After putting things down, Liu Qianxiu glanced at the clock on the wall, rolled up his cuffs, and asked Mu Wan, “Have you had dinner yet?”
The living room had a bit of heat, and Mu Wan’s agitation had not completely faded away. After she returned to her senses, she looked at the thin and tall figure of Liu Qianxiu, shook her head, and said, “Not yet.”
Liu Qianxiu got up and went to the kitchen. Mu Wan usually doesn’t cook at home, especially when it’s hot in summer. Mother Wu made all the ingredients she bought in the morning, so there was nothing in the kitchen.
Coming out of the kitchen, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and said to Mu Wan, “Let’s go to the supermarket.”
Mu Wan knew that Liu Qianxiu would buy ingredients at the supermarket. However, looking at him, she couldn’t help but feel fascination.
“Well, the supermarket is not far away. Let’s go walk.” Mu Wan’s face blushed as she retracted her mind. In the past, Liu Qianxiu held the door open and walked out. But now, she held Liu Qianxiu’s hand.
Liu Qianxiu’s palm was dry and cool. When she reached out, she clasped his fingers and locked them firmly.
The two of them went downstairs one after another. The empty stairs echoed with their footsteps, making Mu Wan’s heart complete. Two wild cats sprang out of the corridor from the tree shade in the community, and Mu Wan suddenly thought of her cats.
“Have you brought Zhou Yi and the others back to home?” Mu Wan stretched out her hand and beckoned the wild cat. However, the wild cats did not stick to people, so they ignored her and rushed into the bushes again.
“No.” Liu Qianxiu said calmly, “I am pick you up first.”
Mu Wan tilted her head to look at him, Liu Qianxiu turned his eyes back to meet her gaze, and Mu Wan’s heart moved slightly. She smiled, and her eyes curled, “Of course, because I am also a cat.”
After speaking, she remembered that she was alone and had no relatives, then she added, “I am a wild cat.”
“No, it’s not.” Liu Qianxiu denied it.
Mu Wan looked at him with a slight frown.
Liu Qianxiu’s eyes were deep, his tone was soft, and he said, “You are my cat.”
Her heart beat faster. Taciturn people who rarely speak usually make people feel more touched when they say words of love. Mu Wan’s cheeks turned red, and her earlobes also turned red. Eventually, she reached to Liu Qianxiu’s ear and said something softly.
“Meow~”
Liu Qianxiu’s expression paused slightly. When he looked at her sideways, Mu Wan had already retracted her body. They had left the alley and arrived at the community’s gate, which was full of people. In a short time, the softness and sweetness were wrapped.
Mu Wan pretended nothing had happened and walked forward with a grin, but she obviously felt Liu Qianxiu’s grip on her hand getting stronger and hotter.
As night falls, the moon and stars disappear from the sky, the air is filled with sweetness, and the dark clouds look like soft hemp black.
Although the houses in Jiayuan Community are old, the nearby infrastructure is very reliable. We saw a large supermarket chain just after passing the community’s intersection.
After six o’clock, there are not too many people in the supermarket. Mu Wan followed Liu Qianxiu to the vegetable area and ordered as usual. After Liu Qianxiu chose the ingredients, the two went to the cashier to check out.
The cashier is waiting in line. Liu Qianxiu pushed the shopping cart, and Mu Wan followed behind. Two or three people were in front of them, but Mu Wan’s eyes fell naturally on the small shelf next to the cashier.
There are small boxes of goods on the small shelves. It square boxes with strawberry flavor, mint flavor, etc... The sizes are also different, some are normal, and some are abnormal...
Because the brand of the goods is so popular, although Mu Wan has never used it, she still knows it. She kept her gaze on it, her eyes turning as if she was choosing it, but she also seemed hesitant.
She has to buy this. She went to the supermarket this time, mainly because she wanted to buy this.
