Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Bed Is a Bit Small (3) Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Bed Is a Bit Small (3) “Uh…” She flipped through her cash, only having a little over two hundred.
She was used to grabbing her purse and heading out to shop, never considering the issue of encountering something she couldn’t afford to pay for in cash.
“Sorry, I forgot to bring my card. I don’t have enough cash either, so I’ll just buy a portion and see what I can leave behind.”
The cashier was a bit impatient and glanced at her with disdain.
Although their store, due to its high prices, had an especially low customer flow, they still didn’t want to waste time on her.
Picking and choosing what to buy.
Over twelve hundred, with the pajamas’ price taking up the majority, naturally they were the first item to be discarded.
Just as Lu Wanwan was about to take them out, suddenly a card was tossed over from behind her.
The person behind her lowered their voice, sounding as if it were muffled by a blanket, “Pay for everything.”
She turned around in surprise, and the man behind her was dressed in a baseball shirt, wearing a cap, casually attired, except he also wore a large black mask covering his face, which basically only left his eyes visible.
Had she just come across a Good Samaritan?
But she didn’t know the person, and since she couldn’t pay the money back, she couldn’t possibly bring someone home just to repay them.
Before she could politely refuse, the man spoke in an extremely low voice, “How’s work been lately?”
Lu Wanwan took another look and was startled as she finally recognized him.
Bai Lingyun slowly shook his head.
The cashier scanned his items along with hers and processed the payment together, his attitude improving considerably.
Without another word, they both walked out of the supermarket with their things.
The cashier watched the two figures suspiciously, speaking to a colleague at the next counter, “Why do I feel like that person looks familiar?”
“You’re really bold, showing up to browse the supermarket in person,” Lu Wanwan admired, “That takes guts.”
Bai Lingyun looked down, “I’m human too; going to the supermarket is pretty normal. Plus, many things, I don’t like others doing for me.”
“Aren’t you worried about being recognized?”
“Yes,” he said, a trace of helplessness in his striking eyes, “But generally, if I give an autograph and the other party keeps quiet, it’s all fine. I don’t frequent places that are too crowded.”
“Thanks for earlier, I forgot my card. I’ll definitely repay you next time, or you can tell me your card number, and I can transfer it to you when I get back, okay?”
“I don’t remember the card number. Just pay me back in cash next time.”
“Okay, have you finished shooting your new film?”
“Not yet, I came back because of some issues, going back tomorrow to make up for it. Probably will return at the end of the month,” Bai Lingyun walked slowly, not too fast, “I’ll find you at the end of the month to repay the money.”
“…” She appreciated his directness, not resorting to pointless pleasantries, preventing the back and forth, “You’re leaving tomorrow, must be busy. I should head back now, and you should make a quick retreat before you’re discovered.”
Bai Lingyun smiled leisurely, “You haven’t answered me yet, how’s work been recently.”
The mention of work made Lu Wanwan’s head hurt, “It’s a long story.”
“If you don’t want to do it, just quit.”
“Huh?” She was about to leave when his suggestion caught her by surprise.
After parting ways with Bai Lingyun, she sighed; quitting her job was not so easy.
Thinking of the man sick at home, she quickened her pace.
Gu Annan didn’t sleep long and rubbed his groggy temples.
His gaze swept around the room, and this time he truly didn’t spot Lu Wanwan’s figure.
He immediately grabbed his phone and called her.
The “doot” sound and the ringtone rang out simultaneously; he immediately followed the noise and saw her phone was left on the table, clearly not with her.
Not knowing where this woman had run off to, she had actually left him, a sick person, here all alone.
