After probing Xia Lin's memories, Qi Shang felt somewhat guilty. It turned out that he had misunderstood Xia Lin. He felt remorseful for not trusting Xia Lin, and Qi Shang decided to make it up to Xia Lin.
Then, Xia Lin noticed that Qi Shang suddenly became very diligent. Specifically, he would rush to do the dishes after every meal, and even tried to wash clothes and shoes.
After this state lasted for nearly three days, Xia Lin couldn't hold back anymore. "Did you do something to let me down?"
Qi Shang reacted quite strongly. His chopsticks dropped onto the table. "What are you talking about! How could I do anything to let you down!"
Seeing Qi Shang getting riled up, Xia Lin smiled to comfort him. "Why are you so nervous? I'm just joking. But if you haven't done anything to let me down, why have you been acting so strangely these two days?"
Qi Shang thought for a moment and quickly found an excuse. "I just thought it was so hard for you to do all the housework alone before. I wanted to help you. I'm doing this out of kindness!"
Seeing the sincerity in Qi Shang's eyes, Xia Lin believed him. "You're not good at doing housework. Let me do it in the future. But if you really want to help me, it's okay to wash the dishes or shoes occasionally." If Xia Lin were still just Qi Shang's nanny and tutor, he wouldn't let Qi Shang touch any housework. But now that they were a couple, Xia Lin didn't want to spoil his lover without any principles. So Qi Shang should learn to do all kinds of housework... After all, when Xia Lin left in the future, Qi Shang should be able to take care of himself!
After dinner, Xia Lin asked Qi Shang to stay at home to do the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. He was going to the supermarket. The fridge was empty. Before leaving, Xia Lin also said, "It's the weekend today. I can take my time shopping in the supermarket. I'm not just buying food. I'll buy all the things that are missing at home at once!"
"Can you handle carrying so many things by yourself? Do you want me to go with you?" After all, although Xia Lin was 21, he still didn't have a driver's license, so it would be difficult for him to carry the things.
"It's okay. I can take a taxi right outside the supermarket. I'm not an old man. Don't you remember my superpower is great strength? I'm leaving. You tidy up at home properly. Don't break anything in the kitchen."
"I won't! Don't underestimate me!"
By the time Qi Shang finished tidying up the kitchen and watched TV for a while, an hour and a half had passed. Usually, Xia Lin would have already come back from the supermarket in an hour and a half. After all, the supermarket wasn't far away. It would only take about 20 or 30 minutes to go there and back by taxi. But thinking that it was the weekend today and Xia Lin had said he would take more time shopping, Qi Shang wasn't worried. He picked up his phone and started playing games.
But after Qi Shang played two rounds of the game and another hour was about to pass, Xia Lin still hadn't come back. This made Qi Shang feel strange and worried. Could it really take two hours to shop in the supermarket? Did Xia Lin go somewhere else, like buying clothes? He'd better make a phone call to ask.
"Beep beep beep..." The phone couldn't get through. Qi Shang's expression immediately darkened. Even the items in the living room started to shake. Qi Shang immediately sent a text message to Shu Yao: Xia Lin is missing. Help!
Qi Shang instantly disappeared from where he was. He checked the supermarket but couldn't find Xia Lin. He checked the supermarket surveillance, but Xia Lin wasn't in the surveillance footage. Could it be the taxi? But there were so many taxis in the whole city. How could he check? Maybe because he was too anxious and angry, Qi Shang, who had lost his rationality, felt at a loss! But his belief was very firm, which was to find Xia Lin!
