Give Me Another Smile

Chapter 62: I'm Worried I'll Lose You

After tidying up the dorm, Yu Wanrou added even more items to the list of things she needed to buy for Tang Yu.

While the two parents were discussing where they should buy their daughters' necessities, Yin Zhao-an carefully inspected the class schedule she had snatched from a certain girl. Then, she joyfully said, "We're in the same class, Tang-Tang."

"Oh, that's good," Tang Yu flatly replied.

It was, in fact, not good at all. Not for Tang Yu, at the very least. However, now that their relationship had become so entangled, it would seem petty of her to make a fuss about such a small matter.

Not to mention, the next time Du Yuqing and Yin Zhao-an would meet should be when they attended university. If history repeated itself, Du Yuqing and Yin Zhao-an would enroll in the same major as well as become members of the same student council. It should also be during this period that Du Yuqing started to interact more with Yin Zhao-an, which would eventually lead to Du Yuqing becoming obsessed with Yin Zhao-an.

In that case, all Tang Yu needed to do was avoid attending the same university as Yin Zhao-an. Having thought of this, Tang Yu smiled joyfully, two small dimples forming on her cheeks.

Yin Zhao-an, who was paying constant attention to Tang Yu, naturally caught Tang Yu's smile. Although she didn't know what her Tang-Tang was thinking about, seeing her Tang-Tang in a good mood also put her in a good mood. At this time, even the sun no longer felt as hot.

The supermarket was similarly crowded with people. It was especially so for the section that sold daily necessities.

After looking at the dense crowd, Yin Zhao-an decisively chose to leave the heavy burden of buying daily necessities to the two adults. So, after informing the two adults, she dragged Tang Yu to the food section.

"Let's stock up on more food in case the school cafeteria's food tastes bad," Yin Zhao-an said while carefully selecting fruits to buy. She made sure to skip all the cooling fruits and choose snacks that were meant to nourish the stomach.

At this time, a person passed by them with a shopping cart. When Yin Zhao-an noticed the sunscreen in the other party's cart, she turned to the girl next to her and asked, "Tang-Tang, did you prepare sunscreen?"

"Huh?" Yin Zhao-an was confused for a second. Then, she shook her head as an afterthought.

While dotingly rubbing Tang Yu's head, Yin Zhao-an said, "How can you be so clumsy?" After saying so, Yin Zhao-an pulled Tang Yu over to the beauty area.

"Are we not buying food anymore?" Tang Yu asked when she saw the empty basket Yin Zhao-an held.

"It's fine. I have some snacks in my suitcase."

Yin Zhao-an paused as soon as she said so, recalling that she had plenty of sunscreen and beauty products in her suitcase as well. In that case, why should they buy an additional set? She could just share them with her Tang-Tang.

Upon coming to this realization, Yin Zhao-an had to admit that she was also quite silly. At the same time, she couldn't help but fall into a daze, wondering what she should get now.

Unlike Yin Zhao-an, Tang Yu knew what they could buy. After silently retracting her hand from Yin Zhao-an's grip, she returned to the section that sold daily necessities and weaved her way through the crowd before stopping in front of a shelf.

"What are you buying?" Yin Zhao-an asked while dutifully carrying the shopping basket behind Tang Yu. However, she quickly got her answer when she saw the numerous "Space7" logos displayed on the shelf. At the same time, she couldn't help but blush at the sight of the items displayed on the shelf.

After behaving like a tomboy for so long, she had nearly forgotten that she was a girl.

In the meantime, Tang Yu selected a few combinations and placed them into the basket. When she saw the blush on Yin Zhao-an's face, the corners of her mouth twitched a little as she softly commented, "We're both girls, so what are you getting all embarrassed about?"

There weren't many things Yin Zhao-an and Tang Yu needed to get. Or, more specifically, the two adults were responsible for securing most of what they needed. Yin Zhao-an didn't wish to stay in crowded places, so after seeing that they had gotten everything they needed, she suggested:

"Let's pay for these things and wait outside."

"Okay."

"Give me your hand," Yin Zhao-an said as she held out her hand toward Tang Yu.

"Can't we not hold hands?" Tang Yu asked as she reluctantly held out her hand, refusing to take the initiative to hold Yin Zhao-an's hand.

"No," Yin Zhao-an firmly replied before taking Tang Yu's hand.

Then, as they weaved their way through the crowd, Tang Yu heard a calm and indistinct voice coming from ahead of her, "I'm worried I'll lose you. If I lose you, I won't be able to find you again."

Tang Yu suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat when she heard Yin Zhao-an's words. Then, she lowered her head slightly, using her long and slender eyelashes to hide the ripples in her eyes.

But You've already lost me once

After their turn at the cashier arrived, Yin Zhao-an let go of Tang Yu's hand to reach for her wallet.

The cashier was a young woman working part-time. When she saw Yin Zhao-an's face, she couldn't help but stare at Yin Zhao-an with lovestruck eyes.

When Yin Zhao-an looked up from her wallet and saw the cashier's expression, she knew another misunderstanding had occurred. After chuckling helplessly and handing the money to the cashier, she explained, "I'm a girl."

The young woman manning the cashier blushed when her actions were discovered. Hurriedly, she turned away to get Yin Zhao-an's change.

After putting their purchases into a plastic bag, Yin Zhao-an turned around and said, "Let's go, Tang"

The person beside her had disappeared. In a panic, Yin Zhao-an haphazardly stuffed her change into her pocket and ran out of the supermarket. However, even after running about for some time, she failed to find the familiar figure.

She's not joking with me, right?

Yin Zhao-an's eyes reddened with anxiety. Left with no other options, she ran back to the cashier just now and anxiously asked, "Hello, have you seen the girl next to me just now? She's a white T-shirt, and she looks very pretty." Yin Zhao-an gestured with her hands as she spoke, and even her voice was trembling.

Meanwhile, the cashier pondered for a moment before frowning slightly and saying, "I think I saw her walking away with a man. I didn't hear her calling for help, so I thought she went with him willingly."

"What kind of man?!" Yin Zhao-an lost control and propped herself on the counter.

"He was a strange-looking man. He was wearing a black trenchcoat and a black hat. He also looked like he had a limp leg Eh? Where are you going?"
