Chapter 647: Chapter 647 New Year 4

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She pouted and took her seat in the passenger side, but she couldn’t help saying a few more words.

Fortunately, He Nan didn’t show any signs of impatience.

Shen Mianmian had been talking for a while when she suddenly felt a dry itch in her throat. The cold weather and the chill air she breathed in caused her to cough uncontrollably, several times in succession, turning her little face red.

He Nan picked up the thermos from the car, unscrewed the cap offhandedly, and handed it to her, "It’s still a bit hot, you can drink."

Shen Mianmian, distressed by her coughing, didn’t think much and took it, gulping down several mouthfuls before she felt some relief in her throat. Then, she abruptly realized that she was using He Nan’s water bottle, and moreover, the water in it wasn’t full...

Does this count as... Her face flushed in an instant, and she quickly dismissed those messy thoughts.

Noticing her expression, He Nan said indifferently, "This water is from my drink, do you mind?"

"..." Shen Mianmian’s mouth twitched, and she immediately shook her head, "I don’t mind, Big Brother He, don’t get me wrong, I’m just afraid that you would mind."

Upon hearing that, He Nan said expressionlessly, "It’s not the first time anyway."

Having said that, he started the car.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

The time when Xu Haiyang caught her, she seemed to have indeed used He Nan’s water bottle. He really had a good memory.

As the car moved, she gradually stopped feeling embarrassed.

Shen Mianmian had thought He Nan would take her to the hospital, but to her surprise, he drove to the marketplace instead.

"Big Brother He, weren’t we going to the hospital to get medicine?" Shen Mianmian looked confused; why had they come to the marketplace?

"I might have choked on the water earlier, it’s not a cold," said He Nan with all seriousness, and then opened the car door to get out. "Today is the last day the market is open until the fourth day of the New Year. We need to stock up on food, otherwise, we’ll run out of provisions over the next few days and will only have an empty stomach."

Shen Mianmian still hadn’t snapped out of her daze from what he’d said earlier when the thought of running out of food alarmed her. She didn’t dare delay any longer and hurried out of the car with her short legs, following closely behind He Nan as if afraid the market would be emptied out if she were a moment too slow.

Although she never said it out loud, she was acutely aware of how terrible it felt to be hungry. That fear of hunger deeply bothered her.

Back when she had no money, it was tolerable to go hungry. Now that she had money, going hungry would be truly pitiful.

Entering the marketplace, Shen Mianmian was like Little Whirlwind, appearing one moment at one stall and the next moment at another, while He Nan took care of paying and carrying the purchases.

By the end of their shopping, his hands were full to the brim.

On the twenty-ninth of the last month, as the restaurants outside had already shut down for the New Year, both of them were feeling hungry, so they brought the groceries home and cooked three dishes and a soup for lunch.

After lunch, He Nan took her for a stroll around the mall. Shen Mianmian bought herself an entire new outfit from head to toe; under her persistent chattering, He Nan also bought a piece of clothing, though not a coat, but a thick sweater.

After a day of wandering around, Shen Mianmian was also a bit tired. She snuggled up on He Nan’s sofa watching TV, while He Nan quietly read his newspaper. The two didn’t disturb each other, the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious, neither found it dull. On the contrary, they both felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

As far as she had grown, this was the most comfortable New Year Shen Mianmian had ever had. There were no curses from Zhou Lanfang, no endless chores to do, she wasn’t cold, her wallet wasn’t empty, and she even had a color TV to watch.
