My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Boys must take good care of themselves when they go out!

Chapter 58 Househusband 4K

"Something's not right."

As Lin Jiu headed to the Walmart supermarket, she noticed a significant increase in the number of people in the Mingyuexuan residential area. They didn't seem to be residents, nor did they appear to be ordinary passersby.

These people have a clear objective and move in unison.

He didn't look directly at these people, but instead glanced at them briefly out of the corner of his eye or while moving his body.

Before the other person noticed her gaze, Lin Jiu looked away and continued swaying her limbs, like an old man strolling around after a meal. But from someone else's perspective, she looked like a lively young girl.

Lin Jiu strolled slowly toward the supermarket, flipping through the Book of Memories in her mind as she did so.

Three men and one woman were present, all dressed in casual sportswear, with well-built physiques and clear signs of physical activity. Two of the men were wearing wireless headphones and appeared to be listening to music, but their lip movements suggested more casual conversation than humming. The remaining man sat in a chair playing on his phone, occasionally glancing up. The only woman stood at the convenience store entrance, seemingly waiting for someone, her gaze naturally sweeping around.

Everyone has their own place in the world, and everyone is standing in the direction of the four main gates of Mingyue Pavilion.

There are noticeably more security guards in the community now, patrolling in pairs along the paths instead of spending all day in the guard booth playing on their phones and slacking off.

Lin Jiu pondered for a moment and had a vague idea, but he didn't express it directly.

Go with the flow.

If these people do anything suspicious, he will call the police.

Lin Jiu hadn't forgotten Uncle Ning Yuan's instructions: he could disregard his own safety, but he couldn't bring danger to those around him. Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't matter; although Lin Jiu wasn't tall, he could hold up the sky for one person.

"Today's special offers..."

Lin Jiu strolled through the supermarket with a shopping basket, adding items that were reasonably priced and of guaranteed freshness. His plan was to first select discounted items, decide what to cook based on the ingredients, and prepare them for tomorrow. He would then buy some better quality items to store in the refrigerator and cook them the day after. This way, he wouldn't have to go to the supermarket every day and could save some money.

This is the difference between having confidence in your cooking skills and not. People who have just moved out usually think about what kind of dishes they want to cook before buying the corresponding ingredients. Sometimes buying too much or too little can lead to waste or not having enough to eat.

Lin Jiu was confident that he could turn it into a delicious dish and win over Wang Yuting's stomach.

As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

Ok?

Something feels off.

"Lin Jiu?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Lin Jiu thought for a moment, this is probably the third time, right?

I asked him about the book fee last Friday, and again this morning I asked him what he was doing. This is the third time now.

Lin Jiu was getting used to Ning Yueyao calling his name from behind.

"...Class monitor."

Lin Jiu turned around in confusion and saw Ning Yueyao standing there with her eyes wide open.

Ning Yueyao's gaze was so intense it seemed to want to burn Lin Jiu, her eyes filled with astonishment as she stared at him.

Lin Jiu had been wondering what was so interesting about it, until he looked down and realized he was wearing women's clothing.

That's fine.

"Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Lin Jiu lowered her head slightly, intending to run away.

"No, didn't you just call me class monitor? ... You still can't remember my name!" Ning Yueyao's eyes widened, feeling a sense of existential doubt. She clearly thought the name her parents gave her was very nice.

We were classmates for three years, and I still can't remember their names.

Is there no love left?

"I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."

“I saw you wearing a red dress shopping at the supermarket with an older woman last Saturday.”

"What brings you here, squad leader?"

Lin Jiu gave up struggling.

To be honest, he completely forgot he was wearing women's clothing and didn't hesitate at all when he went out.

Is this what they mean by "habit becomes second nature"...? How terrifying!

Compared to the last time she wore a skirt out, Lin Jiu was much more natural this time. She wasn't as afraid of other people's gazes and could even accept the admiring looks in their eyes with ease. However, this didn't mean that Lin Jiu could remain calm when she met her classmates. Despite her nonchalant appearance, she was actually extremely nervous inside.

"...Do I need a reason to greet my classmates?" Ning Yueyao asked rhetorically.

“We definitely don’t need that.” Lin Jiu nodded in agreement, carrying the shopping basket in both hands and flashing a bright smile. “Hello, class monitor. Goodbye, class monitor.”

"Come back, come back, I'm not some monster."

"Squad leader, just say what's on your mind. I'm in a hurry to buy groceries."

"I……"

Ning Yueyao finally managed to keep Lin Jiu with her.

She looked at Lin Jiu, took a deep breath, and lowered her head.

"sorry."

"...Huh?"

Lin Jiu was a little confused.

People around them looked on curiously; those who didn't know better might have thought the two sisters were arguing.

