MFIMM Chapter 34

Going to the Supermarket

Lin Xi still didn’t let Pei Jiashu carry him home. By now, the number of people on the street was gradually increasing. He jumped off Pei Jiashu’s back, and the two walked side by side.

He was only now belatedly realizing that he was an anchor, and walking with Pei Jiashu didn’t seem appropriate. He furtively pulled out a mask from his pocket and put it on.

Pei Jiashu seemed to be deliberately going against him, pointing to the supermarket across the street and saying, “It seems like we don’t have enough vegetables at home. There’s a supermarket over there, do you want to check it out?”

“Not enough vegetables?” How did Lin Xi remember Pei Jiashu previously telling him that the vegetables at home were all delivered?

But after all, Pei Jiashu was the one who did the cooking, so he nodded, “Then let’s go together.”

He followed Pei Jiashu to the supermarket. There were many elderly people selling vegetables in the morning, looking at the two of them as if they were some rare species.

Lin Xi felt a little shy from being stared at and followed closely behind Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu naturally grabbed his hand, as if they were a young couple who had woken up early to sell vegetables.

He felt disgusted by his own imagination and wanted to pull his hand away, but Pei Jiashu held his hand tighter, “It’s crowded here, don’t get lost.”

Lin Xi pointed to himself, he was a recently graduated, fully grown, and even married man, did he look like the kind of person who could get lost?

“I think you just want to hold my hand,” Lin Xi muttered to himself.

Pei Jiashu, who had just been shamelessly wanting to hold his hand, suddenly let go, “Who wants to hold your hand? I was just worried you wouldn’t know the way around here.”

“Then why are you blushing?” Lin Xi suddenly moved closer to Pei Jiashu, looking at Pei Jiashu’s flushed face. He seemed to realize something, hugged himself, and backed away, “You… you wouldn’t actually have some ulterior motives towards me, would you?”

“Who would have ulterior motives towards an omega like you?” Pei Jiashu averted his gaze, turned his head, and continued walking inside.

Seeing that Pei Jiashu was about to disappear into the shelves, Lin Xi quickly caught up with him.

“I was just joking, why did you get so defensive?”

Pei Jiashu’s eyes darkened. He gently rubbed the hand he had just held, he was already very familiar with Lin Xi’s knuckles, all from holding his hand during this period.

Not only that, but they also often fell asleep hugging each other.

The action just now was just his subconscious reaction. Did he really want to hold Lin Xi’s hand?

Pei Jiashu threw this terrifying thought out of his mind and continued to take Lin Xi around the supermarket.

Lin Xi was like a curious baby, wanting to look at everything. Pei Jiashu was responsible for explaining what each ingredient could be used for and pushing the shopping cart.

In just a few minutes, the shopping cart was already half full.

“Let me push it,” Lin Xi said. Since it was all things Lin Xi had bought, he felt a little embarrassed, but Pei Jiashu clearly had no intention of letting go.

Lin Xi could only grab the side of the handle and help Pei Jiashu push.

They went to the snack section and bought some snacks, filling the cart.

When paying, the two of them stood out among the middle-aged couples. Fortunately, Lin Xi was wearing a mask, but they could still hear them whispering.

“It has to be the young ones, all lovey-dovey.”

“Don’t talk about them, weren’t you like that when you were young? Doing everything together.”

Lin Xi suddenly felt that the handle was a little hot. He wanted to let go of the handle, but unexpectedly, Pei Jiashu also let go.

They were both stunned and grabbed it at the same time.

Lin Xi looked away, so awkward. Forget it, let’s just hold it like this.

“I’ll pay in a bit,” Lin Xi said softly to Pei Jiashu.

He was originally thinking about how to explain it to Pei Jiashu, but Pei Jiashu agreed readily, “Okay.”

After paying, there were too many things, and the cashier packed them into two bags. Pei Jiashu took the heavy one, letting Lin Xi take the one filled with snacks.

In front of them were the middle-aged couple who had just come out of the supermarket. The tall alpha was carrying the shopping bags, and the omega was hooking the alpha’s arm, leaning on him as they walked.

Lin Xi looked at them a few more times and then looked at Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu stared at them blankly, his eyes filled with some indescribable emotions.

He suddenly thought that Pei Jiashu’s father had passed away early, he probably also envied such a warm family.

Lin Xi jumped in front of Pei Jiashu, blocking his view, and said playfully, “Pei Jiashu, what are we having for breakfast? I’m so hungry!”

“Aren’t you holding a bag of snacks?” Pei Jiashu asked back.

“Didn’t you say that eating too many snacks is bad? I want to eat a meal, I’m so hungry.” Lin Xi was almost lying on the ground throwing a tantrum.

The corners of Pei Jiashu’s mouth slightly lifted, and he tapped Lin Xi’s forehead with his knuckles, “Are you a hungry ghost?”

“Yes, I’m a hungry ghost, I want to be on your back, secretly following you.” As he said that, Lin Xi jumped onto Pei Jiashu’s back.

Pei Jiashu helplessly held Lin Xi’s legs, “You’re such a child.”

——

On the morning of going to the hot spring hotel, Lin Xi almost overslept. He had talked on the phone with Chen Mingxuan for too long yesterday and excitedly packed his things all night.

Pei Jiashu walked into his room. The electric curtains were opened, and the harsh sunlight shone in.

“Lin Xi, wake up quickly.” Pei Jiashu was almost about to pull off Lin Xi’s blanket. The way he was waking him up was exactly like his mother.

