Chapter 128: If There Is an Afterlife
When Li Mengmeng heard Liu Xiaoguang's tone was very resolute, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Why not?" β
Liu Xiaoguang thought for a moment, and then explained: "Our canteen has a lot of food, and there are even Muslim dishes, so there is no need to send food in from outside. Besides, it's very hard for you to do this, and I'm afraid it will affect your career. β
Li Mengmeng's expression relaxed, and she asked with a smile: "Do you know what my career is?" β
"You studied Chinese medicine, of course you are Chinese medicine."
"But I'm not the only one. Do you know what my other, more important cause is? β
"Do you have another career?"
"Yes."
Liu Xiaoguang shook his head blankly: "I don't know." β
Li Mengmeng restrained her smile and showed a solemn expression: "My most important career is to reward a hero who has taken off for the national astronomical cause and give him a lifetime of happiness." β
Liu Xiaoguang looked at her expression in amazement, and soon looked excited again.
Li Mengmeng looked at him affectionately, as if she was attracting the other party to embrace her emotionally.
After some restlessness, Liu Xiaoguang's body finally regained his calm, and he had to shift his gaze: "Mengmeng, don't expect too much from me." As I said, I'm just a small supporting actor in this project, an insignificant little grass. β
Li Mengmeng smiled: "It's not bad to be a little grass, and it can also decorate a colorful world." β
Liu Xiaoguang reluctantly suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Mengmeng, I really don't deserve you to be so good to me." I'm twenty years older than you, and I can't ignore the age gap. Please be careful. β
Li Mengmeng hesitated: "Brother Liu, do you think that my love for you is a whim?" β
Liu Xiaoguang asked rhetorically: "Isn't it?" β
Li Mengmeng was immediately indignant: "Brother Liu, do you think I am the second Xiao Shuyun?" β
Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly shook his head: "No, you are different from Shuyun." However, everyone has a whim. I had that when I was younger, too. β
Li Mengmeng also asked rhetorically: "Could it be that you engaged in astronomy because of a whim?" β
Liu Xiaoguang shook his head again and again: "Of course not, because I have never regretted my choice." β
Li Mengmeng pondered for a moment before speaking slowly: "When I met for the first time, I found that you were very affectionate to your ex-wife, and you were a scientist who was engaged in high-end engineering. But with my knowledge of the field of astronomy, my admiration for you in this noble cause deepened, and even the analysis of each other's obstacles could not stop my longing for you. Therefore, the whim at the beginning has long become the current inseparable. Brother Liu, when I am proud of you and feel that I have contributed to this great project of the country, that sense of pride will be the longing of my life. β
Liu Xiaoguang listened to her heartfelt words, and was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and hugged her delicate body in his arms.
Since the two of them sat side by side before, Li Mengmeng was just attached to his arms with her upper body, and her butt was still sitting on the original chair. She really wanted to devote all her body to the other party's body, but after all, the scene environment was limited, and she couldn't do it.
In fact, Liu Xiaoguang did not act excessively. In his opinion, the girl in his arms is a newly bloomed hibiscus, which needs to be cared for, not ravaged. So, when he symbolically possessed her, he quickly let her out.
"Mengmeng, hurry up and eat dumplings, delay for a while, the dumplings will be cold."
As soon as Li Mengmeng was reminded by him, she realized that the two of them were eating together, and they were a little carried away just now.
Nan Binghuai originally came over to take a look at Li Mengmeng, but as soon as he walked to the door of the studio, he happened to see that scene, and hurriedly retreated, his complicated eyes were a little relieved, and he left quietly.
Li Mengmeng may think that the dumplings are too delicious, and he can't help but think of his hospitalized father, his appetite is getting worse and worse, and the whole person is rapidly losing weight. So, she really wanted to share the delicious food in front of her to her father, so she suddenly stopped chopsticks.
Liu Xiaoguang saw that she was abruptly stopped from relish, and couldn't help but be curious: "Why don't you eat it?" β
"I can't bear to eat it."
Liu Xiaoguang, who had just picked up another dumpling, couldn't help but let go of his chopsticks: "Do you want to keep it for the next meal?" β
"No, I want to give my dad a taste."
Liu Xiaoguang was a little disapproving: "He is so rich, what kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas can't be eaten, will this sauerkraut stuffed dumplings be rare?" β
Li Mengmeng listened unpleasantly, and couldn't help but refute: "How do you speak? Can money buy everything? β
Liu Xiaoguang was stunned: "Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?" β
Li Mengmeng's eyes suddenly moistened, and she cried: "He... I haven't been able to eat for days..."
Liu Xiaoguang was taken aback: "What's wrong with him?" β
Li Mengmeng suddenly felt out of shape, and hurriedly covered up: "He... I'm getting anorexia... I don't like to eat anymore. β
"He's not a child, how can he get anorexia?"
Li Mengmeng glanced at him: "What do you know?" Who says adults can't be anorexic? I'm a doctor, so I know what's going on. β
Liu Xiaoguang didn't want to dwell on medical matters with her, but frowned: "Could this dumpling be able to correct his anorexia?" β
"At least fresh food whets his appetite."
