Chapter 825: “Chance Encounter”

Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that there was no room for discussion, An Nuo could only put aside her plans to go to the production team. After the car sent her to the entrance of the district, she gradually walked towards her house.

However, thinking that she had not returned home for a few days and might not have much food at home, An Nuo simply turned around and walked towards the large supermarket.

If he didn’t want to order takeout, she had to buy something to fill her stomach.

An Nuo stood in the fruits area and looked at the dazzling array of fruits in front of her. For a moment, she fell into a dilemma.

She was the type to buy a little of everything, so after a while, she held a few fruit bags in her hand. After realizing that she didn’t push the shopping cart over, she hurriedly walked to the side with the fruits she had chosen.

She was holding too many things, and the twisting path was not very smooth. An Nuo felt that something was wrong after taking a few steps.

The mango placed at the top was on the verge of collapse. Then, as An Nuo took a few quick steps, it was the first to collapse and started rolling towards the ground.

Just as she couldn’t free her hands and was thinking that she might have to “bury” a mango, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the side and helped An Nuo catch the fruit firmly. The tragic scene she imagined didn’t appear.

“You’re walking around the supermarket alone and still carrying so much stuff.” Murong Chen took the initiative to share her burden. Without a word, he carried most of the bags in An Nuo’s arms to his side.

It was clearly a large pile of things, but it seemed to be effortless in his hands.

“…W-why are you here?” When An Nuo saw the other party, she pursed her lips and spoke, as if she didn’t know what to say, but she still greeted him.

Murong Chen raised his eyebrows. “This is clearly the supermarket below my house.”

With his answer, An Nuo realized that her question just now was a little silly, and her face immediately turned red.

Actually, Murong Chen was here to ask for the answer he didn’t get previously.

Seeing that An Nuo’s face was a little red, Murong Chen didn’t say anything about this matter. He only smiled casually and helped An Nuo put everything on the shopping cart at the side. Then, he naturally pushed the cart alongside An Nuo and began to shop in the supermarket.

That day, he didn’t receive An Nuo’s answer, and Murong Chen didn’t take the opportunity to give her the gift he had chosen for her.

He knew what it meant to hold and release. He would try his best to get what he wanted, so he gave An Nuo enough time to think.

However, the other party didn’t reply for the next three days. Murong Chen had been living here recently, but he had never heard the other party return home.

The rabbit couldn’t be allowed to keep shrinking back and not make a sound.

For this, Murong Chen had no choice but to use a small “privilege” to ask his Little Sister to call her manager to let An Nuo go home to rest.

“Coincidentally, I also have something to buy. Why don’t we go together?”

He took the opportunity to extend an invitation. Then, he saw An Nuo nod her head silently, as if she was acquiescing.

The two of them walked side by side by the shelves. Murong Chen pushed the shopping cart and placed some things in it from time to time, as if he was really here to shop and had coincidentally met An Nuo.

On the other hand, An Nuo walked silently at the side and even forgot what she wanted to buy. She watched Murong Chen take the things the entire time.

The more one wanted to escape, the more certain things would appear in front of them.

Looking at Murong Chen’s side profile, An Nuo thought that she would peek at him from time to time to vent her thoughts. After circling around a few times, she finally couldn’t help but blurt out.

“Your words the other day—what did they mean?”

She could feel that after she said this, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to fall silent.

Murong Chen calmly placed a box of strawberries into the shopping cart before slowly looking up at An Nuo. “It’s exactly as it means.”

“What do you think of the comments that say we’re a good match?”

It was not the same time, nor was it a familiar environment.

However, the same question appeared in front of her again, and it was even more straightforward than last time.

“I…” An Nuo could feel that her throat was a little dry.

Even when she heard this question for the second time, her mind was still blank. However, when she looked at Murong Chen’s gentle eyes, An Nuo felt that some thoughts in her heart were stirring.

“I have someone I like,” she said.

These words were a little hazy. It could be considered that An Nuo thought that she had a sense of propriety.

She really didn’t want to make things too ugly because of the failure of the confession, but she couldn’t help but feel a faint anticipation after saying it.

After the first sentence started, the following words seemed to be much more coherent, and there was no longer as much pressure as before.

“It’s just that the person I like is high up in the air. Perhaps those who want to woo him and be his girlfriend… can form a queue around the world.”

As An Nuo spoke, she couldn’t help but make a joke. However, she was still a little nervous to ease the atmosphere.

Murong Chen didn’t say anything. He only spoke after she finished speaking.

“That’s quite a coincidence. I like someone too.”

When she heard the other party say the second half of the sentence, An Nuo’s heart, which had just relaxed a little, immediately began to pound again.

An indescribable sense of loss quickly struck her chest from the other party’s answer, spreading from her chest to her limbs.

An Nuo couldn’t help but lower her head, not wanting Murong Chen to see her expression at this moment.

Although she couldn’t see her current performance, it shouldn’t be very good.

But Murong Chen had not finished speaking. “It’s a pity that the person I like doesn’t know what I’m thinking.”

When he said this, Murong Chen became even more determined.

Although he didn’t know when this thought appeared, when Murong Chen realized that his emotions had taken root in his mind and gradually grown into a towering tree, everything was already set in stone.

“I see…”

An Nuo took a deep breath and smiled, trying her best to look up and meet Murong Chen’s eyes.

She was even thinking about how to call Murong Qiao tonight and cry that she had fallen out of love.

However, this seemed to be the case. After all, Murong Chen was so high up in the air. He might have interacted with many outstanding girls usually. The possibility of him liking her was too small.

“You still have to say it out loud. Otherwise, it’ll be a pity if your crush ends up failing,” she suggested to the other party.

Although her crush had already ended, this didn’t delay An Nuo and she could still encourage the other party.

The more An Nuo thought about it, the gloomier she felt. However, she didn’t notice Murong Chen’s smiling eyes.

Seeing that An Nuo in front of him seemed to have misunderstood his words just now, Murong Chen wanted to laugh for a moment. However, it was rare to see her so disappointed. For a moment, he felt a rare evilness in his heart.

“I want to say it too, but unfortunately, the other party shouldn’t be able to hear it.”

When she heard Murong Chen say this, even An Nuo looked at him in surprise.

Her gaze seemed to be asking what kind of girl it was that even Murong Chen found it so difficult to chase after.

In the next second, she heard Murong Chen speak in a serious tone.

“After all, there should still be a long queue between us..”
