Chapter 743
Just as Liam was about to speak, a child ran past and accidentally bumped into Celeste. The food she was handing to Liam shook, and all the meat fell to the ground.
Looking at the meat on the ground, Celeste was heartbroken and thought the kid was really annoying!
She frowned slightly and said unhappily, “I’ll get you some more.”
Seeing her like this, Liam couldn’t help but laugh. He whispered, “It’s okay, you eat.”
A food lover willing to share food with him already proved that she had him in her heart.
Even if he was not her most important person.
But in the end, Celeste still shared some with him, although it was actually not very tasty. The meat was too fatty, a bit salty, a bit too spicy, and totally not to his liking. But Liam didn’t spit it out because Celeste said it was delicious.
Nicolas once told him not to discourage her from what she liked, and that was the way to show her respect.
After eating, Celeste took him to a store to queue for drinks.
The weather was hot, and the drink business was booming.
They hadn’t bought their drinks yet when suddenly it started to rain.
At first, everyone thought the rain wouldn’t last long, but soon, the rain got heavier and heavier, with the raindrops falling densely.
Celeste pulled Liam and ran into a fruit shop to take shelter from the rain.
Even so, their clothes were still quite wet from the rain.
In summer, people wore less clothing, and once the clothes got wet, they would stick to the body.
For guys, it was okay, but for girls, it could be a bit awkward.
Celeste’s white T–shirt was soaked through by the rain, sticking to her body and revealing the color of her underwear.
They stood at the door. When people came in to shelter from the rain, their eyes inevitably swept over Celeste. Although they immediately looked away when they met Liam’s gaze, this situation was making Liam very uncomfortable.
He pursed his lips and draped the shirt he had taken off earlier over Celeste.
Celeste naturally noticed this. She pulled the shirt tighter and leaned towards Liam.
This move made Liam cheer up. He lifted a hand and propped it on the glass window, perfectly forming a semi–circle, enclosing Celeste within.
Before long, the small shop was packed with people seeking shelter from the rain.
Seeing this, the owner quickly came up with a plan.
He cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, my shop is small, and when it’s crowded, there’s no air circulation. I need to take care of the customers who are here to shop first. I hope everyone can understand.”
His meaning was clear: if you want to shelter from the rain here, you need to buy some fruit first.
Hearing this, two people left.
The rest gradually started picking fruit; after all, no one knew how long this rain would last.
Celeste was displeased with the owner’s behavior. She pulled Liam and wanted to leave.
Liam pulled her back and whispered, “Just buy a little bit; it’s thundering outside; it’s not safe.”
Celeste said unhappily, “Buy the cheapest ones.”
Liam picked two peaches, only for the owner to say that he didn’t allow any purchases that weighed less than five pounds.
