"Jiang Che...did you buy too much?"

She cautiously tugged at Jiang Che's sleeve: "I only need a simple set of toiletries, those cheap towels that cost just a few dollars will do just fine..."

"Those cheap towels are just bath towels. If you use them on your delicate skin and scrub it raw, who's responsible?"

Jiang Che adopted a strategy of ignoring her theories on thrift and managing a household. Right after she finished speaking, he casually picked up a pair of fluffy pink bunny slippers and held them up to her feet.

"Didn't I tell you? You're mine now, there's no need for you to use cheap stuff. If word gets out, it'll be embarrassing for me."

Su Qinghe was rendered speechless by his domineering and twisted logic.

What does "yours" even mean...? Why does that sound so embarrassing and makes my heart race?

She lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and stopped talking, letting Jiang Che continue his crazy "spending spree".

After buying daily necessities, Jiang Che pushed the cart to the snack section.

Now it was truly his domain. Potato chips, cola, jelly, chocolate... anything he liked to eat, or anything he thought a young girl like Su Qinghe would like to eat, he swept into the car.

"These lime-flavored potato chips are good, and I'll also give you two bags of the tomato-flavored ones."

"What's this? Popping candy? I haven't had it in years, I'll get a couple of bags to reminisce."

He knows that eating too many snacks is bad for his health and will make him gain weight, but these things are just too tempting and keep tempting him to buy them.

However, the mention of gaining weight did remind Jiang Che of something.

He turned his head and carefully looked Su Qinghe up and down.

The little girl is now so thin she looks like a paper doll. Her wrists are so thin that he could wrap his arm around her with his hand and there would still be room to spare. It feels like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Even if she gained another 20 pounds, he still wouldn't think it was enough, given her current physique.

So the food was not bought for him to eat, but for Su Qinghe to gain weight.

Jiang Che successfully convinced himself and even amused himself, unable to hold back his laughter.

Su Qinghe turned to look at him, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about when I can fatten you up nicely and plump."

Before Su Qinghe could even feel touched, she heard Jiang Che say, "When I take him out, I'll brag to my buddies that I'm a top-notch pig farmer."

"You're the pig..." Su Qinghe muttered in dissatisfaction.

Just as the two were strolling along in a pleasant atmosphere, the aisle ahead suddenly became crowded.

It seemed to be some kind of special offer on sale, and a group of elderly people were scrambling around, grabbing the items enthusiastically, blocking half the road.

Jiang Che frowned and stopped walking. "There are a lot of people ahead. Hold on tight to me."

Su Qinghe immediately obeyed and moved closer to him, holding his arm tightly with both hands, and followed him step by step.

Even so, a small accident still occurred when passing through the crowd.

An older woman, having just snapped up some discounted eggs, turned around in such a hurry that she didn't watch where she was going and her shopping cart came crashing straight into Su Qinghe's side.

Su Qinghe couldn't see, she could only feel a strong wind approaching, and by the time she realized what was happening and tried to dodge, it was too late.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Che subconsciously released the shopping cart, stretched out his long arm, and pulled Su Qinghe into his arms. At the same time, he turned to the side and used his back to block the shopping cart from crashing into him.

"boom--"

The shopping cart full of items slammed into Jiang Che's calf, causing him to groan in pain and his brows to furrow instantly.

The impact was quite severe, and given the hard metal frame of the shopping cart, a bruise immediately formed on his calf.

Although Su Qinghe couldn't see what was happening, she heard Jiang Che gasp in pain and realized he must be injured, so she immediately panicked.

"Jiang Che! How are you? Are you hurt?"

She frantically groped his body with both hands, trying to find out where he was injured, but she couldn't find the wound for a long time. She was so anxious that she almost cried.

"I'm fine, I won't die."

Jiang Che gritted his teeth and tried to ease the pain. He looked down at the little girl in his arms who was about to cry, and his anger flared up instantly.

He released Su Qinghe and turned to look at the old woman who had hit him.

The older woman was clearly startled by the sudden turn of events, but when she saw that it was a young man and that she didn't seem to be in any danger, her apprehension vanished instantly, and she put her hands on her hips and took the initiative to speak.

"Hey young man, how do you walk? Don't you have eyes? Don't you know a good dog doesn't block the way?"

Jiang Che laughed in exasperation. These days, you can find all sorts of people in a big forest. How can someone who hits someone be in the right?

He sneered, his aura suddenly becoming more oppressive. "Hey, ma'am, you were the one pushing your cart recklessly, you bumped into me without even an apology, and now you're blaming us for blocking your way?"

People gradually gathered around to watch the spectacle.

The older woman was startled by Jiang Che's imposing aura, and seeing his obviously expensive clothes, she felt a little intimidated, but she still refused to back down.

"Well... this road is already narrow, how am I supposed to get through with two grown men crammed in here?"

"Besides, this little girl isn't watching where she's going. She could have easily avoided it, but she didn't. Is she blind?"

"Blind? Who are you calling blind?"

Jiang Che's expression instantly turned extremely bad. He originally just wanted to argue with this old lady for a bit and get her to apologize, and that would be the end of it. He was too lazy to make a big deal out of it.

But this old woman shouldn't have brought up Su Qinghe's eyes.

He released Su Qinghe, shielding her slightly behind him, then took a step forward. His tall stature of 1.85 meters instantly overwhelmed the middle-aged woman with his imposing presence.

"You have the nerve to talk about her like that? Your eyes are so round, how come you can't even see two grown adults?"

Jiang Che spoke without any politeness, and his voice was quite loud, so the people around who were already watching the commotion could hear him even more clearly.

"This aisle is three meters wide, and you pushed your cart like a tank, bumping into someone and not only didn't apologize, but you even turned around and accused me of blocking the way?"

"What, do you own this supermarket? Or did you build this road all by yourself? How can you be so shameless? I ask you this?"

The older woman was stunned by Jiang Che's rapid-fire retorts, clearly not expecting this seemingly refined young man to be so quick-witted.

Feeling embarrassed, she stiffened her neck and started throwing a tantrum: "Oh my! These young people nowadays are really something! Bullying the old folks!"

"Everyone come and see! This young man bumped into this old man, and not only did he not apologize, he also swore at me! Is there no justice in this world?!"

The old woman sat down on the ground while yelling, slapping her thighs and wailing. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Jiang Che had done something to her.

Some bystanders who arrived later, unaware of the situation, started pointing and gossiping about Jiang Che when they saw this scene.

Jiang Che was both amused and annoyed. He was very familiar with this tactic; he had seen it many times online before. He never expected to encounter it in person today.

"Fine, you want to play it this way, right?"

Jiang Che remained calm, took out his phone and started recording the old lady. "Come on, keep acting, don't stop."

"I have millions of followers. I'll post you online later so everyone can admire your acting skills. Maybe you'll become famous tomorrow and even debut as an internet celebrity."
