After entering the supermarket, the two first went to the daily necessities section to pick out slippers.

Xiao Wanqing looked at several rows of slippers on the shelf, smiled and asked Lin Xian, "What style and color do you like?"

Lin Xian casually took a pair of slippers from the shelf to check, the corners of his lips curved up, and asked Xiao Wanqing slyly, "Aunt Xiao, guess what color you think I like, what kind?"

Xiao Wanqing smiled slightly, glanced up and down, and reached out without hesitation to take down a pair of flat slippers with an anime Totoro pattern from the highest place. She waved the slippers in her hand in front of Lin Xian, and said with a smile, "I guess you like this."

Lin Xian stared at the slippers in Xiao Wanqing's hands, and was really surprised. She took the slippers and said pleasantly, "This pair is so cute!" After finishing speaking, she raised her head and asked Xiao Wanqing with sparkling eyes, "Aunt Xiao, how did you guess that?"

Xiao Wanqing looked at her childish smiling face, and felt a little happy, so she didn't pretend to be mysterious, and said frankly: "I bought you a birthday present when I was young, and asked your mother what you like, and she said you like Totoro. I just tidy up clothes with you When I found out that you had a few T-shirts with Totoro patterns on them, I guessed that your preferences might not have changed."

Lin Xian hugged the slippers and said, "You remember everything that happened so long ago."

Xiao Wanqing said "Yes" softly, blinked her eyes, and suddenly her smile deepened, and she added meaningfully: "I remember more than this about you."

Lin Xian seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and his smile froze suddenly. She hastily snatched the shopping basket from Xiao Wanqing's hand, put the slippers into the shopping basket, walked forward quickly, and changed the subject to greet Xiao Wanqing: "Aunt Xiao, let's go shopping for other things."

Seeing her running away figure, Xiao Wanqing couldn't help laughing.

The two stayed in the daily necessities area for a while, bought teacups, shampoo, shower gel, sanitary napkins, etc., before moving to the fresh fruits and vegetables area.

When buying sanitary napkins, Lin Xian was somewhat shy and twitchy. Although it has been several years, Zhou Qin usually prepares these things for her. This is the first time she has come to purchase by herself. She glanced at the strangers she had chosen left and right, always feeling awkward and inexplicable.

Xiao Wanqing was generous, carefully looking up and down each brand and model. Standing beside Lin Xian, she turned her head and saw Lin Xian's slightly sluggish movements. Without thinking too much, she understood the girl's thoughts. She smoothed the falling hair behind her ears, and asked Lin Xian in a warm voice: "What brand do you usually use, soft cotton or mesh?"

Lin Xian exposed her white and small ears, which turned red all over. After hesitating for a while, she lowered her voice and answered Xiao Wanqing: "Sophie, it's from the Internet."

Xiao Wanqing looked gentle, touched Lin Xian's little red ears, and thoughtfully said: "I'll make a note, I'll buy it later." After that, she carefully identified it, and took a few packs of daily necessities, A few packs of night use and the extended version of night use were put into the shopping basket in Lin Xian's hand. Then, she reached out and clasped the handle of the shopping basket, and said with a smile, "Let me carry it."

Lin Xian didn't want to let go at first, but when he saw the few bags of pink Sophie exposed to the public's sight, he finally let go of the shopping basket and handed over the shopping basket to Xiao Wanqing. She thought for a while, and suggested, "I'll get another basket later, specially for the vegetables I'll buy later."

Xiao Wanqing nodded with a smile, and echoed: "Okay, I remember there are supplies near the fresh food area. The fruits and vegetables may be a bit heavy, and I will have to work hard for you then."

The girl's dark eyes were filled with a clear smile, and she answered straight away: "It's okay, I'm strong."

When we arrived at the fresh fruit and vegetable section, Xiao Wanqing asked Lin Xian seriously: "Do you have any taboos? What's your taste preference?"

Lin Xian frowned subtly—except for fruits and some common and characteristic vegetables, she could hardly put the raw ones on the cooked ones that she usually ate. She thought about it and said, "I can eat everything except coriander and durian. However, I can't eat anything that is too salty or too spicy."

Xiao Wanqing frowned, and said slightly approvingly: "It's good not to be picky about food." Seeing that the eggplant looked good, she reached out to grab it, but Lin Xian interrupted softly: "I... I don't like eggplant very much. "

Xiao Wanqing paused, then silently turned her hand in a different direction, and her eyes fell on the water bamboo next to the eggplant.

Lin Xian hesitated for a while, then murmured, "I don't think wild rice stems are very tasty..."

Xiao Wanqing froze again. She withdrew her hand, looked at Lin Xian softly, and laughed dumbfoundedly. Lin Xian blinked embarrassedly, walked quickly to Xiao Wanqing's side, pointed to Tomato, and said, "I think this is pretty good."

The station in front of the tomato section was full of people buying vegetables, and Xiao Wanqing had no place to stand. So she stood on Lin Xian's left rear side, got close to Lin Xian, and reached out to pick tomatoes. While picking tomatoes, she naturally smiled softly and whispered in Lin Xian's ear: "Xianxian, don't be embarrassed, we are a family, you can treat me as your dear aunt, if you have any preferences and needs, You can be frank with me."

Lin Xian felt a gentle warm air blowing past his ears, and felt that the tip of his heart seemed to be scratched lightly by a feather, which was crisp and itchy. In the next second, Xiao Wanqing seemed to have noticed something, and almost imperceptibly moved back a little, pulling a little distance away from Lin Xian.

Lin Xian felt that Xiao Wanqing seemed to move, and then her breath was far away.

