FreeGoodNovelChapter 847 Chapter 847: Kyson was taken aback. He had always believed that, after experiencing so much, Carrie would have been hardened by life. Yet, somehow, she had preserved a quiet innocence within her.
A line from a book he once read surfaced in his mind-"Emerging from adversity without losing purity." He had always dismissed it as overly idealistic. How could someone walk through life's storms without being changed by them? But now, looking at Carrie, he realized that such a person did exist. And she had walked into his life.

Carrie selected a watermelon using Kyson's method, then looked up at him. "Do you want to cut it open now and see if I chose correctly?" The shopkeeper, who had been watching with amusement, smiled and added, "If it's not sweet, you can exchange it for another one, free of charge." Carrie shook her head. "I won't cut it open.

As she tucked her phone away, ready to take the bag of fruit, Kyson beat her to it, picking it up effortlessly. "You were faster at paying, but you won't beatat carrying things," he said casually.
Carrie looked up at him and laughed heartily.
With that, they bid farewell to the shopkeeper and the little boy, walking slowly toward the entrance of the alley. The setting sun stretched their shadows long across the ground, merging them into one.

Before, you had to be alone, and you needed absolute independence. But now it's different. You have your cousins... and m-friends." He had wanted to say "me" but caught himself at the last moment. Carrie simply smiled and responded with a soft, "Okay." But Kyson could hear the detachment in her voice-the way she accepted his words, but not fully.
