Chapter 2: Miss, you're mistaken

  Lu Xiaoran's face stiffened into a smile as he hastily waved his hand, "Ah...no way no way...heh heh".

  An Qi's bright and clear big eyes stared at Lu Xiao Ran, saying "Your heart rate was 83 when you spoke just now, your high blood pressure was 145, and your low blood pressure was 87. These are signs of lying, you lied."

  Lu Xiaoran was shocked and stuttered "Ah... this... is this possible?".

  Anqi looked around the room and said "You don't have to be suspicious, I've taken a look at your room and it lacks essential living items, so we need to go shopping on the street now."

  After finishing speaking, she pulled Lu Xiao Ran and walked out.

  "Hey! Wait a minute! Let go first! I need to change my clothes!" Lu Xiao Ran tried to pry An Qi's hands off him, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it and could only beg for mercy.

  An Qi lowered her head to look at Lu Xiao Ran, who was pitifully looking up at her after being dragged to the ground by herself. She let go of his hand and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

  Lu Xiaoran thought bitterly in her heart, "Is this really my husband? I'm more like an old servant!"

  Lu Xiaoran put on his clothes and then pocketed a bank card before leaving with An Qi.

  In the scorching summer noon of July, when the sun was at its most venomous, Lu Xiaoran felt as if the asphalt road had been scorched into a curve. He turned his head to look at An Qi, who continued walking with an unchanged expression. Seeing Lu Xiaoran stop and stare at her, An Qi asked, "What's wrong?"

  "You... aren't hot... wearing a black outfit..." Lu Xiaoran asked.

  "I'm not hot, I can automatically adjust the temperature. When it's hot, I can adjust my body temperature to around 10 degrees Celsius. When it's cold, I can adjust it to around 39 degrees Celsius."

  "Hey! I'm almost being baked alive, let's go to the supermarket quickly, there's air conditioning!"

  He had just finished speaking and was about to run away when Angie suddenly stretched out her hand and grasped Lu Xiao Ran. Lu Xiao Ran's hand was caught by Angie's soft, slender, and somewhat chilly small hand, and he felt a lot cooler all of a sudden.

  "Is it still hot?" Angie asked, holding Lu Xiaoran's hand.

  "Not... not hot" Lu Xiao Ran was a bit dazed, this feeling had been absent for a long time. He tilted his head to look at An Qi in front of him, and his heart felt beautiful. He thought he was the happiest man in the world. Now, he didn't rush to go to the supermarket, just wanting to hold An Qi's hand like this.

  No matter how slow they walked, An Qi and Lu Xiao Ran still entered a supermarket in just ten minutes.

  Anqi took a shopping basket, let go of Lushao Yan's hand and started shuttling between rows of shelves. Lushao Yan followed behind Anqi, looking like a mother and child.

  "There's no vinegar at home"

  "We should buy a few new pairs of chopsticks"

  "We should buy some vegetables at home"

  "...".

  Anqi was picking out goods beside the shelf, which filled Lu Xiaoran with a sense of happiness. The people shopping nearby also noticed the stunning beauty beside Lu Xiaoran, as if they had become the main characters of this supermarket.

  Envy in their eyes.

  With jealous eyes.

  Lu Xiaoran didn't care; all he knew was that An Qi in front of him had given him unprecedented joy.

  "Anqi, buy some dried scallops and sea cucumbers," said Lu Xiaoran, picking up a package of sea cucumbers.

  Anqi took a glance and said, "This is soaked in chlorine water, the sea cucumber looks shiny, but after eating it can damage the kidneys, leading to gastric perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney failure..."

  "Alright, I wasn't too fond of it anyway..." Lu Xiao Ran decisively put the sea cucumber back.

  Anqi and Lu Xiaoran bought two big baskets full of goods, came to the counter to pay. The cashier said expressionlessly "The total is 273 yuan 60 cents, thank you for coming again".

  Lu Xiaoran took out her card and prepared to pay the bill.

  Anqi pressed down on Lu Xiaoran's hand, looked up at the cashier with a serious face and said "Miss, you made a mistake, it should be 271 yuan and 4 cents." After that, Anqi stared tightly at the cashier.

