Wesley was carrying a bigger carrier bag. But even so, he tucked the change into his pants pocket hastily, caught up with Blair, and offered to take the bag from her.
But Blair declined.
“Mine is not heavy. The one you’re carrying is full of beverages. It’s already heavy enough.”

Together, they made their way towards the exit of the supermarket. A worker was standing there, checking the purchase receipts before letting anyone exit with a shopping bag. Wesley’s hands were full, so he had to ask Blair, “Get the receipt from my pocket.”
“Okay. Without thinking much, Blair walked up to him and reached her hand inside his coat-pocket. It seemed Like the most logical place to start.
Wesley lowered his head to look at her with a sidelong glance.
“No. it’s inside the pocket of my trousers.”
“Oh.” Blair then moved her hand down and put it into one of the pockets of his trousers. While she was groping around for the receipt, she could clearly feel his hard muscle through the thin clothing.
Both of their facial expressions changed subtly.
“Not this side. The other one,” Wesley said in a low voice, sounding a little hoarse and trying to ignore the soft hand roaming around his pockets.
“Oh well… Got it.” ‘The wrong pocket again?’ Blair pursed her Lips

Without turning her head around, she walked straight to the worker standing at the exit. She felt embarrassed to make eye contact with him. She tried to comfort herself by saying that it was inevitable and anyone would be if they touched someone’s hard muscle.

But Wesley was too tall for her to reach. Even with her arm lifted vertically straight, the umbrella was touching his hairs

“Letcarry this one. I can hold it. It’s difficult for you to hold the umbrella this way,” she told him with concern in her voice.
However, instead of Listening to her, Wesley gave the umbrella back to her and walked into the rain straight away.
