Lu Chengzhou picked red dates, black rice, milk, and bought a bunch of Gu Mang’s favorite dried food and fruits. He looked down at Gu Mang. “What else do you want to eat?”
Gu Mang glanced at the snacks in the shopping cart and said curtly, “Sweets.”
“Okay.” Lu Chengzhou looked at the sign, then took her to the snack shelves to grab some that she liked.
Then he held her hand and pushed the shopping cart with the other hand to check out. Because it was the weekend, there were many people in the checkout area. Gu Mang played a brain training game and beat all of the challenges in ten minutes.
Lu Chengzhou watched as Gu Mang played the game.
“Which one do you want?” said a girl softly nearby. “It seems that there are many new models.”
“Choose the one you think is most comfortable,” a man said openly. “You know my size.”
“Get lost!” said the girl as she lowered her voice even more. “I’m not buying this anymore!”
Lu Chengzhou’s hearing was very keen. Upon hearing the conversation he looked up. In front of them was a young couple who wore wedding rings on their ring fingers.
The man pressed the top of the woman’s head and laughed. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? We’re married. If you’re not going to buy it, I’ll buy it.”
The man grabbed two boxes of the new adult products and threw them into the shopping cart. The woman glared at him and angrily walked to the front of the cashier area, her back facing everyone.
Lu Chengzhou looked away and glanced at the colorful boxes on the shelf. His eyes gradually darkened with lust. Unconsciously, his grip on Gu Mang’s hand tightened.
Gu Mang was startled by the sudden forcefulness and looked up at him. Seeing that the man looked odd, she mumbled, “What’s wrong?”
Hearing the girl’s voice, Lu Chengzhou snapped out of it and looked down at her. Meeting her clear eyes, his gaze deepened again.
Her eyes were very pure and deep as a cold lake. Even though her eyes were cold they still charmed him.
She lifted her head slightly. Her neck was very fair in the light, like a premium jade, the blue blood vessels could be seen under her skin. Her collarbone was pretty with beautiful lines.
It was making him restless. His gaze darkened as he looked at her, like a wolf staring at its prey.
She suddenly caught a glimpse of a box of adult products that the person in front of them passed to the cashier and her eyes narrowed slightly.
She was about to say something when the cashier called out, “Next.”
Lu Chengzhou’s fingers moved slightly. He snapped out of it and his eyes narrowed as he held Gu Mang’s hand and went to check out. When they were done shopping, the two headed directly to the B2 parking lot.
Lu Chengzhou opened the car door and let her into the car first. He placed the food they bought at her feet and mumbled, “Open and eat what you want.”
Gu Mang looked at his solemn expression and couldn’t tell what it was about and she replied mildly with an ‘oh.’
Lu Chengzhou helped her fasten her seat belt and walked around to the driver’s seat. He turned to see Gu Mang opening up a pack of dried strawberries.
He chuckled softly and started the car. “Don’t eat too much. We’re going to eat when we get back.”
Gu Mang raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, picked a dried strawberry from the bag, and proffered to him. “One for you.”
Lu Chengzhou was dazed for a moment. He looked down at her slim, fair hand. His eyes quickly turned back onto the road as he opened his mouth.
His thin lips accidentally touched the girl’s fingertips and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. It was a rare feeling of nervousness.
She retracted her hand as though nothing happened, calmly commenting, “The strawberries are not too bad.”
Lu Chengzhou was speechless.