Mu Wan’s heart was pounding. Behind her, a pair of girls were discussing. Later, they walked to the shelf and asked for two boxes of chocolates. They naturally saw Liu Qianxiu standing next to the chocolate box when talking about chocolate.
“This man is so tall and has a good temperament. I don’t know how he looks?”
“Men are not ugly as long as they are tall enough. Isn’t he looked so fashionable now?”
“It would be great if he turned around, so we could take a look.”
“Look at what? Are you going after someone who’s handsome? Humph, such a man must have a girlfriend.”
“That’s not necessarily. Maybe it’s a fish that slipped through the net? Let’s add a WeChat first.”
Their voice was neither loud nor small. Liu Qianxiu could not hear it, but Mu Wan could hear it. She turned around and was about to speak, but the two girls behind her looked up at her back with astonishing eyes.
“Which one do you want?” Liu Qianxiu asked Mu Wan.
“Huh?” Mu Wan looked toward the shelf and thought that Liu Qianxiu was asking about chocolate, so she replied, “I want matcha.”
Liu Qianxiu fixed his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He said patiently and earnestly, “There is not any.”
Her sight was taken back from the chocolate. Mu Wan raised her eyes to Liu Qianxiu’s eyes and reacted. When he asked, Liu Qianxiu’s expression was calm, and his face didn’t change, but Mu Wan’s face became hot.
Mu Wan strengthened her mind and looked up at the shelf. Finally, her eyes fell on a box of red goods. She pointed and said to Liu Qianxiu, “Strawberry.”
Turning his eyes to the shelf, Liu Qianxiu picked up the things and put them in the shopping cart. The customer in front of them had finished checking out, so Liu Qianxiu took Mu Wan’s hand and pushed the shopping cart forward to check out.
The two girls in the back did not talk anymore.
After shopping in the supermarket, Liu Qianxiu crossed the street and headed home with the ingredients in one hand and Mu Wan in the other. When they entered the supermarket, the sky was still dimly lit, but it was completely dark now.
The street lights were lit up in rows. Mu Wan was walking on the sidewalk, still a bit shorter than Liu Qianxiu, who was holding her by his side. The scene was a bit cozy, which made Mu Wan recall the warm picture in her memory.
“When I was a child, my mother came to pick me up when my tutoring class was over, and she led me to walk like this.” Mu Wan said, “I am also shorter than my mother. That time, I also think that I will grow up and be taller than my mother. Then, I took her by the hand and led her. But she died before I became taller than her.”
Her mother died when she graduated from primary school. She was only twelve then, but all her expectations of the world had been extinguished. But now it’s different. With Liu Qianxiu, her world lights up again.
Liu Qianxiu walked with her and led her along. His fingers were long and powerful. Even if she couldn’t maintain her balance and the whole person fell, he could lift her up completely.
Since the two were together, they never talked about their parents and family. After Mu Wan finished speaking, she tilted her head, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Where are your parents?”
“Passed away.” Liu Qianxiu said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wan’s expression changed slightly, her feet slipped, and the whole person staggered. Liu Qianxiu turned around and let her fall completely into his arms.
Perhaps because Mu Wan had just fallen and been frightened, her heart beating very fast when she looked up at him. The shadows of the two of them entangled together on the ground, tall and slender.
Liu Qianxiu hugged her. Her eyes were a little confused after asking the wrong question. With slight movements, Liu Qianxiu lowered his head and kissed her lips.
As soon as they kissed, the light in her eyes instantly softened like a flowing river of light.
“None of us have the closest relatives by blood.” She smiled, and her face turned red again, “But that alright. I can give you a baby.”
”After speaking, Mu Wan lightly sighed and buried her face in Liu Qianxiu’s arms. There is a faint sandalwood scent in his arms, which is cool and refreshing.
When she was annoyed that she was getting more shameless, Liu Qianxiu printed a kiss on her head, and she heard him chuckle and say a word in a deep voice.
“Okay.”