  Lu Xiaoran looked a bit embarrassed and stiffly smiled, saying to the cashier "Uh...my girlfriend is good at mental math"

  The cashier, with a reluctant face, recalculated again and indeed made an error. Lu Xiaoran paid the money, hastily pulling An Qi out of the supermarket, without even bothering about the cashier who was left standing there in stunned silence.

  "You scared that person half to death just now"

  "I didn't do anything"

  Lu Xiaoran looked at An Qi carrying a big bag of things, feeling strange in his heart. He took the things from An Qi's hands and said "A man shouldn't let a woman bear the burden".

  An Qi's expressionless face stared at Lu Xiao Ran, without saying a word.

  Lu Xiaoran felt that there was something missing between them, stopped in his tracks, and pulled An Qi saying "We look so tense... We don't look like a couple at all"

  An Qi's short hair framed her beautiful face as she faced Lu Xiao Ran.

  Just then a couple walked by next to them, the woman with her arms around the man's neck, bouncing past An Qi and Lu Xiao Ran.

  Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but feel a little envious as he watched the sweet couple walk by, and then turned his head to glance at An Qi.

  An Qi kept watching the couple walk away, then turned her head and looked at Lu Xiao Ran.

  Lu Xiaoran's beauty was ruined, waiting for An Qi to hug herself and act coquettishly.

  He was daydreaming when he felt a strong gust of wind coming towards him, and suddenly saw Angie stretch out her hand to grab Lu Xiao Ran, then pin his head under her arm and hop forward.

  Lu Xiaoran was pinched so hard he almost lost his breath.

  Then a scene of misunderstanding appeared on the street: a beauty walked and jumped up to hit her boyfriend who was pinched by his head...

  This afternoon, Lu Xiaoran bought a floral skirt for Angie and spent a lot of money on a Chanel perfume. As soon as they finished shopping, Angie would grab Lu Xiaoran's head and jump up and down as they walked...

  At the end of the day, Lu Xiaoran felt like his head had shrunk a size...

  They strolled until evening, and Lu Xiaoran specially took Angie to a high-end restaurant. Lu Xiaoran thought that his former self could go to a street corner or alleyway to eat a bowl of mixed noodles, or buy a few buns to eat, but now it was different. After all, he couldn't take such a beautiful wife to a small eatery to eat, could he?

  Two people sat down in a position by the floor-to-ceiling window, just right to look at the night view outside.

  There is light music.

  Candlelight dinner.

  Lu Xiaoran looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table, took a glance at his surroundings, and saw that people passing by the restaurant on the street would look in through the floor-to-ceiling windows at An Qi, which made Lu Xiaoran feel a sense of pride.

  "...can you eat?"

  "Of course you can, I'll finish everything you can't eat."

  Lu Xiaoran had no choice but to start eating by herself, glancing at An Qi while she sat elegantly, smiling as she watched Lu Xiaoran.

  Lu Xiaoran pushed a plate of chicken legs in front of An Qi.

  "I'm full... you have some"

  "Okay"

  Anqi picked up a chicken leg and opened her small mouth to take a bite, her face puffed out as she chewed, and started eating.

  Her eating posture was very good-looking, Lu Xiaoran supported his chin with both hands, looking at the absolutely beautiful Angie in front of him, and he was a little dazed.

  "Is it delicious?"

  "It's tasteless, I'll cook for you at home next time"

  Lu Xiaoran exclaimed in surprise, "You can cook?"

  "Of course, Chinese, Western, Korean, Japanese, I can make them all." Angie muttered with her small mouth pouting and chewing at the same time, looking extremely cute.

  "Haha, you're really something!"

  "Well, this is nothing"

  "Oh? Ah yes, I remember you said you can do anything, you said you would protect me, I will meet in the future..."

  Before Lu Xiaoran could finish speaking, An Qi stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth.

  Don't ask about future matters

  Lu Xiaoran could only eat his chicken leg silently, afraid that if he asked again, his head would be chopped off once more.