"Why are you apologizing?" Lin Jiu quickly helped her up, saying helplessly, "Get up, there are many people watching."

Ning Yueyao raised her head and looked directly at Lin Jiu, saying earnestly, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I was wrong. If I hadn't been so careless back then, you wouldn't have gotten into a fight and suffered so much injustice. I feel very guilty, and I hope you can forgive me. I'm sorry."

"...Is that all?"

Lin Jiu scratched his head; to be honest, he didn't take it to heart at all.

It's more accurate to say that he didn't care about the other person at all... This might sound harsh, but it's true.

Rather than remembering things that annoyed her, Lin Jiu preferred to remember things that made her happy. For example, Ning Yueyao hadn't lied because she was oppressed by power, but instead truthfully recounted what had happened and even defended Lin Jiu.

"Did you know that dish soap is on sale today, limited to one bottle per person?" Lin Jiu asked.

"Eh?"

Ning Yueyao shook her head blankly.

"We're running out of dish soap, and I wanted to buy another bottle to have on hand, but the special offer only allows one bottle per person." Lin Jiu's tone was tinged with regret as he looked at Ning Yueyao's face.

Ning Yueyao was stunned for a moment before she finally understood Lin Jiu's unspoken meaning.

"Then I'll buy a bottle too!"

"Great! I almost thought you were a bookworm with no emotional intelligence whatsoever."

Are you praising me or insulting me?

"At first it was praise, now it's criticism."

Lin Jiu shrugged, but did not directly respond to the question of whether he would forgive or not.

After all, there was nothing for him to apologize for. He wasn't a petty person, and he wouldn't hold a grudge overnight.

Ning Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief. After apologizing, people feel a sense of relief regardless of whether the other person accepts it. She had been upset all afternoon and hadn't eaten yet, thinking she'd come down to buy something to eat and get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lin Jiu, and in one go, she blurted out her thoughts, feeling she had to get them out.

The worst thing for an honest person like this is to procrastinate and procrastinate until it's all forgotten, and then regret it every night before bed.

Ning Yueyao followed Lin Jiu toward the discount section. When she put the dish soap into her shopping basket, Lin Jiu finally smiled gently, her lips curving slightly.

Ning Yueyao stared in disbelief for a moment, then murmured, "Lin, are you really a boy?"

"What, you want to try it?"

Lin Jiu rolled her eyes at her.

How do we test it?

Ning Yueyao suddenly felt a little eager to try.

This made Lin Jiu feel like she was bullying a child with intellectual disabilities. Had this girl grown up in a greenhouse? She didn't even know what dirty jokes were. What if she actually tried it? That's why young people these days can't just read textbooks; they also need to read more books and newspapers, eat less junk food, and go to bed early.

"Listen carefully, if any boy tells you that his cat can do backflips and wants to take you to see it... you absolutely cannot go, understand?" Lin Jiu said, tidying up the items piled in her shopping basket, giving her advice like an elder.

I have a feeling this girl is easily fooled by scumbags.

"Oh……"

Ning Yueyao didn't understand what Lin Jiu meant, but she still silently wrote it down.

—Don't just go to a boy's house to watch his cat do a backflip.

"Are you planning to buy a late-night snack?" Lin Jiu glanced at the other person's basket and found that it contained packaged cooked food, vegetable salad, and some snacks.

"This is dinner."

"It's already very late."

"...I was in a bad mood and had no appetite before, but I feel much better now."

Ning Yueyao let out a breath, and as soon as she relaxed, she immediately felt hungry.

"It's best not to add salad dressing when eating vegetable salads. Supermarket salad dressings are actually made by mixing a lot of cooking oil with a small amount of vegetable juice, and adding a little minced garlic for seasoning. Many people think that eating vegetable salads and potato salads can help them lose weight, so they add salad dressing and Thousand Island dressing to them like they're free. As a result, they end up gaining weight and are more prone to developing high cholesterol."

Lin Jiu glanced at the vegetable salad in her basket, then pointed to the yogurt on the shelf and suggested, "This yogurt has a rich flavor; it might be too sweet on its own, but it balances the taste when paired with vegetables and fruits. I personally recommend you try it. Of course, if you only eat it occasionally, you can continue using salad dressing."

Ning Yueyao stared at Lin Jiu in disbelief. She took two steps forward, took the yogurt down, and carefully memorized the brand.

As she put the yogurt into the shopping basket, she asked curiously, "How do you know so much?"

"To work."

Lin Jiu tricked countless girls who wanted to lose weight in order to promote yogurt at the convenience store. No, how can that be called trickery? It was clearly for their health, and incidentally, just to increase the convenience store's revenue.

This is a win-win situation.

"Hey...you're still doing part-time work?" Ning Yueyao asked curiously.
