Chapter 255: Thumping Ferociously
“No, I want to go with you,” Changqing said as she started taking off her face mask.
Song Chuyi was at his wit’s end. He held her hand as they walked towards the supermarket and he asked, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll get recognized?”
“So be it,” Changqing said. “I’m still so young. It doesn’t matter if someone says I have a boyfriend or that I got married; it’s not like I’m having a secret affair.”
Song Chuyi’s eyes darkened. He let go of her hand that he was holding and instead, put his arm around her as they walked in.
He wasn’t wrong. The supermarket was the most crowded during vacation periods. Song Chuyi wanted to walk towards the vegetable section but Changqing pulled him towards the snack section.
In the end, he allowed her to buy a bunch of high-calorie food. Song Chuyi sighed as he watched her. “Look at you—you were still complaining about gaining weight earlier, yet tonight, you’re going to eat so many snacks. Your calorie intake will definitely be high again, so you must exercise. I’ll exercise with you tonight.”
“What kind of exercise?” Changqing saw that he was so serious and really believed he was talking about purely exercising.
“Riding,” Song Chuyi said with a serious face. “And you must be the one riding me. That way, you can slim down your waist and burn a lot of calories.”
Changqing pinched his waist as her face reddened. Indeed, here they were again. “Which man always thoughts about being ridden by a woman? I can’t stand you.”
She rolled her eyes with a pout.
Song Chuyi thought carefully. “Although the view up there isn’t bad, I feel that the view from below is actually better.”
Changqing blinked with bewilderment. After she understood what he meant, her ears were already red.
This man... had once again reached a new level of being a wolf in sheep’s skin.
“Pervert.” She scolded him angrily. She couldn’t talk with him normally at all.
After buying the snacks, the two walked to the fruit section. Changqing chose a few lemons, kiwis and cherries.
Song Chuyi was very satisfied, looking at the fruit. No wonder his wife was so sweet and delicate every day—it was because the fruit she ate were so full of nutrients. “It’s good to eat more kiwis. Kiwis are rich in vitamin C.”
“I usually eat one every day. Can you take care of buying all my kiwis in the future?” Changqing said coquettishly.
“I’ll take care of it for all my life.” Song Chuyi smiled as he held her hand and walked to the meat and vegetable sections.
The vegetables he picked were mainly Changqing’s favorites. Of course, their groceries were mostly meat, but it couldn’t be helped. His woman liked to eat meat.
After selecting their groceries, there were already many people in the queue—more than ten in every queue.
Changqing’s face fell the moment she saw that. Song Chuyi told her to go back to the car first while he lined up.
Changqing waited for half an hour in the car before seeing him walking over with a bag of groceries in each hand. For some reason, the moment she saw that scene, Changqing’s heart melted. It seemed as though her heart was thumping more ferociously than ever before.
She felt that Song Chuchu looking like this was even more handsome than the usual Song Chuchu.
Even if he wasn’t carrying paper bags of expensive international brands in his hands and was just carrying normal plastic supermarket bags, he looked more down to earth than the typical aloof Song Chuchu. At the same time, it made him look more ordinary.
But she liked this ordinary Song Chuchu even more.
The Song Chuchu who would stand in front of a meat stall telling the owner that he wanted to buy a certain amount of spare ribs that Changqing liked to eat.
The Song Chuchu who would stand in front of the freezer to pick each and every kiwi meticulously for her.
The Song Chuchu who would walk silently behind her while pushing the grocery cart.
The Song Chuchu who would stand in the cashier queue silently squeezing into the crowd.
Every side of him like this was very mesmerizing.
Seeing her sitting obediently in the passenger’s seat, it seemed like she wanted him to drive. After putting the groceries into the backseat, he got into the driver’s seat. In the dark carpark, his woman was staring at him with her large eyes without saying a word. Her eyes were bright and pretty.
“What’s wrong?” He buckled his seatbelt.
“Let’s not get groceries at this time anymore. There are so many people and it’s so hard to queue.” Changqing pouted her little mouth. “You had to line up for so long.”
“It’s because you were waiting too long in the car, right?” Song Chuyi laughed. “But I have to work and I’m usually free at this time.”
“It’s not because I waited for long; my heart aches for you, alright?” Changqing let it slip out of her mouth. Immediately after saying that, she looked somewhere else shyly.
Song Chuyi was stunned. He deepened his gaze on her.
The silence in the air made Changqing’s face and body heat up unnaturally. She moved her lips. “What I meant was...”
“Actually, I kind of like grocery shopping like this and I also feel that there’s nothing bad about queuing like this. Aren’t all normal couples like this?” Song Chuyi suddenly said.
“... Mm.” Changqing couldn’t help but turn her head and look at his eyes that were as gentle as water and felt as though she was shocked for a while. She lowered her head immediately. “Then in the future... if I’m free, I’ll come grocery shopping with you.”
Song Chuyi replied with “Mm” and started the car engine as they made their way back to Lakeview Residence.
He chose this apartment initially because it was close to the hospital and supermarket.
However, after seven to eight minutes of being in the car, after they got home, all that was on Changqing’s mind were the words he said over the phone during the afternoon break.
Finished, finished. Could they really be in the living room tonight doing...
What should she do, what should she do?
