The supermarket is still the same supermarket as yesterday.
However, compared to last night, the supermarket in the early morning seemed more deserted, with only staff walking back and forth inside.
There is only one cashier at the checkout counter.
After Ai Liang entered the supermarket, he went straight to the living area.
When he was about to buy a three-piece bed set, a melodious voice came from behind.
"Ai Liang?"
Ai Liang heard this voice before going out. He turned around and saw Ye Qing holding a feather duster.
Ye Qing was wearing a red peaked cap and red and white supermarket work clothes. Her flowing long hair was the same as when we met the day before yesterday, tied into a ponytail with double braids trailing behind her.
The feather duster in his hand was shaking from time to time, seemingly beating the dust on the furniture.
Seeing this situation, Ai Liang finally understood that this was the supermarket she said she wanted to work in the morning.
However, this coincidence gave Ai Liang a sense of déjà vu.
First, she was rescued by Ye Qing. They were neighbors when they rented a house, and they were still classmates after school started. Then, even the supermarket where she purchased daily necessities became her place of work.
A series of coincidences seem a bit unreal.
An ordinary person would definitely think that this was fate deliberately arranged by God, but Wang Zi had learned from the past, and Ai Liang's personality had been distorted since he was a child.
So he became more suspicious of Ye Qing's attitude.
Even Ye Qing didn't take the initiative to contact him.
"What a coincidence. Are you here to buy quilts and sheets?"
Ye Qing was not surprised at all, her expression and tone were very normal.
In her opinion, the supermarket closest to home is here, and it was only a matter of time before the two of them met.
"Yeah." Ai Liang, who was holding a small notebook, hummed softly.
While observing Ye Qing's facial expressions, he explained: "I heard that there is a delivery service here, so I came here. This makes it easier to bring everything back at once and saves me from having to run back and forth several times."
"Whatever you want to buy, I can buy it with you. I'm familiar with this place."
Ye Qing seemed to be in a good mood, she threw the feather duster on the mattress.
Then he clasped his hands behind his back and leaned over to read Ai Liang's note: "You still use a notepad? How can a big boy be so thoughtful?"
“It’s just to avoid not buying all the things and traveling the wrong way.”
Ai Liang faced Ye Qing who was approaching, moved her body slightly to the side, and then stretched out the notepad in front of her.
"Leave it to me! After all, I have been working here for several years. I know the quality of everything and I guarantee your satisfaction." Ye Qing patted her chest and promised.
The waves on Ye Qing's chest swayed, and Ai Liang could only look away.
Ye Qing seemed not to notice Ai Liang's gaze and led him directly to the bedding area.
"In summer, I suggest you buy this kind of ice silk mat. Although the all-bamboo mat is cheap, it is easy to have tiny burrs after being pressed, which can hurt people. I have suffered this loss."
After speaking, Ye Qing subconsciously touched her arm.
Ye Qing patted the mat in the packaging bag and introduced: "Also, the bedding supplies in this supermarket are from the same manufacturer as those in the specialty stores outside, so you don't have to worry about quality issues."
"In comparison, there are fewer patterns and styles, but as a big boy, you probably won't care about this, right?"
Ai Liang was noncommittal in the face of Ye Qing's complaints. As long as he could sleep, the reason why he didn't speak now was just to unlock his ability.
Ai Liang had set rules for himself before, and he would never use mind-reading on people easily.
As the old saying goes, no mind reader is perfect, and he cannot wantonly invade other people's brains just because of the slightest suspicion.
Of course, not reading minds doesn't mean there is no other way. He will judge whether Ye Qing's words are malicious to him.
However, it will take a little time to complete the unblocking process.
"I recommend this kind of durable soft mattress. Compared to other models, this one has the least smell. It also comes with matching sheets and blankets. It's very warm to lay on it with a blanket in winter."
"As for quilts, it all depends on your personal preference. Some people like thicker ones, while others like fluffy ones."
Looking at Ye Qing who was talking endlessly about introducing various bedding products, Ai Liang remained silent the whole time. Even so, she did not feel embarrassed at all and could introduce each product without changing her expression.
This mentality and face feel completely unlike people of this age group.
"How about it, have you thought about it? If you don't want to buy it in the supermarket, I can also recommend two specialty stores." Ye Qing said generously.
And Ai Liang finally spoke: "These things have not been opened, right?"
"Of course not. It's been like this since it was shipped here. There are very few people who come to the supermarket to buy these things, and no one will take them apart for fun."
In Ai Liang's perception, this sentence was the truth. He did not sense any malice from Ye Qing, nor did he sense the crazy aura of the strange thing.
It is basically certain that she is innocent.
She felt like she was surrounded by good intentions just like the day before yesterday.
However, this time the kindness is only half, and the other half... is vigilance.
Be wary? Did I do anything extraordinary?
Ai Liang was a little surprised. It felt like a car owner met an old man on the road, and a passerby was about to take a video to testify for others.
As a result, the car owner thought that the passerby belonged to the old man's group and glared at the passerby. However, the old man changed his target and jumped in front of the passerby like a hungry tiger, grabbing the passerby's thigh.
Their roles instantly reversed.
The key is that Ai Liang is the owner of the car, and Ye Qing is the innocent passerby who took the photo as evidence.
But Ai Liang thought about it and suddenly understood that in his own eyes, Ye Qing was very suspicious, so from Ye Qing's perspective, was he also equally suspicious?
Just looking at these coincidences, except for the first time, the rest of the contacts seemed like he was deliberately approaching Ye Qing.
As soon as my neighbor left, I moved next door to her. I couldn't attend the local school in Nevada City, so I had to go to her school.
Thinking about it from another's perspective, the more Ai Liang looked at him, the more he felt that he was a stalker.
Ai Liang was speechless, and he silently turned off his perception ability.
Because of Ye Qing's vigilance, it felt like eating a spicy persimmon cake made from unripe persimmons.
This feeling is second only to the negative emotions when humans complain. By the way, the perception of humans when they complain is similar to that of a perverted man who is naked and wearing a lady for you to see.
It doesn't hurt much, but it's very nauseating.
After confirming that Ye Qing had no problem, Ai Liang bought all the items she recommended.
"Thank you for your patronage! Oops, in addition to my salary, I got a little extra commission today, which is great."
Ye Qing looked at Ai Liang who paid readily, and happily helped him issue invoices and pack items.
"...So you are so enthusiastic because of the commission?"
"Of course, a small part of it is because you are a nice guy."
Ye Qing stuffed the mattress and other items into a transparent packaging bag, and then made a little gesture to Ai Liang with her index finger and thumb.
