Chapter 201 - I don’t know, I can’t tell.” (2) (1/2)

The group of people wearing thick down jackets, hats and masks entered the supermarket. Fortunately, everyone was dressed in this way during the cooling days, so they were not conspicuous. Moreover, the supermarket was crowded and everyone was pushing a full shopping cart, no one would notice what the people passing by looked like.

Yu Qinghuan wheeled a shopping cart to Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Xin respectively, while he and Huo Qu used the same cart and pushed it hard into the crowd.

“I regret to come, Qinghuan,” Zhao Qingyuan, holding a large box of cherries, panted heavily. He put those cherries into the shopping cart and nearly collapsed. “There are too many people, and I think my ribs are going to be crushed.”

“I have almost done.” Yu Qinghuan glanced at his shopping cart and asked him, “What else do you want?”

Yu Qinghuan was the major buyer today, but in the end, Zhao Qingyuan bought more than he did.

Sea urchin biscuits, durian multilayer cakes, truffle chocolates… He bought all kinds of snacks… Anyone who did not know him would think the shopping cart was for an eight-year-old boy.

“No,” Zhao Qingyuan motioned with his hand, pushed the cart and hurried to the cashier, “Let’s check out quickly.”

The checkout line was long and most people were chatting.

While Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Qinghuan dared not to speak at this time, for fear of being recognized. Being idle, they could only lower their heads to play with their mobile phones.

There were too many people here. Huo Qu felt a little uncomfortable and had been holding Yu Qinghuan’s hand tightly.

Yu Qinghuan felt distressed and self-blame. He raised his hand to arrange Huo Qu’s forehead hair and asked, “Do you want the driver to take you home first?”

Huo Qu shook his head, rubbing Qinghuan’s fingers with his side face, “I’ll be with you.”

“Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Not very, I can endure.”

Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan was much relieved since Huo Qu would not lie. What he said was literally.

Just as he was going to let Huo Qu drink some water, a girl’s angry voice sounded in his ear, “New year? Fuck off! We’re done! I don’t care you never pay when we’re shopping together. How could you only buy a box of kiwi fruits to my home with each one in it the smallest? Am I so worthless?”

Yu Qinghuan looked toward the speaker. The man being scolded flushed. He noticed the scornful sights from all directions and even lowered his head. He kept coaxing the girl in a low voice, but the girl ignored him and walked away.

In desperation, the man followed the girl away despondently.

While everyone in the supermarket was talking about this interlude, Yu Qinghuan’s group reached the front.

Yu Qinghuan pulled Yu Xin and Zhao Qingyuan’s cart to the front, too, “Settled the bill together.”

The two men didn’t refuse, they nodded and accepted his kindness.

They bought too many things. When all the goods were scanned price, Yu Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out his cell phone. Just as he was about to pay, one arm suddenly crossed in front of him.

“Huo Qu?”

“Let me pay.” Huo Qu’s lips pressed tightly and he took out his cell phone like Yu Qinghuan.

Was he stimulated by the quarrelling couple just now?
