Chapter 518 Chen Duo opens a new world, Liao Zhong cries
Liao Zhong waved to the waiter:
"This, this, and this... your store's signature dish, I'll give you a small portion of each."
Soon, several exquisite little desserts were brought up and filled the small table.
Chen Duo looked at the beautiful foods that looked like works of art in front of her and didn't know where to start.
Liao Zhong picked up a small spoon and handed it to her:
“Try this mousse.”
Chen Duo imitated him.
Carefully, he scooped out a small piece of pink cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
At that moment,
The delicate cream, sweet strawberry jam and soft cake base melted on her taste buds.
Brings a feeling of pure sweetness and satisfaction that you have never experienced before.
Her eyes widened slightly, and the hand holding the spoon paused slightly.
It was a completely unfamiliar, yet extremely pleasant feeling.
It is completely different from the feeling of eating to maintain body functions in the past.
It's a... pleasure.
She scooped another spoonful and savored it carefully.
Then, she looked at the mango pancake next to her with obvious anticipation in her eyes.
Liao Zhong looked at the glittering light in her eyes.
Watching her taste each dessert with a slightly clumsy but exploratory look,
The sharp pain in my heart surged up again.
But at the same time, there is also a hint of warmth quietly spreading.
He picked up the tissue and gently wiped away the cream that accidentally stained the corner of her mouth.
The movements are natural and indulgent.
"Eat slowly, there's still plenty."
His voice was so gentle that even he was surprised.
Chen Duo didn't seem to notice his actions, her attention was completely attracted by the dessert in front of her.
She ate it in small bites, trying each new flavor.
There will be a little light in the eyes, as if the door to a new world has been opened.
She ate very seriously and devotedly.
Forget everything around you for a moment.
Forgetting who you are and forgetting the impending end.
This was an experience she had never had before, like a belated compensation for her childhood.
At another table not far away, Su Chen was holding a cup of coffee, his eyes calmly fixed on Chen Duo.
The subtle changes in her facial expressions and the twinkle in her eyes did not escape his eyes.
Zhang Chulan sat opposite him.
Looking at Chen Duo, he almost looked like he was "wolfing down" the food.
He looked at Liao Zhong's complex expression of both distress and relief.
He sighed softly, "Oh, it's really unpleasant to watch."
Feng Baobao munched on an ice cream cone expressionlessly, but glanced at Chen Duo and Liao Zhong from time to time.
In a further corner, Wang Zhenqiu was bored and stirring the ice in his cup with a straw, and said to Xiao Zizai:
"Hey, Lao Xiao, what do you think this girl is thinking about now?
After having a good meal and wearing new clothes, you won't change your mind, right?"
Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses, with an unpredictable smile on his face:
"Who knows? The human heart is the most complicated thing.
However, judging from Lao Liao's expression, he really treats her like his own daughter."
His eyes fell on Chen Duo, with analysis and inquiry.
"This kind of short-lived happiness can sometimes...
It strengthens some of the determination."
Wang Zhenqiu curled his lips and said nothing more.
In the dessert shop, Chen Duo had finished her third dessert and slowed down.
She took the small spoon and scratched the empty plate unconsciously.
There was a trace of satisfaction and calmness on his face.
But in that calmness, there seemed to be something else.
A little nostalgia for this world that I have just experienced in concrete terms.
Liao Zhong looked at her quietly without urging her.
The sunlight shines through the glass window, casting a warm glow on her newly-worn light blue dress.
It also illuminated the several stuffed dolls she was holding in her arms.
this moment,
She looked so normal, so alive.
But Liao Zhong knew, and Su Chen knew,
Beneath this brief calm, undercurrents are still surging.
The final decision, which belonged to Chen Duo herself, did not change.
And the opportunity that Su Chen was waiting for,
And as this calmness accumulates, it gets closer and closer.
"Are you full?" Liao Zhong asked softly as he watched Chen Duo put down the spoon.
Chen Duo nodded and looked out the window.
Not far away is the entrance to the cinema in the mall, with huge posters showing various movies currently being shown.
There are colorful cartoons, action movies with intense fighting, and romance movies with handsome men and beautiful women.
Her gaze lingered on the posters for a moment, with a hint of emotion that was difficult to read in her eyes.
"Want to see a movie?"
Liao Zhong caught her gaze and asked,
"Pick one you like."
Chen Duo turned her head and looked at Liao Zhong, seeming a little surprised.
She was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head slightly:
"No need, Uncle Liao."
"Let's go. It's rare to come out."
Liao Zhong stood up, his tone was gentle and unyielding.
"Just think of it as accompanying Uncle Liao. I haven't been to a movie theater in a long time."
He picked up the bag containing clothes and dolls and walked towards the cinema first.
Chen Duo hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
At the ticket office, Liao Zhong let Chen Duo choose by herself.
Chen Duo looked at the colorful posters and finally pointed to an animated film that looked bright and fantastic in style.
"Okay, that's it."
Liao Zhong bought tickets and a large bucket of popcorn, and also bought two cups of Coke, and stuffed one of the cups and half a bucket of popcorn into Chen Duo's arms.
When I checked my tickets and entered the theater, there were already quite a few people sitting in the theater, most of them were parents with their children.
The lights dimmed, the huge screen lit up, and the cheerful opening music started.
Chen Duo held popcorn in her hand, sat upright, and looked up at the screen.
Her profile flickered in the light of the screen, and it was impossible to tell her expression.
But those eyes seemed to be really attracted by the bizarre fairy tale world on the screen.
Liao Zhong sat next to her but didn't watch the movie.
The dim environment was like a safe cocoon, wrapping him up and isolating him from prying eyes from the outside world.
He turned his head and looked at Chen Duo's silhouette with complicated eyes.
Watching her shoulders shake slightly because of a funny action on the screen,
Watching her subconsciously pick up a piece of popcorn, put it in her mouth, and chew it slowly.
She looked so focused, so devoted,
It was as if she was just an ordinary girl who came to watch a movie.
But Liao Zhong knew it was not the case.
The look in your eyes that lights up in the dessert shop because of the sweetness you have never tasted before.
That awkward but genuine smile that appeared in front of the mirror in the clothing store because of a new dress.
The calmness and concentration revealed by the precise control when catching the doll.
All of this is like a brilliant but short-lived firework.
It illuminates the youth that she should have, but also foreshadows her impending destruction.
The more she showed her curiosity and love for this world, the more Liao Zhong's heart ached.
This girl he watched grow up, this girl he brought out from the dark laboratory,
But the girl was trapped in another cage. She shouldn't have ended up like this.
