Chapter 1390: The Story of Ling and Heng (653)
Thankfully, Qiao Fei had brought his girlfriend here. The two of them had already paid the bill. Otherwise, Li Nanheng would have pulled a long face.
Feng Ling ignored him. Li Nanheng walked behind her. In any case, she couldn’t leave him here in his current state.
Li Nanheng had one hand on the shopping cart and the other in his pocket as he followed her. The fish had been prepared. Feng Ling went to take it. When she turned back, she saw that Li Nanheng had obediently placed his hand on the cart and did not take a step away. Her heart softened. Since he could not see, she sighed helplessly and chuckled softly.
In the past, when Qiao Fei was in the base, he was already jealous. Now, he was also jealous. Did he really care about her to this extent?
What was so good about her?
Feng Ling gently placed the bag containing the fish into the cart and walked over to stand in front of Li Nanheng. However, she maintained a distance of about a meter between them and just looked at him. The man was at least a head taller than her. She raised her head slightly and looked at him without making a sound. When she walked over, there was no sound under her feet. People were coming and going, so he might not be able to hear anything.
Li Nanheng stood there. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, he did not hear her return. His expression did not change, but from the initial leisurely wait, he gradually straightened up. Then he turned his face toward the freshwater food area for a while, as though he was not sure if she had gone to buy something else or if she was delayed by something. However, he could not see nor could he walk around. After all, he could not see. If he really walked away, no one could predict what would happen.
Especially if Feng Ling came back and found that he was gone, she would definitely be angry.
Li Nanheng stood there without moving. His left hand was casually placed on the shopping cart’s handle, and his other hand was in his pocket. Right now, he raised his right hand and placed both hands on the shopping cart.
It was only a very slight movement, but it had changed from the calm and leisurely att.i.tude he had earlier to the mood of obediently holding onto the shopping cart and waiting for her to come back to find him.
Feng Ling found it funny and suddenly raised her hand to help him adjust his sungla.s.ses. However, the man habitually raised his hand and quickly held her wrist. She could not see his eyes, but she could feel the coldness on his face.
However, in the next moment, when he realized that the person in front of him was Feng Ling, the coldness on the man’s face immediately dissipated. At the same time, he slowly moved his hand up and held her hand. “Why did you take so long to come back?”
Feng Ling curved her lips. Her laughter did not come out of her mouth. Instead, she spoke calmly as though nothing had happened: “I bought some other things while I was at it. I was delayed for a few minutes.”
Li Nanheng’s expression had relaxed, but he did not let go of her hand. “Are we going back now?”
Feng Ling did not shake him off. She only smiled and pushed the shopping cart toward the cash register with him. As they walked, she said, “Did you think that someone wanted to touch you?”
“You didn’t move when you stood in front of me. All of a sudden, I felt someone’s hand approach. It’s only for 0.1 seconds. A normal person would be on guard.” Li Nanheng’s tone was normal.
However, since he said this, it meant that he had already understood. She must have deliberately kept silent in front of him.
She said that she went to buy something else at the last minute, but it was just an excuse to fool him. He did not argue with her.
There were too many people at the counter. Feng Ling and Li Nanheng went to the ATM to pay and left with two shopping bags.
After going downstairs, she placed the things she had bought into the car. Feng Ling glanced at the sky and narrowed her eyes at the sunlight. The weather was very good.
“Do you want to go straight home or find a place where the air is good? I think you should be able to hold on today.” Feng Ling evaluated his strength when he suddenly held her wrist. From this, it could be seen that although Li Nanheng’s body needed to rest and his stamina was much weaker than before, in an emergency, his strength would not be weak.
“Up to you.” Li Nanheng stood by the car and listened to the sound of her placing the things into the trunk. He turned his head in the direction of the warm sunlight and seemed to sense that the weather was really good. He asked, “Is there an amus.e.m.e.nt park nearby?”
After all, Li Nanheng used to frequent the condo. He knew more about the buildings nearby than she did.
“I think so. I didn’t pay much attention.”
“Let’s take a walk at the amus.e.m.e.nt park.”
Feng Ling could not figure it out. The two of them were adults. Why go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park instead of a park to enjoy the sun?
However, she recalled that the amus.e.m.e.nt park they happened to pa.s.s by on the way back. There was no need to change the direction of the car. Since it was convenient on the way back, she did not have any objections. “Alright, let’s take a walk.”
Li Nanheng smiled. Feng Ling glanced at him again and found that ever since this man was injured, perhaps because he couldn’t see, his smile was no longer as annoying as before. His smile would become gentler and more restrained because there were too many uncertain factors in front of him. Although he was still the same person, he seemed to have become more cautious with some unnoticeable habits.
This caution came from his eyes.
He had never said that she minded if he could see it, but he was in the dark every day. No matter if it were day or night, no one would feel comfortable.
Feng Ling closed the trunk and reached out to hold his arm. She supported him to the car door and opened it. “Get in. Let’s go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park.”
Li Nanheng seemed to be reluctant to part with the warm sunlight outside the car. After entering the car, Feng Ling opened the back window for him. The weather wasn’t hot to the point where he needed to turn on the air-conditioner.
After driving to the amus.e.m.e.nt park, Feng Ling found a place closest to the main entrance and parked the car. When she went down, she happened to see a pa.s.sage extending from the outside of the amus.e.m.e.nt park. On both sides were various children’s toys and food. There were also many children blowing bubbles around.
“You sent Momo to the Feng family?” Li Nanheng heard the children’s laughter around him and asked softly as Feng Ling held his arm.
“En, send them to my grandparents. This way, they’ll have someone to accompany them. I’ll be more at ease.”
