Lin Xuechun listened to love songs the whole way.

I thought someone like Xi Chenzhou would either listen to niche songs or rock and heavy metal, but I didn't expect him to listen to love songs too.

It's still so sweet.

It's quite a contrast.

Lin Xuechun was a little curious, so she secretly glanced at him while listening to the song, only to be caught red-handed immediately.

Xi Chenzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he knew what she was thinking: "Just randomly picked songs."

Oh, so you just picked it randomly.

Lin Xuechun's expression was knowing.

"Isn't it nice to listen to?" Xi Chenzhou asked.

Jay Chou's "Simple Love" is playing in my headphones.

I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.

Can love be simple and without harm...?

Lin Xuechun really likes this song.

"It sounds nice," she said.

Sweet lyrics continued to flow through her headphones, teasing her eardrums. Even though she was just listening to music, the heat on her face wouldn't go down, so she pretended to turn her head to look out the window.

The street scene outside receded into the distance. She pursed her lips slightly, her petal-like fingers twirling a small lock of hair around her chest, her fingertips playing with the strands of hair.

Xi Chenzhou didn't change the playlist until he got off the bus.

……

The imported supermarket that Xi Chenzhou mentioned is located on the B1 floor of a high-end shopping mall.

Once inside the supermarket, Xi Chenzhou pushed a shopping cart.

Lin Xuechun was looking around curiously at the various exaggerated price tags on the supermarket when she felt someone touch the shoulder strap of her backpack.

She turned her head in confusion, and Xi Chenzhou slightly raised his chin: "You can put your backpack in the shopping cart."

"Oh." Lin Xuechun took off her backpack and put it in the shopping cart. Although her backpack wasn't heavy, her shoulders felt noticeably lighter after taking it off.

Xi Chenzhou pushed the cart, with Lin Xuechun on his right. The two walked and looked around.

After browsing through the fresh produce section, she asked Xi Chenzhou, "Have you decided what to eat?"

This time, Xi Chenzhou didn't say "anything is fine" and named two dishes.

The dishes sold here are all beautifully packaged, but the portions are small.

Lin Xuechun picked out the dishes he named one by one and put them in the shopping cart, then noticed, "It seems like they're all vegetarian, no meat. Do you eat fish? I can make steamed fish."

She had seen her mother make it before: marinate the fish, steam it, drizzle it with steamed fish soy sauce, and then pour hot oil over it.

It's quite simple.

"Okay." Xi Chenzhou nodded. "The fish are over there."

He pushed the cart to the seafood section, and Lin Xuechun followed.

After buying fish and various seasonings, Lin Xuechun passed through the dairy products section and saw many yogurts from brands she had never seen before; the packaging looked quite appealing.

She couldn't help but stop and stand there, picking up a box of yogurt with a strawberry design on the packaging to look at it.

It's imported from Greece, the ingredient list is very clean, I don't know how it tastes, and then I saw the price, this small box costs 32 yuan.

Forget it.

She had just put the box down when she saw Xi Chenzhou walk over, pick up the box she had put down, put it in the shopping cart, and also take a few more boxes.

Lin Xuechun: ? ? ?

Xi Chenzhou glanced at her and said casually, "I suddenly want to eat yogurt."

Lin Xuechun: "You like strawberry flavor too?"

"Is there a problem?"

No, no.

I just didn't realize that he, a grown man, loved strawberry-flavored yogurt.

It feels somewhat out of place.

Xi Chenzhou pushed the cart forward. Lin Xuechun saw the hygiene products section and remembered that she was out of tissues in her dorm room, so she decided to buy some to replenish them. "Wait a minute, I need to get something."

She walked to the shelf, which had many brands, and was looking for Kleenex's Hokkaido milk tissues.

Xi Chenzhou parked his shopping cart to the side and followed.

"What are you looking for?" He looked down at her; his height and long legs made him quite intimidating standing next to her.

Lin Xuechun, who was only shoulder-length to him, tilted her head slightly to meet his gaze: "It's a brand of Shu Jie tissues, but I didn't see it. Maybe this supermarket doesn't carry it?"

"Yes." Xi Chenzhou also likes that brand and has bought it at this supermarket.

He diligently helped her search.

"Young lady, young man, take a look at our paper products. Every 1kg of pulp contains a quarter of milk essence. We're having a promotion now, buy two packs and get a mystery gift!"

"Wow, you two look so good together, you're both so good-looking."

An auntie dressed as a sales promoter saw the two of them standing there looking for something and came over to enthusiastically promote her product.

These high-end supermarkets used to have very few sales promoters, but they've probably been impacted by the rise of new retail, and now they're all packed up.

When Lin Xuechun saw what the aunt was holding, she realized it was the milk paper she had been looking for, and immediately said, "Auntie, I'll take two."

"Hey! Okay, here you go, girl," the auntie said with a beaming smile, handing the two packs she was holding to Lin Xuechun and taking a small paper bag from the promotional cart behind her, which she then stuffed into her hand. "This is a free gift."

After speaking, she glanced at Xi Chenzhou beside her, then winked at Lin Xuechun.

After that, the aunt went to promote her product to other customers.

Lin Xuechun glanced at the small paper bag in her hand, which was sealed with a pink bow.

