57 Chapter 57 (1/2)
The next morning, when Su Le got up, Wei Chu had already prepared breakfast. While she had her breakfast, Su Le thought that she was fortunate to have a boyfriend like Wei Chu.
For a woman who couldn''t cook anything tasty, Su Le was very calm. It was already 10 am when she finished her breakfast and changed her outfit. As expected, sleeping in was something that wasted a lot of time.
During the national holidays, many supermarkets were doing promotions so there were many people shopping. Su Le walked at the front while Wei Chu pushed the shopping cart as he followed behind her. They walked like this between the aisles.
”This brand has a new flavour of crisps, let's buy one to try!” ”That brand of milk tea tastes really good, let's buy a box!” ”This brand of beef jerky is really chewy, let's buy a bag!”
As Wei Chu followed behind with the shopping cart, he watched as the pile of snacks grew as they were added into the cart. He was gradually becoming suspicious about what Su Le regularly ate on a daily basis. All these had little to no nutritional value and it was not good for one's health either if one ate too much of these types of food.
When they reached the fresh vegetable section, Su Le looked to the left and right, but she didn't know what to choose. In the end, she silently passed this difficult task over to Wei Chu.
Wei Chu's actions in picking vegetables were very nice to look at. Fresh bok choy, potatoes and all other kinds of vegetables were weighed and placed into the cart by Wei Chu. Su Le suspected that Wei Chu was buying days worth of ingredients.
At the fresh meat section, Wei Chu got some lamb chop, pork, and chicken wings. At this point, Su Le finally realized that something was off as she stared at the pile of food, ”Why are buying so much food?”
”I invited a few friends over for a meal,” Wei Chu smiled at Su Le and placed a rabbit leg into the cart.
Su Le still had some suspicion as she had previously heard from Wei Chu's friends that Wei Chu didn't frequently take the initiative to invite other people over for a meal. So, why did he suddenly decided to invite a few friends over today? Su Le was stumped.
”This!” Su Le pointed to a packet of enoki mushroom. She pulled on Wei Chu's sleeve, ”Buy this.”
Wei Chu grabbed a bunch and asked, ”Stir-fried enoki mushrooms, should we cook them with fish, or to make a soup with them?”
”Pick whichever you're best at.” Since Su Le understood that they were going to buy the thing she wanted to eat so she let out a satisfied smile, ”I'm not picky.”
At the side, a few aunties who were also shopping smiled as they saw the interactions between the young, intimate couple. They also felt rueful that guys currently had a lot of patience because when they were younger themselves, how many men at that time knew how to cook?
The couple carried on shopping and they finally bought everything they needed. On the way to the cashier, they met a university classmate of Su Le's. Seeing Wei Chu acting just like a virtuous family husband, Su Le's classmate froze for a while.
”Su Le, Sen … Senior Wei,” the pitiful female classmate stuttered. ”What a coincidence.”
Wei Chu looked at her innocently and greeted the female, ”Hello, junior classmate.”
The female classmate smiled brightly as she watched them resume walking. When the couple was far away, she instantly took her mobile phone out and called her close friend.
”Ping Ping ah, guess who I just saw… God Wei and Su Le were together just now … I know them being together is not anything new but they just had romantic interactions… It's true. I just saw them buying ingredients together. God Wei was extremely gentle to Su Le, ah …”
Pretty soon, many people from B University knew that Wei Chu was deeply in love with Su Le and he was very gentle to her. As this rumor was spread, it gradually changed into the rumor that Wei Chu was henpecked and Su Le was a tigress. No matter how many people the rumor was passed on to, it ended up with this version. But the one thing that was for certain was that God Wei's love for Su Le would never change.
—————-
When Wei Chu and Su Le carried the items from their shopping session back home, a few familiar people were already standing at the front door. Su Le had seen these people before. It was Chen Xu, Liang Guang, Tang Yao, and Cao Yu Dong etc. But what surprised Su Le was the fact that Chen Yue was present as well.
Su Le took the keys from Wei Chu and opened the door. Chen Yue beamed as she walked next to Su Le, ”I'm really lucky. It's my first visit and I can already try the great God's cooking.”
Tang Yao asked in curiosity, ”Why didn't you think it would be Su Le who's cooking?”
Chen Yue sighed, ”Su Le can only make two dishes: stir-fry bok choy and spicy potatoes. The only other thing that she can make well is instant noodles.” Then, she pointed to the bags of ingredients that Wei Chu was carrying, ”Do you think Su Le can make anything from those?”
Su Le opened the door and rolled her eyes at Chen Yue while changing out of her shoes into slippers, ”If you carry on talking rubbish, you can just have plain boiled rice for lunch.”
”Ai, great God, Su Le doesn't want any dishes for lunch. What do you think?” Chen Yue looked sorrowfully at Wei Chu.
Wei Chu smiled, ”It's up to Xiao Le to decide.”
”Great God, you have fallen,” Chen Yue entered the house and, like the owners, changed her shoes. She looked at Su Le with a gaze that a mother would have when her daughter married out of the family, ”Xiao Le Le, don't think that you can be cocky now that you have great God backing you.”
Su Le brought some melon seeds and other snacks into the room. She ignored Chen Yue as she invited the other guests to sit down.
”Stay with your friends and chat. I'm fine by myself,” Wei Chu glanced at his friends, who had no idea what a visitor was supposed to do. He laughed and took the bags into the kitchen.
Tang Yao, who was cracking a walnut open, shook her head and sighed, ”Look at how hardworking Wei Chu has become now that he has Su Le as his girlfriend.” Then, she nudged her husband and said, ”Watch and learn.”
