Jingxia Rose

Chapter 188 [Shi Yi 038] Just bear with it.

There's a small shopping mall nearby, but it has everything you need. It's four floors long and has everything you could want.

Shi Wan is usually very busy. When she has free time, she just wants to lie down. She can't even remember the last time she went shopping for daily necessities.

The two went to the fourth floor first to look at his razor.

Yi Xu is quick and decisive when it comes to buying things. If she sees something that looks good and has strong functions, she buys it without hesitation. Later, when she went to the third floor to pick out pajamas, she found two sets of couple's pajamas.

The women's version is a beige spaghetti strap dress, and the men's version is a gray shirt and trousers.

Once they received the right sizes for both of them, Yi Xu bought them without hesitation.

The shaving and pajamas took only about ten minutes in total.

It took a while to get to the second floor and the first floor where there were daily necessities, fruits and vegetables.

After seeing him casually pick up a toothbrush and two towels, Shi Wan then prepared to choose two matching mouthwash cups and two pairs of matching slippers.

"You really like buying matching couple items?" she couldn't help but ask, "Is this a habit you picked up from your ex-girlfriends?"

“I’ve never bought one,” Yi Xu said solemnly. “Besides… I don’t really like having other people’s houses open overnight.”

"You never even lived together?"

"No."

Shi Wan looked at him with disbelief, "Then why did you decide to stay overnight at my house? And you often sleep with me until dawn."

"You are the exception."

Shi Wan's heart was probably made of reinforced concrete; she wasn't moved by his four words and remained somewhat incredulous. "So before, you and they would just... finish and leave?"

"..."

"Do you really want to discuss this with me?"

"I'm curious, aren't I?"

"Curious my foot! Who in their right mind would be curious about their boyfriend's behavior like that?"

"Me? I'm genuinely curious, aren't I?" Shi Wan declared confidently.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Wow, Yi Xu, you're such a scumbag!"

"That's enough, you can shut up now!" Yi Xu warned her.

Shi Wan still wouldn't back down and continued to ask, "So, during the time we were friends with benefits, you didn't leave at night, and you didn't book another room!"

"You dare bring that up again? I considered you my girlfriend!"

"Didn't you just say that you never slept with your ex-girlfriends before?"

"Can't you hear a single word I say? What happened to the phrase 'you're the exception'?"

"Oh, so during the time with my friends with benefits..."

"Try mentioning the word 'friends with benefits' again!"

"..."

"Hey, those slippers over there are pretty cute, let's go take a look." Shi Wan changed the subject without batting an eye, and walked over without looking to either side.

Yi Xu took a deep breath!

When this woman is being unreasonable and irrational, she can really drive you crazy!
Of course he knew she was doing it on purpose, and that's exactly what made him so angry!

I always have to piss him off before I'm happy, and then I just walk away.

That's so cheeky!
Yi Xu walked over with a stern face and pinched her waist hard. "You're dead tonight!"

Shi Wan glanced back at him, pretending not to hear, and held up the two pairs of slippers in her hand. "How are they? Cute, aren't they?"

"childish!"

"Yeah, childish is just right, it suits you perfectly! These are the ones."

Yi Xu was speechless. "You're not buying it?"

"I'm not buying it. Besides, it's you who's naive, not me."

"Hiss... Shi Wanwan!"

Shi Wan raised an eyebrow. He had only used this reduplicated form of address a few times when they were intimate and affectionate.

She looked away. "I have three pairs of slippers at home. I'm not a centipede, why would I buy so many?" Shi Wan turned and walked away. "But... I can buy a mouthwash cup. Mine is almost four months old and needs to be replaced."

"This is ugly too." Yi Xu looked at the bear-shaped mouthwash cup in her hand and commented seriously, "You have such good taste in clothes and accessories, why is your taste in these little trinkets so bad?"

Shi Wan wasn't angry at all, and smiled, "Isn't this to match you? You're ugly and childish, but you're just right. I can only make do with this."

"..." It's one thing to be childish, but to say he's ugly?

Can you bear it?

Oh, he thinks he can endure it.

I'll just have to bear with it.

Yi Xu tossed the mouthwash cup in her hand into the shopping cart without expression and walked towards the escalator without saying a word.

Shi Wan watched his sullen back and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, then cheerfully followed after him.

Once on the first floor, Shi Wan selected some snacks and a few kinds of fruit. When it was time to pay, Yi Xu casually grabbed six boxes of BYT from the shopping shelf and took all the T-shirts of that size.

Shi Wan's expression froze.

When she felt eyes about to fall on her from all directions, she quietly looked away and very consciously left the group.

"Where?"

As luck would have it, Yi Xu grabbed her wrist.

Now, everyone's eyes are on her.

Even someone as carefree as Shi Wan felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable seeing so many eyes shifting from BYT to her.

Her ears turned red, and she gritted her teeth, "I'll wait for you outside!"

After saying that, she broke free from his hand, turned around, and left.

Looking at her blood-red earlobes, Yi Xu felt the tightness in his chest instantly dissipate.

He calmly accepted the gazes of so many eyes, casually scanned the QR code to pay, and then went out to find her with his things.

But after scanning left and right twice, I couldn't see her. Could she have hidden in the car?
It shouldn’t be!

He still has the car keys with him.

Or are you leaving now?

Whoops!

Surely not, this woman!

Speaking of which, her impression on him had always been that she was rational and clear-headed, strong and decisive, and only occasionally, when she was deeply moved, would she show that shy and demure side.

In fact, most of the time, even when the two are intimate, she is assertive and on equal footing with him.

She doesn't seem very willing to lose.

He found the red ears strangely cute.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would have teased her to let her vent all the frustration she had just suffered.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to call her, Shi Wan walked over with a two-tone ice cream cone. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where's mine?"

“There!” Shi Wan pointed to the dessert window of KFC.

It means they didn't buy it at all; they bought it themselves if they wanted to eat it!

"Is this how you treat me?"

"I haven't even said anything to you yet! What are you doing with so many Ts?"

"Use it!" Yi Xu said matter-of-factly. "At least one box tonight."

Shi Wan was shocked. "Are you crazy?!"

Yi Xu clicked his tongue. "How can you talk like that? If you can't speak properly, shut your mouth!"

Shi Wan wanted to shove the ice cream in her hand directly into his face.

But it costs tens of yuan.

Not worth it.

"Did you just have morning sickness?"

"Do you think everyone has the same thick skin as you? In front of so many people, you didn't see the look that old lady behind me gave me, as if to say, 'This girl is pretty tough.'"

"Hahahaha, that's pretty impressive."

Yi Xu smiled broadly and nodded.

Shi Wan kicked him angrily, "If you can't speak properly, shut your mouth right now!"

“If you can’t close it, I suggest you use something else to plug it,” Yi Xu said. “Like… this.”

After saying that, he took a bite of the ice cream in Shi Wan's hand.