What's this gift?

Salespeople usually try to lure customers with free gifts, so why didn't this auntie mention it at all?

So mysterious.

Xi Chenzhou was also a little curious. He glanced at the paper bag and casually asked, "What free gift?"

Lin Xuechun opened the bag and peeked inside. There was a small, thin silver cardboard box. She took it out, held it in her palm, and looked at it. On the front were three numbers—001!

Below that are a few smaller words, such as "ultra-thin" and "fitted".

Realizing what she meant, Lin Xuechun's face flushed red. She quickly threw the box back into the paper bag and stuffed the entire bag into Xi Chenzhou's hands, saying, "Here, here you go."

She moved so fast that Xi Chenzhou didn't even get a good look at what the small silver box was before she threw it back into the bag.

Xi Chenzhou glanced at the bag, then looked up at her, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Why are you giving it to me?"

"You...you can use it." Lin Xuechun looked away, staring at a row of tissues on the shelf, her ears and neck flushed with a light pink.

Seeing her reaction, Xi Chenzhou suspiciously opened the bag and fished the thing out.

Upon seeing what it was, he remained quite calm, toying with the object in his palm while staring down at her flushed face, his tone nonchalant: "I don't need it either..."

Lin Xuechun's ears turned even redder, and she retorted softly, "I...I don't need it either..."

"Then what do you mean by giving me this?" He smiled slightly, looking at her casually.

"Since we don't need it, let's just return it..." Lin Xuechun bit her lip unconsciously as he looked at her, and reached into his palm, wanting to take it back.

Xi Chenzhou brought his fingers together, holding the thing in his palm, and raised his arm so she couldn't reach it. "I won't give it back. I'll keep the things you gave me safe and sound."

"Who asked you to keep it..." Lin Xuechun hurriedly stood on tiptoe to reach it, then belatedly realized that giving this to a boy did seem rather strange. "Hey~ give it back to me!"

Xi Chenzhou raised his hand again: "If you give it to me, it's mine."

"You don't need it!" Lin Xuechun jumped up, but his height advantage was there, and no matter how she jumped, she couldn't reach him. Her face was flushed with embarrassment and annoyance, and her lips opened and closed, red and luscious.

Xi Chenzhou looked down at her rosy cheeks and continued to tease her, "You don't need it when you're alone, but you can use it when there are two people."

"Ouch~! Give it back~" Lin Xuechun was so busy thrashing around that she didn't even realize that the two of them were almost touching.

As a result, when she jumped up and landed, she lost her footing, twisted her ankle, and fell into his arms.

She instinctively grabbed his shirt at the waist with both hands, and Xi Chenzhou reflexively put his other hand around her waist.

The two of them embraced each other intimately.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they hugged.

Lin Xuechun instinctively tilted her head back in his arms, while Xi Chenzhou lowered his neck.

His gaze fell on her rosy little face, her almond-shaped eyes were watery and wide open in shock, her little red lips parted to reveal a pair of pearly white teeth, the color of which was extremely beautiful.

One second, two seconds, the two of them seemed to forget to react, hugging and staring at each other, their hearts pounding in unison, as if invisible fireworks were exploding in the air.

"My goodness, these young people nowadays!"

"Tsk tsk, I was just saying this and that..."

It wasn't until an elderly man pushed a shopping cart by and saw what was happening that the two of them snapped out of their daze and slowly separated.

As I turned around, the other person brushed past me.

The man caught a glimpse of the small silver box in Xi Chenzhou's hand, and Lin Xuechun and Xi Chenzhou also noticed that the man had seen it.

When their eyes met, Lin Xuechun was so embarrassed that she turned away and buried her face in Xi Chenzhou's chest.

I can't see her, I can't see her.

Xi Chenzhou remained calm, casually putting the thing into his pocket, then with a cold and sharp look in his eyes, he swept it over the man.

The man wisely touched his nose, not daring to look any longer, and pushed his cart away.

"Did he leave?" Lin Xuechun nestled in his arms, her eyes closed, unable to face him.

"No." Xi Chenzhou glanced at the other person, but the figure had long since disappeared.

Lin Xuechun didn't dare to look up. It was one thing to play around in public, but to snatch a condom in public was simply too embarrassing.

She counted the time in his arms, "You haven't left yet?"

Xi Chenzhou: "No, they're still looking this way."

"Why are you still watching? How annoying..."

Xi Chenzhou glanced at the person in his arms, curled his lips, and echoed, "Yeah. Really annoying."

Lin Xuechun turned her face over onto his chest, her eyes still closed: "Why haven't they left yet? What's he doing there?"

Xi Chenzhou felt his heart burning as the soft, fluffy figure pressed against his chest, and his heart raced: "I don't know, I'm just standing here like an idiot."

After a while, Lin Xuechun sensed something was wrong and mustered up the courage to look for herself. Only then did Xi Chenzhou slowly utter two words: "Let's go."

"Phew, they're finally gone." Lin Xuechun breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up from his embrace.

Xi Chenzhou looked at her leisurely. When they met his gaze, Lin Xuechun recalled the scene from earlier and felt both shy and embarrassed. She pretended to look away, picked up her phone and glanced at it. "Oh dear, it's already past five o'clock. Let's go pay the bill."
