Chapter 101: Side Story 2: Shopping at the Supermarket
As a Marshal, he also had to take leave.
Si Jisheng had spent all of this year’s vacation on accompanying Deng Xi to play in the ocean. Soon, he had brought the little merman back to the Empire.
The military had been very relaxed these days, which had allowed Si Jisheng to have more time to accompany Deng Xi, and to let the little merman slowly familiarize himself with the various scenes of the human world.
Today, they had taken the time to go to a supermarket to replenish some of the food that had been finished at home, such as Deng Xi’s honey milk, the fruits for juicing, the increasingly empty snack cabinet, and the seafood in the freezer also needed to be replenished.
Si Jisheng was pushing a shopping cart with one hand and holding Deng Xi’s hand with the other. The little merman was craning his neck and looking around. The dense crowd made him hold the little mute’s hand very tightly, afraid that he would get lost again if he was not careful.
A middle-aged woman pushing a shopping cart passed by them. A human cub was sitting on her cart, waving his hands and telling his mother that he wanted to eat this and that.
Deng Xi pursed his lips, and his blue eyes looked at the cub who was sitting on the shopping cart and being pushed along with some curiosity.
He then turned his head sideways and glanced at the shopping cart that the little mute was pushing.
He was itching to try.
He also wanted to be pushed by the little mute.
“Little Mute, can I sit too?” Deng Xi blinked his eyes and asked expectantly.
The man refused coldly, “No.”
Deng Xi lowered his eyelids in disappointment. “Alright.”
The little mute had said that only children could ride in this cart. Deng Xi thought for a moment. He was a big friend, so he could only ride in the mobility chair.
The final result was that the dignified Marshal of the Empire had also joined the childish little merman in his antics, letting Deng Xi sit in the mobility chair, turning off the flying device, and pushing it manually.
Because they had abandoned the shopping cart, the things they wanted to buy could only be thrown into Deng Xi’s flying chair. The little merman couldn’t even hold them all.
Deng Xi was like a child who had been brought out to play by a guardian. He wanted everything he saw. “What’s that?”
Si Jisheng replied in a low voice, “Jelly.”
Deng Xi leaned over, extended his hand, and took two large jellies, one for the little mute and one for himself.
“And this!”
“Candy.”
“What kind of candy?”
“…”
Deng Xi knew that the little mute didn’t know either.
The colorful food bags and the gaudy product introductions, as well as the various flavors and categories, and even the brands were different.
Si Jisheng had uniformly classified these items with a short and direct initial name.
Deng Xi had no choice but to randomly grab a handful and place them on his flying chair.
After they had finished browsing the snack section, Deng Xi’s flying chair was already full. They could only go and put them back on the flying ship first.
Si Jisheng uncomplainingly lifted the countless snacks in the flying chair and scanned and paid for them one by one.
Deng Xi was very satisfied with this shopping trip. When he got home, he and the little mute enjoyed the large jelly.
A sudden trending post on the star network:
[Is it okay to ask this? Why was the song that our Xizai just posted posted with the Marshal’s account???]
Main post: I woke up and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Who understands? What did the two of them do last night that they could even take the wrong comm?!
Replies:
[Isn’t the main point that Xizai is actually living with the Marshal?!]
[Living together… Won’t our Xixi be scared to tears by the Marshal’s cold face? Worried.jpg]
[Is this something that can be found? Haven’t you noticed that the Marshal has been forwarding Xixi’s songs for a long time? That account is like there’s a machine operating behind it.]
[Such a professional fan voting account. Marshal, you really, I’m crying.]
[So who can explain to us what their relationship is?!]
[I don’t know if I can say this, but I ran into Xixi and the Marshal at the supermarket two days ago. I never thought in my life that I would one day see the Marshal in a place like a supermarket!]
[I also took a picture, pic ×1.]
[Although I can understand that Xixi has no relatives in the Empire, and the Marshal saved him and is his temporary guardian, and they live together, it’s not unacceptable.]
[But, you guys, zoom in on the picture. The shopping bag is full of Xixi’s snacks. Didn’t they say that the Marshal is so busy he’s even pushed all his interviews??? Is he really busy or is he just pretending to be busy, or does he have to accompany someone? I get it, I won’t say it.]
[Are there any microscope sisters who can dig?]
[No need to dig. Look at the hand that the Marshal is holding the shopping bag with. Although the photo is a bit blurry, you can still see that the Marshal is wearing something on his left hand. It can be confirmed that it’s not a comm ring.]
[If it’s not a comm ring, what else could it be…??]
[Deng Xi seems to be wearing one too. I zoomed in and took a look. It’s the same style and color as the one on the Marshal’s hand.]
[So romantic, woven from grass.]
[And look at the back of the Marshal’s wrist that is exposed from his sleeve. There’s a hint of blue light. Those who know have already guessed what it is.]
[Transparent, could it be… Xixi’s fish scales?]
[So good.]
[So good +1]
[So good +10086]
[So they really are (.]
[99.999 percent]
[But didn’t they say before that Xixi was bought by the Marshal? Are they really not in that kind of relationship?]
[I hate it. If I had a hundred billion, I would have bought him too.]
[Stop digging, sisters. The Marshal’s personal account status has just been changed to [Married]]
[??!!? I’m so serious!!]
[It was changed along with the song. It was probably because he found out that his wife had taken the wrong comm, deleted the song, and then posted it again with Deng Xi’s account, and changed his status on the way, secretly making it official.]
[Whose wife! Whose wife! He’s clearly my wife!]
[I’ve lost my love in the time it took to scroll through the star network. My eyes are watering.]
The picture in the post was quickly deleted by the star network, but the star network headline [Marshal is Married] had rushed to the top of the popularity charts with a swift speed.

Si Jisheng had asked for Deng Xi’s opinion. Because they had been to the inheritance ground in the ocean, a wedding in the human world was just a ceremony.
Deng Xi had not yet decided, but he was a little afraid of crowds.
The little mute also did not like crowded places.
The clueless little merman had searched a large amount of information on the star network and had been tricked by a bad advertisement into ordering a set of wedding clothes.
It was a woman’s style.
The off-the-shoulder long dress, because there was no chest support, would easily slip down, revealing a large area of his collarbone. The puffy skirt only reached above his knees.
Deng Xi belatedly realized that he had bought the wrong one.
He clumsily took off the clothes and then went to pull at the transparent white silk stockings on his thighs.
The door lock suddenly “clicked,” and was opened by someone.