Song Chuyi opened the apartment door and walked in. When he saw his woman standing still outside, he couldn’t help but remind her, “Aren’t you coming in?”
“Oh.” Changqing took her time going in and the first thing she saw was her slippers. However, they were cotton and made her feet hot when she wore them, so she would rather not wear them since the floor was clean.
Song Chuyi put down the things in his hands and looked at her small feet. He beckoned her over. “Changqing, come here.”
“Why?” Changqing turned her head back and saw his gaze was so focused that it seemed like there was a fire burning within.
She felt a fire rising within her whole body from the soles of her feet as though she sensed something. “That...”
“I’ve wanted to kiss you since we were at the supermarket carpark,” Song Chuyi said with a low and hoarse voice as he hugged her.
He already wanted to kiss her when she said her heart ached for him.
Changqing lowered her head shyly as she tried to shun him.
Actually, she wanted a kiss at that time too. She always felt that Song Chuchu, when he looked like that, was too mesmerizing.
So the two of them had the same thought.
Song Chuyi looked at her little face that was looking more like a red apple and, just like a big bad wolf that saw a little rabbit, he wanted to kiss her.
Changqing lowered her head until it almost reached his neck and her face was so red that her blush about reached her neck. Her ears were also pinkish. She pushed his chest with all her might. “Don’t want to. I... I’m not used to it. The couch works too...”
Finished. Would he misunderstand and think she liked it on the couch?
Actually, she didn’t. She really didn’t.
His big palm moving on her body suddenly stopped. She raised her head silently and saw the smile hidden within his eyes as though he saw through her.
She covered her face shyly.
Song Chuyi planted a kiss on the back of her hand passionately while he pulled her into his embrace with the other hand. “You like it on the couch...?”
“I don’t.” She retaliated agitatedly. However, she felt as though she couldn’t clear her name.
She was very pure in the past but was led astray by him.
She stared at him angrily.
How embarrassing.
“Alright. If you’re tired, lie down for a while. I’ll cook.” Song Chuyi walked to the cupboard energetically to take out a set of home clothing to put on and went to the kitchen.
The sky outside had already turned dark without them realizing it. The light in the bedroom wasn’t switched on either. A faint ray of amber light from the living room shone out.
Changqing stared blankly at the ray of light as she spaced out for a while.
There wasn’t a single moment that made her feel like this was her new home like now.
Perhaps it was because they always stayed at the Yan Household and it was the first time they were alone outside after lovemaking. It felt remarkable.
Outside, there was a man whom she liked and also liked making dinner for her.
An inexplicable sense of warmth and happiness enveloped her.
Changqing spaced out for a while before climbing up and seeing the black shirt that Song Chuchu folded at the side. She put it on mischievously. The shirt ended around her thighs. It was very loose-fitting and on the shirt, other than the scent of his detergent, there was also a familiar scent of manliness.
She felt it wasn’t bad, so she ran out wearing it.
Song Chuyi was cutting chillis with an apron on. She sneaked over barefooted without making a sound because she wanted to give him a scare. She put her face right in front of his and made an ugly face.
He looked lightly at her and said calmly, “Why are you wearing my shirt?”
“I just wanted to wear it.” Changqing was devastated. “Why aren’t you shocked at all? Did you know I was here?”
“Yeah, your scent is so strong.” Song Chuyi curled the corners of his mouth lightly.
“I didn’t apply any perfume.” Changqing sniffed herself hard. “Why can’t I smell anything?”
“Sometimes, a person’s nose is numb to their own scent,” Song Chuyi said with a smile. “Everyone has their own scent. I should have one too; it’s just that I can’t smell it.”
“Then is my smell good?” Changqing asked charmingly with an adoring face.
He looked at her and a smile seeped out from his face. “Yes.”
Changqing hugged him from behind happily. “You smell good too.”
Song Chuyi’s hand, which was holding onto the knife, paused a little and he could feel that his lower abdomen, which was just satisfied, was suddenly surging with warmth again. He coughed softly. “Changqing, go play in the living room; I need to cut the vegetables. Otherwise, why don’t you wash the fruit?”
“Oh. I’ll wash the fruit then.” Changqing picked some cherries to wash.
Song Chuyi glanced at her occasionally while washing the pot. He noticed that she was starting to eat them after she ran the cherries under the water once then she proceeded to take the fruit platter. He assumed she was done with the washing.
His face fell. “You must wash fruit several times. How can they be clean after washing them once?”
Changqing pouted and could only wash the fruit twice obediently.
Song Chuyi watched her from his peripheral vision and felt satisfied. His wife was too lazy. He had to keep a watch on her constantly.
After washing the cherries, Changqing fed him two before taking a knife out to cut the kiwis.
“What are you doing?” Song Chuyi felt uneasy watching her.
“I’m very experienced at eating these kinds of kiwis. Leave me alone.” Changqing cut the kiwis into two before peeling the thin layer of skin away skillfully and putting the cleanly-cut kiwis to his mouth to feed him.
Song Chuyi opened his mouth and took a bite. The kiwis were hard but sour and sweet at the same time. They didn’t taste bad.
“It’s good, right?” Changqing was self-satisfied.
“Mm. Go eat it outside.” Song Chuyi was now in a mess, looking for garlic anxiously.
