The cotton-padded clothes, shoes, and compressed biscuits couldn’t arrive the same day.

After Xiao Yingchun placed the order online, the seller said they would be delivered tomorrow.

She let out a sigh of relief and drove home.

When she got home, Uncle Liang had already delivered the instant noodles and snacks she had requested—even more than what Fu Chen’an had ordered previously.

After all, besides fulfilling Fu Chen’an’s order, the store shelves couldn’t stay empty forever.

When Uncle Liang saw the new car parked in front of the convenience store, he glanced at it a few times but didn’t say anything.

Xiao Yingchun opened the storage room door, let Uncle Liang unload the goods, and then settled the payment.

The front door closed; the back door opened— the Cross-Time Supermarket* was open for business.

*Previously, I translated it as “Cross-Time Supermarket,” then as “Time-Space Supermarket.” From now on, I’ll change it back to “Cross-Time Supermarket.” Sorry for the confusion and thank you for understanding^^

As soon as the back door opened, Fu Chen’an came in.

Xiao Yingchun felt a bit embarrassed. “General Fu, have you been waiting long again?”

Fu Chen’an hadn’t actually waited that long — he had just been trying now and then to see if he could enter…

After he had handed over all that gold, one of his aides voiced concern, “Giving so much gold at once— what if the mysterious shop owner runs away with it?”

After all, only Fu Chen’an could enter the shop.
When he could enter, whether he could enter, and what he could buy inside— all were completely under Xiao Yingchun’s control.

Fu Chen’an thought for a moment about Xiao Yingchun’s character. “She wouldn’t.”

The aides gave him a sympathetic look but didn’t dare question further.

Since then, whenever Fu Chen’an had free time, he would try to enter the supermarket again.

He couldn’t quite tell if he was worried the deputy’s words might come true— or if he just wanted to prove him wrong.

Fortunately, after half a day, he finally managed to get in again.

Today, since she was planning to go out for a meal, Xiao Yingchun had changed into a dress—
a light green, loose-fitting linen gown that was soft and comfortable,
making her appear even more slender and graceful.

Fu Chen’an couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times.

Xiao Yingchun didn’t notice his gaze and pointed at the newly delivered instant noodles, snacks, and biscuits.

“Look, the instant noodles and snacks I told you about before have arrived. Try some of the ones you haven’t eaten yet, and take whatever you like.”

Fu Chen’an looked at the pile of snacks that hadn’t even been put on the shelves yet.
“I’ll take them all. The others like these.”

Then he pointed at the big bag of lollipops.
“Next time, get me more of these.”

-lollipops

“Oh? You like these?” Xiao Yingchun looked at him in surprise— she clearly hadn’t expected that.

“My father likes them,” Fu Chen’an replied.

An image of Zhang Fei* munching on a lollipop instantly popped into Xiao Yingchun’s head.

*Zhang Fei (张飞) is a famous historical and legendary figure from China’s Three Kingdoms period (around the 3rd century).  Xiao Yingchun humorously picturing a huge, fierce general licking a lollipop, which feels totally out of place and absurd.

“…”

She swallowed hard and decided not to ask any further questions.

“And these too— bring more next time. They’ve never had them before, and everyone says they’re delicious— fragrant, sweet, and chewy.” Fu Chen’an pointed at the bag of QQ gummy candies.

-QQ gummy candies

Xiao Yingchun nodded with some effort. “…No problem.”

Technology changes lives. Technology changes ancient soldiers’ taste in snacks.

Xiao Yingchun explained the current order situation to him and told him that the next shipment would arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest— he could come then to pick up the first batch of goods.

Fu Chen’an agreed but didn’t leave.

Xiao Yingchun noticed him looking around, showing no sign of leaving, so she started introducing the other foods in the shop that he hadn’t tried yet.

If the different kinds of drinks had opened Fu Chen’an’s eyes, then the various flavors of ice cream made them go wide with astonishment.

“So, in this cabinet… the ice cream inside doesn’t melt?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded. “Of course not.”

“What about cooked food? If you put it in here, it won’t spoil either?”
