[Xie Lian blames the silence on his uncanny ability to kill conversations, and doesn't think much more of it. He helps with the grocery checkout, handing Hua Cheng things from the cart one-by-one, as they're bagged up and- sure enough, Hua Cheng's card worked just fine.
Getting out of the cart is a lot trickier than getting in, and Xie Lian takes the offered hand for balance before clambering out. If it nets him a few odd looks, he doesn't seem at all bothered, and dusts himself off before reaching into the cart to help carry some of the remaining bags.]
