Chapter 53: Cold Feet – Need Some Warmth
“Take this, this, and this—all of it!” Chen Yuan waved his hand, and all the sweet treats necessary for the appreciation of rare noble artworks in front of him were gathered!
That’s right, it was potato chips and popcorn.
It’s so simple to make girls happy; just take them to eat something delicious…
They aren’t Yu Enqi; I don’t need to buy them bags and bracelets that don’t meet the price.
These two silly girls have probably never had these little snacks before; a piece of candy can keep them happy for half a day.
So Chen Yuan thought about it and took the two of them to the supermarket, where they could pick anything they wanted, and if it was too expensive, he would admit defeat!
Oh no, no, no, don’t go towards the bedding section!!
…..
The supermarket wasn’t very big, since it wasn’t in a shopping mall, and right by the entrance was a pile of bedding items.
Sheets, pillows, and so on.
The two girls, out of curiosity, went over there, and after walking around the snack section, their shopping cart was already packed full.
Chen Yuan also noticed that their preferences were different.
Cu liked sweet things like chocolate; her eyes lit up at the sight of donuts and lollipops, while Yu liked meat, eagerly grabbing chicken legs, duck necks, and chicken feet…
Currently, she was holding a grilled sausage bought at the entrance, and noticing Chen Yuan looking at her, she licked it…
What?
Chen Yuan: “You can eat it well…”
“It’s really delicious~” Yu squinted her eyes, teasing Chen Yuan without any shyness.
With a pout, Chen Yuan shook his head and kindly asked, “So, ladies, is there anything else you want?”
He was now pushing two shopping carts full of various snacks; carrying them later would probably be a struggle.
“What’s over there?” Cu kept looking at some novel areas, constantly observing what this world was like.
Following her finger, Chen Yuan looked over.
It was the toy section…
Teddy bears and the like…
Bigger than a person!
Surely, these two queens wouldn’t be interested in this, right?
But looking again at their eyes…
What’s with those expectant looks you two have…
You are queens! A queen of a country! Can’t you be a little more mature than this?!
How can you show such envious and expectant expressions towards children’s toys?!
Those dolls? If you gave them to me at eight, I would—
…..
“Welcome next time~”
Hehe, my big black bear…
The three of them each carried a big bag and hugged a toy that was nearly human-sized as they left the supermarket…
Cu had a blue and white cat, while Yu had a black and red rabbit.
Chen Yuan reluctantly picked a dressed-up big black bear.
It wasn’t what I wanted to buy, but there was no choice.
These two girls insisted on buying it and insisted that I choose one too…
Well, who would want a fuzzy toy as a grown man…
So why did you pick the biggest one?
Cough, cough…
To put it bluntly, having two girls with him allowed Chen Yuan to hug a big toy openly while walking—something he would never have done alone.
Perhaps alone he might feel socially anxious, but with three people, and each holding one, it became interesting.
The way home wasn’t far; Chen Yuan was carrying the heaviest bag, filled with drinks.
However, neither girl showed any signs of struggling. He also wanted to save face, so he endured it.
Wasn’t this route supposed to take just a few minutes? Why was it taking so long…
Suddenly.
Yu’s hand touched Chen Yuan’s, quietly taking the bag from his hand…
“I’ll carry it, darling~” Yu said casually, with a hint of affection…
However, seeing her like this, while a warm wave flowed through Chen Yuan’s heart, he also really wanted to take it back because the bag he handed over wasn’t just a heavy bag, but also a man’s dignity…
Aren’t you so strong, Yu?!
I thought Cu was the delicate one?!
Is she a saint of physical labor from birth???
No, actually, isn’t that situation worse for me…
If one day I make Yu angry, she wouldn’t even need magic to pin me down and hit me…
*(Swallows hard…)*
Cu noticed the situation on Yu’s side, frowned, but she couldn’t do anything.
In comparison, her strength was just average female strength, and it was even less than Chen Yuan’s…
d*mn, I actually lost this round…
But then, she felt the bag lighten in her hands.
Huh? Teacher?
Hehe, the teacher still likes me more… hmph!
Chen Yuan took the bag from Cu’s hand…
Well… it’s still lighter when it’s Cu’s…
This way, it’s a bit like I’m picking up some of my shattered dignity, right?
It’s not that I’m not manly; it’s that this woman is too strong…
Look, helping Little Cu is easy.
Um, this bag doesn’t contain snacks; it’s my remaining dignity…
When they got home, Chen Yuan went to make dinner.
“Eat a little less; you won’t have room for dinner later.” He instructed the two girls like he was talking to little kids, “Put the drinks in the fridge, and just put the snacks on that shelf; you guys can arrange them.”
“Okay~”
“Okay.”
Then, Chen Yuan went into the kitchen to get busy, occasionally poking his head out to check on the two.
Let’s not start arguing again, let’s get along peacefully…
To his relief, it seemed that the two of them had really reduced their barriers after spending an afternoon together.
Things were orderly; each did their own thing.
Cu was putting the snacks on the shelf, while Yu put the sodas in the fridge.
No arguments.
Chen Yuan felt very pleased; this was nice.
…..
However, just when he felt pleased, during dinner, the two began arguing again about feeding Chen Yuan…
Not even half an hour had passed…
Let’s skip that part…
We won’t look at the quarrel; let’s directly see the two getting along harmoniously.
Look…
After taking a shower, they were now watching a movie together, eating the snacks they had just bought, quietly sitting on opposite ends of the sofa.
What a harmonious scene…
Um… but Chen Yuan knew that it was because he hadn’t gone back yet…
As long as he sat back in the middle position, the two would definitely start arguing again…
Seeing Chen Yuan take a long time with the drinks, Yu turned her head back, tilted her head, and smiled, saying, “Darling~ what are you doing?”
“I’m coming, I’m coming……”
Chen Yuan could only reply, biting the b*llet…
Amitabha…
Sitting back down on the sofa, crossing his legs.
Then one of his feet suddenly came close…
“Darling…… my feet are cold~”
“Use your hands to warm them up~”
