-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
In her previous life, Su Rui was swamped with work before she was hospitalised. And even when she went to the supermarket, she had only bought things that she had to use. This time, Su Rui truly experienced a joy that a single dog[1] cannot experience when shopping in a supermarket with Gu Yu Cheng.
At least now, she didn’t have to worry about being indecisive anymore.
When she sees something that she likes and can’t decide, she would simply just buy both colours since it is for two people.
Su Rui asked, “Do you want to buy more loungewear and pyjamas?”
She wasn’t sure if Gu Yu Cheng had brought them over to the apartment. Anyway, Su Rui had given up on the princess-styled loungewear that her mother had prepared for her at home.
Hearing Su Rui’s question and looking at the many couples’ or family-friendly pyjamas hanging in front of him, Gu Yu Cheng didn’t hesitate to nod his head, “Buy.”
“Then which style do you want?”
“You choose.”
Su Rui smiled and looked around the racks very seriously.
Su Rui took the dark blue, simple looking loungewear. Then, she turned to Gu Yu Cheng and questioned, “What about this set?”
“Sure.”
“I think it is suitable too.” Su Rui said as she held the loungewear up in front of Gu Yu Cheng and nodded her head.
In the next second, Su Rui’s eyes suddenly lit up when she caught a glimpse at another set of pyjamas on the other side of the shelf.
“How about that set over there?” Su Rui fluttered her eyes and smiled as she pointed at the set of pyjamas over there.
The other set of loungewear is similar in design to the set that Su Rui is holding. The only difference was that this set did not match the adjectives “mature” and “low profile” at all.
There were patterns of monkey print and English letters all over the entire outfit, making the set look very… lively?
In fact, after seeing Gu Yu Cheng’s usual mature and introverted appearance, Su Rui was quite curious about what this man would look like when he changed into this kind of light-hearted and amusing style of clothes.
Following the direction of Su Rui’s finger, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyebrows raised slightly as he saw that set of loungewear.
He turned his head towards Su Rui and noticed the anticipation in her happy gaze and the slightest hint of teasing, the corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth couldn’t help but curved into a smile.
Gu Yu Cheng responded, “Sure.” He added, “If you like it, buy them.”
“I like it.”
“Buy it.” Gu Yu Cheng said with a smile.
Without waiting for Gu Yu Cheng’s kiss, Su Rui had already pulled away and went over to the shop assistant to help her find the size she needed.
Gu Yu Cheng followed behind her, stopped Su Rui and asked, “Do you know my size?”
“Of course.”
After digging a small ‘pit’ for Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui ended up buying a set of pink money loungewear that is the same as Gu Yu Cheng, in order to ‘suffer the pain together’.
“What else…” Su Rui was about to ask Gu Yu Cheng about what they had missed out.
Su Rui turned her head and found that particular person was looking at a small sexy set of women’s nightwear displayed not far away.
A little pink silk dress with black lace trim and a largely negligible dressing gown.
“That seems about it. Let’s go down and buy the rest.” Su Rui said and quickly pulled Gu Yu Cheng downstairs.
Su Rui has pulled up a list of items required in the daily necessities section at home, so it wasn’t too much trouble to find them.
However, there were exceptions.
“What’s this?” Su Rui asked subconsciously.
Gu Yu Cheng had already answered before Su Rui could look at the bottles and jars together with the row of product names underneath the large brand logos, “Shaving foam.”
After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng placed an arm around Su Rui’s waist from the back and took a few bottles from the shelf with the other. He opened the lids and brought them near Su Rui with some distance.
“Which one?”
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s questions, Su Rui also slightly moved closer and took a sniff.
The first one had a bit of a cool and minty scent.
The second one was a bit like an air freshener. Is this… lemon?
Su Rui slightly creased her brows.
The smell of the third smelled very faint and a tinge of tea.
“This one.” Su Rui said as she pointed to the last bottle.
“Alright.” Gu Yu Cheng put the other two bottles back.
“Is there anything else we need beside that?” Su Rui asked.
“There is.”
“Do you want to buy potato chips?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as he thought of Su Rui’s “special affection” for potato chips.
“Potato chips?” Su Rui’s eyes sparkled when she heard Gu Yu Cheng’s question.
“Oh, forget it. I don’t want to buy them.” Su Rui frowned and said rather regretfully.
“You don’t like it anymore?”
“No, I still have to control my weight.”
It was true that the potato chips were delicious, but it was also true that they were high in calories.
Before the engagement party, she felt that she could lose another 3 jin (1.8kg/ 3.97pounds)!
Hearing Su Rui’s response, Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows.
“Don’t starve yourself.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
……
When they were about to foot the bill, Su Rui saw Gu Yu Cheng standing in front of a row of shelves and was a little surprised.
Turning her head slightly, she saw the rows of colourful square boxes in front of Gu Yu Cheng…
This great invention in the history of mankind was created for the prevention of diseases and contraception.
Even if Su Rui had never used it, she could at least read the words, right?
She saw Gu Yu Cheng carefully scanning the shelves. He even took two boxes and read the product specification and instructions on the boxes very carefully before putting one of the boxes into the shopping basket.
Su Rui’s face heated up and she turned her away in silence.
However, at this time, the female shop attendant even came up and said very enthusiastically, “We are having a Christmas Eve promotion, all condoms are buy two, get two free.”
……
Only until Gu Yu Cheng left with three more boxes, did the female shop assistant standing by the shelves suddenly come into a realisation and widened her eyes.
These two people just now, they couldn’t be…
