Chapter 401: 258. He tried to restrain himself but failed (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch, the big boss of memories! 5.6/8)_3

———

In a nearby large supermarket, two fully equipped guests arrived.

There weren’t many people in the supermarket at this time, as many office workers would still pick convenience stores for their dinner after work, so the supermarket was quite empty now.

As for fruits, they definitely weren’t very fresh at this time, but there were still plenty of apples and oranges available.

Because there weren’t many people around, and she was quite petite herself, Bae Juhyun just wore a cap that covered the top half of her face, leaving the bottom half and her tempting pink lips exposed.

Compared to Bae Juhyun’s ease and liveliness, Liu Xin’an who followed beside her had to be much more cautious.

He was practically hovering around Bae Juhyun with a frequency of looking back every three steps, fearing that some jerk might take out a phone and sneak a photo of them.

"Aiya, don’t worry that much, we won’t get exposed so easily, there’s hardly anyone on the roads."

"Better safe than sorry," Liu Xin’an muttered, still carefully scanning the surroundings.

Bae Juhyun stopped walking, annoyed, and kicked her boyfriend’s thigh lightly.

"Hey, you’re making it even weirder!"

No one had noticed them at first, but Liu Xin’an’s step-and-look-back routine now made him look very guilty.

Even if others weren’t curious, they could become quite curious because of Liu Xin’an’s weird actions.

What a lousy teammate!

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Then put on a mask," Liu Xin’an, seeing his real intention exposed.

"Alright, alright," Bae Juhyun, unable to out-argue him, complied by putting on the mask before continuing to walk around the fruit section while holding Liu Xin’an’s large hand.

They picked a few apples and some oranges. Bae Juhyun also wanted to grab a couple of pears, but Liu Xin’an stopped her.

With a puzzled blink of her bright eyes under her cap, Liu Xin’an noticed her confusion and whispered, "In our culture, pears symbolize separation, so a couple shouldn’t share them."

This really scared Bae Juhyun, who quickly put the pears back and looked disdainfully at the innocent fruit.

Great, her blacklist of foods just gained another entry.

This thing has such a terrifying implication? She’d have to look it up later.

Finally, after grabbing a small pomelo, Bae Juhyun’s shopping was satisfactorily completed.

Of course, she did the shopping, but naturally, Liu Xin’an had to carry the basket.

It wouldn’t be right for Liu Xin’an to let her carry heavy things, not that she minded, but could he really handle that?

Besides, she was holding Liu Xin’an’s hand, and wasn’t that much more important than any fruit?

What if she lost him?

However, as they headed toward the checkout area, Bae Juhyun naturally veered into the snack aisle.

Fortunately, Liu Xin’an was still rational.

Although he spoiled her, he wasn’t the type to indulge her without limits.

In terms of strength, even three Bae Juhyuns combined probably couldn’t match Liu Xin’an, so trying to pull him from his spot with her own strength wasn’t an easy task.

"Just one! I’ll just buy one!"

Bae Juhyun felt wronged too, after all, she was financially independent, so why did she have to consider others’ feelings when buying snacks?

"Think about it, how many days of nutritional meals do you have to eat for one bag of snacks."

"Hey! You were just saying you felt sorry for me and would make me a lunchbox, and now you’re threatening me with nutritional meals!"

Bae Juhyun unhappily punched the large hand holding hers, expressing her dissatisfaction strongly.

To this, Liu Xin’an paid no mind.

"No, you can’t have snacks, you’ll definitely blame me tomorrow for not stopping you if you eat them tonight."

He understood the principle of learning from past mistakes; he had previously failed to resist Bae Juhyun’s coquettish behavior, and the very next day, he was relentlessly complained at by her.

This time he would not be fooled again.

"I won’t, I promise."

"Really want them?"

"Just one bag, my dear~ one bag won’t cause any problems."

Seeing Bae Juhyun’s pitiful expression, Liu Xin’an eventually sighed.

He didn’t let go of Bae Juhyun’s hand, no matter what they faced in the future, he would never let go, so he just walked toward her.

"Only one bag."

"Hehe, you’re really nice."

"It’s only now that I am nice; usually, you’re always calling me ’Hey! Liu Xin’an’, someone who doesn’t know us might think my name is ’Hey Liu Xin’an.’"

Liu Xin’an’s sharp sarcasm made Bae Juhyun feel a bit embarrassed. Hidden under the mask, her lips curved slightly upwards; regardless, even if Liu Xin’an teased her, she felt very happy at the moment.

Being able to walk so freely with Liu Xin’an in the supermarket was truly a delightful experience for her.

Well... as long as Liu Xin’an didn’t mind her eating snacks.

It’s just one bag, what could possibly be the issue? He’s really making a mountain out of a molehill.

Soon, Liu Xin’an, carrying the fruits and snacks, followed behind Bae Juhyun as they walked out of the supermarket.

They checked out smoothly, and throughout, no one showed any curiosity towards Bae Juhyun, significantly relaxing Liu Xin’an’s tense mood.

After stepping out, there was no need to be so nervous anymore; the sky had already turned completely dark, making it not easy for anyone to recognize them.

As time gradually moved into April, the arrival of spring slowly warmed the temperatures.

One coat was no longer too cold.

Bae Juhyun, walking rather quickly, stopped, turned around to look at the man lagging two steps behind her, tilting her head and waiting.

Not until Liu Xin’an caught up beside her did she affectionately hook her arm through his.

"Xin’an, why did you fall in love with me?"

She suddenly asked.

Liu Xin’an paused for a moment, reminiscing about a movie he had seen before.

Then, a smile forming on his lips, he softly replied.

"I tried to restrain myself."

This peculiar answer left Bae Juhyun somewhat bewildered.

She slightly tilted her head up, puzzledly looking at him.

Liu Xin’an simply smiled, staying silent.
