Besides sweet food, Cen Jin also has a fondness for fruit. So when the auntie handed it over, she smiled as she took it and said, "Thank you." The crisp and sweet taste instantly made Cen Jin’s brows relax, and she nodded in satisfaction, "Mm, so sweet."
Speaking of which, she poked another piece of Hami melon from the tasting box the auntie was holding, and instinctively turned her head to offer the Hami melon in front of him, eagerly wanting to share, but forgetting that the toothpick was the one she had just used: "Jiang Baizhou, try it, it’s really good and also very crisp."
Jiang Baizhou squinted at the Hami melon she handed over, his narrow eyes slightly narrowing. He looked deeply at her face full of smiles, lowered his head slightly, his cool lips parted, and he bit off the Hami melon from the toothpick, seemingly inadvertently sliding across it, his expression languid as he chewed, casually commenting, "Mm, it’s okay."
The slap in the face came so quickly.
Actually, Jiang Baizhou is naturally a picky person, doesn’t love sweet food, and also has his own standards for eating fruit, so it really isn’t easy to hear him praise a kind of food.
Cen Jin still didn’t notice those details, threw the toothpick in her hand into a small trash can beside her, and smiled lightly at the sales auntie, "Then I’d trouble the auntie to pick one for me!"
The sales auntie agreed cheerfully and carefully picked one for her. Cen Jin originally wanted to take it, but a long arm suddenly stretched over, caught the Hami melon the auntie handed over, and placed it directly in the shopping cart. Cen Jin looked up and heard him say, "What other fruits do you want to buy?"
"Grapes." Cen Jin replied instinctively without thinking.
"Over there." Jiang Baizhou glanced over, gesturing with his eyes, and pushed the shopping cart over.
Cen Jin immediately followed, picked a bunch of very delicate-looking grapes to put into the shopping cart, then selected a small bunch of bananas, pulled the front of the cart towards the weighing area, weighed each of the three fruits and put them back in the cart, then turned and said, "Let’s go! Didn’t you want to buy soy sauce?"
"Let’s get all of yours first, so you won’t forget." Jiang Baizhou pushed the cart with a bit of force towards another side, dragging along Cen Jin who was holding the cart.
Cen Jin was speechless. She couldn’t find a way to refute his jab. Overall, she had a good memory, but when she was about to do a certain thing, she often forgot the next thing she needed to do, especially when she was quite tired or busy.
She had been running around all day for fabric matters, basking in the scorching sun, and was indeed somewhat exhausted now. Had she not met Jiang Baizhou who suggested going to the supermarket, she would have almost forgotten about Ms. Qin’s message on WeChat asking her to bring some items this afternoon.
Ms. Qin owns her own bakery, operating every day from nine thirty in the morning to ten at night, and with the tidying up, she gets back after eleven. The store, including Ms. Qin, only has four people, so shopping is always Cen Jin’s responsibility.
Once Cen Jin had selected all the items she needed, Jiang Baizhou went to the living area to pick up a bottle of soy sauce, pushed the cart to the checkout counter, and before the cashier could say the price, Jiang Baizhou had already displayed the payment QR code from his phone. Seeing that Cen Jin was about to speak, he spoke first, "I’ll handle it, you wait for me outside."
