Minnie was silent for a long time after saying such a long paragraph in one breath. Just when Li Mengnan thought she had finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and spoke again: "You know... I often hate myself for not being a boy. If
I am a boy. Even if I go to the construction site to move bricks, I can at least support a family in place of my father, so that my mother no longer has to work so hard to leave early and come home late, and bear the expenses of the entire family by herself.
But I'm just a girl, and I'm not smart either. The only thing I can rely on is this beautiful skin that God gave me.
Maybe you are a good person, but the word love is too luxurious for me, so... you should forget about that matter..."
After saying these words, Minnie fell completely silent. She turned around and opened the curtains and looked out the window blankly, leaving only Li Mengnan with an extremely lonely and sad figure.
Li Mengnan sighed, took off his coat and walked over to put it on Minnie.
"Don't stand in front of the window if you're wearing so little. You'll catch a cold easily." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Feeling the faint warmth on the coat, Minnie couldn't help but tremble slightly. Her body subconsciously wanted to turn around, but she still stopped.
In the past eighteen years, no boy has ever been so close to the softness in her heart. She is not a strong-willed person, and she is afraid that if she turns around, she will really sink in and never get out.
Although this Li Mengnan is neither tall nor handsome, and does not even seem to have money, and is far from the standard she has set for herself in finding a boyfriend, he is the first one to truly open up from the bottom of her heart.
A man whose arms she can rely on, not those swingers who talk sweetly just to get her body.
When she was crying in Li Mengnan's arms just now, it was the most peaceful time for her. In front of her was a solid chest, and behind her were strong arms, like a safe harbor, protecting her tightly in the center without thinking about anything.
There is no need to think about anything, it seems that all worries and anguish are blocked out.
It's just... this beauty is short-lived after all, reality is reality after all, and she still needs to face it after all.
"Well...go to a doctor to treat the wound...it will become infected."
Li Mengnan turned around, smiled bitterly and said: "I guess I may need another shot of tetanus and rabies vaccine..."
Minnie was still standing in front of the window with her back to Li Mengnan, as if she didn't hear his cold joke at all.
The door closed, and Li Mengnan's footsteps faded away, eventually disappearing out of the corridor. Minnie subconsciously crossed her arms, tightened her hands on the blood-stained coat, and couldn't stop tears from flowing down her cheeks.
The cool night breeze blows the pure white curtains, and a sad melody faintly comes from somewhere.
"You cried and told me that fairy tales are all lies. I can't be your prince. Maybe you don't understand. Ever since you said you loved me, the stars in my sky have all lit up..."
…
Li Mengnan had just returned to his dormitory with a large bag of anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by the doctor when he received a call from his boss Liang Sanbo.
"Wukong, what's going on? I've already dispersed, why haven't you come yet?"
Li Mengnan suddenly slapped his forehead. Only then did he remember that he had a date with Liang Sanbo that he had not attended. He quickly smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. Something messy happened just now. I forgot about it in this busy schedule."
"What a mess? The school is empty, so what kind of mess can there be?" Liang Sanbo's tone was suspicious.
"Stop asking, you won't believe me even if I tell you."
"How do you know that I don't believe it if you don't tell me? Even if you say that you were abducted by aliens, became Qin Shihuang in ancient times, led the five tiger generals to defeat Napoleon, and then traveled back in time, as long as you dare to say it, I will believe it .”
Liang Sanbo has always had the spirit to break the casserole and get to the bottom of things.
"Today I helped a pure lolita grow wildly on the bus to drive away a wretched trolley wolf, and then I made a trolleywolf myself and shot her in the butt, making her little lolita cry and chase her. In the KTV bathroom, a drunk beauty came in and raped me..."
"Uh... let's talk about the time travel period."
Li Mengnan shrugged indifferently. It's so hard to be a good person these days. No one even believes the truth.
"I'm really sorry for letting you go this time. How about I treat you to dinner next time?"
"Are you a brother talking about this? Besides, if you didn't come, I would have fewer competitors... You don't know, there are so many beauties today. I didn't even know that my classmate in high school was actually a A great beauty, she is also the department beauty of our school’s Foreign Languages School... Xikesiu! Why did I blind my titanium alloy dog eyes and didn’t see the potential of the girl with glasses next to me? And she also brought an international student from our school with her. The Bangzi girl is so pretty, with big breasts, thin legs, long butt, and I don’t know if she has ever been under the knife, but I heard that there is a genetic problem there, and she is born with a shoehorn face, and she is good-looking. The ones ordered are basically all cut into pieces..."