Liu Xiaoguang thought for a moment: "Your father may be tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he suffers from anorexia." Perhaps this kind of dumpling will give him a sense of freshness and can stimulate his appetite. Since you want to give it a try, bring it all to him. β
Li Mengmeng saw that he had completely put down his chopsticks, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Don't you eat it too?" β
Liu Xiaoguang smiled bitterly: "You are reluctant to eat, can I still be reluctant?" β
Li Mengmeng's heart moved: "Do you still hate my father?" β
Liu Xiaoguang shook his head: "Ever since I entrusted Shuyun to him, I have hoped that he will always be happy, healthy and live a long life. β
Li Mengmeng's nose was sour, and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by this?" β
Liu Xiaoguang thought that she felt that her words were mocking his father, so she quickly explained: "What I said is sincere, because only if he is good, Shuyun will be good." β
Unexpectedly, Li Mengmeng's heart sank: "You still can't let go of Shuyun." β
Liu Xiaoguang realized that she was jealous, and felt a little uneasy, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "Of course I can't let go of the woman who has been with me for more than ten years, only if she is better than before, I can let go in a down-to-earth manner." β
Li Mengmeng's expression changed sharply, and she suddenly realized that Xiao Shuyun was currently very bitter, facing a difficult situation in the company, and facing her terminally ill father at home, all the pressure was attached to her. If he knew this, how could he engage in scientific research and even fall in love with himself with peace of mind? She couldn't control her emotions anymore and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Xiaoguang saw it in his eyes and said with some trepidation: "Are you jealous?" β
Li Mengmeng did not answer, but buried her tearful face deeply.
Liu Xiaoguang reached out and stroked her hair: "Meng Meng, if you appreciate me, you should understand me." If I don't cherish the previous relationship, how can I cherish the relationship with you? β
Li Mengmeng suddenly raised her head: "Brother Liu, if you find out that Shuyun is suffering, will you accept her again?" β
Liu Xiaoguang was stunned and said: "She is about to marry into a wealthy family, how can she suffer?" β
"I... Just an analogy. Answer me truthfully! β
Liu Xiaoguang muttered: "Since I have divorced her, I will not accept her anymore, because she has no happiness in front of me." And, more importantly, I'm already in love with you! However, after all, she is Ning Ning's mother, and I will take care of her as if she were my own sister. β
When Li Mengmeng heard him admit that he was in love with him, her heart was a little hot, but she thought that her father was running out of time, and she was sad again, and even sobbed even more.
Liu Xiaoguang finally confessed his love for her, thinking that she was moved, so he stood up, held up her body, and then hugged her in his arms, letting her pretty face pierce her chest.
Li Mengmeng felt the man's embrace again, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings, so she simply vented all the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for many days.
Liu Xiaoguang was a little confused, and didn't understand why the girl in his arms was so emotional, so he could only hug her tightly, gently patting her back with one hand, and kept comforting.
In the evening, Li Mengmeng returned to the ward, at this moment her mood had returned to calm, and she was still carrying a plastic bag containing dumplings in her hand.
Yang Lanting was still waiting in front of Li Yunjian's hospital bed, and communicated cordially with her ex-husband.
Li Yunjian seemed to recall a lot of past events, so he talked about a lot of past events with his ex-wife...
Yang Lanting also talked eloquently at first, but then he had a hint of foreboding. Because when the ex-husband chatters about the past, maybe he has really come to the end of his life. But she had to socialize and couldn't interrupt the other party, and she shed sad tears.
Li Yunjian finally noticed that his ex-wife was in tears, and he was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on, and quickly said: "Lanting, I'm really sorry, I reminded you of something sad." β
Yang Lanting hurriedly wiped his eyes: "It's okay, what do you want to say in your heart, just say it." I love listening to you nag. β
Li Yunjian was silent for a moment, and suddenly changed the topic: "Lan Ting, you should find someone to rely on." β
Yang Lanting was stunned for a moment: "Yun Jian, what do you mean by this?" β
"Lan Ting, only if you transfer your feelings to other men, can you alleviate the pain in your heart. I know... I'm afraid that my departure will make you more painful than forcing you to divorce in the first place. β
"YunjianΒ·Β·Β· Please don't talk nonsense... You're going to get better! β
"Rantei... Thank you... But I know what I'm doing now... You can't make a fool of yourself... I'm sorry for you..."
Yang Lanting wiped her tears again: "Yun Jian, you don't have anything to be sorry for me." I've been with you for more than twenty years, and this life is worth it. β
Li Yunjian's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but blur his eyes: "Lanting... If there is an afterlife... I'll marry you... And to cherish you... Strive to grow old with you..."
"YunjianΒ·Β·Β· Say no more... I can be by your side now... I'm already satisfied..."
Li Mengmeng overheard these words from the two of them outside the ward, so she couldn't listen to them anymore, and immediately pushed the door in-
