Chapter 41: Scoundrels
Li Xiaoxue didn't expect Li's mother to force her to marry like this, and she didn't expect that after she rejected Han Haitao's marriage proposal again and again, she would make the final choice in such a situation.
Tang Aijia on the side seemed to be more anxious than Li Mu to ask for Li Xiaoxue's answer, and seeing that Li Xiaoxue didn't speak for a long time, she grabbed Li Xiaoxue's arm and urged: "Xiaoxue, speak!" Do you say yes or no? Say, don't let your aunt worry! ”
Li Muai's eyes were still tearful, always staring at Li Xiaoxue's face, with a posture of forcing death.
"Okay." is simple, but the two words that determine Li Xiaoxue's life are finally said in Li Xiaoxue's mouth.
After the tense atmosphere finally eased, Li Mu's tears also fell down the corners of her eyes.
Tang Aijia was even more overjoyed, hugged Li Xiaoxue's body, and almost jumped up.
Li Xiaoxue sneered in her heart that when she made such a decision, more importantly, the other person in the marriage was not present.
"Xiaoxue, why are you upset?" Tang Aijia, who didn't jump up in the end, shook Li Xiaoxue's body, and asked again without interest.
Li Xiaoxue didn't look at Tang Aijia, but slowly pushed away Tang Aijia's arm around her, and said to Li's mother expressionlessly, "Mom, can I go out?" ”
Li Mu's side hadn't answered yet, Tang Aijia was anxious again, and shouted at Li Xiaoxue: "Li Xiaoxue, what do you mean?" ”
Li Xiaoxue still didn't answer Tang Aijia, and only looked at Li Mu with a pair of eyes.
Li Mu also looked at Li Xiaoxue, and the tears in her eyes continued to flow.
Tang Aijia suddenly became the air here, looked at Li Xiaoxue, and then looked at Li Mu, I don't know why.
Just when Tang Aijia was full of embarrassment and didn't know whether to go or stay, Li Xiaoxue seemed to have the tacit approval of Li's mother, nodded at Li's mother, and was about to go out.
Tang Aijia hurriedly stopped Li Xiaoxue, looked at Li's mother, and said with a confused expression: "Auntie, this ......"
Li Mu only nodded, and then turned her face away.
Tang Aijia was so stimulated by something, she smiled inexplicably, and only shook her head.
……
Li Xiaoxue took a taxi, and at a distance of about 100 meters from the Hexin community, she had already found that Zhong Youcheng was already standing at the gate of the community, looking eagerly in the direction she came from.
Li Xiaoxue did not let the taxi stop directly at the entrance of the community, but stopped ten meters away.
Zhong Youcheng obviously saw Li Xiaoxue sitting in the car, and when he saw the car stop, he strode up to meet him.
Li Xiaoxue got out of the car, looked straight behind a few more times, and didn't see any cars coming, so she walked up quickly.
Zhong Youcheng came to Li Xiaoxue's side, and was about to ask Li Xiaoxue why she was so late, Li Xiaoxue didn't seem to know Zhong Youcheng, turned sideways around Zhong Youcheng, lowered her head, and walked straight to the community.
Zhong Youcheng turned around, followed Li Xiaoxue closely, and asked, "Li Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Xiaoxue still walked with her head down, as if she didn't hear Zhong Youcheng's words.
"How did you come? What's the matter? I called you, but I didn't call, and if you don't come again, I'm going to look for you. Zhong Youcheng said again.
Li Xiaoxue was glad that she still came, otherwise, when such a Zhong Youcheng really came to her door, he would definitely scare Li's mother.
"Why don't you speak? What's going on? Zhong Youcheng asked after him.
"Nothing." Li Xiaoxue only said this, and her steps were much faster.
"It's past nine o'clock now. Li Xiaoxue, you have to make up for the delay. Zhong Youcheng said not at all as if he was joking.
Li Xiaoxue didn't pay much attention to it, and only said "um".
In this way, the two of them walked like a race, and in a blink of an eye, they came to Zhong Youcheng's rental house.
After entering the house, Li Xiaoxue was about to sit back in her original position, but at a glance, she found that Zhong Youcheng's painting board was already a brand new canvas.
Li Xiaoxue couldn't help but look at Zhong Youcheng with some puzzlement: "What about that one?" ”
Zhong Youcheng hadn't even his breath yet, and while stroking his heart, he said: "I'm not satisfied with that one, I want to paint it again." ”
"Paint again?" Li Xiaoxue thought she had misheard, "It's the last day!" ”
"But," Zhong Youcheng said, "I can't take a work that I'm not satisfied with to the exhibition, right?" ”
Li Xiaoxue shook her head and repeated, "It's the last day." ”
Zhong Youcheng looked disappreciative again, and said, "What's the last day?" Li Xiaoxue, give me two more days, can't you? ”
Li Xiaoxue didn't think about it, she raised her voice and said resolutely: "No!" ”
"Why?" Zhong Youcheng also asked loudly.
Li Xiaoxue couldn't bear it: "Why? We said yes! ”
"What do you say?" Zhong Youcheng glared at Li Xiaoxue and said, "For the sake of art, can't you do it for two more days?" ”
"No negotiation!" Li Xiaoxue shouted.
