My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

His past life experiences have instilled in him an instinctive wariness of people.

No matter who it is, he will act like a wounded cub, staring at anyone who gets close to him with bloodshot eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll stay here too long, take advantage of you, and then leave without a word?"

Lin Jiu stared at Wang Yuting, waiting for her answer.

When he asked that question, he was already prepared to lose everything again.

Perhaps indulging in fleeting happiness would be a good choice, but Lin Jiu doesn't need such a fake.

Rather than investing all your emotions only to be met with heartbreaking betrayal, it's better to break up from the start.

Wang Yuting blinked and asked in return, "Can you?"

People always change.

Lin Jiu was unsure of what the future held for her.

Just as he never imagined when he was a child that a happy family could fall apart so easily.

“That makes sense, I agree.” Wang Yuting nodded and said earnestly, “People will definitely change, so whether it’s for the better or occasionally for the worse… as long as we can stay together, that’s fine. You have to keep an eye on me, okay? You’re so cute, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist making a move on you.”

Wang Yuting rubbed Lin Jiu's cheeks; the feel was so comfortable that she couldn't bear to let go.

Lin Jiu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she helplessly relaxed her shoulders.

"...I'm really defeated by you."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Wang Yuting was so focused on kneading Lin Jiu's face that she didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing! Hurry up and go buy things! How much longer do you want me to stay out here dressed like this?!"

"That's right, we can do this at home. Let's go buy things first."

Wang Yuting then put down her hands that were kneading Lin Jiu's cheeks, and instead placed her hands in front of Lin Jiu.

She treated her like an injured wildcat, with her palm facing upwards to show that she meant no harm.

Lin Jiu raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew it.

At this moment, Wang Yuting took his hand in her own.

"Let's go!"

Chapter 18 My cabinet moved, I'm not playing anymore.

select.

pick one of two.

This is something that is inevitable on the path of life.

Lin Jiu was now faced with a difficult choice.

The supermarket on the left has the advantage of ample stock—it basically has everything—at low prices. The disadvantages are that the lighting is too bright, it's too crowded, and the supermarket staff have incredibly sharp eyes, making the risk of social death extremely high.

The convenience store on the right has the advantage of being less crowded; the staff working the night shift won't be as motivated, so you can probably finish your shopping smoothly and leave with your daily necessities. The downside is that the convenience store's products are mostly brand-name, overpriced, and more flashy than practical. If you choose the convenience store, tomorrow's breakfast will be of lower quality; you'll only be able to buy bread and milk.

Wang Yuting gave Lin Jiu the choice; he could choose whichever he wanted, and she would just pay for it.

This is the power of a rich woman.

Throw away the tile!

Even if Lin Jiu chose the convenience store, she could have a sandwich and milk for breakfast tomorrow. Wang Yuting still felt a little guilty; after all, she was the one who tricked Lin Jiu into dressing up as a woman and going out. One should have some conscience. Having already witnessed Lin Jiu's adorable side, Wang Yuting was content.

Do you have any food preferences that you're picky about?

After hesitating for a while, Lin Jiu seemed to resign herself to her fate and took Wang Yuting's hand, walking towards the supermarket.

Wang Yuting smiled. She had originally thought Lin Jiu would choose to go to the convenience store, but she didn't expect him to be willing to compromise to this extent.

I don't really like eating eggplant.

Are you allergic to eggplant?

No, not at all.

Wang Yuting shook her head, her expression somewhat complicated, and whispered, "I used to like eating eggplant, but after I cooked it myself once, my stomach hurt afterward. Since then, I've never eaten eggplant again. I'm done with the kitchen, I'm not playing anymore."

"I see..." Lin Jiu nodded thoughtfully. "I've decided, I'll buy eggplants tonight."

"Hey hey hey, no way—"

Wang Yuting's complaint had no effect.

Lin Jiu was confident in his cooking skills; he wouldn't indulge Wang Yuting. Eggplant was delicious and nutritious, containing protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.

the most important is……

The B vitamins contained in eggplant can also have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on dysmenorrhea, chronic gastritis, and edema caused by nephritis.

For girls, eating eggplant occasionally is good for their health.

It's absolutely not that Lin Jiu is petty and wants to get a little revenge on her, absolutely not.

