184. Chapter 184 In what capacity are you asking me
Her body no longer rejects this level of intimate contact.
Of course, the only people she came into contact with were Li Mengnan. If it were other boys, she would still not be able to adapt.
…
The bright red-painted nails scratched the surface of the pomegranate, and the smooth outer skin made a crisp cracking sound. With a little force, you can see the plump pomegranate seeds inside like pink crystal.
"Well?"
As soon as she picked one out and put it into her mouth, Minnie couldn't help but open her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Li Mengnan asked strangely. It seems that he didn't fill it with anything?
"It's nothing, I just feel that this smell... makes me miss it very much."
Minnie didn't know why she suddenly became so sentimental, but after eating a pomegranate, her tears started to overflow again, and she quickly wiped them with the back of her hand.
"Nostalgic? The pomegranate tree grows here. You should be able to eat it every year. What is there to miss?" Li Mengnan felt a little baffled.
Minnie glared at Li Mengnan fiercely. She finally found some feeling, but it was all ruined by this guy's embarrassing words.
"I don't know why, but this pomegranate is different from what I have eaten before. It tastes very strong and strong, more like the kind I had when I was a child." Minnie explained.
Li Mengnan was stunned for a moment, and he probably understood what was going on. He smiled and said: "It's not surprising. In almost any fruit tree, the top ones grow best. This is called apical dominance in botany... In the past, you
What I ate may have been pomegranates picked from high places.”
"is that so?"
Minnie was doubtful, but no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember where the pomegranates she ate had been picked from. Even the back that once felt majestic only had a conceptual symbol left.
Maybe that's it, since that bastard man abandoned his wife and children and left this home, no one can reach the pomegranates at the top anymore.
Looking down at the attractive red fruit in her hand, Minnie suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. It seemed that Li Mengnan's arrival happened to fill in the most lacking part of the family and make the family complete again.
Minnie only ate one pomegranate seed and put away the rest silently. Seeing this, Li Mengnan asked: "Don't you like it? Why don't you eat it?"
"I want to take it back and give it to Bao'er to try."
Xiao Baoer likes to eat pomegranates from her own tree more than she does.
"Bao'er should have fallen asleep, right?" Li Mengnan glanced at the window not far away that showed no light.
"Save it for her to eat tomorrow."
"Fruits are no longer fresh if they are peeled." Li Mengnan handed the unopened pomegranate in front of Minnie and said with a smile: "Take this back to Bao'er."
Minnie subconsciously took it in her hand, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Then she realized that the pomegranate Li Mengnan handed over was obviously much smaller and greener than the one in her hand.
It turned out that this was not handed to her casually. Li Mengnan gave the best to her, but kept the worse for himself.
You bastard, don’t earn people’s tears like this...
Minnie suddenly felt a warm feeling in her chest, and her nose was slightly sore. She suddenly took a step forward and gently hugged Li Mengnan's body.
This was the first time she took the initiative to be so close to Li Mengnan.
Li Mengnan's body looks thin, but when you actually hold him up, you will find that he is actually very burly. You can faintly touch the outline of the muscles under the skin. Moreover, he is not as flabby and weak as a otaku who lacks exercise, nor is he as hard as those who have been exercising for a long time.
It is not like a rock, but has a very elastic touch. It is as comfortable to lean on it as a sofa cushion.
"Are you a little surprised?"
In fact, it was Minnie who was more surprised. She thought that her initiative would elicit a response from Li Mengnan, a hug in return, or even a passionate kiss like that in the kitchen at noon. But what she didn't expect was that for her hug, Li Mengnan
There was no reaction at all, he just raised his face and stared blankly at the pure night sky in trance.
"No...I was just wondering whether to shout indecent assault."
"When will you be serious?" Minnie rolled her eyes at Li Mengnan angrily, but still did not let go.
She was afraid that once she let go, she would not have the courage to hug him again.
"Your words sound a bit familiar... It seems that someone else has asked me this too." Li Mengnan suddenly remembered that Wu Ansu had also said this, but their tone was completely different.
"Is she a woman?" Even Minnie felt that her words were a bit sour.
"In what capacity are you asking me this question now?" Li Mengnan looked down at Minnie with a half-smile.
"Is...is this important?"
Minnie felt panicked when she was stared at by Li Mengnan's aggressive eyes, and subconsciously turned her face to the side.
"Of course, I have different answers for different identities... Just like to mom and Bao'er, would you say the same thing?" Li Mengnan said with a smile.
"I...I don't know, don't force me."
Minnie admitted that she was really moved at that moment and wanted to just lie quietly on Li Mengnan's chest and never let go. But just when she was about to say those few words, she suddenly backed down.
Because she really couldn't be sure whether she liked Li Mengnan, the impulse at this moment came more from her physical attachment to Li Mengnan.
That's right, although she still couldn't accept Li Mengnan into her heart, her body had already accepted Li Mengnan's closeness, and sometimes it even turned into a desire.
This contradiction between her heart and body made her extremely entangled, and she didn't even know which one could represent her true self.
Li Mengnan didn't necessarily want Minnie to confirm the relationship between the two. In fact, he never cared much about the nominal relationship. He just wanted to know Minnie's true thoughts at the moment.
But it's obvious that even she herself is confused now.
"I'm just asking casually, you don't have to answer."
Hearing this, Minnie couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Li Mengnan would take this opportunity to force her to express her position.
If that was the case, she would probably have no choice but to sternly refuse, and eventually the two of them would break up on bad terms, and their relationship would fall to the freezing point again.
This is not the result she wanted.
She will not truly establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Li Mengnan before she is sure of her true inner thoughts, but she does not want to remain alienated from Li Mengnan, because she is really obsessed with the sense of security that comes from being held in Li Mengnan's arms.
It was as if the whole world was cut off by those strong arms, and what was left was a warm harbor that belonged only to her.
