Liu Xiaoguang was infected, and also said emotionally: "Mengmeng, please rest assured, as long as you don't hate me, my love for you will be unswerving." ”

Li Mengmeng temporarily let go of the gloom in her heart and smiled: "Could it be that if I hate you, I won't get your love?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm just showing that love for you is not a shackle, I will let you fly high, and when one day you think I'm old and want to find a new home for love, I'll give you freedom and let you continue to enjoy the passion of youth. ”

Li Mengmeng cried again, but this time it was tears of excitement, and she said with a crying voice: "What are you talking about... No matter how high I fly... You should be holding me by the long thread... If you let go... I'm going to fall... Do you want to see me crushed? ”

Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly waved his hand: "I just want to see you happy forever, where do I want you to be hurt in any way?" ”

Li Mengmeng took a deep breath and reached out to comb the messy hair on her forehead: "Brother Xiaoguang, please listen - no matter at any time, only you give up on me, and there is no reason for me to leave you." ”

Liu Xiaoguang was shocked: "Silly girl, why are you not confident in yourself?" Am I going to give up your pearl? ”

Li Mengmeng's eyes instantly moistened again: "If you can cherish your pearl, will she leave you?" Please remember that your pearl will not dislike you old, no matter at any time, even if the sea is dry and rotten, it will always belong to you! ”

"Moe Moe!"

Liu Xiaoguang called out with mixed feelings, if it weren't for the two-foot square dinner table, he would have held her in his arms mercilessly. At this time, he could only stare at each other affectionately across the dinner table.

In fact, Li Mengmeng's heart was already exhausted, and she couldn't wait to lie in the arms of the other party. However, her extravagant hopes could not be satisfied, and she just wanted to end the meal quickly and strive for a space for them to stir up.

So, she urged him, who was staring at her: "Brother Xiaoguang, hurry up and eat." ”

Liu Xiaoguang picked up the chopsticks and threw a curious look at the other party: "Mengmeng, why don't you move the chopsticks?" “

"I... Not hungry yet. ”

"What did you eat for lunch?"

Li Mengmeng subconsciously shook her head: "I didn't eat anything." ”

Liu Xiaoguang looked at her in astonishment, only to realize that she hadn't seen her for a few days, and her whole person was about to lose weight.

"Mengmeng, have you been on a hunger strike in the past few days since your mother left?"

Li Mengmeng was shocked, and quickly covered it up: "Of course not." I just have a poor appetite. ”

"Then why didn't you eat it today?"

"I... I think I've eaten it in the morning..."

"Even if you eat a lot in the morning, you can't go without lunch and night, right?"

Li Mengmeng's expression couldn't hide a trace of sadness, although she really wanted to accompany Liu Xiaoguang to take a bite, but how could she swallow it when she had just suffered the pain of losing her father?

She could hide her expression, but she couldn't calm the great grief in her heart, so she could only shake her head helplessly: "I... I really don't want to eat it! ”

Liu Xiaoguang was puzzled: "Isn't your mother missing?" Why are you still in a hurry? ”

Li Mengmeng secretly laughed in her heart, where was she in a hurry? It is clearly in the saddest moment. Especially when I have to handle my father's funeral, I have to fight hard and bear the pain of inner tearing. At that time, how I wished I had a helper, a strong arm and a warm heart. However, there is such a best candidate in front of him, but he has to give up. Her desolate and pathetic mood instantly froze to the extreme.

Although Liu Xiaoguang is a man, he is not the kind of careless, but meticulous, and he has already seen that Li Mengmeng's situation is wrong, far from the reason she said.

"Mengmeng, you must have something to hide from me."

Li Mengmeng's heart was empty: "You... How do you know? ”

Liu Xiaoguang's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "What happened?" ”

Li Mengmeng quickly figured it out: "Since I didn't get the opportunity to intern during this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my graduation certificate smoothly." ”

This is Li Mengmeng had to find a new excuse in desperation, and in fact she had already used it before, which could not be equated with her current sad mood. But what she didn't expect was that the other party was convinced, because Liu Xiaoguang thought that she was a professional girl, especially so fond of traditional Chinese medicine, and the dilemma she was facing now was enough to make her sad.

He simply reassured her with the subject.

However, Li Mengmeng was still tasteless about the dinner in front of her.

Liu Xiaoguang finally had to ask for her opinion: "Mengmeng, if you are tired of eating things here, I will simply take you to another place to eat, right?" ”

His words hit Li Mengmeng's heart, making his sad eyes brighten: "Okay, take me away quickly." ”

Because Li Mengmeng didn't move his chopsticks, he didn't even eat well with Liu Xiaoguang, but in order to help his beloved girl get out of the haze in his heart as soon as possible, he had to call the restaurant owner to settle the bill.

The female boss already regarded the two of them as acquaintances, and when she found out that they had not eaten and had checked out, she was a little uneasy and said, "Are these dishes not ready?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's not like this, because this beauty is in a bad mood, so I want to take her to a different environment." ”

The landlady glanced at the young girl whose eyes were still red and swollen, and suddenly enthusiastically suggested: "This gentleman should take this girl to the Jiahua Night Market." I'm sure the environment will make her feel refreshed. ”

When Li Mengmeng heard that she recommended that place, her heart couldn't help but move.

