Passionate Devotion - Chapter 840

840 As long as you’re Alive 2

“It’s such an easy pleasure,” Leng Yejin said noncommittally.

“Have you ever been to a supermarket before?”

“From your tone, do you think I’m above the common populace?” Leng Yejin’s long arm was pressed against her waist. The nostalgic and sad man’s lips curved into a smile. Shuo loves to shop at the supermarket. He said that the supermarket is like an enlarged version of his home, and he could feel that he was not alone here. In the past, he would often drag me out to shop. He said that I was too tense, and that I could feel the breath of life when I walked in the supermarket.

“He’s right.” Tong Lu felt that she was enjoying this moment very much. I also think that it doesn’t matter what we buy or whether we buy anything. What I like is to push a cart with my family through the noisy shelves. It gives me the peace of a trivial life.

“He said the same thing,” Leng Yejin said thoughtfully.

Compared to him, Shuo knew more about life.

As he looked at the rows of shelves and the people walking to and fro, there were images in his mind that he could not get rid of. Back then, Shuo had dragged him to the supermarket countless times. He would also stand on the shelves and compare the different brands of potato chips to see which flavor was her favorite. He would take the yogurt sample from the saleswoman and try it out. Then, he would be tricked by the saleswoman into putting a box into the cart.

That image remained in his heart. It was heartwarming yet painful. He no longer had the chance to reprimand Shuo for dragging him to the supermarket for an hour. It was a waste of his time, even though he could earn a lot of money in that short hour.

But what if he still had a chance?

A complicated and difficult-to-swallow expression flashed across Leng Yejin’s face. He realized that he was feeling extremely conflicted. He hoped that the man in the villa was Shuo. At least, that meant that he was still alive. However, he was extremely resistant to this fact because it represented deception.

To him, that kind of deception would be like five lightning strikes.

Why did Shuo lie to him? Why did she imitate him? He didn’t want to exchange his sincerity for fickleness.

In his mind, Shuo was not a scheming person. In his mind, Shuo was just a sick and weak brother who would even take in a sick puppy by the road and take good care of it.

“Ye Jin? Ye Jin?” Tong Lu called him softly. She felt that his complexion seemed to be affected by jet lag. It made her heart ache. He must be worried about ye Rong. She wanted to divert his attention.

Leng Yejin gathered his thoughts, lowered his head, and looked at her.

Tong Lu pointed at the top of the shelf. help me get that. I can’t get it.

Leng Yejin followed her line of sight. He reached out with his long arm, picked up a can of walnut meat, and stuffed it into her hand. Tong Lu noticed that it did not taste like what she liked, so she returned the can to him. help me pick a box of milk-flavored ones. I don’t want the original flavor.

“Make way, please make way.” At this moment, a supermarket staff pushed a large cart of goods over.

Leng Yejin had no choice but to move to the side. She had no choice but to stand close to his chest. Tong Lu was squeezed between him and the shelf. She had no choice but to put her arms around his upper body to support herself.

Leng Yejin stood in front of her and tried to identify which of the boxes had a Milky smell. However, Tong Lu’s attention was completely on him. She pressed her face against him, as if she enjoyed the feeling. After the supermarket staff drove the car away, Leng Yejin took a step back. Her arms were still wrapped around his upper body. She raised her head slightly, waiting for him to choose.
