Chapter 296: Husband, Buying Some Gum? Watermelon Flavor

Before long, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe had swept through the entire supermarket.

The shopping cart was already stuffed to the brim.

Just then, Su Qinghe suddenly remembered she’d run out of… that thing.

‘If I’m staying at Gu Yifan’s place again tonight, then…’

“I… uh, hold on a second. I need to go buy something…”

Su Qinghe suddenly said, looking at Gu Yifan.

“Huh????”

Gu Yifan stared at her, completely bewildered. He couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

‘Seriously?’

‘What is this Hanhan up to?’

“What are you buying?”

Gu Yifan asked casually.

“I’m… buying… you know…”

Su Qinghe mumbled, her head lowered and her cheeks flushed.

‘You know???’

Gu Yifan’s head was full of question marks.

‘How am I supposed to say it?’

Su Qinghe was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

“It’s… it’s that… thing that girls use…”

Su Qinghe said in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

After speaking, she ducked her head so low it looked like she was trying to retract it into her neck.

Uh…

‘A thing that girls use…’

Putting that together with Su Qinghe’s current expression, Gu Yifan understood instantly.

He knew what she was talking about.

“Uh… I’ll go with you.”

Gu Yifan said to her matter-of-factly.

Clearly, he was far more thick-skinned than Su Qinghe.

‘This shameless guy!’

“Huh?”

Su Qinghe was startled.

She was taken aback by his suggestion.

“Stop ‘huh’-ing and let’s go.”

“What if you need me to buy them for you next time and it’s inconvenient? I wouldn’t know which kind to get…”

“The last time I had to buy them for you, I had no idea which ones to pick. I had to ask for help, and they almost pegged me as a total creep!”

Gu Yifan said with a perfectly straight face.

‘In reality, he was just curious what kind of magical things they were.’

‘It’s not like he was a pervert or anything!’

‘He was purely curious. Besides, there probably wasn’t a single guy who wasn’t the least bit curious about them!’

‘Surveys showed that one of the top ten things guys were most curious about girls had to do with pads…’

‘Besides, during university military training in his past life, plenty of guys would openly buy them to use as shoe insoles!’

‘Apparently, it made their feet less tired and sore.’

‘Of course, Gu Yifan had never tried it himself, so he had no idea if it was true or not.’

‘Either way, plenty of people had definitely done it!’

“O… Okay…”

Since Gu Yifan had put it that way, Su Qinghe could only nod in agreement.

The two of them then headed to the personal care aisle.

After finding the right shelf, Su Qinghe started searching for her usual brand.

‘It’s probably like how guys are with cigarettes, right? Once you get used to one brand, you stick with it,’ Gu Yifan mused to himself.

He then started looking around curiously. It was a good thing Su Qinghe was with him; otherwise, he’d definitely be seen as a pervert.

After all, not many men would wander into this section, let alone study the products so intently.

Her face flushed the entire time, Su Qinghe quickly chose what she needed.

Gu Yifan saw the brand and type she chose and made a mental note of it.

‘That way, he wouldn’t get it wrong if she was ever… inconvenienced in the future!’

“O-Okay… I’m done…”

Su Qinghe said to Gu Yifan, her cheeks still red, as she placed the items in the cart.

“Okay… good. Let’s go get some fruit and groceries, then we can head home.”

Gu Yifan nodded, pulling his gaze away.

“Mhm…”

Su Qinghe nodded.

After buying fruit, the two headed over to the fresh seafood section.

Su Qinghe stared curiously at all the strange-looking fish and crabs.

She was just like a curious child!

“Hubby, Hubby, look! What’s this?”

“It’s so cute!”

Gu Yifan looked over to where Su Qinghe was pointing.

Uh…

‘Cute?????’

Dark lines seemed to form on Gu Yifan’s forehead…

He said, somewhat resignedly.

“Honey, that… that’s a geoduck…”

Yes! That’s right!

The thing that looks like… well… a certain something????

Its crude nickname was the “bull’s member clam”…

Because it also resembled a bull’s… appendage. Hence the nickname!

And Su Qinghe had just called this thing *cute*… Gu Yifan stole a glance at her.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

“Ugh…”

‘An image was forming in his mind…’

‘The image of Su Qinghe holding the geoduck, smiling and calling it cute!’

HISS…

‘That mental image was too beautiful to look at… I can’t…’

Then, he heard Su Qinghe speak.

“Hubby, let’s eat this tonight, okay?”

“Huh??”

“What did you just say?”

Gu Yifan said, snapping out of his daze.

Su Qinghe shot Gu Yifan a look and repeated herself.

“I said, let’s eat this cute little guy tonight, okay?”

“Eat this??”

“How would we… eat it??”

Gu Yifan asked.

Ugh…

‘As soon as he said it, another mental image appeared…’

‘Eat…’

HISS…

“Honey, let’s just forget it. We’re not eating that. It doesn’t taste good!”

Gu Yifan shook his head to clear away the distracting thoughts.

“Huh? It doesn’t taste good?”

“Oh, okay then. We won’t eat it!”

Su Qinghe said, a little disappointed.

“Phew…”

Gu Yifan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then he saw some live groupers over there.

A hundred different ways to prepare grouper instantly flashed through his mind.

So he said,

“Honey, let’s have fish tonight. This kind is especially tender and delicious when it’s steamed!”

“Really?”

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up!

she chirped excitedly, like a little foodie.

“Mhm, you little foodie!”

Gu Yifan booped her on the nose and said with a smile.

Gu Yifan then picked out a hefty grouper.

He also bought some beef and other side dishes.

Then he picked out a few bottles of good red wine and some candles, planning a cozy, candlelit dinner.

After getting all the seasonings and everything else they needed, the two headed to the checkout counter.

While they were in line to pay,

Su Qinghe suddenly noticed that the “chewing gum” Gu Yifan had bought before was also sold next to the register.

She asked curiously,

“Hubby, they have that chewing gum you bought before here, too!”

She then picked up a watermelon-flavored box to take a look.

“Er…”

Gu Yifan felt a pang of guilt and hurriedly said, “Honey, don’t look at that. That kind doesn’t taste good. It’s our turn, let’s pay.”

“Oh, okay.”

Su Qinghe didn’t think much of it. She was about to put it down when she suddenly saw the large word printed on the side.

“Condoms…”

“?????”

It finally dawned on Su Qinghe!

WHOOSH! Her face instantly turned beet red.

‘It was all this big jerk’s fault!’

‘Yes! It was all Gu Yifan’s fault, that rotten guy!’

However,

Gu Yifan didn’t notice her strange reaction and thought she hadn’t seen the word…

He placed their items on the counter to pay.

Meanwhile, Su Qinghe, blushing furiously, kept her head down the entire time.

After paying, Gu Yifan reached for Su Qinghe’s hand, only to notice that her face was completely flushed…
