He rubbed the top of her head, "Just follow me and I'll choose. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Such an intimate and somewhat ambiguous and doting behavior made Zhao Chuning very uncomfortable and even a little resistant. She subconsciously hid back for a while. Cheng Zheng's eyes flashed with disappointment, but soon returned to normal, "Let's go."
Zhao Chuning followed behind Cheng Zheng. Cheng Zheng found that Gu Shaocheng was still following them, but he didn't point it out, but he saw what he was going to do.
———
"Shaocheng, we have agreed to go shopping, why are you following them?" After following them all the way, the female companion next to Gu Shaocheng became unhappy and complained.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let them find out." Gu Shaocheng gestured, "You, pull your feet back!"
"Shaocheng~" the woman acted coquettishly.
"Didn't you say that shopping in a supermarket is a must-do activity for couples? Besides, shopping in a supermarket is also shopping. If you feel bored, go shopping by yourself. I'll do my own thing."
Gu Shaocheng became impatient and wanted to send the woman away.
The woman pursed her red lips and looked at the two people not far ahead. "You don't like that woman, do you? Follow her all the way."
"Shit! They're holding hands!" Gu Shaocheng was just talking to his girlfriend and didn't see the whole thing clearly. He just saw this scene. He excitedly took out his phone and took two photos. He screamed again, "Fuck, they're hugging each other! They're actually... kissing!"
Gu Shaocheng kept taking pictures with his phone, wondering whether he could show the pictures to his fifth brother.
This... What if I take it out on myself after reading this
the other side.
Zhao Chuning was actually pushed by the crowd and almost fell down. Cheng Zheng grabbed her hand. With a little force, she fell into Cheng Zheng's arms. The crowd was too crowded, and the two stumbled, and their lips almost touched each other. From Gu Shaocheng's angle, it was clearly the two of them kissing passionately.
Zhao Chuning had no idea that this scene was being filmed. After he stood firm, he quickly stepped away from Cheng Zheng's arms in embarrassment, "Sorry."
"It's okay, I didn't stand firmly." Cheng Zheng shook his head, and raised his long arms like a gentleman, keeping her firmly in the safe area.
Zhao Chuning was afraid of the awkward situation like before, so she kept her distance and stood a little further away. There were already a lot of things in the cart, so she didn't stay any longer, just said, "It's almost done, let's go back."
"That's fine. If I don't go back now, my aunt will be waiting anxiously. Just go wait for me outside. I'll pay the bill."
"You come to my house as a guest, I can't let you pay the bill." Zhao Chuning held the coin purse in his hand, "My mother gave me all the money. If I really let you pay the bill, you will scold me when you go back."
Cheng Zheng couldn't do anything with her. Knowing her personality, he didn't insist on it. He just pushed the cart and walked towards the queue area together.
He looked around the supermarket and found that Gu Shaocheng, who had been following them, was nowhere to be seen.
———
The two people came out of the supermarket, and Cheng Zheng naturally carried all the things in his hands.
When they reached the downstairs of the community, Cheng Zheng stopped and said, "Wait for me."
She stopped and watched him walk towards the car. From a distance, he opened the trunk, and after a while, he was carrying not only the vegetables he bought from the supermarket, but also several large and small bags.
Zhao Chuning hurried forward and took the dish in his hands.
She looked at what he was holding and asked, "What are you...?"
"The fruit basket and these supplements are for Auntie to replenish her body. These toy dolls are for little Yimi."
"You're too polite. Actually, my mother's illness isn't that serious."
"It's a courtesy to come and see the elders." Cheng Zheng locked the trunk and said, "Let's go, go up first."
He was already carrying his things, and walked ahead with a familiar look. Zhao Chuning looked at the back and sighed. If he were a boyfriend or future husband, Cheng Zheng would be great.
Unfortunately, no matter how good it was, she was never moved.
———
The night gradually deepens.
Here, the atmosphere among the family of three including Cheng Zheng was not awkward at all, but rather full of laughter and joy.
Although the little girl has always missed her daddy, it does not stop her from liking this gentle uncle. Moreover, he can tell fairy tales.
After dinner, Zhao Chuning was cutting fruit in the kitchen when Zhang Rong came in quietly.
"How is it?" Zhang Rong asked.
"…" Zhao Chuning pretended not to understand and continued to busy himself with his own things. "Mom, please move aside. I'll wash the knife."
"When I ask you a question, you don't even say a word!" Zhang Rong said as she moved aside.
She made a perfunctory "squeak".
"You little girl!" Zhang Rong was both angry and amused, "You're just pretending to be stupid. You know what I'm asking. Look at the two of them..."
Zhang Rong pointed her chin outward. Zhao Chuning looked over as she pointed. Little Yimi was leaning against Cheng Zheng. Cheng Zheng was telling her a story. Compared to Tang Yi, he was much more attentive when telling stories. He would weave some new elements into the old fairy tales, making the little girl listen with great interest and absorbed.
In this regard, Tang Yi is far behind him.
But why did I think of him again
A bitter feeling welled up in his heart. Zhao Chuning shook his head, trying to get that face out of his mind.
All I could hear was my mother's voice whispering in my ear: "Mom, you can see that he really likes you. Look how patient he is with Mimi! Didn't I tell you to find someone who can treat Mimi as his own daughter? I think he's the right person!"
"Mom, please don't just match them up casually. I don't have that idea."
"I'm not asking you to be with him right now or marry him. I know that's unrealistic. What I want you to do is not to reject him out of hand. Just treat him as a friend and get to know him. Maybe after a while, you'll suddenly develop feelings for him. It always makes sense that love grows over time."
"If after a long time, there is still no love, isn't that a waste of time?"
"You still know the word 'delay'? Look at what you've done to yourself." Zhang Rong muttered, "Let me tell you first, your dad and I are satisfied with someone like Cheng Zheng. If it's that Tang Yi... even if he doesn't marry his fiancée now and says he wants to come back to marry you, I won't agree! An irresponsible man will delay you for the rest of your life!"
Zhao Chuning was silent, looking gloomy.
She never said anything, but continued to cut the fruit silently. Zhang Rong knew that she knew what was going on, so she didn't say anything more to annoy her.