Zhong Youcheng's throat almost screamed: "Why didn't you negotiate?" Two more days, two more days and a great work will come out! ”
"Don't say two days, two hours, not two minutes! I really didn't expect you to be a scoundrel! In that case, I'm sorry, I can't give you this day's time! Li Xiaoxue said angrily and walked out.
Zhong Youcheng grabbed Li Xiaoxue's arm: "No!" You are not allowed to go! We still have a day to go! You promised me! ”
Li Xiaoxue shook off Zhong Youcheng's hand vigorously: "For people like you, you can't be trusted at all!" ”
"Li Xiaoxue!" Zhong Youcheng shouted again, pounced, and knelt on the ground.
Li Xiaoxue had already taken one foot out of the door, and when she heard the sound of Zhong Youcheng kneeling on the ground, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Li Xiaoxue." Seeing Li Xiaoxue stop, Zhong Youcheng rubbed his knees on the ground, and came to Li Xiaoxue's side in a few clicks, crying and saying, "I'm sorry, Li Xiaoxue." I, I'm not human. I really, really want to leave good memories in each other's hearts, but I, but I can't ...... anything."
Li Xiaoxue didn't look at Zhong Youcheng, she rushed out of the door, let out a long breath, softened her voice, and said, "I really, I can only give you another day." ”
"One day is good! One day is good! Zhong Youcheng said with some excitement, and stood up at the same time, "I only need one day, only one day!" As long as you give me a day, I'll draw your outline, and then from memory, yes, that's fine! ”
Li Xiaoxue didn't know why, so she shed two tears, still nodding her head at the door.
After sitting down on Zhong Youcheng's "bed" again, Li Xiaoxue lowered her voice and asked, "Is this still the case?" ”
"Actually, it's this hairpin, it's not quite suitable." Zhong Youcheng said, and he was about to reach out and take off the butterfly hairpin on Li Xiaoxue's head.
Li Xiaoxue hurriedly dodged to the side, and after raising her hand to protect her hairpin, she already had some indescribable strange feelings in her heart.
This butterfly hairpin, after Han Haitao gave it to her, she has been wearing it. Today, can you take it off because of Zhong Youcheng?
Zhong Youcheng said again: "This hairpin is really not suitable for you." You are like ......, oh, like a hibiscus out of the water, elegant but noble. This hairpin, it's too glamorous, it's not good, it's not good. ”
Although Li Xiaoxue didn't take Zhong Youcheng's words seriously, she thought in her heart that she was just picking it off temporarily and letting Zhong Youcheng paint, so she tilted her head, gently took off the butterfly hairpin, and put it beside her.
Zhong Youcheng smiled and nodded, and then told Li Xiaoxue what kind of pose she posed, and then turned around and returned to the drawing board.
After a few gentle strokes, Zhong Youcheng found the remaining tears on Li Xiaoxue's face, and the paintbrush in his hand couldn't help but pause.
Li Xiaoxue saw that Zhong Youcheng was just looking at herself intently, and when she didn't satisfy Zhong Youcheng, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhong Youcheng listened, put down the paintbrush and walked in front of Li Xiaoxue.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoxue raised her face and asked Zhong Youcheng again.
"Crying?" Zhong Youcheng looked at Li Xiaoxue's face and asked.
Li Xiaoxue let out an "oh" and raised her hand to wipe it.
"Don't!" Zhong Youcheng screamed, and in a hurry, he grabbed Li Xiaoxue's hand, "This is your other moving place again." ”
Li Xiaoxue didn't care about Zhong Youcheng's "praise", so she quickly struggled back, three or four times in a row, but she couldn't break free.
"Xiaoxue!" Zhong Youcheng shouted again, holding Li Xiaoxue's hand, harder.
Li Xiaoxue felt that a few steel bars were clamping into her flesh, and she was even more unaccustomed to Zhong Youcheng calling herself like this, and her body was cold for a while, and hot for a while.
"Xiaoxue!" Zhong Youcheng shouted like this again, excited, "Be my woman, Xiaoxue!" ”
Li Xiaoxue never expected Zhong Youcheng to say such a thing, and her head "buzzed" and panicked.
"I can't leave you, I can't! Not for a moment, not for a minute! Zhong Youcheng said again, trembling all over.
Li Xiaoxue didn't know what to say, so she could only shake her head vigorously.
Zhong Youcheng became more and more excited, and both eyes turned red: "I know, I know that you already have me in your heart." On that night, the night we hugged and kissed, I knew it! Xiaoxue, don't shake your head, don't deny it! At first, I wasn't sure about all this, but now, I understand it all. You have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart. You love me, I love you even more! Two people who love each other should be together! Should, should! You don't want to leave me, you don't want to. I won't let you leave me, no, never! We are together all our lives, we are a pair made in heaven, a pair set by the earth, we ......"
"Nope! No! Li Xiaoxue finally spoke and intercepted Zhong Youcheng, "You misunderstood, we, we don't have anything!" ”
"Nope! I'm not mistaken! That night, when we kissed each other, it was like, like that statue of Romain Rolland, oh no, not like, just, just! That's love, true love! A kiss of love, the earth is barren! Zhong Youcheng said, hugged Li Xiaoxue again, and kissed Li Xiaoxue on the lips.
