Idol, You’re Acting OOC – Intimacy is Prohibited in the Group (2)
“Have you thought about what to buy?” Xu Yifan asked calmly.
Lu Shijin looked around as he walked. “We have vegetables at home, so we should just buy some meat.”
Xu Yifan looked at a stall selling meat, asking, “What kinds?”
Lu Shijin thought for a moment, “For six people, we should get two catties of ribs, to make either rib soup or sweet and sour ribs. Two catties of meat for braised meat or as filling for dumplings. We should also buy two large carp. It would be best to buy some shrimp as well, to make fried shrimp. Oh right, we also need some fruits, since we definitely can’t go for a week without fruits. Some apples and oranges will do.”
“Ribs are 35 yuan for one cattie, 70 for two. Meat is 25 yuan for one cattie, 50 for two.” Xu Yifan became a human calculator. “Carp is 20 yuan for two, shrimp is 30 yuan for one cattie. That’s 170 yuan already, not accounting for money for fruits. We only have 400 and you’ve already spent half on a meal.”
Lu Shijin: . . .
He who takes charge knows the responsibility, he really didn’t realize that this little bit of food would cost so much!
Xu Yifan, being in charge of the money, made a decision,. “You can only buy two of the fish, shrimp or meat, and one type of fruit.”
Lu Shijin fell into thought. “We need meat, and of the two remaining, let’s get fish. We can just get apples for fruits.”
“No shrimp?” Xu Yifan asked.
“Mhm.” Lu Shijin nodded, “Yang-ge likes braised fish and I promised to make it for him.”
Xu Yifan remarked lightly, “I think fried shrimp would be nice.”
Lu Shijin looked at him in surprise, did he mean that he wanted to eat fried shrimp?
The fans reacted much quicker than Lu Shijin.
[Fanfan, if you want it then just tell Jinjin, don’t be so coy!]
[Yes! That’s exactly what he means! He wants to eat your shrimp! But he’s too embarrassed to say it!]
[Cold and aloof team leader competes for attention, braised fish vs. fried shrimp!]
[I vote fried shrimp~]
[I think braised fish is pretty good!]
Lu Shijin realized that this would be a good opportunity to get closer to Xu Yifan so he immediately said, “Yes, I think fried shrimp would taste better than braised fish, let’s buy shrimp!”
Xu Yifan’s expression relaxed slightly, appearing to be very satisfied.
They didn’t know where He Yang went, but he only regrouped with them after Lu Shijin and Xu Yifan finished purchasing everything they needed.
“You got everything?” He Yang looked curiously at the bags in Xu Yifan and Lu Shijin’s hands.
“Yeah.” Lu Shijin said, “We can go back now.”
He Yang rubbed his hands together. “Did you buy fish?”
Lu Shijin shook his head.
“No? Why? You promised to make braised fish tonight.”
Lu Shijin didn’t answer. He just glanced at Xu Yifan and signaled him.
He Yang didn’t understand Xu his and asked, “Did sand get in your eyes? Why do you keep blinking?”
Lu Shijin resisted the urge to facepalm, wondering how he could be so dense.
He Yang continued, “Why didn’t you buy fish? I wanted to eat it.”
“I said he can’t.” Xu Yifan said coldly, “We’ve already bought a lot and had to extend our budget.”
He Yang: . . .
Since the leader had already given the reason, he couldn’t continue arguing for fish and had to swallow his bitter tears.
I just wanted to eat braised fish, but I couldn’t. I’m so sad QAQ
“Then did you buy fruit?” He Yang looked at Xu Yifan’s expression and asked weakly.
Lu Shijin hurriedly showed him the apples in his bag, “Yes, apples.”
He Yang frowned, “. . . Only apples?”
Lu Shijin smiled helplessly. “What do you want to eat?”
He Yang grabbed Lu Shijin’s shoulders and turned him around, pointing at a stall. “The fruits there are sweet and fresh, can’t we go take a look?”
Thinking about how the lack of fish already disappointed He Yang, he shouldn’t let him return home sad, right?
So he looked at Xu Yifan pleadingly. “Fan-ge, we still have time, can we go check?”
This time, Xu Yifan didn’t refuse and nodded.
He Yang immediately dragged Lu Shijin to the fruit stall and secretly whispered to Lu Shijin when they were some distance away from Xu Yifan.
“Their grapes are really sweet. Xiao-Lu, you need to act spoiled to Fan-ge later and say you want to eat the grapes. You’re the youngest, so Fan-ge might say yes on your behalf.”
Lu Shijin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, pointing at himself, “Me? Act spoiled? But I don’t know how.”
“What’s so hard about it? I’ll teach you.” He Yang paused to reset himself, then furrowed his eyebrows, trying to act pitiful, “Fan-ge, Jinjin really want to eat grapes, can you buy them for Jinjin?”
Lu Shijin: . . .  Is this kid with no sense of shame my prince? If he is, can I get a refund?
Even He Yang felt disgusted with himself, laughing, “It seems like a bit too much, haha, I’ve never done anything like this either.”
“How much does it cost?” Lu Shijin asked. If it wasn’t that expensive, then it would be fine to buy a bit.
“50 yuan per cattie.”
“What?!” Lu Shijin shouted. “How much?!”
“Be quiet!” He Yang nervously looked back, afraid of Xu Yifan hearing. He touched his mouth, reminiscing the flavor of the grapes as he said, “The grapes are imported, which is why they’re so expensive, but they taste really good! Sweet and juicy, and no seeds!”
Lu Shijin shooked his head, “No way, 50 yuan per cattie is even more expensive than ribs, Fan-ge will definitely refuse.”
He Yang hugged Lu Shijin and said stubbornly, “Just try please, just say that you want to eat it and see what Fan-ge will do, okay? If he refuses, then alright, but what if he says yes?”
Lu Shijin thought about Xu Yifan’s attitude to himself and laughed to himself, saying sadly, “If he agrees, then he’s possessed.”
Going to the stall, the owner was very happy to see He Yang come back, greeting with a heavy accent, “Handsome boy, you’re back! Do you want to buy some grapes to bring back?”
“Owner, we don’t have much money, can you lower the price a bit?”
“50 yuan is already the lowest! These are imported, and it costed us 45 yuan just to get them!”
He Yang noticed that Xu Yifan was close and immediately asked the owner, “My brother here has never tried it, can you give him a little bit to taste?”
The owner was very generous and gave Lu Shijin two grapes, “Sure, here you go kid, guaranteed sweetness, if not you don’t have to pay.”
He Yang whispered in Lu Shijin’s ear, “Xiao-Lu, Fan-ge’s coming, it’s all up to you now!”
Having never acted spoiled before, Lu Shijin could only steel himself.
He bit a grape and tasted it. It was really sweet, and was the fresh sweetness of flowers, not overpowering. No wonder it was so expensive.”
“Fan-ge! Grapes!” Lu Shijin was anxious to make peace with Xu Yifan and finished his own grape, before directly shoving the other one in Xu Yifan’s mouth, “They’re really sweet! See?”
Xu Yifan didn’t have any time to prepare before his mouth was blocked. He blinked and his expressionless face showed a crack.
He Yang’s eyeballs almost fell out as he watched, shaking his head empathetically to Lu Shijin, My god, Xiao Lu, what have you done?
Xu Yifan has such a serious obsession with cleanliness, but you actually gave him a grape without washing it?!
You’re screwed, this won’t even be an issue of getting grapes, he probably won’t even consider the grape skin after this!
Xiao Lu, may God protect you!
