Elaine couldn't make Oliver change his mind, so she and Oliver walked into the supermarket that wasn't very big.
Half of the people in the supermarket were living in the neighborhood. Even if some of them didn't know Elaine, they had met her before.
...
Elaine looked at Oliver who was pushing the shopping cart beside her, her forehead covered with cold sweat.
A lot of people were looking at them!
"Elaine, is this your boyfriend? He looks so handsome. He seems quite rich."
"Elaine, are you getting married? Your future husband looks pretty good."
"Elaine, your boyfriend looks pretty fit. He looks like a movie star!"
Some familiar neighbors began to make small talk.
Of course, they all glanced at Oliver.
How smooth his skin was...!
What charming eyes...!
His lips were pink, making people want to kiss him....
Elaine really couldn't hold on any longer.
Cold sweat trickled down her cheeks.
"Oliver."
"Huh?" Oliver slowly looked up at the girl beside him. "What?"
Elaine pouted and said,
"How about I push the cart?"
That dirty shopping cart did not match a perfectly-groomed man like Oliver.
"Let me do it. It is what I should do as a gentleman. Just choose what to buy. By the way, let me see the list of things you need."
Hearing that, Elaine immediately took her mind off the cart and began to rummage in her pockets.
"Thank you for bringing it to my attention. The list is very important."
Elaine found the shopping list and handed it to Oliver.
At the sight of it, Oliver couldn't help but laugh.
"Elaine, your handwriting is so bad.... It looks like little bugs crawling."
Elaine was a little miffed.
There was nothing she could do about it. She has tried very hard to improve her handwriting. Although her handwriting wasn't the best, it was not bad.
How could it look like little bugs in Oliver’s eyes?
She was very depressed....
Elaine didn’t know what to say.
"What is this? Phonetic transcriptions?"
...
Oliver frowned and looked at the list seriously.
Elaine was shocked and beads of sweat immediately dripped down.
It was really awkward.
She suddenly forgot how to spell lettuce. She was very anxious, so she used phonetic transcriptions....
"That's ... lettuce...."
"Lettuce? Elaine, you're really interesting. It’s so cute."
Oliver could no longer hold back convulsive laughter. He felt sincerely happy.
Elaine's face darkened as she puffed out her cheeks.
Damn it!
What was Oliver laughing at?
It upset Elaine!
‘So what if my writing looks like bugs? So what if I use phonetic transcriptions?’
Didn’t Oliver know he would get ugly if he laughed too much?
He even laughed his head off.... How could a handsome man laugh like this?
According to the list, they went to buy things.
They looked like newlyweds.
When Elaine was choosing the meat and vegetables, she put the awkwardness in the background and focused on distinguishing the good from the bad.
"I don't want this one. It is stale. I want that one. It's the one below. Yes, yes, it's that one."
"We can’t take these vegetables. Oliver, you see, the leaves have withered. They are not fresh anymore."
"Oliver, you go buy the bean sauce. Remember to check the date of production. Take the newest one!"
"Do you like mushrooms? Shall we buy some?"
Elaine was so verbose.
Oliver smiled and did whatever Elaine's said.
When Elaine paid the bill, her eyes widened in shock.
"We have spent so much! I don't think I bought a lot of things. How come it is over 400 yuan?"
She hated to part with her money....
Oliver took out his wallet and said in surprise,
"So cheap! To buy so many things only cost 400. Miss, I wonder if you made a mistake adding up the bill."
