Chapter 201: “I don’t know, I can’t tell.” (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
The group of people wearing thick down jackets, hats and masks entered the supermarket. Fortunately, everyone was dressed in this way during the cooling days, so they were not conspicuous. Moreover, the supermarket was crowded and everyone was pushing a full shopping cart, no one would notice what the people passing by looked like.
Yu Qinghuan wheeled a shopping cart to Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Xin respectively, while he and Huo Qu used the same cart and pushed it hard into the crowd.
“I regret to come, Qinghuan,” Zhao Qingyuan, holding a large box of cherries, panted heavily. He put those cherries into the shopping cart and nearly collapsed. “There are too many people, and I think my ribs are going to be crushed.”
“I have almost done.” Yu Qinghuan glanced at his shopping cart and asked him, “What else do you want?”
Yu Qinghuan was the major buyer today, but in the end, Zhao Qingyuan bought more than he did.
Sea urchin biscuits, durian multilayer cakes, truffle chocolates... He bought all kinds of snacks... Anyone who did not know him would think the shopping cart was for an eight-year-old boy.
“No,” Zhao Qingyuan motioned with his hand, pushed the cart and hurried to the cashier, “Let’s check out quickly.”
The checkout line was long and most people were chatting.
While Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Qinghuan dared not to speak at this time, for fear of being recognized. Being idle, they could only lower their heads to play with their mobile phones.
There were too many people here. Huo Qu felt a little uncomfortable and had been holding Yu Qinghuan’s hand tightly.
Yu Qinghuan felt distressed and self-blame. He raised his hand to arrange Huo Qu’s forehead hair and asked, “Do you want the driver to take you home first?”
Huo Qu shook his head, rubbing Qinghuan’s fingers with his side face, “I’ll be with you.”
“Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“Not very, I can endure.”
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan was much relieved since Huo Qu would not lie. What he said was literally.
Just as he was going to let Huo Qu drink some water, a girl’s angry voice sounded in his ear, “New year? Fuck off! We’re done! I don’t care you never pay when we’re shopping together. How could you only buy a box of kiwi fruits to my home with each one in it the smallest? Am I so worthless?”
Yu Qinghuan looked toward the speaker. The man being scolded flushed. He noticed the scornful sights from all directions and even lowered his head. He kept coaxing the girl in a low voice, but the girl ignored him and walked away.
In desperation, the man followed the girl away despondently.
While everyone in the supermarket was talking about this interlude, Yu Qinghuan’s group reached the front.
Yu Qinghuan pulled Yu Xin and Zhao Qingyuan’s cart to the front, too, “Settled the bill together.”
The two men didn’t refuse, they nodded and accepted his kindness.
They bought too many things. When all the goods were scanned price, Yu Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out his cell phone. Just as he was about to pay, one arm suddenly crossed in front of him.
“Huo Qu?”
“Let me pay.” Huo Qu’s lips pressed tightly and he took out his cell phone like Yu Qinghuan.
Was he stimulated by the quarrelling couple just now?
Yu Qinghuan held the forehead, “Don’t bother.”
Huo Qu’s money was all transferred to him. He persuaded Huo Qu for a long time and finally let the man keep a month’s salary in his card for a rainy day. If he spent all his money this time, it would be difficult for him to save money next time.
“I’ll pay myself, just wait for me.”
“No, I’ll pay.” Huo Qu insisted.
Watching the people behind him became impatient, Huo Qu still refused to give in. Yu Qinghuan had to hold his hand and said to him softly, “Next time...”
Seeing Huo Qu’s eyebrows wrinkled up, he hurriedly added, “Your money can only be spent on me, not on others. Next time you pay the bill when there is only me.”
Huo Qu’s eyes lit up in an instant, and his chagrin and unhappiness were swept away in an instant. His ears were reddish, and he looked at Yu Qinghuan shyly, saying quietly and contentedly, “Keep your promise and I’ll keep mine.”
Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Xin were stunned on one side.
Shit!
They must be crazy to follow the couple here!
After the bill was settled, Zhao Qingyuan drove away depressed, but Yu Xin had to endure the two and send Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu home.
When they finally got to the place, he put the two men down and sped the car without looking back, with car exhaust spraying on Yu Qinghuan’s face.
Yu Qinghuan, “...”
Because of his words, Huo Qu was excited all the way and jumped on Qinghuan as soon as he got home.
“No, I haven’t bathed yet.” Yu Qinghuan bent his head to avoid Huo Qu’s lips.
“Let’s do it together.” Huo Qu just ignored his excuses. In a few seconds, Yu Qinghuan was stripped off his pants.
“I’m very tired today,” Yu Qinghuan gasped and refused him, “Tomorrow... Ah... Hush, can we do it tomorrow?”
Huo Qu pretended not to hear and kept his motions.
Yu Qinghuan couldn’t help yelling softly, “Huo Qu!”
This time, Huo Qu finally raised his head but...
“As you said, refusal is permission.”
Yu Qinghuan, “...”
“That... that depends on the situation. Now refusing is refusing.”
How could he be hot-headed that day and say such strange things to Huo Qu?!
Huo Qu paused. Just when Yu Qinghuan thought he was going to stop, Huo Qu suddenly picked Qinghuan up and went to the bathroom. “I don’t know, I can’t tell.”
