Chapter 463: Chapter 463
The landlady, although not young anymore, couldn’t help but become infatuated upon seeing how handsome Li Qingshen was. Her eyes, filled with a touch of admiration, stared at Li Qingshen, looking him up and down, inside and out, for quite a while, without even blinking. Fortunately, Li Qingshen was used to such attention and managed to keep his expression completely still.
Leaving the landlady’s place, Li Qingshen looked at his watch. It was still early, so he turned to Ling Momo and said, "Let’s go to the supermarket."
Ling Momo thought he needed to buy something and nodded, saying, "Okay."
The two of them then went downstairs and headed to the nearest supermarket in the complex. After Li Qingshen had picked and chosen for a long time, he paid for many items and continued walking towards the complex with Ling Momo.
The moonlight, starlight, and the lights from the complex made the whole world look as beautiful as an illusion.
Both of them were silent, walking shoulder to shoulder. They were close to each other, and at one point when Ling Momo was checking her phone, her hand accidentally touched Li Qingshen’s.
Both of their bodies trembled slightly. Li Qingshen turned his head and, under the splendor of the light, stared at her profile for a long time. Then, he handed over the items in his hand to Ling Momo and suddenly said, "These are for you. Keep them somewhere, just in case."
Ling Momo took them from him and, upon opening the bag, found it was filled with various small everyday items. She felt a warmth in her heart, looked up, and gave Li Qingshen a faint smile. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novᴇlfire.net
Her smile was particularly vivid, and her eyes shone brightly. In the deep silence of the night, Li Qingshen gazed at her beautiful face and couldn’t help but smile quietly to himself.
After they stood quietly for a while, he suddenly lifted his hand and gently touched her hair, pausing for a moment before parting his lips. With a gentle voice that carried a low tenderness, he said, "Let’s go up."
It took a moment for Ling Momo to nod, and grasping the weighty items, she turned and went upstairs.
Li Qingshen watched her figure vanish from sight and stood there for a long time before finally turning and getting into his car, driving away.

After Ling Momo got home, she took a bath, casually wrapped a bath towel around her body, and covered her hair with a towel. Then she walked out of the bathroom.
Taking her phone, she first browsed Weibo and saw someone had posted: "Confess to someone using the simplest words."
Ling Momo clicked on the replies and found that most answers were "I love you," along with many others like "Having you for a lifetime," "Love you forever," "To hold your hand and grow old with you," and so on. Despite the words being commonly used and quite endearing, they still didn’t seem beautiful enough to her. Thus, on impulse, Ling Momo sent Enson the post about "making a confession to someone using the simplest words."
It took quite a while before Enson replied with only the simplest character: [You]
Ling Momo frowned. You?
Unable to figure it out, she pouted and replied to Enson: [You? How is this a confession?]
This time Enson replied quickly, saying: [Isn’t simplicity what you asked for? This is the simplest confession!]
[How so?] Ling Momo sent back, with a "question mark" emoji.
