Su Bai suddenly felt a spark of interest. He simply picked out a few snacks, paid the bill, and left... Wait!
At the cashier counter, Su Bai ran into Xia Lin.
To say he "ran into" her wasn't quite accurate, because Xia Lin had originally been with them for the outdoor barbecue. She hadn't run off anywhere, so coming to the supermarket to buy a few things was normal.
But when Zhou Jialu mentioned wanting to buy things earlier, why didn't Xia Lin come along then?
Su Bai smelled a conspiracy.
"Sister Lin, what are you planning to buy?" Su Bai asked.
"...Nothing."
Xia Lin's eyes dodged his gaze, and she looked a bit flustered.
A lightbulb went off in Su Bai's mind. He made a snap decision and looked toward the cashier counter. Sure enough, the cashier lady was scanning the barcode of an item.
It was a box of...
So, Xia Lin had been thinking: since there was a camping segment after the barbecue, shouldn't she make some preparations?
As a mature older sister, she definitely had to prepare for this kind of thing herself. How could she let Su Bai worry about it?
With this thought in mind, Xia Lin wanted to buy some at the nearby supermarket.
But she was too embarrassed to tag along with Su Bai and the others; she felt so shy about it.
So she deliberately lagged behind a little, planning to buy it at light speed and leave so she wouldn't be seen by Zhou Jialu and the others.
But she was seen anyway.
Who knew their shopping efficiency was so high!
"Hahaha, Sister Lin, you..."
"Don't laugh at me!"
Seeing Su Bai laugh so presumptuously, Xia Lin's face turned bright red. She hit him in a fluster and ran away covering her face.
This made Su Bai laugh even louder.
See, I told you, Xia Lin is definitely a reliable big sister. She thinks of everything.
If it were Shengsheng, that scatterbrained romantic, who suddenly wanted to camp and read papers with Su Bai, the result would inevitably be... well, actually that would be fine too.
But the feeling of being taken care of is always wonderful. Su Bai felt that the biggest advantage of a so-called S-tier goddess is that, compared to those women in the nightlife scene, Su Bai's confidantes really keep him in their hearts.
Some women approach rich guys purely to dig for gold, regardless of whether the rich guy looks good or not.
It's pretty cringe.
And don't say that having enough money guarantees finding true love. Believe it or not, if Su Bai wasn't picky and accepted anyone, he'd still run into trashy women acting up in front of him.
"Sister Lin is too funny..." Zhou Jialu shook her head slightly. "I forgot to tell her, we procure these things centrally."
Actually, she only said half of it. The other half was "it's easy to buy fakes in supermarkets or convenience stores." However, the socially savvy Senior Sister Xiaolu naturally wouldn't say that in front of the supermarket staff.
Besides, supermarkets don't sell some high-end models. For Su Bai, only the best would do.
"Even if you can predict things like a god, you wouldn't tell her something like that in advance, right? She's a reserved young lady... Forget it, forget it, we'll take this box. Since..."
Su Bai was eager to try.
After upgrading to the Intermediate Body Modification, besides the overall improvement in physical fitness, there were some extremely subtle and interesting changes.
The most direct manifestation was control over the body at a microscopic level.
For example, micro-expressions, moving eyeballs independently...
And...
He could basically do whatever he wanted.

"Hey, this jelly is lychee flavored. Junior, taste it..."
Climbing into the back seat of the Porsche Panamera parked in the shade, Zhou Jialu originally wanted to... but after tearing open the first jelly wrapper, she was attracted by the sweet but not cloying scent. She tasted one and immediately clamored for Su Bai to taste it too.
Su Bai tried it. Sure enough, the taste was very special. It looked like a recently launched snack. The price wasn't cheap; it was at a level that cash-strapped college students wouldn't bear to buy.
"Pretty good. The good taste of the jelly can neutralize the not-so-good taste," Su Bai teased.
This made Zhou Jialu giggle. While chewing the jelly, she cuddled with Su Bai, feeling incredibly happy.
Every day with her Junior was super happy.
This was what a stress-free life was like. Only after struggling in the workplace did one realize how hard it is to make money. In comparison, Zhou Jialu felt that the services she provided for Su Bai were actually very basic things that she ought to do, and perhaps she wasn't even doing enough.
What exactly were those girls thinking, taking benefits from rich guys and still causing endless drama?
Human joys and sorrows really aren't connected.
In Zhou Jialu's view, since her hubby was supporting her, if she were to cheat, wouldn't that be inhumane? She would be no better than a roadside stray dog.
On the other hand, some women clearly enjoy the many benefits provided by their husbands, yet still want to establish some "independent boss babe" persona, complain that their husbands lack romance, and cheat with other men...
Zhou Jialu couldn't understand the brain circuitry of these people at all. Sadly, in today's society, there are quite a few such women...
"Hmm... this jelly tastes good, but it's still too monotonous."
"What else do you want to eat, Junior?" Zhou Jialu rummaged through the snack bag to feed Su Bai.
But she was interrupted by Su Bai...
……
……
Ten minutes later.
Su Bai took a can of ice-cold Coke from the car's mini-fridge and put in a can of the Coke they had just bought.
Call it a bit of OCD; he wasn't happy unless it was filled.
Glancing at Zhou Jialu, whose face still held a lingering blush, Su Bai asked with a smile, "How was it?"
"Mmm... Hehe~"
Zhou Jialu just giggled.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."