She nodded, and responded to Xiao Wanqing softly: "En."

Most of the people who came to buy vegetables were middle-aged women in their thirties and forties, some with children, and a few with their husbands on their arms. Xiao Wanqing's appearance is outstanding no matter where she is, but here she is even more beautiful and out of place.

Xiao Wanqing was concentrating on picking apples, slightly bowed her head to the side, her hair slipped down, slightly covering her beautiful face, adding a bit of hazy beauty that was still holding a pipa half-hidden.

Lin Xian noticed that several men's gazes fell on Xiao Wanqing, and looked up and down Xiao Wanqing several times in an extremely impolite manner.

She stood beside Xiao Wanqing calmly, blocking those scrutinizing sights, and frowning, she glared at those men several times one by one, causing them to turn their eyes away in embarrassment and guilt.

She turned her head and stared at Xiao Wanqing, looking at her soft and gentle face, her peaceful and peaceful smile, thinking of the obsessive and obscene expressions of those men just now, she laughed a little.

Xiao Wanqing heard her laughter, raised her head and saw Lin Xian looking at herself without blinking, and asked a little strangely: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xian helped Xiao Wanqing lift up the plastic bag containing the apples, and replied with a smile: "I just thought of my mother's carelessness."

Xiao Wanqing was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Lin Xian explained frankly: "My mother is often worried that you will not have a home at this age, and always wants to introduce you to a partner. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to choose a partner in a few years. I think she is really worrying about it." She She smiled and said sincerely: "Aunt Xiao, you are so gentle and beautiful, whoever can marry you must have found a treasure. How can it be difficult to choose a partner, only you choose others, who would not want to marry you?"

Even though Xiao Wanqing was always calm, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she praised her. She reached out and squeezed Lin Xian's chin, and said with a shy smile, "Did you steal someone's honey just now, your mouth is so sweet."

Lin Xian smiled so much that he showed his cute little white teeth, and said generously, "everything I said is true and comes from the bottom of my heart."

Xiao Wanqing laughed softly, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Poor mouth." She turned around, walked towards the grape stall, took two steps, then stopped suddenly, turned back to look at Lin Xian, the water His eyes were full of smiles, and he joked: "Many years ago, there was a little girl who cried in front of many people and said she wanted to marry me. If you said that I got married, what would that little girl do? "

After seeing Xiao Wanqing, Lin Xian was afraid that Xiao Wanqing would mention this matter to her again. When Xiao Wanqing asked at this time, she immediately wanted to find a hole in the ground in shame. However, she felt that she couldn't show her timidity, so she pretended to be calm, cleared her throat and said calmly: "I think that little girl should have forgotten about it long ago."

Xiao Wanqing frowned, neither objecting nor agreeing, just said "Oh?" slightly, half a smile but not a smile.

Under her gaze, Lin Xian felt his face getting hotter and hotter. Finally, she couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment. She stomped her feet and said coquettishly, "Don't mention this matter again."

Seeing this, Xiao Wanqing couldn't help but burst out laughing, her warm eyes flooded like water.

Lin Xian hugged Xiao Wanqing's arm, shook it lovingly, and said softly and coquettishly: "Aunt Xiao, we all forgot about this matter, you don't even know how long I was laughed at by everyone because of this matter."

Xiao Wanqing couldn't bear her coquettishness, her expression softened and she surrendered: "Okay, I won't mention it, and whoever mentions it in the future will be a puppy, okay?"

Lin Xian was satisfied, hugged Xiao Wanqing's arm, rubbed it vigorously, and said happily: "Aunt Xiao, you are so kind."

Xiao Wanqing scratched her nose and said with a broken smile, "Little clever ghost."

Lin Xian turned her beautiful eyes like black jewels, and seeing that the situation was so good, she took advantage of the situation and made another request, saying: "Aunt Xiao, can I call you by your name in private from now on? I think Auntie will call you Lao gone."

Xiao Wanqing didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "I'm already an old aunt."

Lin Xian disagreed, pouted, and retorted: "Nonsense, an old aunt like my mother."

Xiao Wanqing was amused by her poor mother, and teased her: "You talk about your mother like that, I'm going to give her a small report."

Lin Xian smiled obediently: "I know you won't. Okay, can I call your name."

Xiao Wanqing gently helped her lift the slipped suspenders back to her shoulders, and softly agreed: "You can call me whatever you like, it doesn't matter."

Lin Xian got what he wanted, with crooked eyebrows and smiling eyes, looking clever and stupid.

Xiao Wanqing picked out the grapes, took the shopping basket from Lin Xian, and walked to the weighing place together with all the ingredients that had just been picked that needed to be weighed. Lin Xian didn't follow her. Halfway through, Xiao Wanqing suddenly heard someone calling her name behind her: "Xiao Wanqing..." The voice was clear and clear like a girl's.

Xiao Wanqing suddenly felt that a certain unknown string in her heart was gently plucked by something, but it calmed down again without a trace in an instant.

When she turned around, she saw Lin Xian standing ten steps away from her, tilting her head and looking at her with a smile.

Lin Xian walked towards Xiao Wanqing step by step, chewing on the three words "Xiao Wanqing", with a warm smile that seemed to be able to melt a thousand miles of ice: "Xiao Wanqing... your name is really nice."

Xiao Wanqing looked at her, infected by her smile, unexpectedly felt her heart warm up inexplicably.

She allowed Lin Xian to reach out and hook her arm, showing a gentle smile, and said to Lin Xian, "Let's go, we're going to pay the bill after weighing, and we're ready to go home."
