It was the first time that Hazel had come to Alex's place. Seeing that she had no other schedule, the two of them decided to stay around and Alex was going to send Hazel back to her dormitory after having dinner together.

Alex took this chance to bring Hazel around the apartment to look at the facilities. Even though Hazel had agreed to stay at the apartment, Alex continued to tell her about the advantage of staying around. It was as if he was afraid that Hazel was going to change her mind anytime soon. 

Since Alex had offered to cook their dinner, the two of them decided to head over to the nearest supermarket to buy groceries together. 

As soon as they arrived, Hazel pulled the trolley and the couple entered the supermarket side by side. 

"What do you want to eat?" Alex asked. He had one arm circling her waist, as he pulled her away from bumping into another customer.

Hazel began to look around as she gave his question a thought. "Let's go and see the ingredients first. At this time, there shouldn't be a lot of fresh ingredients left."

As she grew up, Hazel had always followed her Auntie Edith to the market and knew that if they wanted to get the best ingredients, they should visit the market early in the morning. 

The two went to the wet market first. The supermarket was quite large and there was a selection of ingredients sold. Perhaps, it was because this market was located around the elite area, therefore the ingredients sold remained fresh. The staff would continue to replenish their fresh stock.

Hazel walked around the wet market and her steps halted as she arrived at one section. Suddenly, she turned to Alex and flashed him a strange smile.

"What is it?" Alex raised a brow before he turned to look at the ingredients on the rack. A laugh escaped him when he noticed her favorite ingredients.

"Alex He, do you know how to prepare crab dishes?" Hazel batted her eyelashes at him. The look on her face was adorable. 

Seeing that his girlfriend was acting coquettishly with him, Alex did not have the heart to reject her. Even if he did not know how to prepare crab dishes, he will have to learn.

Alex stared at the woman in front of her with a pampering gaze. "I don't know how to do it. But, if you want them, I can learn." 

In Alex's opinion, cooking a crab dish would not be so difficult. As long as you have the right ingredients everything would turn out okay. The thing he was worried about is how to clean and prepare them. Perhaps he should look at some videos and study how to deal with crab first before he attempted to cook them.

Her heart warmed knowing that he was willing to learn to cook her favorite food for her. Hazel leaned on his arms and lowered her head to hide her smile. 

At this time, a promoter walked over to the couple with a tray of her promoted item. After greeting the couple, the promoter straightaway began to introduce the product in her hand. 

"Handsome brother, pretty sister, coincidentally today we had a promotion where you can buy two bottles of this yogurt drink and get  free couple mugs."

The promoter's voice was gentle and fluent. It looked like she has been repeating the same words over and over again for a long time. However, the way she spoke, there was no way for others to butt in to stop her from talking.

Both Hazel and Alex were about to decline the promoter's offer before she continued to talk.

"Don't go away just yet," the Promoter said. "Let me show you the design first." She put her stuff on the rack and pulled out the sample of the mug from the bag that she was carrying. "You see. This design is perfect for a beautiful couple like you two." She looked at Hazel and smiled. "Pretty sister, take a look."

Hazel stared at the mug and halted. When the mug was put side by side, one could see the image of two bunnies kissing could be seen. The illustrations of the bunnies were cute and adorable. With just one look at it, Hazel was smitten. She had always been a fan of bunnies.

Of course, the moment Alex saw the expression on her face, he knew that she was interested to have the mugs.

"You see, pretty sister, this pair of mugs should be perfect for you and your partner right?" The smile on the promoter's face widened. "If you like this pair of mugs, you have to make your decision fast. We are only giving out fifty sets of mugs today. Right now, there are less than ten available."

Alex looked at the promoter and thought that she was good at her job. 

"We'll take it," Hazel said.

The promoter looked at Hazel with a happy expression on her face. Swiftly, she picked up two bottles of yogurt and placed them into their carts. "Thank you, pretty sister. Once you made your payment at the counter, you can come over and meet me with your receipt. Then, I'll give you the mugs."

As the promoter walked away, Alex turned to Hazel and asked, "You like it?"

"Mhmm... The bunnies print is very cute, don't you think?" Hazel smiled. Her eyes were shining brightly. "Let's put them at your place. Next time I can use them whenever I come over your place."

Of course, Alex had no opinion about this matter.

Once they bought everything they need, the two of them headed back to Alex's apartment. 

As Alex went online to look for some tutorials to clean the crab, Hazel took out the coupling mugs and put them side by side. Seeing how adorable they look together, Hazel took out her phone, snapped a few pictures, and posted them in her moments. 

When she went walked into the kitchen, Alex was seriously staring at the crab. Hazel walked over to him and decided to help him out.

"Let me show you how to clean them up." Hazel tied her hair into a high ponytail. Then, she grabbed a crab and a pair of scissors. After demonstrating to Alex to clean the crab, Hazel stood at the side and watched him.

Seeing that he was cleaning the crab with a serious look on his face, Hazel let out a laugh and took a picture of him. As she browsed through her gallery, Hazel was surprised to see that there were a lot of his photos on her phone. 

In just a few months, her album was filled with photos of them together.

The cooking process ended after almost an hour. Alex set up three dishes and one soup on the table and the two of them sat down together.

Alex glanced at the new mug they got earlier and a faint smile curled on his lips.. Eating dinner together like this made him look forward to their future together.
