Chapter 692 It’s not about whether she is willing or not, but whether Lu Xixiao is willing or not
After returning to Mingcheng, Wen Li slept for four days without distinguishing between day and night. Except for taking a shower, he didn't even leave the living room during these days.
On the fifth day, as if she had finally slept enough, she went to the yard to help her grandmother pick vegetables, wearing pajamas that she was too lazy to change.
The old lady didn't ask anything these days. She just thought about making delicious food for Wen Li every day. She didn't show her worry on her face so as not to put pressure on Wen Li. Now she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady said: "Grandma will stew duck for you at noon."
Wen Li smiled calmly, "Yeah." After a moment, he added, "Let's have fish tonight. I'll go fishing this afternoon."
The old lady smiled and replied, "Okay, grandma just wants to eat fish."
Wen Li suddenly changed her mind after thinking of something: "Forget it, I won't go. Let's do it next time." Her expression became obviously gloomy.
The old lady said: "Then don't go. Grandma has left some food for dinner."
Originally, he didn't want to go, but in the afternoon, Wen Li changed his clothes and went out with his fishing rod. He couldn't just not go anymore.
Besides, grandma wants to eat.
The temperature in early May was very comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold during the day. Wen Li sat by the river with a fishing rod, and the breeze stirred up ripples on the river surface.
Wen Li emptied his mind and forced himself to think of nothing.
The fish ate the bait and slipped away. Wen Li on the shore didn't notice it at all. In the evening, Wen Li from the Air Force went home carrying an empty bucket.
The old lady smiled and said, "It's okay. We have plenty of food for dinner. Lili wants to eat fish. Grandma will go to town to buy some tomorrow."
Wen Li: "I'll go see if I can catch any tomorrow."
The old lady said: "Okay, let's go tomorrow."
The next day, Wen Li got up early and went to town with her grandmother.
The old lady didn't go to the vegetable market as usual, but took Wen Li to the supermarket to buy some. Everyone in the surrounding villages knew that she had a particularly beautiful granddaughter, and there were always people who wanted to introduce her to a grandson-in-law.
After she took Lu Xixiao to the vegetable market during the Chinese New Year, she became a celebrity in the market. Before, those people only cared about Wen Li, but now with Lu Xixiao caring about them, people always asked her about things.
So she didn't take Wen Li to the vegetable market.
Finally, I ran into an acquaintance on the road.
Inevitably, Lu Xixiao was mentioned again.
"Your granddaughter hasn't graduated from college yet, right? That handsome guy last time was her boyfriend, right? They really are a perfect match."
Several people gathered around the two and gossiped.
"Her granddaughter is so young, the age doesn't seem right."
"If he's not your boyfriend, introduce him to my family. Whether it works out or not, I'll give you a commission and a big red envelope."
These people spoke without restraint. Even though the old lady had a gentle personality, she felt unhappy after hearing what they said. However, she did not show it on her face, so as to prevent these people from making random guesses and spreading rumors. She did not mention Lu Xixiao at all, and just casually said a few words to get rid of them before quickly pulling Wen Li away.
After walking away, she found a topic to ask Wen Li how he wanted to eat the fish.
Seeing that Wen Li was fine, the old lady felt relieved.
At night, Wen Li, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up, got out of bed, rummaged through the drawers, and found a lucky bag in the desk drawer.
It was during the Chinese New Year when they went to the town to play. The old gentleman who wrote marriage bands saw that Lu Xixiao's calligraphy was good, so he gave them to them for free.
She opened the lucky bag, poured out the red beans inside, held it in her hand to look at it, then put it back in her hand, then took the lucky bag back to bed.
The next day, Wen Li strolled into the town.
The marriage tree, carrying countless beautiful wishes, is hung with marriage ribbons. It is eye-catching, festive and bright red in the sunlight.
Wen Li accurately found the two tied by Lu Xixiao. They were tied tightly together, moving with the wind and entangled with each other. Wen Li looked up at them under the tree. The words on them were written by Lu Xixiao himself, stroke by stroke. The handwriting and content were different from the others.
"Little girl? It really is you."
The old man who wrote the marriage belt was deeply impressed by Wen Li.
After all, he had only seen one who looked like this.
Wen Li came back to her senses and looked at the old man who came over to greet her. She nodded politely in response and then prepared to leave.
"Your boyfriend isn't with you?"
Wen Li: “…No.”
The old man said bluntly, "I was thinking that next time I see him, I'll ask him to write a couplet for me. I carry paper with me every day and even bought a good pen. I'm just waiting for him. Will he be back for the New Year?"
Wen Li opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
The old man said: "When he comes back for the New Year, if you are free, you can bring him here. I am here every day. I don't want his calligraphy for nothing."
Wen Li still didn't know what to say and could only nod.
At night, the old lady lying in bed couldn't sleep because she was thinking about Wen Li. Wen Li pushed open her door and came in holding a pillow.
The old lady sat up and turned on the light.
"grandmother……"
Wen Li thought her grandmother was asleep, but she wasn't. She felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was still clinging to her grandmother to sleep at such a age.
The old lady made room for her and looked at her lovingly.
Wen Li went to bed silently and turned off the light.
The room fell into darkness. After a moment of silence, the old lady cautiously asked, "Did you have a conflict with Xiao Lu?"
After waiting for half a minute, I heard Wen Li respond: "Yeah."
"Can you tell Grandma what happened?"
Wen Li said nothing.
The old lady said gently: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
After a moment of silence, Wen Li said, "It's my problem."
The old lady knew that something else must have happened.
But she couldn't figure out why Lu Xixiao, who had such a good temper and cared so much about Wen Li, was willing to fall out with Wen Li.
Everything was fine after the Chinese New Year, and it’s only been a short time.
She couldn't figure it out, but she understood Wen Li's character.
The old lady said: "Xiao Lu seems very talkative, but grandma can see that Xiao Lu is actually very similar to you and is not good at expressing his feelings. But he is willing to change for you. He likes you very much and will show it all. He is willing to be outgoing for you because he understands you and loves you, and he is afraid that you don't know. But you like him very much, but are only willing to show one point. He will feel very insecure. If you care about someone, you can't let him feel it alone. It will be very tiring over time. Don't be too strong in relationships. No one is born to love, and Xiao Lu has learned it too. It's normal to make mistakes, and he will allow for it. Grandma believes that Xiao Lu is definitely waiting for you to find him."
Wen Li, who was sleeping with her back to her grandmother, looked at the darkness ahead. Her grandmother reached out and touched the back of her head as she spoke, then continued, "Grandma can't always be with you, but I believe you can live well on your own, Lili. But Xiao Lu is a very good person. If you want, I hope you can find someone to accompany you and take care of you. You must like Xiao Lu too, right? There are so many people in this world. It's not easy to find someone you like who also happens to like you. Don't give up easily. Of course, no matter who the other person is, never let yourself down. But now that you and he still care about each other, don't make yourself feel bad or regretful."
Wen Li didn't know how to respond to her grandmother, because now it was not a question of whether she was willing to go find Lu Xixiao, but whether Lu Xixiao was still willing to see her, so she didn't know what she should do.
Wen Li left home the next day because he didn't want his grandmother to worry.
