Under One Person: The comprehension is beyond heaven, shocking everything

Chapter 517 Chen Duo's Morning Blossoms and Evening Blossoms Open the Door to a New World

"Alright, alright, if you keep doing this the boss will cry."

Liao Zhong smiled and stopped Chen Duo who wanted to continue inserting coins.

"Is this enough? Shall we go look somewhere else?"

Chen Duo stopped and looked at the little dolls at his feet.

He looked at Liao Zhong again and nodded slightly.

She bent down, gathered all the dolls together, and held them in her arms.

The two walked out of the game hall and rejoined the flow of people in the mall.

Chen Duo, holding a few stuffed toys in her arms, seemed a little more down-to-earth than before.

They passed by a clothing store with simple and bright decoration. The models in the window were wearing beautiful dresses.

Liao Zhong saw that Chen Duo's eyes stayed on the window for more than three seconds.

"Go in and take a look?"

Liao Zhong suggested.

Chen Duo seemed a little hesitant. She looked at her simple casual clothes and then at the stylish decoration of the store.

"Let's go and take a look."

Liao Zhong took her in without saying anything.

The store guide came up to him enthusiastically, but Liao Zhong waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to follow.

He took Chen Duo and walked slowly through the women's clothing area.

Chen Duo's eyes swept over the clothes of various styles.

There was curiosity in his eyes, but also a hint of alienation that seemed out of place.

"How about this one?"

Liao Zhong picked up a light blue dress and held it in front of her.

"It feels like it suits you."

Chen Duo looked at herself in the mirror. The girl in the mirror was wearing simple casual clothes.

Holding a few cheap dolls in his arms, his eyes were empty.

It seems as if there is an invisible membrane separating it from this glamorous world.

She looked at the dress in Liao Zhong's hand again. The soft blue color reminded her of a long time ago.

It seemed like a sky I had seen in some vague memory.

"Go and try?"

Liao Zhong encouraged.

Chen Duo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

She took the skirt and walked into the fitting room.

Liao Zhong was waiting outside, feeling even more nervous than when he was at the entrance of the game hall just now.

He didn't know what he was expecting, maybe he just wanted to see a little more color in this girl.

Not long after, the curtain of the fitting room was drawn open and Chen Duo walked out.

The light blue dress set off her slightly pale skin, but it looked unexpectedly fresh and soft.

The skirt is simple and elegant, with the hem slightly flared above the knee.

It adds a touch of girlish softness to her.

She stood in front of the mirror somewhat uncomfortably, looking at the completely different self in the mirror.

There was a hint of strangeness and a barely perceptible, faint joy in his eyes.

Liao Zhong looked at her, and his breathing seemed to stop for a moment.

The girl in the mirror is no longer the Chen Duo who was burdened with the shadow of the poison and had empty eyes.

But she is an ordinary, even pretty young girl.

That fleeting joy, like a faint light,

It penetrated the haze that had shrouded her for years and illuminated her original appearance.

"very nice."

Liao Zhong's voice was a little hoarse.

He took a step forward, looked carefully at Chen Duo in the mirror, and then looked at herself.

“It really suits you.”

Chen Duo raised her hand and gently touched the fabric of the skirt.

A soft touch came from my fingertips.

She raised her head and looked at Liao Zhong.

This time, her eyes were no longer completely empty and calm.

There seemed to be some shyness in it that a girl of this age should have.

And a tiny ray of light that comes from being affirmed.

Then she smiled.

It's not the almost imperceptible curve at the corners of the mouth as before.

It was a genuine smile, a little awkward, but extremely real.

That smile was very shallow, very faint,

Like a stream flowing quietly under the thin ice in early spring,

But it instantly melted all the coldness and alienation on her face.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Liao Zhong stared at her blankly, watching the smile bloom on her face.

Look at the pure light in her eyes that I have never seen before.

This is what she should be like.

An ordinary girl who would be happy about a new dress and would give a shy smile to the mirror.

Years of depression, guilt, worry and powerlessness,

At this moment, it surged up like a flood that broke through the dam.

He looked at the girl in front of him who had briefly escaped the shadow of fate and revealed her true self.

Thinking of the ending she was about to face, thinking of her calm determination,

Great sadness and heartache gripped his heart.

He wanted to say something, but found his throat was blocked tightly.

I can't utter a single word.

My vision blurred uncontrollably, and warm liquid welled up in my eye sockets.

Liao Zhong turned around abruptly, raised his hand and quickly wiped his eyes.

He didn't want Chen Duo to see his loss of composure at this moment.

"Just...just this one."

He forced himself to suppress his sobs, his voice was heavily nasal, but he tried to pretend that nothing had happened.

"It looks good on you, so we bought it."

He didn't dare to look at Chen Duo's face again, for fear that he would completely lose control.

That smile was too short.

Too precious,

It's too cruel.

Liao Zhong turned around quickly and walked quickly to the cashier counter, his voice carrying a subtle hint of haste:

"Just this one, wrap it up."

He didn't even ask the price, he just took out the card and handed it over.

The shopping guide took it with a smile.

His gaze lingered on Chen Duo, who was wearing the new dress, for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Chen Duo stood there, looking down at her skirt.

Her fingers twisted the fabric of her skirt unconsciously.

That smile just now seemed to have exhausted all her courage.

At this moment, his face regained its usual calmness.

But beneath the calm, something seemed to have quietly loosened.

After paying the bill, Liao Zhong took the packaged clothes and handed the bag containing the doll to Chen Duo.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more relaxed:

"You've been walking for the whole morning, are you tired?

There's a dessert shop in front, it looks nice, let's go sit down and have something to eat?"

Chen Duo raised her head and looked in the direction of Liao Zhong's finger.

It was a sweet dessert shop with a cozy decoration.

The window is filled with colorful and exquisitely shaped cakes and snacks, exuding a sweet aroma.

She seemed to have never seen such food before, and there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She nodded slightly.

The two walked into the dessert shop and found a seat by the window.

The store was filled with the sweet aroma of cream and fruit, and soft music was playing.

Liao Zhong pushed the menu in front of Chen Duo:

"See what you want to eat and order whatever you want."

Chen Duo picked up the menu and looked at the colorful pictures and unfamiliar names on it, seeming a little overwhelmed.

She had never been exposed to these things, and the special nature of the poison made her diet in the past monotonous and strictly controlled.

"what is this?"

She pointed to a small cake with strawberries and cream and asked in a low voice.

"This is strawberry mousse cake." Liao Zhong explained.

“It’s made with strawberries, cream, and cake. It’s sweet and should be delicious.”

He pointed to the side again:

“This is a mango pancake, with a thin pancake on the outside and cream and mango on the inside.

This is tiramisu, it tastes like coffee and cocoa..."

He introduced patiently, and Chen Duo listened attentively, with curiosity growing in his eyes.

"I...want to try it." She whispered.

Liao Zhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but a trace of sadness flashed across the depths of his eyes.
