68: Chapter 69 Accidental Situation (5) 68: Chapter 69 Accidental Situation (5) “Wow, that man is so handsome!”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice chimed in from beside them.
The two turned around and saw two college students shopping nearby.
One of them, a plumper girl, exclaimed, “Don’t you think he looks a lot like…
like some kind of celebrity?”
Yu Zexiao was instantly startled.
When he had been staring at her, he hadn’t noticed that his hoodie’s hood had slowly slipped off, revealing his stunningly handsome face.
Fortunately, he had his bangs down over his eyes and was wearing a pair of large black-framed glasses.
The college students didn’t recognize him straight away.
Yu Zexiao immediately stood up straight, pulled on his hood, and zipped up.
Jian Anning didn’t have time to choose anymore, and the two of them disappeared in front of the counter almost as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Behind them, the two female college students were still slow to realize and said, “That guy just now did look a lot like Yu Zexiao.”
Her friend laughed, “How is that possible?
Why would Yu Zexiao come to the supermarket to shop?
Moreover, coming with a woman?
— But why did he leave, though?”
“Could it be—” They looked at each other, both astonished.
On this side, Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning had crossed several shelves and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure they hadn’t caused a big commotion.
What started as a leisurely supermarket trip had turned into a series of events, leaving not only Yu Zexiao disheartened but also Jian Anning somewhat shell-shocked.
Looking at Yu Zexiao again, his face seemed darker, his mood shifting rapidly from sunny to cloudy, more upset than the time she almost bought “testosterone-boosting food.”
Jian Anning sighed inwardly.
This time, however, she didn’t mock his unpredictable temperament but rather felt sorry for Yu Zexiao.
As a celebrity, though glamorous on camera, surrounded by hordes of fans, and idolized in their every move, their sacrifices were also much greater than those of ordinary people.
If he dated a few girlfriends, he would be plagued by scandals and labelled as “fickle-hearted” and “unfaithful.” If he remained single, malicious speculation would label him as “gay.” Ordinary people can casually go to the supermarket, walk the streets, shop, and frolic in amusement parks.
Yu Zexiao, on the other hand, had to be fully disguised and sneak around.
Being discovered meant he had to desperately flee.
The more famous he became, the lonelier he felt.
The loneliness worsened his temper, and a bad temper drove people away, leaving fewer and fewer by his side.
In the end, his world consisted of just himself.
The last time she accidentally overheard an argument between him and his father.
Although she caught just bits and pieces, his father didn’t seem to be a very understanding person, right?
Perhaps it was the family environment that led to his temperamental nature?
Thinking of this, her mood calmed slightly.
Looking at Yu Zexiao’s face, she felt more understanding and less resentment.
Not daring to return to the fresh food area, Jian Anning went first to the household goods section to buy laundry powder, disinfectant, and the like.
Later, when she saw no one around, she quickly bought a few boxes of meat, then retreated as stealthily as a thief.
Yu Zexiao followed her closely all the way.
When it came time to pay, he was fully guarded, his head down, just like a criminal.
