Chapter 412: Invisible Technique
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
"One thing is shop around," Jiang Muye said without thinking. "That carrot just now wasn't bad, but we don't buy groceries often, so we don't know the market price. Besides, I think the carrots at some of the other stalls look a bit fresher. You have to look at a few places before you can decide which one to buy from."
When Leng Ruoli heard what Jiang Muye said, her eyes instantly lit up. "I learned something~!"
So she copied what Jiang Muye had just done and haggled with the vendor. Watching her trying so hard to act familiar, Jiang Muye could not help but wear a smile.
He really did like the way she fit into everyday life.
She really was like an adorable Baymax, cute and round.
Haha, of course not round on the outside. It was just that feeling of wanting to squish her, of wanting to tease her a good bit.
After shopping around, Leng Ruoli grinned and pointed at one stall. "This one has the best value. We'll get it here."
Jiang Muye nodded. "Alright."
"Then what about the other hidden technique you haven't told me about yet? What is it?" Leng Ruoli's desire to learn was now overflowing.
Jiang Muye's lips curved up. "Guess."
Leng Ruoli instinctively picked up her phone.
"Alright, planning to cheat, are we." Jiang Muye grabbed her phone.
Leng Ruoli said pitifully, "Teacher said if there's anything you don't understand, ask Baidu."
"Can you use Baidu during an exam?" Jiang Muye snorted.
Leng Ruoli replied smugly, "Then I'll just secretly use my phone and not get caught."
"Alright, I've really been a bad influence on you. Are you still a good student at a prestigious university?" Jiang Muye laughed out loud.
Leng Ruoli got a little proud. "So you know you've been a bad influence on me?"
"Listen to that tone, blaming me now. I really get shot while lying down," Jiang Muye rubbed Leng Ruoli's hair. "Your husband teaching you is your honor."
Leng Ruoli nodded like a pecking chicken. "Yeah yeah, then I'll be a bad influence on you later too."
"Haha, how are you going to be a bad influence on me?" Jiang Muye smiled meaningfully and blew a breath by Leng Ruoli's ear. Her little face instantly turned bright red, and she pushed Jiang Muye with her small hand. "Get back to the point. What is it exactly? If you don't say, I'm really going to look it up on Baidu."
Jiang Muye chuckled. "You won't find it. This is the wisdom of the common folk!"
Leng Ruoli smiled back. "Then I'll go ask Google~!"
"Haha, you're pretty good at drawing inferences." Jiang Muye ruffled Leng Ruoli's hair. Leng Ruoli hugged Jiang Muye's waist and gently swayed. "Just tell me~"
"You pick the carrots first, I'll reveal it to you in a bit," Jiang Muye said mysteriously.
"Okay~"
Jiang Muye watched as Leng Ruoli pretended to be an old hand at picking carrots.
Except she was still quite troubled, not in a hurry to put the carrots in the bag.
"Do you know how to pick them?" Jiang Muye rested his head on Leng Ruoli's shoulder and began to ask her.
Leng Ruoli mumbled, "Just pick the ones that look good."
"You want this kind with a brighter color, orange and glossy, that means it's fresher. Then you want a smaller core so it's sweeter." Jiang Muye whispered by Leng Ruoli's ear.
Leng Ruoli praised happily, "How do you know everything?"
"I've gone grocery shopping with my mom, after all." Jiang Muye shook his head somewhat helplessly. "I learn it after seeing it a lot."
She really was too cute. But thinking about it, it made sense. Leng Ruoli had been a Young Miss who never touched housework since she was little, raised in comfort and luxury, with servants helping her do everything.
It was only natural she couldn't cook, let alone come grocery shopping. This was her first time.
"Then I'll come grocery shopping with you from now on," Leng Ruoli said shyly. "We're going to live together in the future, after all."
The way she said something like that in her shy tone nearly made Jiang Muye's young heart go pitter-patter.
He had always been thick-skinned, but he just couldn't handle Leng Ruoli's inadvertent flirting.
She was really too soft and too cute.
Jiang Muye held Leng Ruoli tighter, pressing his face against her back. Feeling the slight tremble of her body, he got excited along with her.
Jiang Muye immersed himself in her faint fragrance, watching her obediently and charmingly pick carrots the way he had just taught her. He really felt that spending the rest of his life with someone like this would be a warm yet comfortable feeling.
Jiang Muye felt himself very lucky.
It was all because of a kind act six years ago that he had saved his future wife. Fate was truly wonderful. If he had hesitated back then, he might have really missed Leng Ruoli.
"Done~" After picking the carrots, Leng Ruoli said very obediently to Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye took a look. The carrots she had picked were all of good quality. He was very satisfied. "Good girl. I'll reward you with a piece of pork rib when we get back."
"You treat me so stingily, just one piece of pork rib?" Leng Ruoli glanced at Jiang Muye sideways. "Stingy."
Jiang Muye laughed heartily. "Fine, my fault. Then I'll give you two pieces of pork rib."
"No, how come there aren't three pieces of pork rib?"
"Ah, just three pieces of pork rib!" Leng Ruoli's little eye-roll expression was even cuter than the Faceless Kid.
Jiang Muye pinched Leng Ruoli's cheek and joked, "Wasn't that your own suggestion? Now you're unhappy with it? Sigh, you really are easy to raise."
Leng Ruoli pouted her red lips and looked at Jiang Muye pitifully.
Jiang Muye couldn't stand her gaze attack the most, so he sighed. "Fine, I'll give you the whole plate of pork rib!"
"Thank you, dear~" Leng Ruoli was overjoyed, bouncing around in Jiang Muye's arms.
Seeing this, Jiang Muye's mood couldn't help but lift.
She was a little dummy, and a glutton too, satisfied so easily.
The owner, having eaten a mouthful of dog food, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Doing business, and ending up as a third wheel.
"Um, still buying groceries?" the owner asked awkwardly.
Realizing she and Jiang Muye had been too sweet just now and had ignored the owner, Leng Ruoli's little face turned red. "Buy buy buy!"
The owner weighed it and said, "Eight yuan fifty."
Leng Ruoli was just about to take it when she heard Jiang Muye's crisp words. "Eight yuan. Round it down."
Leng Ruoli stared wide-eyed at Jiang Muye.
He haggled off fifty cents?
The owner said pitifully, "We don't even make a profit. It's obviously already cheap for you. You don't know how hard this year has been. I work from dawn to dusk just to earn a few coins…"
"We can go without profit, but the owner never takes a loss." The profit margin in this was huge. It was impossible for him to start losing money just from rounding off the change.
Besides, this owner's phone was the latest Apple 13 Plus, he smoked Liqun, and his keychain was for the newest BMW.
Crying poor to him was too fake. Moreover, vegetable prices were quite a bit cheaper than before, so the owner's cost of stocking up was even lower.
