Chapter 46：Handsome Couple (1/2)
Song Sheng followed her; his sand-coloured long coat swayed against the wind in sync with his ink-black hair. She kept her head up high, avoiding to look at him directly.
They got into her Audi and made their way to his apartment, and the two did not speak to each other on their way to the Wake complex.
When they arrived in his apartment building, they both silently entered.
Qian Meigui placed the backpack she carried on the couch before she took a seat. Song Sheng put his coat in the closet. As he straightened his collared shirt, he asked her, ”Did you eat anything before you came to set?”
Qian Meigui shook her head, ”No,” she answered.
”All right, let's go then.”
”Where?” she asked puzzled, ”We just got here.”
Song Sheng smiled, ”we need to get some groceries.”
”You're going to cook?” she questioned.
”Mhm,” he said.
Qian Meigui nodded, surprised. Growing up, she was the one who cooked for Song Sheng. He would forget meals since he would focus on studying. Therefore, she would bring it to him, and he smiled each time she did.
Qian Meigui followed Song Sheng to a grocery store within the neighbourhood. He drove a cart around the store as she paced beside him. She had to take bigger steps since he was a whole foot taller.
”Pick whatever you want,” he said quietly, interrupting her thoughts.
”Anything?” she asked, holding her hands behind her back.
”Anything.”
Qian Meigui tilted her head at him and shot Song Sheng a genuine grin. She then began to walk faster than him to pick up items from the shelves. Within a few minutes, she held a bunch of items in her arms, outlining her tiny frame.
Song Sheng smiled at her gently. They both roamed around the aisles when Song Sheng noticed an older woman having trouble reaching one of the shelves. Instinctively, Song Sheng reached up to grab a small tin of herbal seasoning for her. The woman looked over at him with her mouth slightly parted, surprise flashing across her face.
”Well, thank you, handsome young man.”
Song Sheng offered her a bright smile with gleaming teeth. ”It's no worries,” he said.
The older woman glanced at Qian Meigui, and she covered her gaping mouth. ”Oh my? What a handsome couple.”
