Chapter 973 Does this mean Zhou Jingyan is going to his own home?
Zhou Jingyan's sudden appearance in Jiangzhou, in a sense, disrupted Su Zhenzhen's original plan.
They've really run out of ideas now.
After three meals a day, I really can't find any reliable places to eat.
"So how do you usually eat?" Zhou Jingyan asked unhurriedly.
"The secretary orders meals, and I cook them myself," Su Zhenzhen said truthfully.
Cooking is an essential skill for international students. Although it may not taste very good, it's better than not having food at all.
These words silenced Zhou Jingyan for a moment.
“Then let’s cook for ourselves.” He said succinctly, “It’s perfect, I don’t know what I want to eat right now, so let’s go to the supermarket to buy groceries and then cook when we get back.”
These words startled Su Zhenzhen for a moment.
So, does this mean Zhou Jingyan is going to her own home?
Suddenly, she felt embarrassed, or rather, embarrassed because it had all happened too quickly.
When a woman invites a man to her boudoir, it seems to carry a special sense of ambiguity and invitation.
However, it was Zhou Jingyan who brought it up first, which made it difficult for Su Zhenzhen to refuse.
There's no way to handle this matter.
"Is it inconvenient for you?" Zhou Jingyan seemed to realize something. "If it's inconvenient, that's okay. I can take you back."
This feeling is like Zhou Jingyan handing you the initiative, and if you still refuse, then you are being foolish.
Moreover, Su Zhenzhen knew that her goal was to get Zhou Jingyan, so she couldn't refuse.
"Not really, I'm just afraid Mr. Zhou will find it too troublesome," Su Zhenzhen offered a reasonable excuse. "Besides, my cooking skills might not be that great."
Just because something is edible doesn't mean it tastes good.
During the years Su Zhenzhen spent abroad, she could accept almost anything as long as she didn't eat white food.
Zhou Jingyan smiled and said, "Girls don't need to know how to cook. They all have maids at home who can do it."
These words seem to be hinting at something.
Su Zhenzhen wondered if she was overthinking things.
But now that things have come to this point, she's been quite open and honest about it.
“Okay. Shall we go to the supermarket?” Su Zhenzhen nodded.
Zhou Jingyan hummed in agreement, without objecting.
The two left the shopping district and walked towards where they had parked earlier.
Su Zhenzhen's apartment is in the city center, but not in such a noisy place. It is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, so the location is very good and the surrounding life is very convenient.
On ordinary days, Su Zhenzhen would actually prefer to go to the small market to buy groceries; she likes the lively atmosphere.
Now, considering Zhou Jingyan, she compromised and decided to go to the supermarket.
"Where do you usually buy groceries? Or do you have your aunt deliver them?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen as he drove.
Su Zhenzhen exclaimed, "I'm used to going to the market. My auntie sometimes takes me, but not always."
She was still searching for supermarkets on her phone, and the safest one was probably Sam's Club, which was a bit further away.
“Otherwise, I could go to Sam’s Club, but I’m alone, so it would be a waste to go there,” Su Zhenzhen explained.
So Sam isn't really a good fit for him either.
She rarely visits, and she doesn't really like people coming to her house. Besides Shi Sheng, she doesn't have many friends in China.
When Shi Sheng ate with her, they usually went out; both of them were lazy.
Eating out becomes a treat, and there's no need to torture yourself anymore.
“Then let’s go somewhere you’re familiar with,” Zhou Jingyan said calmly.
"Ah, I'm afraid you won't be used to it," Su Zhenzhen said honestly.
Zhou Jingyan laughed: "I'm not as difficult as you think."
Su Zhenzhen nodded and said "Oh," but she still felt that Zhou Jingyan was implying something.
Despite this, Su Zhenzhen obediently led Zhou Jingyan towards the small market she was familiar with.
The small market is actually located in the alleyway near the apartment.
So they parked the car back and walked there.
"The market is rather dirty and messy. It also smells a bit." Su Zhenzhen gave Zhou Jingyan a heads-up beforehand.
Zhou Jingyan hummed in agreement, but his attitude remained unchanged.
So Su Zhenzhen didn't say anything.
Soon, Su Zhenzhen took Zhou Jingyan to the market. The market wasn't very clean, but it was very lively.
"Miss Su is here to buy groceries." Clearly, the market vendors and Su Zhenzhen were quite familiar with each other. "The chili peppers are good today."
"Okay, Auntie, get me some." Su Zhenzhen said with a smile.
The auntie quickly weighed the items for Su Zhenzhen, then glanced at Zhou Jingyan who was following beside her.
"Is this Miss Su's boyfriend?" the aunt asked with a smile.
Zhou Jingyan neither denied nor admitted it.
Su Zhenzhen was embarrassed instead: "Please don't talk nonsense, we're friends."
"It's the same." The aunt didn't think much of it.
Su Zhenzhen felt even more embarrassed, and when she was about to pay, Zhou Jingyan scanned the code first.
This feeling is more like that of a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Su Zhenzhen coughed lightly and quickly walked towards the next store.
But under these circumstances, she quickly explained to Zhou Jingyan: "That's how the ladies are, they're very enthusiastic. Don't overthink it, they didn't mean anything by it."
"Mm." Zhou Jingyan nodded.
Su Zhenzhen didn't know what else to say.
The two bought quite a few things at the market.
The market always takes care of things anyway.
Once Su Zhenzhen arrived at the market, she wanted to eat and buy everything.
In the end, what did she buy for herself?
"That's about enough..." Su Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed.
Moreover, Zhou Jingyan was the one carrying the things, while he himself was empty-handed.
If I get down here myself, I won't be able to carry all the things, so I won't buy them.
"Let me take some," Su Zhenzhen said, extending her hand.
“It’s not like we can’t carry this little bit.” Zhou Jingyan laughed.
Su Zhenzhen nodded and said "Oh," without saying anything else.
Before leaving, she saw a vendor selling yellow soft-shelled turtles and wanted to eat boiled yellow soft-shelled turtles.
"Would you like to eat first?" Zhou Jingyan asked.
"I'd like to, but I'm not very good at cooking fish," Su Zhenzhen replied. "I want to eat boiled yellow croaker."
Actually, I'm not very good at preparing meat.
So she always had the people at the market cut it for her.
But even if you kill the fish, you still need to process it when you get home.
The thought of the fishy smell gave Su Zhenzhen a headache.
But looking at it now, she still wants to eat it.
She thought to herself, "Why don't I just order takeout?"
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it,” Zhou Jingyan suddenly said.
Su Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then passively looked at Zhou Jingyan.
Zhou Jingyan didn't say anything, but lowered his head and began to select yellow carp, choosing only the freshest and most lively ones.
The auntie standing nearby praised Zhou Jingyan a few times: "Your husband is really good. There aren't many men who would go out to buy groceries these days."
These words made Su Zhenzhen even more embarrassed.
Zhou Jingyan, on the other hand, smiled faintly, neither denying nor admitting it.
Then he gave the yellow catfish he had bought to his aunt, who calculated the cost, cleaned and packaged it, and gave it directly to Zhou Jingyan.
Su Zhenzhen didn't get a chance to participate at all.
