The supermarket always has a magical power. When you first walk in, you plan to only buy what you need, but in the end, besides those items, you’ll inexplicably end up with so things that were never on your shopping list.
Take now, for instance, Jiayu and Mu Ke just wanted to buy ingredients for lunch, but in the end, they bought a whole four bags of stuff.
Pushing the cart out of the supermarket, Mu Ke naturally picked up the four bags and started walking after putting the cart in its designated spot.
Jiayu chased after him, "Let carry so, it’s too heavy."
Mu Ke glanced at her, suddenly put the bags on the ground. Jiayu thought he was going to hand her sothing, reached out to take it, but saw Mu Ke stretch one of the bag handles a bit bigger, then bent down and hung it around his neck.
Jiayu stared at him utterly bewildered, and then saw Mu Ke naturally hold the remaining three bags in one hand, freeing the other to hold hers.
"Let’s go."
Jiayu snapped out of her daze, looking at Mu Ke and trying to hold back her laughter, "Let carry so."
Mu Ke had already started walking forward holding her hand, "I’ll carry the bags, you carry ."
Jiayu: "..."
Mu Ke looked at Jiayu with a slight smile on his lips, as if to say: Got a problem with that?
No problem, no problem, you’re the man, you call the shots.
Though seriously, this is all kinds of problematic, alright?
Actually, those four bags, although they looked many, weren’t very heavy. Yet Mu Ke’s current appearance was ridiculously amusing anyway.
A tall, slender man with a shopping bag hanging around his neck and holding three big bags in one hand—it could only be him. If it were soone else, who knows how awkward they’d be, but he strolled as though nothing was amiss, utterly unbothered by how funny he looked.
Jiayu couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore, cracking a smile as she quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of Mu Ke in profile before she knew it. Being close, she couldn’t capture his whole body, and the picture ended up showing just his handso profile and the shopping bag on his chest.
Mu Ke glanced at her sideways without saying a word, seeing Jiayu’s eyes crinkled with laughter, his eyes too seed to twinkle with a hint of amusent.
Once back in the apartnt, Jiayu sat on the sofa and posted the picture she just took on her Monts. She had two WeChat accounts, one for work and one personal, the personal one not having many friends, and she rarely posted there.
After posting on Monts, Jiayu tossed her phone aside and got up to go to the kitchen. Of course, she wasn’t going to help but just wanted to watch Mu Ke cook.
She liked watching him cook, orderly, with every move being gracefully unhurried.
Two people shopping together, then coming back ho to cook a al together—these simple and beautiful situations she once dread of are finally coming true now.
Even though the person isn’t who she once wished for, everything now seems better.
Jiayu realized that when she’s with Mu Ke, though she often thinks of the past, she’s more inclined to compare the present with the past, rather than dwell on soone from before.
In other words, when Mu Ke is around, she hardly ever thinks of Xin Ke. It... should be a good thing, right?
Leaning against the kitchen door fra watching for a while, Jiayu returned to the living room, picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and instantly got a shock.