Liu Xiaoguang's eyes were blank: "What is Jiahua Night Market?" ”

The female boss smiled and said, "Don't you know? There is an open-air snack plaza with not only a variety of snacks, but also cultural performances. ”

"Oh, and this kind of place?"

"Yes, are you out-of-towners?"

Li Mengmeng took over the conversation: "We are all natives of Northern Qi, and it is very common for my boyfriend not to know this place, because he is a scientist and will not go to that kind of smoky place at all." ”

Only then did the female boss know that the middle-aged man in front of her was a scientific and technological worker from the adjacent observatory, and explained with a smile while being in awe: "For the two of you, one has been engaged in mental work for a long time, and the other is in a bad mood, so you can go to that noisy environment to vent." ”

Liu Xiaoguang heard that his little girlfriend knew that place, and in combination with the words of the female boss, he immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your suggestion, since my girlfriend knows that place, I won't ask more." ”

"You're welcome. Since you two don't have the appetite for this meal, let's give you a discount. ”

When Liu Xiaoguang heard her propose to charge less money, he was grateful again.

The female boss finally sent them out in person, and said to herself at their backs: "A man with ability is happy, no matter how old he is, he is favored by a girl."

Li Mengmeng followed Liu Xiaoguang out of the lamplight, and asked him excitedly: "Brother Xiaoguang, hug me!" “

Liu Xiaoguang was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at the surrounding environment, although there were a lot of people coming and going, the place where they were standing happened to be the blind spot of the light, and they could secretly sensationalize. He knew that the girl around him needed him the most, so he emotionally held her delicate body in his arms.

Li Mengmeng has not eaten well for several days, has been malnourished, and has no strength at all, once he hugged his delicate body, he suddenly collapsed softly in his arms.

Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart when he saw her hand over her body completely relaxed. However, he knew her emotions at this time, so he didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

Li Mengmeng was intoxicated in his arms for a while before injecting a little strength into his body, and slowly pulled it out of his arms: "Brother Xiaoguang, it's not early, you should go back and rest." ”

Liu Xiaoguang frowned: "But you haven't eaten yet?" ”

"I don't have an appetite."

Liu Xiaoguang hesitated, and his attitude became very resolute: "No! You are very weak now, and if you don't eat well, you will break your body. So, I have to take you to eat. ”

"Brother Xiaoguang... I really can't eat it..."

"Alas, what a sensible girl you are, you should be relaxed. There is no mountain of flame that cannot be passed. Since we can't eat in the kind of environment just now, let's listen to the eldest sister and go to the Jiahua Night Market to taste snacks. ”

"But it's far away."

"Don't you have a car? It doesn't matter if it's farther away. ”

"I'm afraid it will affect your work."

"Our work for today has been completed, even if I go back now, I can't rest as soon as possible, so let's accompany you well."

Li Mengmeng couldn't shirk it anymore, in fact, she needed Liu Xiaoguang now, so she acquiesced.

Liu Xiaoguang hugged her and came to the luxury car. This time, Liu Xiaoguang occupied the cab because he was worried that she was in a bad mood and drove distractedly.

As soon as Liu Xiaoguang started the car, he asked her beside him: "Mengmeng, please tell me which direction to go?" ”

Li Mengmeng was indeed weak, lying softly on the co-pilot's seat, and raised the index finger of her right hand weakly: "Turn left at the intersection in front..."

Under her guidance, Liu Xiaoguang finally arrived at the designated place after twenty minutes of unfast and slow driving.

It turns out that this is a secluded place away from the downtown area, some barbecues that cannot be accommodated in the downtown area gather here, of course, including all kinds of snacks from all over the world, attracting those who are good at this meal, and because the square here has various entertainment and fitness activities including square dance, which makes people have a feeling of elegance and vulgar appreciation.

This is really refreshing for Liu Xiaoguang, who visited here for the first time: "Mengmeng, this place is really good." ”

"Oh? Do you like it here? ”

"Of course I did. Not only are there a full range of snacks here, but you can also listen to chorus and open-air storytelling, and the square dancing of those grandparents and uncles is also very attractive. ”

Li Mengmeng's pretty face finally showed a rare smile: "You can see clearly, there are many people younger than you among them." ”

Liu Xiaoguang's expression was embarrassed, and then he laughed at himself: "I'm also old." ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Mengmeng stretched out her little fist and slapped him softly.

Liu Xiaoguang realized that she was really too weak, and immediately pointed to a barbecue stall to ask her opinion: "Do you like to eat grilled chicken wings?" ”

When Li Mengmeng saw the familiar barbecue stall, she couldn't help but feel moved, it turned out that her father usually likes to eat spicy grilled chicken wings, and often brings her over to taste them. Even though she had been here with her father since she was very young. At that time, she was partial to eating and didn't like to eat, so her father patiently fed her little by little...

Seeing things and thinking about people, her father's voice and smile once again floated in her mind...