Li Mengnan can prove that Liang Sanbo is actually a very reserved person, but as long as he talks about beautiful women, the activity of the cerebral cortex will increase by dozens of percentage points, making him even more talkative than him.
Li Mengnan has always suspected that this guy's sperm can be used instead of brain cells. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why his accuracy rate increased linearly when he took multiple-choice questions while erect.
"By the way, Wukong, you have been in the dormitory these days? Didn't you say you wanted to visit your biological parents?"
In the sleep-talk meeting in the first few days of school, Li Mengnan did not hide his abduction experience, so the other three people in the dormitory knew that he was not an orphan but was not an orphan.
"Isn't this what I'm planning..." Of course, Li Mengnan couldn't say that he couldn't muster the courage.
"It's still brewing! Even if I haven't raised you for twenty years, they are your biological parents after all. They just meet and say hello. If we can be together, we can be together, which is considered as fulfilling our filial piety; if we can't be together, then When I come back, at least I know that there is such a person in the world. Even if it's in name only, I at least have a thought in my heart... It's like visiting relatives. If you don't go and visit, how can you possibly get married?" Liang Sanbo said in a serious and thoughtful way.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mengnan lay on the bed and thought carefully for a long time, and felt that what Liang Sanbo said was indeed reasonable.
After all, those two people are his biological parents. Although they have been unable to fulfill their parenting responsibilities over the years due to their respective difficulties in starting a family, they have not given up supporting him in life for decades.
What's more, although I didn't notify them about my admission to Donghai University, the admission notice was available at the village committee for checking. They would know about it sooner or later. Could I still hide from them for the rest of my life?
No matter how long it takes, what is supposed to come will always come. As Liang Sanbo said, it is not a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, it is just a meeting with your biological father and mother. Why be so nervous? Be natural and relax, maybe the result will be
Not as bad as imagined.
A night of silence.
The next day, Li Mengnan got up early, went into the bathroom of the dormitory and tidied himself up in front of the mirror from inside to outside. He also thanked Liang Sanbo for his appointment to sing at KTV yesterday. Everything about his look was ready-made.
There's no need for a temporary assault.
I just need to change my underwear.
Li Mengnan still felt uneasy, so he sprayed the cologne Liang Sanbo left in the bedroom a few times, making it seem like he was not going to meet his parents, but rather to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
After getting on the bus, Li Mengnan checked his address book and called his father Li Hongming's mobile phone, but there was no answer on the phone. Even after making several calls in a row, the situation remained the same.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Li Mengnan doesn't want to let out the energy he finally mustered up like this, otherwise he won't know that he will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse again if he makes up his mind again.
Fortunately, his father, Li Hongming, left his home address on the remittance form that year. Although the remittance was later changed from the post office to a bank transfer, Li Mengnan kept his address that year.
Li Mengnan was not familiar with Sanshan City. He was in a hurry and forgot to bring a map. Taking the bus was out of the question. He could only stop a taxi on the side of the road and gave the driver the piece of paper with the address.
look.
"No. 88 Hehuan Road?" The driver seemed a little surprised when he saw the address on the paper. He looked at Li Mengnan in the rearview mirror and asked while turning around: "Brother, the accent sounds like you are not from this city, right? Go to Hehuan Road.
Are you doing errands or something?"
"Is there anything wrong with Hehuan Road?"
The driver's meaningful eyes made Li Mengnan a little confused. Is this Hehuan Road a red light district or what? Although the name does have some connotation...
"Oh, no, little brother, don't get me wrong... You may not know that as a foreigner, as early as the Republic of China, Hehuan Road was a foreign concession, and it was inhabited by foreign devils, and the houses were all small villas with gardens.
Although it has undergone several urban reconstructions, it has not been affected much.
Even though this shabby house was not worth much back then, the rich people nowadays just like this one. Isn’t one of the houses in that area worth millions? There used to be some old families living there.
But when I saw that all the people going in and out were driving Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, I was embarrassed to say hello to people on a bicycle, right? So I simply sold the house and used the money to become a rich man..."
"Uh, sorry, interrupt me, driver, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Mengnan heard the driver getting more and more off-kilter, and had to stop him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to it. As you know, our driver usually drives alone. We are basically crazy and can't hold back when we open our mouths..." The chubby driver scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's me.
Out of curiosity, that area on Hehuan Road is the most famous wealthy area in our Sanshan City. People who live there have private cars and buses don’t pass there. I have been a driver for so many years and I have never seen someone like you.
