Wendy took a bunch of spinach and threw it into the shopping cart.
When she got all the vegetables she wanted, the redness on her face finally faded away. When they was about to arrive the cashier, Charlie suddenly stopped her.
"Wait a moment."
Wendy was puzzled. "What?"
Charlie frowned slightly and twitched his lips, "One more thing."
"...What's that?" Wendy looked at the cart and checked.
Charlie remained silent and walked towards another goods shelf.
Wendy had to follow him. But when they got there, she wanted to bury her face in the shopping cart.
There were various kinds of colorful small boxes on the shelf. The slogans on them including "Ultra Thin Free", "Tickle me" and so on. It was really eyecatching but also embarrassing. Wendy was in a panic.
Charlie raised his eyebrows at her and asked, "Choose one you like?"
"I, I don't care...all good" Wendy stammered, not knowing where to put her eyes on.
"It's not only for me, but also for you." Charlie picked up one slowly.
"...I said all good!1' Wendy's face began to burn again.
Her hands were sweating on the cart. She always felt that people passing by were staring at her. She was going crazy.
After a while, Charlie was still selecting with great interest. She bit her lips and said, "Charlie Hogg, have you done?"
"Almost." He picked some and threw them into the cart.
The next second, Wendy rushed to the cashier with the shopping cart.
When she decided to stay with him at the very first, she had been to the convenience store to buy the condoms. She still felt awkward when she thought of it.
They were about to arrive at the cashier, when Charlie caught up with her, Wendy put the cart into his hands and said, "Er... I'll wait for you outside!"
After that, she ran away quickly.
Wendy walked out from another way and waited for him by the escalator. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her best friend Emily.
Thinking that she hadn't told her that she wouldn't go back tonight, she hurried to pick it up.
When Charlie came out after paying the bill, Wendy had hung up, but she seemed to be a little absent-minded.
They took the escalator to the underground parking lot, which was really slow.
Wendy's eyes fixed on the escalator, and Emily's words were still echoing in her ears.
"Anyway, you should thank Mr. Hogg. If he didn't come that morning, how could your father, your stepmother, and your sister let you go easily? I think they might beat you hard, and maybe you'll be lying in the hospital now!"
"You should thank him for his help. You know what he wants most?"
"What's more, I don't ask you to put on the sexy lingerie and show on the street. You only need to show him. Don't be afraid!"
"Wendy, you should be grateful!"
Her shoulder was touched by someone, and Wendy came back to her senses in a panic.
"Why are you in a daze?" Charlie frowned.
Wendy shook her head and answered, "Er, nothing..."
