sexy perk.”

Wang Taika laughed ridiculously: "That's it? Where's the perk?"

Ji-eun pretended to drop a bag of snacks on the ground, then squatted down to pick it up. Although she wasn't wearing a skirt, her posture was still elegant. While half-squatting, the heel of her high heel slipped off, revealing her white heel. The reason it was so white was because she was wearing white stockings.
Well, I have to say, it's kind of strangely sexy, isn't it?
It is precisely this feeling of being coy and veiled that makes people's hearts itch with curiosity.

Ji-eun stood up, lowered her head, and her ears turned slightly red. Even for someone she liked, doing this in public still made her a little shy.

"Terrorist, I... I never imagined that I would become like this for someone."

Amidst her shame, Ji-eun felt a strange sense of melancholy. It was as if she was watching herself fall into depravity, yet finding pleasure in it.

If my past self knew what I was doing now, I would definitely find it disgusting.

Wang Taika put his arm around Ji-eun's waist, his heart pounding. He thought they were an old married couple, but this flutter in his heart seemed to have never disappeared.

Damn, I love Ji-eun so much! Holy crap, how can she be so cute and sexy? I'm about to explode with love for her!

Wang Taika couldn't help but say, "Jie-eun, do you know what you look like right now?"

"What?" Ji-eun looked up at Wang Taika, looking adorably bewildered.

“Like a kitten that’s stolen some fish, pretending it didn’t do anything.” Wang Taika lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “But actually you did a lot.”

Ji-eun bit her lip and weakly pushed Wang Taika away: "Terrorist, although I really want you to shut up, what you said makes me happy, and I'm inexplicably a little embarrassed, but I am really happy. So you can say it, but! Can't you just say it secretly when you get back?"

"What did I say?" Wang Taika suppressed a laugh, looking completely innocent. "I said you stole snacks. What were you thinking?" "You!"

Ji-eun glared at Wang Taika, her cheeks puffed out in anger, like an angry pufferfish. But she couldn't refute him, because what Wang Taika was talking about was indeed snacks.

This person is so wicked.

But when has he ever stopped being bad?

Ji-eun stomped her high heels angrily, turned around and left, her hair swaying behind her.

Wang Taika pushed the shopping cart and followed her, watching her sullen back as he laughed even more unrestrainedly.

After walking a few steps, Ji-eun suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Wang Taika: "What are you laughing at?"

“I’ve always loved to laugh,” Wang Taika said.

Ji-eun pursed her lips, trying to feign anger, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. This was probably Wang Taika's special ability; she could never really get angry in front of him.

"I really want to go back to the first time we met, no, the second time we met." Ji-eun pouted, "I threw a whole box of cosmetics at your face without any hesitation."

Ji-eun turned her head and continued walking forward, but her pace slowed down noticeably as she waited for Wang Taika to catch up.

“Yeah, why were you so arrogant back then? Arrogance is a thing of the past, don’t you know?” Wang Taika pushed his bike to her side, and the two walked side by side, their shoulders occasionally touching.

Passing by the fruit section, Ji-eun suddenly stopped and looked at a box of strawberries.

"Want some?" Wang Taika asked.

Ji-eun nodded, then shook her head: "Strawberries are a bit expensive this season."

"Hiss! You're targeting me? You're a big star, my goodness, how many villas do you own?" Wang Taika said, both amused and exasperated.

"What did you say earlier? Let me think, in Chinese." Ji-eun thought for a moment and said haltingly in Chinese, "Should we live? Should we spend?"

"This kind of speech should be saved, and the money should be spent," Wang Taika laughed. "One thing at a time, right?"

Ji-eun shook her head: "No. What I mean is, since we're shopping at the supermarket together, let's just talk like two ordinary office workers. Otherwise, you'll always be talking nonsense."

In fact, Wang Taika could understand that what Ji-eun meant was that she wanted, at least for a moment, to feel that the two of them were just two ordinary people, an ordinary couple, living an ordinary life, loving each other and living an ordinary life.

This kind of ordinariness is not the kind of life that celebrities and the rich experience from a superior position.

It's more like two students who were dating, fantasizing about a possible future. Even in the tiring routine of a nine-to-five job, there are people genuinely and passionately hoping for something.

Wang Taika glanced at Zhi En Jiang and immediately put five boxes into his shopping cart.

"What are you doing?" Ji-eun glared at Wang Taika. It wasn't like she couldn't afford it, but Wang Taika's behavior was ruining the atmosphere.

Wang Taika whispered in Ji Eun-chan's ear, "Eat without worry, I got a bonus today."

Hey! You know what, the sense of immersion suddenly came back, and it's even stronger than before!
Ji-eun looked at Wang Taika with love, affection, and admiration in her eyes.

No matter what, IU really likes terrorists like this!

Only terrorists can always know what she wants to express and what she desires. They can satisfy all her rambling thoughts for the rest of her life with the simplest words or the most absurd methods.

As expected of you, you damned terrorist!
"Well," Ji-eun wanted to continue acting, but her joyful mood made her unable to hold back her smile, and she kept laughing.

Wang Taika revealed a smug expression: "How about that, pretty impressive, right? Next time I get my bonus, I'll buy you some nice clothes."

Ji-eun suppressed a laugh and said, "Then shouldn't I reward you tonight? After all, that's the right thing to do."

Wang Taika was mischievous: "Don't you know that saying? 'A kiss between husband and wife after marriage can cause nightmares for several nights in a row!'"

"Ha!" Ji-eun-chan made a ridiculous face and said fiercely, "Then do you even know where the bonuses come from? When you were at work, your boss would come to visit your house quite often!"

"Holy crap!" Wang Taika was absolutely furious: "Jie Eun-chan, are all your plots this explosive?"

Even Ji-eun couldn't hold back anymore, and started laughing while holding the shopping cart and looking down.

It's been such a long, long, long time since I've been this happy! (End of Chapter)
