"Hmm..." Shen Mochen smiled like a cat that had stolen something. He leaned over and kissed Tao Zi's cheek gently.
It only took fifteen minutes to walk from this square back to the hotel where they were staying, but Taozi only walked for five minutes and lay on the ground unwilling to go any further.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with confusion.
"I..." Taozi squatted on the ground pitifully, with her head buried in her knees, muttering for a long time without saying a word.
"kindness??"
"I...can't walk anymore..." Taozi gritted her teeth, thought for a long time, and finally came up with these few words.
"Can't walk anymore?" Shen Mochen looked at Taozi's subtle expression, was startled for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Did you eat too much to hold on?"
"No..." Taozi buried her head even lower, thinking, "I've already told you that I can't walk. Why can't you just carry me back? Why are you still asking why..."
"What's going on??" Shen Mochen looked at her pitiful squatting on the ground and couldn't help but squat down too. He looked at her with concern. After thinking for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Are you...
That one is coming??”
"No..." Taozi suddenly became angry. How long has it been? You are still wondering why I can't walk, so you couldn't help but stare at him with a pair of big moist eyes and said: "My legs are sore."
, it’s sore and painful, you just caused it..."
"..." Shen Mochen was slightly startled. He looked at Taozi's hair that was blowing up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He thought for a moment and realized what Taozi was talking about. The corners of his thin lips couldn't help but evoke a touch of warmth.
With a smile, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Taozi's furry head, and whispered: "Taozi, if you speak louder, everyone on the street will know why your legs are sore..."
"You..." Tao Ziqian stared at her big eyes and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Come up." Shen Mochen turned around, his back facing Taozi, and motioned for her to lie down.
Tao Zi was not polite and immediately jumped on Shen Mochen's back like a hungry wolf attacking a tiger.
His back was thin and warm. Tao Zi lay on his back, pressing her cheek against his, feeling the warmth coming from his back. The street lights on both sides of the road, one after another, kept casting their shadows.
Elongating and shortening, Taozi watched their two shadows overlap each other, long and short, short and long, and couldn't help but think of Shen Mochen when he was a child, and he would always carry her back step by step after he fell.
Unexpectedly, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The little girl back then is now an adult. There are still many decades to come. Will they stay together like this until they grow old?
"What are you thinking about??" Shen Mochen could feel her soft cheek pressing against his shoulder. However, after walking this long, she had been so quiet without saying a word, which made him feel a little abnormal.
"I was thinking..." Taozi's hand around Shen Mochen's neck tightened a little, and she looked at the street lights that were gradually being abandoned behind her, and whispered in his ear: "It would be great if we could keep walking like this for the rest of our lives..."
"Well..." Shen Mochen's voice paused for a moment before continuing calmly.
