Chapter 44

The two naturally walked together.
Shuangyun didn't mind. He could help her see what to buy.
Only Cheng Lang seemed more silent than before, with fewer smiles. Actually similar to Cheng Lang before they were together.
Cheng Lang also put some vegetables and seasonings in Shuangyun's basket.
Cheng Lang asked what she'd been doing recently?
Shuangyun said she was volunteering at an animal adoption center.
Shuangyun also threw this question back at him.
Cheng Lang said he was looking at furniture. He could order online, and it could be delivered on the day he moved in.
Shuangyun's mouth curved: "That's really good."
The two checked out and walked toward the apartment together.
Shuangyun had bought two bags of things. Cheng Lang only had milk and cereal.
They got on the elevator and quickly reached the 10th floor.
Cheng Lang said: "You still have things you didn't take."
Shuangyun looked at what she was holding and said: "Then I'll come down to get them in a bit."
Cheng Lang said: "I'll go up with you. Otherwise you don't have a key, can't get to the 10th floor."
Shuangyun didn't refuse. She first went to her apartment to put things down, then followed Cheng Lang back to the 10th floor.
Familiar hallway. Shuangyun stopped at his apartment door.
Cheng Lang opened the door and said come in first.
Shuangyun didn't hesitate and went in.
This place was no different from when she'd left two weeks ago. Cheng Lang set down the shopping bag in his hand and turned to go to the bedroom.
When he came out again, Shuangyun saw he was holding one of her black hair ties.
An incredulous look... Shuangyun laughed.
She just stood at the door, watching Cheng Lang expressionlessly hold that hair tie.
Shuangyun took a breath and said: "You didn't just run into me at the supermarket today, did you?"
Cheng Lang said: "I did."
"You were following me?"
"I saw you at the supermarket entrance and went in." He was quite honest now.
"No wonder. You're never someone who'd waste time going to the supermarket just to buy a bottle of milk and a box of cereal." Shuangyun said.
Cheng Lang admitted very easily: "Right."
Shuangyun pursed her lips. "Okay, give it to me."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the hair tie from Cheng Lang's hand.
The black hair tie hooked on Shuangyun's finger, also firmly hooked on Cheng Lang's finger.
He didn't let go.
The thin hair tie stretched between their fingers, unmoving.
Cheng Lang tightened his fingers. Shuangyun's heart skipped a beat.
His gaze only focused on Shuangyun's face. He said calmly:
"I still have some time before I leave."
"Shuangyun Liang, if you want to sleep, you can still continue using me."