Lin Xi covered his eyes with his hand, wiggled a few times under the blanket, and burrowed inside.

“If you don’t get up, I’m going to pull off your blanket,” Pei Jiashu said, standing at Lin Xi’s bedside.

Lin Xi didn’t know if he heard, and made a few grunting sounds inside the blanket.

Because AOs should be kept separate, Pei Jiashu still didn’t pull off Lin Xi’s blanket. He tucked the four corners of the blanket inside, like a burrito, wrapped Lin Xi in the blanket a few times on the bed, and directly carried the person with the blanket to the bathroom.

“What the f*ck, what are you doing? Put me down.” Lin Xi was almost bounced to the point of vomiting, but his hands and feet were all inside the blanket, and he couldn’t even stick his head out.

Pei Jiashu put him on the sink, found Lin Xi’s head from the burrito, and rescued him.

This person didn’t have any self-awareness, and looked at Lin Xi’s messy hair and rubbed it a few times, “Once you’re awake, wash up.”

Lin Xi threw a set of air punches to brush away Pei Jiashu’s hand, and looked at him angrily.

Before he could open his mouth, Pei Jiashu squeezed toothpaste onto a toothbrush and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Ptui, ptui, ptui.” Lin Xi was almost choked to death by the toothpaste. He crawled out of the blanket and threw the blanket back onto the bed.

The blanket still carried his warm body temperature, and the big bear was obediently lying on the bed, as if waiting for his favor.

Lin Xi stretched out his foot and wanted to lie back down and sleep for a while.

But as soon as he moved, a hand grabbed his collar from behind.

Lin Xi struggled with his hands and feet, but couldn’t break free. He was dragged back to the bathroom by Pei Jiashu, and the toothbrush was stuffed into his mouth again. He moved the toothbrush half-dead.

Looking in the mirror, Pei Jiashu was also brushing his teeth next to him.

His movements were as standard as if they had been copied one-to-one from a hospital slogan, looking full of vigor.

In contrast, Lin Xi had faint dark circles under his eyes, and the broken hair on the top of his head was sticking out in every direction.

Wait.

“Why are you brushing your teeth in my bedroom?” Lin Xi turned his head and asked Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu took a mouthful of water and spat it into the sink, “It’s too troublesome to run up and down the stairs every day.”

Lin Xi nodded, “Indeed.”

He changed the direction of his toothbrush and continued to brush his teeth mechanically, “But I didn’t put anything in your bathroom!”

The corner of Pei Jiashu’s mouth twitched, was that the point?

“You can put whatever you want, put it wherever you want.”

“That’s not bad.” Lin Xi was finally happy, and had the motivation to brush his teeth.

They ate a little breakfast casually. When Lin Xi went out, he didn’t even have the strength to put on makeup. He wore an eye mask and a mask, and started sleeping again as soon as he got into the car.

He went so haggard, and when he got there, he found out that today was the hotel’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, and everyone who came was dressed in suits and leather shoes.

“Pei Jiashu?” Lin Xi got out of the car and glanced at Pei Jiashu. Pei Jiashu was wearing a simple gray coat, handsome, no matter what he wore, he looked presentable.

Pei Jiashu took out the luggage for the two of them from the trunk, mainly Lin Xi’s. He comforted Lin Xi, “It’s okay, I told Liang Siqi, just go have fun today.”

The Liang family was a local wealthy family, and everyone who came was a big shot. Not only that, but there were also mediaattending to observe the ceremony.

Lin Xi’s identity was naturally not convenient to appear here.

But he was here for the hot springs, so the staff directly took them to the room upstairs. The room had a private hot spring.

Lin Xi didn’t care about the hot springs and lay down on the bed to sleep for a while. In his daze, he heard the sound of the door being opened and a very familiar voice.

“Jiashu-ge, since you’re here, let’s go down and participate in the ribbon-cutting together.”

Pei Jiashu said softly, “Xiao Xi is still sleeping, be quiet. I won’t go to the ribbon-cutting. If I had known you were doing the ribbon-cutting today, I wouldn’t have brought him here.”

Pei Jiashu’s meaning of refusal was obvious, and he didn’t even let Liang Siqi enter the door. Liang Siqi angrily glanced inside.

“The other elders are also here, you should at least go down and say hello to them.”

“I’ll take Lin Xi to visit them next time I have time,” Pei Jiashu refused without leaving any opening.

Liang Siqi had no other choice but to retreat in disappointment.

But after a while, the door was knocked on again.

Pei Jiashu looked helplessly at the person who came, it was Uncle Butler.

“Uncle, why are you here? Did Father come too?”

The butler shook his head, “President Pei couldn’t get away and asked me to come and deliver a gift. I heard from Siqi that you were here, so I came up to take a look. Did the young mistress come too?”

This time, Pei Jiashu invited the butler into the room. The two of them sat in the living room.

“Xiao Xi is sleeping inside.”

“Young master, I know your ability, there’s naturally no problem with you venturing outside on your own, but you always have to go home. So there are some things that should be done, you still have to do them.”

The smile on Pei Jiashu’s face froze for a moment. He handed a freshly brewed cup of tea on the table to the butler.

He didn’t answer, and the butler also stood his ground and didn’t take the cup of tea.

If it were normal, Pei Jiashu would have refused, but today the butler was representing his father.

In the end, he still agreed, “Okay, I’ll go.”

The butler took the tea with satisfaction and took a sip.
