Chapitre 37: Tantrum in the Supermarket
Xi Long felt like laughing out loud when he saw her reject all of the food. The more she spoke the more adorable she became in front of him. When she had first started rejecting the rice he believed her but by the third one he could tell that she was just rejecting it for the sake of rejecting it. His heart was warm as he watched her rant to him. There was something about today and the way she was acting that made him believe that they had gotten closer. Only a little bit but closer. She had subconsciously started to lower her defenses and felt more comfortable expressing herself to him. Even now as she was throwing a little tantrum in the supermarket she was allowing him in closer to her. By acting childish and pouting her delicious lips at him what could he do other than indulge her?
"Okay okay. So you don't like anything? Anything at all?"
"No. I want something without everything!"
Xi Long's eyebrows furrowed as he heard her answer. How was he to make her the dish without anything? Does he make it out of air? Did it look like he was the Avatar?
"Oh...what a shame since I was planning on making a dish that needed those ingredients."
"Well you better think of something else then."
"You see I really needed them since it would match the fried chicken I was planning on making but sigh I guess I could think of something else."
"...did you say fried chicken?" Ying Yue's face slightly twitched as she spoke the words 'fried chicken.'
"Mhmm yes. Unfortunately you don't agree, don't worry I'll change the dish." With that he began pushing the cart away to head towards another section. As he was nearing the end he heard the sounds of quick rushed steps behind him before something was thrown into the shopping cart. Looking at the object he realized a bag of basmati rice had been thrown in unceremoniously.
"Well since you put so much effort into thinking of this dish then I shall be kind enough to let you make it."
Xi Long's lips twitched as he watched her performance of acting as though she had not just rejected everything in the store. Biting his lip to control his laughter he continued looking at her adorable expression till the tips of her ears were red.
"What? Why are we not going to get the next thing, I'm very hungry." Patting her head a warm smile graced his face as his eyes twinkled with indulgence.
"Mhm, let's go." With that they spent the next 30 minutes picking up the ingredients and spices he would need to make the dish. Ying Yue had silently tagged along and helped him place everything in the cart. As they cashed out she had tried to pay for the items but Xi Long had stole away her wallet and paid with his. It was her first time having someone pay for her without wanting anything in return. This didn't mean that she would always let him pay, when he wasn't looking she would slip the money back into his jacket. She was secretly excited as they neared her apartment. The image of a juicy fried chicken made her salivate and her tummy began rumbling in anticipation.
Parking in front of her apartment, Xi Long and her grabbed the grocery bags and headed towards her room
"Stay outside for a second." Slipping inside she quickly turned off the security system before opening the door and letting him. They started unloading the groceries and she watched as he began rolling his sleeves. The veins on his arms bulged as his shoulders clenched. Her eyes watched as he confidently strove around the kitchen, cleaning ingredients and skillfully cutting them. It was attractive to see him cook, he looked like someone who had a chef but he didn't blink before doing anything. You could tell that he was used to this so much that he didn't need the recipe anymore.
As he started throwing stuff into a pan his phone rang from his suit jacket.
"Kitten can you get that and put it on speaker?"
"Sure." Picking it up and swiping the phone she put the call on speaker.
Before he could ask who it was a loud voice screamed out from inside - "HONEEYYYYY."
Ying Yue almost dropped when she heard the noise, honey???? Who the FUCK is your honey?!
