I wish you'd suffer to death

After the meal, Su Qiu picked up the bill and swiped her card without hesitation.

Shen Yi watched from the side, muttering to himself:

Why pretend to be rich? He's just Qiu Yi's boss.

In terms of wealth, they certainly can't compare to me.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that he might not necessarily lose to Su Qiu, and his confidence grew a bit stronger.

Su Qiu had no idea what Shen Yi was thinking. After paying the bill, she led him into the mall.

She remembered that she seemed to have torn up several of Shen Yi's clothes.

Although she knew he had no shortage of clothes, Su Qiu had her own principles.

If you break something, you have to pay for it yourself.

As for what kind of compensation to receive, that's naturally up to her.

Shen Yi followed behind her, looking unwilling:

"Hey, where are you taking me? My whole body aches."

Su Qiu stopped and turned to look at him, asking seriously, "Should I carry you?"

Shen Yi, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately refused: "Who wants you to carry me!"

"Oh," Su Qiu nodded, her tone flat, "So you want a hug?"

"Shut up!"

Shen Yi's face turned red with anger, and he strode forward, his neck stiff with rage.

However, there was a hint of unnatural stiffness in his steps.

Damn woman!

Su Qiu watched his sullen back, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, and quickly followed after him.

Shen Yi had never gone shopping with anyone before.

Lin Wei always arranged everything he needed for daily life, delivering it directly to his home, saving him the trouble of choosing anything.

This was the first time she had gone shopping with someone, and the person next to her was Su Qiu.

A mix of awkwardness and inexplicable joy welled up inside me.

There was also an undisguised curiosity; his eyes couldn't help but dart around.

The mall was bustling with people, especially young couples.

They were all snuggled together.

Whether they're strolling hand in hand or whispering and laughing together, their affectionate behavior is enough to make anyone's eyes water.

As Shen Yi looked at the book, a thought suddenly struck him, and he couldn't help but think of himself and Su Qiu.

What are they anyway?

Couple?

It doesn't seem quite right.

friends with benefits?

Thinking about it that way, it seems pretty much the same.

Who cares? Why think so much?

Su Qiu once said that she only wanted herself.

That means that I currently possess her.

Su Qiu won't run away.

Even if they run away, they will come back.

Shen Yi shook his head and suddenly noticed an ice cream shop not far away, and an idea popped into his mind.

He wanted to eat ice cream with Su Qiu.

"Su Qiu!"

He turned around and looked at her with an air of self-righteousness, as if he were announcing some major decision.

"What are you doing?" Su Qiu raised an eyebrow at him.

"I want ice cream," Shen Yi said matter-of-factly.

Su Qiu was amused by his appearance and scoffed:

"Go ahead and eat it. I'm not your mother, why should I stop you from eating ice cream?"

Shen Yi was angered by her sharp words again.

"You... Hmph!"

The man, his cheeks puffed out, turned and walked towards the ice cream shop, angrily buying two.

One of them specifically asked the clerk to add extra bitter chocolate.

Secretly, I thought to myself: I hope you suffer to death!

He shoved the spiked ice cream into Su Qiu's hand and said curtly:

"eat!"

Su Qiu paused for a moment, then took the bag and took a big bite, her face showing no particular expression.

He simply said, "Thanks."

Shen Yi was stunned, his eyes wide open.

She actually said thank you?

This reaction was completely different from what he had expected.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

I could only reluctantly take a bite of the ice cream in my hand. The sweet taste melted on my tongue, but I felt a little awkward.

The two didn't speak for a moment, and just walked side by side in the mall.

The surrounding noise seemed to be separated by a layer, and a subtle quiet permeated the air.

Shen Yi secretly glanced at Su Qiu beside him, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

This looks like a couple who have feelings for each other but haven't made it clear.

It carried a flutter of inexplicable excitement, and a secret sweetness.

Just then, the flow of people in front of me suddenly increased.

The pedestrians, in twos and threes, huddled together, their pace slowing considerably.

Shen Yi subconsciously moved closer to Su Qiu, as if afraid of being separated by the crowd.

Before he could even stand up straight...

Su Qiu suddenly reached out and took his hand, gently pulling him closer to her to avoid an auntie pushing a shopping cart who was walking towards them.

Shen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, but he still managed a stiff snort:

"Don't hold my hand!"

He said that, but he didn't move his hand, letting Su Qiu hold it.

They even tightened their belts a little.

To everyone's surprise, Su Qiu listened without saying a word.

She flung his hand away with a "whoosh," and continued walking forward without stopping.

Shen Yi froze on the spot, his smile frozen, his eyes full of question marks: ? ?

How could she really shake him off?

Shen Yi cursed inwardly, "Damn woman."

But he didn't stop walking and quickly followed.

Then, looking at Su Qiu, he stubbornly said:

"At least you have some self-awareness, knowing I don't want to be led by you, so you quickly let go."

Su Qiu was too lazy to argue with him and casually replied, "Mm."

She felt that Shen Yi was like a little child.

Xiao Xitian said, "The villain suffered in his childhood and was forced to grow up. He may look and think he's mature, but sometimes he's still a child."

"Sigh, my little villain, I pity you! But I have absolutely no pity for you being 'caught' by the host!"

"Child, that's the path you must take!"

Xiaoxitian performed in a self-absorbed, immersive way.

Su Qiu remained silent.

This nonchalant attitude infuriated Shen Yi.

He took a big bite of ice cream, which made his teeth go numb from the cold, and he gasped for breath.

In Shen Yi's mind: Damn woman! Damn woman! Damn woman!

Xiao Xitian mentally complained:

"Host, this villain is too arrogant, isn't he?"

He might say he doesn't want to hold hands, but he's probably secretly delighted. You should just grab his hand and see if he still dares to argue!

Su Qiu glanced at Shen Yi, who was sulking beside her, and replied indifferently:

"I'm afraid his hands will sweat and get my hands dirty."

Xiao Xitian: "...What a boring guy."

With a clear goal in mind, Su Qiu headed straight for the clothing section.

Shen Yi finished his ice cream in a few bites and chased after him to ask:

"Su Qiu, where are we going?"

"Buy clothes."

"Why buy clothes? Do you need clothes to wear?"

Shen Yi looked puzzled, but before he could finish his question, Su Qiu turned and disappeared into a clothing store without looking back.

He looked up and saw the words on the sign, then froze. He rushed inside, pointed at the sign, and said:

"No, you don't need this...this kind of clothing?"

It's a QQ clothing store.

Several sets of clothes with different styles were hanging on the display rack at the entrance of the store.

There is a little devil outfit with pointed horns.

There are also short skirts with perfectly low necklines, exuding a pure and alluring vibe, with lace trim that gleams softly under the lights.

Shen Yi's gaze swept over the clothes, and a scene suddenly popped into his mind uncontrollably.

Su Qiu was wearing this outfit, but he was carrying a large scythe and hacking people down.

Or he might simply raise his hand as if to slap someone—the contrast would be striking...

The more he thought about it, the funnier it seemed, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The more she laughed, the more she couldn't stop, and her shoulders kept shaking.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Qiu turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Shen Yi quickly waved his hand, suppressing his laughter:

"No, it's nothing, I just think this outfit... is quite unique."

But the funny scene was still lingering in my mind, and I couldn't suppress the smile on my face.
