She took a glance at it and shut her door .
Zhou Shuang called to say that she would arrive at her place during lunchtime . She felt bad that she didn't prepare lunch for her yesterday, and it just so happened that she wished to drink some soup .
Hence after breakfast and all the puking, Xuxu changed into a new set of clothes and got ready to visit the supermarket to buy some groceries .
There was a huge supermarket about three bus stops away and the bus leaves from the entrance of her district . Xuxu estimated the time to leave her house and when she would arrive at the entrance . The bus did arrive just in time .
With bustling energy, she hurried up the bus . As there were no available seats, she found a less crowded place to stand .
Early in the morning, old men and women, who had grocery bags on their hand, would crowd the supermarket bus . Everyone would be enthusiastically discussing the prices of eggs and vegetables sold in the supermarket .
Just when the bus door was about to close, a tall figure suddenly dashed in .
All the elderly men and ladies in the bus, including Xuxu, shifted their gaze towards the man .
The man was impeccably dressed in a suit . His gorgeous face was glowing with vigor and elation . At that instant, he became a bright and dazzling star amongst the bus of old folks .
He got up the bus and walked straight to Xuxu .
When he stood beside her, a familiar scent of faint perfume assailed Xuxu's nose .
She looked down and noticed the pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet .
He was holding on to the safety handle with one hand, and instead of shoving the other hand into his pocket, like the usual, it hung loosely next to his thigh .
The bus came to a stop when it arrived at the next bus stop . As more people crowded the bus, everyone briefly swayed when the bus pulled to a stop .
"Xuxu, be careful . " Yan Rusheng stretched out his long arm to hold on to her, protecting her .
With more people boarding the bus, space was getting tighter, both their bodies pressed closer together .
Xuxu lowered her head and pressed both hands on his chest to shove him away, but it was to no avail . People around them kept swaying to and fro .
"Don't move because I'm afraid that you will be squished . "
The man's gentle voice sounded above her .
Xuxu tugged at his shirt and lowered her eyes, her eyelashes lightly quivered .
Yan Rusheng looked down at with tenderness in his eyes . There was also a faint smile at the corners of his mouth .
…
When they arrived at the supermarket, Xuxu pushed the trolley around . Yan Rusheng, who was also pushing a trolley, trailed behind her . They were only less than two meters apart .
He deliberately slowed down his steps so that he could look at Xuxu's tiny figure from behind .
In the past, when they were walking together, he was always walking faster than her . He had never once seriously admired her back view .
Back then, did she also do the same, watching him from behind?
Whatever Xuxu placed in her trolley, Yan Rusheng also took the same . Hence, during payment, their identical bills caught the attention of the cashier .
The young cashier lifted her head in surprise . When she saw Yan Rusheng's face, her cheeks turned beet red instantly . Her eyes brightly sparkled . "Third… Third…"
"Shh!" Yan Rusheng placed his index finger to his lips and made a 'silent' action to the cashier, signaling to her to lower her voice . After that, he took out his credit card and handed it to her . "Quick . "
He turned back and looked at Xuxu who was carrying two big bags of groceries and was almost reaching the lift lobby .
After paying the bill, Yan Rusheng immediately caught up with Xuxu . He held his groceries bags with one hand and grabbed Xuxu's shopping bags over from her . He shouldered all the weight for her .