Okay, he did have that idea.

Just a little bit.

A tiny fraction.

"Well……"

As Lin Jiu entered the supermarket, half of the courage she had finally mustered vanished instantly, and her walking speed slowed down.

There are so many people.

The lights are very bright.

The cashier seemed to have begun her hunt.

Pedestrians passing by the supermarket entrance glanced at her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, making Lin Jiu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Binbin, that girl is super hot!"

"Then go and strike up a conversation."

"No, can you ask her for her WeChat instead?"

"Why should I go? Go by yourself. I'm going back to play Bubble Fighter."

Passersby jostled past, not forgetting to turn their heads to steal a glance at Lin Jiu's legs.

The burgundy knitted dress reached just above the knee, revealing long, slender, fair legs exposed to the air in the most alluring way, without any silk fabric covering them. The slightly fleshy thighs made hearts race even faster.

Only children think that the thinner the legs, the better, completely unaware that beautiful legs have a strict fat ratio. Adding a bit makes you look fat, and subtracting a bit makes you look thin. Only a gentleman who has kept a low profile for many years can tell at a glance what truly beautiful legs are.

Ah Wei is such a gentleman.

With his sharp eye, he could see everything at a glance.

Her thighs were full and rounded, her calves were straight and flawless, and her skin was as white as deep snow—perfect in every way. Her delicate, petite feet looked even more adorable in the ill-fitting indoor slippers, truly exquisite.

"Binbin, I think I've fallen in love with her at first sight."

"Stop fooling around, Brother Jie said he's treating tonight, let's go."

"Go ahead, but remember to bring the wine."

Lin Jiu had no idea that he had just been targeted. He was so nervous that his whole body was hot, and his skin was flushed with a faint red, making him look like a ripe fruit that made people want to take a bite.

He did wear women's clothes when he was a child, but the situation is different now, completely different!

He never went out without a vacuum when he was a child!

Even if there were, it was something from when I was a child!

"found it!"

Lin Jiu looked around the supermarket entrance before finally finding the shopping basket. He quickly picked it up with both hands and placed it in front of him, which made him feel much more at ease. At least there was something to cover the barely visible bulge so that no one would notice.

Lin Jiu finally felt a little more confident.

We absolutely must not let anyone find out!

If someone finds out he's wearing women's clothes and no panties here, his life is over!!

"Shall I get it for you?"

Wang Yuting instinctively wanted to help Lin Jiu with the basket.

"No need! Leave it to me!" Lin Jiu quickly refused.

"How about we go to the snack section first?" Wang Yuting suggested.

Lin Jiu glanced at her and cautioned, "Eating too many snacks is bad for your health. Don't buy too many."

"I know~"

Wang Yuting deliberately drew out her voice, her childlike manner making her incredibly cute, which made Lin Jiu smile involuntarily.

Lin Jiu looked up at the dazzling array of goods and asked, "What's the total budget for tonight?"

Wang Yuting said confidently, "As long as you feel it's necessary, don't worry about it, it will all be reimbursed."

"No, even if we're financially independent, we still need to consider whether the two of us can bring them back..."

"It's alright, I have plenty of strength!"

Wang Yuting showed off her slender arms, and it was unclear where she got her confidence from.

Lin Jiu smiled and slowly raised her head.

Time seemed to stand still.

Lin Jiu pushed open the door to Wang Yuting's house, and a warm atmosphere rushed in, enveloping him. He raised his hand, and a notebook with cute patterns appeared in his hand. No pen was needed; the words "Shopping List" automatically appeared on it.

Although Wang Yuting wasn't good at cooking, her kitchen was equipped with a complete set of high-end kitchen utensils... the kind of high-end that Lin Jiu couldn't even imagine the price of, especially the knives, which were so good that he was reluctant to cut radishes. The seasonings were also basically unused; some of the packaging was still new, but judging from the expiration dates, there shouldn't be any problems, most likely sent by Wang Yuting's family.

There's basically nothing left in the kitchen that needs replenishing, but we can use the ingredients to make some of our signature dishes.

Lin Jiu thought to herself and marked "Fish-flavored Eggplant", "Braised Eggplant in Oil", and "Red-braised Eggplant" in her notebook.
