Shen Jue looked at Rong Qingqing, who was trailing behind him like a little tagalong, and curled his lips, "Eat something."
Rong Qingqing made a sound of agreement and quickly replied, "There’s nothing to eat in the fridge, just some fruits. The peaches Nanny Zhao bought today are pretty sweet."
Rong Qingqing followed Shen Jue into the elevator, then downstairs, then followed him into the kitchen, watching as Shen Jue entered the pantry next to the kitchen and took out a box of fat-free cookies.
Rong Qingqing made a surprised noise and dashed in as well. When she came out, her hands were full of snacks.
The pantry door was a hidden one. When Rong Qingqing first came in, she thought it was just a decorative wall, never expecting it to be filled with snacks.
Rong Qingqing came out to see Shen Jue waiting for her in the living room, completely flustered and exasperated with joy.
She ran while the things in her arms kept falling, making her bend down to pick them up, and each time she bent down, things continued to drop.
Shen Jue, a few steps away, couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Rong Qingqing’s silly antics.
"Rong Qingqing, are you an idiot?" Shen Jue asked.
Rong Qingqing stomped her foot in frustration, walked toward Shen Jue, and dumped everything in her arms onto him, "Hold these for me first."
Whether Shen Jue agreed or not didn’t matter; she left them with him anyway and turned back to pick up the things on the ground.
Shen Jue could hardly believe that someone in this world could so shamelessly use him as a carrying tool.
He hesitated, pondering whether to dump everything on his knees onto the floor.
But when he looked back at Rong Qingqing’s joyous face, Shen Jue eventually decided against it.
"Great! Now we have something to eat tonight!" Rong Qingqing’s eyes sparkled with delight.
When she worked overtime through the night, she loved to snack while working.
Shen Jue clicked his tongue, "Aren’t you on a diet?"
"The snacks I picked are low-calorie. I calculated it; I’ll eat them, and then run for an hour at the gym tomorrow," Rong Qingqing chatted cheerfully with Shen Jue.
Until the system notified her that she had eighteen minutes left, Rong Qingqing’s expression suddenly changed.
The joy of finding snacks almost made her forget this matter.
"Damn system, can I shop online?"
"As long as it totals five yuan exactly, yes."
Shen Jue noticed Rong Qingqing’s change in expression. One moment she was smiling like the fool next door, the next, she looked serious.
"What’s wrong?" Shen Jue, for once, showed a rare moment of concern for Rong Qingqing.
Rong Qingqing shook her head, "I’ll tell you later."
After speaking, Rong Qingqing swiftly picked up her phone, opened the online shopping app, and typed in search keywords.
Five yuan free shipping.
The internet was fast, and a bunch of items quickly appeared.
Rong Qingqing clicked into several of them, but none totaled five yuan exactly; they were always a few cents over or under. After searching for a long time, she finally found one that met the condition.
Rong Qingqing finally laughed, then showed her phone to Shen Jue, pointing at the product with green grass growing on top and said, "Shen Jue, buy one of these for me, will you? It’s not expensive, only five yuan with free shipping!"
Shen Jue looked at the item with lush green on it, and his eye twitched a bit.
He had a feeling Rong Qingqing was implying something, hinting at the drama between Rong Jiaojiao and Shen Xingwei.
But after thinking about it, Shen Jue concluded that if he deserved the green grass atop his head, then Rong Qingqing and he were equally matched.
So, he figured he was probably overthinking it.
