Chapter 36: Finished All Her Chips

Lin Beixiu was speechless, “How could we coincidentally meet acquaintances?”

“No matter what, we should pay attention.”

Lin Beixiu: ……

Dragged by her, Lin Beixiu glanced at the cake in his hand and took a bite.

It felt as if the two were really in a relationship. This thought made Lin Beixiu look forward with a complex expression to Qin Muxue ahead. Her soft hair that reached her waist, her stunning beauty, and her charm whether she smiled or frowned were enough to attract anyone.

It wasn’t easy, but after eating quite a bit, Qin Muxue thought of dragging him to the supermarket.

“Big sister, you just thought of buying daily necessities?” Lin Beixiu said helplessly.

Qin Muxue giggled, “We still have plenty of time.”

Eventually, the two entered the supermarket, completely unaware of a figure on the opposite street.

They split up to shop; Lin Beixiu went to the daily necessities area, checking his phone for the shopping list Qin Muxue sent him, and started searching along the shelves.

Soon, Lin Beixiu had finished shopping and sent Qin Muxue a message. They agreed to meet at the cashier.

Qin Muxue hadn’t arrived yet, so Lin Beixiu stood there and saw the box Qin Muxue held last time. Curious, he decided to pick it up for a closer look.

A hand pressed on his, and turning his head, he saw Qin Muxue. She hadn’t expected Lin Beixiu to be interested in this, which startled her.

“Did you finish shopping?”

Lin Beixiu responded off-topic, “I was just wondering what this thing is.”

“There’s nothing to see, let’s go pay.”

“Then why were you looking at it so intently last time?”

Qin Muxue broke into a cold sweat and finally came up with an explanation, “Because I saw a few words on it that I didn’t recognize, just curious.”

Lin Beixiu didn’t care about these details and went to check out, with Qin Muxue following, relieved and smiling.

It’s better that this silly little brother doesn’t know too much for now. It’s rare for a man not to understand this; he can be taught slowly in the future.

When checking out, Lin Beixiu slapped his forehead and looked at her speechlessly, while Qin Muxue felt a bit guilty but still said.

“This is also necessary.”

Because everything Qin Muxue bought was snacks.

“Just eat, you won’t get fat.”

Qin Muxue huffed, “Nonsense, I won’t get fat.”

The cashier watched the bickering pair with a smile, finding the scene amusing.

“Hehe.”

After paying, Qin Muxue took out her phone to make the payment. The money would be settled later.

Leaving the supermarket, Lin Beixiu asked, “Is that all? Can we go back now?”

Really, it was a bit tiring.

Lin Beixiu thought speechlessly.

“I’m a bit thirsty, can you buy me an ice cream?”

“Eh——”

Lin Beixiu sighed deeply and finally said, “After buying it, we’ll go back.”

“Mhm.” Qin Muxue nodded obediently.

Then, Lin Beixiu found a convenience store, took an ice cream from the freezer at the entrance, and went to the counter to pay.

“Handsome Lin.”

A familiar voice came from the side. Lin Beixiu turned his head to see Hu Feng.

“What are you doing here?”

“I didn’t eat much for dinner, came out to grab something to fill my stomach.”

Hu Feng also raised the big bottle of cola he was holding, “Those rebels in the dorm asked me to bring back some stuff, said playing games without soda is soulless.”

Lin Beixiu’s lips slightly curved up, “Go back early, I’m leaving.”

“Hehe, where’s sister-in-law?”

After paying, Hu Feng caught up with a mischievous smile.

Lin Beixiu was speechless and glanced at Qin Muxue not far away, who was eagerly walking over.

“I bought it, give it to me.”

Hu Feng was startled, then let out a strange cry.

“Hehe, won’t bother you guys.”

Then he waved his hand and left, making a joke with Lin Beixiu was okay, but he didn’t dare in front of Qin Muxue.

Lin Beixiu was already accustomed to unexpected situations, letting others think whatever. Qin Muxue was even more deliberate in coming up to Hu Feng.

“Let’s go back.”

Qin Muxue, eating the ice cream, felt incredibly refreshed.

“Thanks, little brother Beixiu.”

“Mhm.”

Walking ahead, Lin Beixiu’s lips curved into a smile, having someone by his side was nice. It had been a long time since anyone called him that nickname.

Back home, Qin Muxue tidied up and asked Lin Beixiu to take a shower first.

Lin Beixiu didn’t refuse, mainly because he was indeed tired, and took his clothes into the bathroom.

After tidying up, Qin Muxue took out a pack of chips from her bag and started eating contentedly.

When Lin Beixiu came out, he saw her eating snacks, sat down on the other side of the sofa, picked up the hairdryer, and began to blow his hair. Qin Muxue got up and went to her room to prepare for her shower.

Lin Beixiu’s gaze fell on the chips on the table, feeling a sudden desire for them.

When was the last time he ate snacks? Especially chips, which were so expensive.

“If you want to eat, just eat.”

Lin Beixiu was startled, only then seeing Qin Muxue standing at the corner with a smile.

Lin Beixiu diverted his gaze, then said, “Uh, I wasn’t, I just…”

He realized he didn’t know how to explain himself.

Qin Muxue smiled and turned to enter the bathroom.

She thought Lin Beixiu would say he wouldn’t eat, but it seems he was really craving them. She had said she wouldn’t get fat, but now he wanted to eat too.

Lin Beixiu looked at the significantly eaten bag of chips and still took it to eat. And indeed, they were addictive.

When Qin Muxue came out, she saw the large bag of chips was finished.

Qin Muxue glared at him, “You didn’t leave any for me, I wanted to try some too.”

Being close, Lin Beixiu could smell the scent of her shower gel and shampoo, awkwardly shrinking into the sofa.

“Or… open another bag?”

“If we can’t finish it, overnight snacks won’t taste good, don’t want to eat.”

Lin Beixiu found himself in a dilemma, not noticing the slyness in Qin Muxue’s eyes.

“Then, as punishment, you have to dry my hair.”

“Ah?”

Lin Beixiu couldn’t believe it, but Qin Muxue had already sat beside him, looking affectionately.

“Please, little brother Bei.”

Sigh.

Lin Beixiu couldn’t resist her coquettish behavior, especially after eating all her snacks, he was easily led astray by Qin Muxue.

“Alright then, but I’ve never dried someone else’s hair before.”

“No problem.”

Lin Beixiu stood up, took the hairdryer, hesitated for a moment, then placed his left hand on her head, turned on the dryer, and gently started.

When Qin Muxue felt his hand on her head, her body stiffened, and she gripped her pants tightly on her knees.

Even her mother hadn’t dried her hair, aside from Su Yun, this was another person touching her hair, and a boy at that. Even though it was Lin Beixiu, she couldn’t help but overthink.

As time passed, Qin Muxue relaxed, feeling very comfortable.

For Lin Beixiu, it was a different feeling altogether. The soft hair and the faint scent were incredibly pleasant to his nose.
