1. One, Two, Strawberry

 ...

"Flour, sugar, eggs, milk and strawberries!" Fang Ying muttered as she checked one by one the ingredients she had put into her shopping basket.

Fang Ying then found one item that wasn't in her basket bag and that was the most important ingredient in the cake she had to make to order from a loyal customer.

In three hours, her special strawberry cake must be ready and ready to be taken by special member customers of her shop whose sales are currently increasing, so she can't be late and disappoint customers who are willing to pay more for special membership in her cake shop.

Because supplies were running low at the end of the week, Fang Ying couldn't help but have to run to the supermarket to buy supplies of ingredients that were continuing to decrease. This kind of thing sounded troublesome, but Fang Ying was very happy because it all happened after her cake shop became so famous in Guangzhou!

Even Fang Ying might be willing to go back and forth to the supermarket just to buy some supplies of ingredients that keep running out every hour because the demand at her cake shop is very high every day. Moreover, strawberry shortcake is the main menu at the shop.

Fang Ying walked towards the cooling rack containing lots of imported fruit from Korea, Japan, and Indonesia. However, Fang Ying's sharp eyes only noticed one shelf which was usually filled with packages of premium strawberries that looked sweet and fresh.

Fang Ying's smile faded slightly. Her sharp eyes became sharper when she realized that there was only one pack of strawberries left in the chiller on the cooling rack. The beautiful red color was so striking amidst the white color---the cooling rack where the strawberry ladies and gentlemen sat silently waited for Fang Ying's deft hand to take it.

However, it seemed that Fang Ying was not careful. In fact, her footsteps were still not fast enough to make the remaining pack of strawberries his. Just a step away, the body of a man with pale blonde hair like cotton candy suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked her way to take what she needed immediately.

Quickly. Fang Ying immediately stepped forward and shifted the position of the 188 centimeter tall man from in front of her. Fang Ying's deft hands also immediately grabbed a pack of strawberries in the chiller without caring whether the man who had been standing blocking her view needed the strawberries too or not.

"Sorry, I saw it first, so it's mine. Excuse me!" Fang Ying said. She took a pack of strawberries deftly and then walked away without paying attention to the cotton candy haired man who had actually just tried to talk to him, but Fang Ying ignored him completely.

"Your Mine?" The man muttered, repeating a sentence that Fang Ying had said earlier.

Without realizing it, the man followed Fang Ying's steps to chase her. He felt that Fang Ying's attitude which forced him to stop talking was very impolite. Plus Fang Ying's attitude of immediately picking up the strawberries was clear that she was the first to see it and she was even the first to reach the front of the cooling rack.

If we talk about who owns the strawberry. The answer is that the strawberries should belong to the man, right?.

Unlike his gentle appearance, the man apparently had an attitude that was quite different from his appearance. With his long strides, the man was quickly able to catch up with Fang Ying, who was only 162 centimeters tall.

Once right behind Fang Ying, the tall man easily took back what should have been 'his' judging by who was looking and arrived in front of the cooling rack first.

"Sorry. But this is mine," said the man without feeling the slightest guilt.

Fang Ying was taken aback for a moment then quickly realized who the extremely impolite person was.

"Hey!. What do you mean!?. Where are your etiquette?. You're so rude!" Fang Ying said. Sge felt like she was a very righteous person and became brave with a man who she thought was very impolite.

"Ethics??. Okay. You're right. I shouldn't suddenly take this, but shouldn't you be aware of how I felt before?" said the man. He looked at Fang Ying with a serious gaze that was bold but not at all piercing like a blunt sword used for training.

"Earlier I almost took this fruit but you took it first, even though I saw it first. You also realize that I got there first, right?" Obviously the man. He looked like he was teaching a naughty and thieving little ferret.

"What?. What is he talking about?!. Why this person so sensitive?!" Fang Ying thought.

"..." Fang Ying just opened her mouth to speak but she wasn't given the chance. The man continued his words.

"Then. You haven't paid for this fruit either, so this fruit can still 'belong' to anyone. Not yours ..."

"You!---" Fang Ying started to get emotional and prepared to spar with the man.

"How can I pay for the fruit if a thief just snatched it from my hands!" Fang Ying said. She released her emotions and played with words without any intention of accepting defeat.

"Thief?!---" the man looked emotional, but whoever drowned in it was a loser so he suppressed his emotions well and played his words better to defeat the sweet woman who had actually given up her defeat first.

The man smiled triumphantly and said, "Okay. You are right. I am a thief and I will take this fruit. So this fruit has become the thief's property... excuse me"

The man began to think that Fang Ying's sweet appearance did not reflect her character. Fang Ying is like a strawberry that looks sweet on the outside but tastes very sour when you taste it.

"It should be dipped in sugar so it can become sweet tanghulu," muttered the man as he walked towards the cashier to pay for the strawberries in his hand.

On the other hand, Fang Ying was pensive for a moment after being hit hard by defeat. In the end, emotions will only backfire on themselves.

"Hey!. Wait!. Wait!. Listen!. I was wrong!. I was wrong!. I'm sorry!. So please return the strawberries!. I don't have time to look elsewhere!. I have to make an order That cake with strawberries!--" shouted Fang Ying.

Fang Ying tried hard to catch up with the tall man's footsteps who were walking so fast. In fact, he had finished paying for the fruit when Fang Ying had just finished her last sentence.

Tap!.

The tall man stopped walking suddenly after hearing the last sentence that Fang Ying said and like it or not, Fang Ying had to bump into his body.

"Ah!" Fang Ying groaned, "Why did you suddenly stop!" He continued again irritably.

"What?. Weren't you the one who told me to stop walking earlier?" Said the man in a flat tone. He seemed to feel a little guilty for making Fang Ying have to bump into him.

After hearing those words, Fang Ying felt like the fuse in her head was about to burn out, but she didn't let herself explode or she would destroy herself like before.

"Yes. Alright. I need those strawberries. Can you give them to me?. I'll pay double?. How about it?. Please don't argue anymore, I'm really running out of time..." explained Fang Ying without being asked.
