195. Chapter 195 You are going to fight empty-handed
Li Mengnan wanted to turn around, but just as he moved, he felt Qingche's two small hands guarding his chest firmly pressing against his back, as if he didn't want him to turn over.
"Brother Mengnan, I... I just asked you casually, you don't need to answer."
Qing Che also regretted why he asked such a question just now, so he had to bury his face behind Li Mengnan and pretend to be an ostrich.
"Thought about it."
Li Mengnan has no intention of hiding his true thoughts. Everyone has a love for beauty. As long as there is a bottom line in doing things, it doesn't matter what he says.
Qingche originally thought that Li Mengnan would deny it vigorously, but she didn't expect to get an affirmative answer.
But what surprised her was that she didn't feel panicked or scared, but instead felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
"Then...Brother Mengnan, can I ask you another question?"
"You ask, and if I can answer it, I'll tell you." Although he didn't think Qing Che could ask any tricky questions, Li Mengnan never said anything.
"The girl in red on the phone...is she your girlfriend?"
When there was thunder just now, Qingche had already seen Li Mengnan holding her mobile phone. On the screen was the video she recorded in KTV, but she never thought of blaming Li Mengnan. After all, in her opinion, it was her
Peep into Li Mengnan’s privacy first.
Li Mengnan didn't expect that Qingche didn't recognize that the girl in red in the picture was Minnie.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that her mobile phone is just a low-end copycat phone. Even in broad daylight, it can't take any high-definition pictures, let alone in a KTV environment with insufficient light. If you can vaguely see the outline, it can be regarded as...
The industry has a conscience.
That's good, at least neither Qingche nor Minnie knows that such a thing has happened between them, and they won't feel embarrassed when they come in and out.
"Uh... no." Li Mengnan said truthfully again.
Qingche hesitated for a long time, then suddenly slightly grasped the back of Li Mengnan's clothes, making a sound like a mosquito buzzing.
"Then...Brother Mengnan, do you...think...I can do it?"
"Um?"
Li Mengnan did not expect that Qingche would actually say such a statement that was almost a confession. It was completely different from the shy and timid impression she had always given people.
Li Mengnan did not answer yes or no, just smiled and asked: "Are you serious?"
"I..." Qingche hesitated again. The hands close to Li Mengnan's back were trembling slightly, as if he was having a strong ideological struggle in his heart. After a long time, he said softly: "I don't know... I just feel that with Mengnan
Brother, you feel at ease together."
"That's it?"
"Um."
"There is a phenomenon in psychology called the suspension bridge effect." Li Mengnan suddenly talked about a seemingly unrelated topic, "This phenomenon is very complicated to explain in depth, but roughly speaking, when a person feels scared or panicked,
Sometimes, when someone of the opposite sex appears around you, you will have a self-psychological suggestion that you are destined to be the other half. The stronger the fear, the more obvious this feeling will be."
"No, Brother Mengnan, I'm not like this!" Qingche said anxiously. She didn't want Li Mengnan to think that she was a casual girl.
"Of course, emotions are very complicated. No one can quantify them using a unified scale, nor can we just insist that there is no real emotion in the suspension bridge effect."
A little girl of Qingche's age is at the beginning of her love life and is at her most sensitive. Li Mengnan did not want to shock her too much and was very careful to maintain her fragile glass heart.
"But, after all, you are still too young, so it is a bit early to say such things...Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early, you have to go to school tomorrow."
"Brother Mengnan, do you think I'm young?"
Now that she had opened her mouth, Qingche simply gritted her teeth and persisted to the end. If she let tonight go by like this, she might never have the courage to say these words again.
"You think too much. This is not a matter of age... How should I put it? Your mind is not mature yet and you don't understand what real feelings are. Your good impression of me is more of an impulse of gratitude.
As for me, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and a little bit of mysophobia. The most unacceptable thing is the kind of trial love. Although I don't require that a girl must stay with me once she follows me, but at least I have to be sure.
Only if you really like me."
There is the example of Xiao Baoer. When Li Mengnan said these words, he did not treat Qingche as a junior high school girl who was inexperienced in the world, but treated her as a girl of his own age. Therefore, everyone
Everything he said was his true inner thoughts, without any falsehood.
Some people may say that he is old-fashioned and insists on pursuing pure emotions in this age where the pursuit of efficiency is becoming more and more impetuous, but that is the case with him, otherwise he would not have been indifferent to Minnie's obvious hint last night.
Yes, he deliberately pretended not to understand at the time. He understood that Minnie wanted to give up and passively accept it because she was still hesitant.
Li Mengnan could actually say those words at that time, and he could also be sure that as long as he said those words, Minnie would definitely not refuse.
But so what?
Things in this world are never perfect, and people will always regret their choices.
Just like when we buy a lottery ticket, we select a set of numbers from thousands of choices, but when the lottery is drawn, we find that it is a different set of numbers that we gave up on at the beginning.
It would have been better if I had not hesitated more... Almost everyone would have such thoughts of regret when encountering this situation, but no one would think about it, if they had hesitated less and chosen another set of numbers.
, it is very likely that the final lottery numbers will also change.
To put it more superstitiously, there is an invisible force called destiny.
To put it more scientifically, there is a magical logic called the butterfly effect.
To put it more realistically, there is a program called lottery draw.
Okay, the topic has gone too far, and I don’t know if the water meter will be checked... In short, life is spent among countless tangled choices, otherwise there would be no disease called "choice phobia".
But the only difference is that even if it is the same choice, people often will not regret it because it is their own choice, but will turn against each other because it is someone else's choice.
The reason why Li Mengnan has such obsessive-compulsive disorder is that he doesn't want that one day in the future, when this relationship comes to an end, the other person will feel that he was forced or deceived into agreeing to be together.
Li Mengnan's words obviously had some effect. Qing Che behind him nodded in understanding and stopped talking.
However, Li Mengnan could feel that she did not close her eyes and fall asleep, but just lay there motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
The hands of the small alarm clock on the desk next to the bed made a continuous and slight sound, and time passed by like this.
Just when Li Mengnan thought the conversation between the two was over, Qing Che moved behind him. The arm that was originally placed in front of his chest and pressed against his back crossed from the side and wrapped around his waist. He could clearly feel his back.
Two soft objects were pressed against her instantly.
"Brother Meng Nan, thank you."
Qing Che pressed her body tightly against Li Mengnan's back.
"If one day I grow up and understand what true love is, and you still don't have a girlfriend at that time...Brother Meng Nan, please don't reject me again then, okay?"
Li Mengnan smiled. After working on it for a long time, the little girl was still struggling with this matter, but it was commendable that she finally figured it out. He thought it would take a lot of effort to convince her.
"You feel like you are cursing me... When you turn eighteen, I will be twenty-five and I don't have a girlfriend. How unlucky will I be?"
"I...I didn't mean that." Qingche also realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly blushed and defended: "Brother Mengnan, you are a good person, there will definitely be girls who like you...I mean
Say, if you happen to break up with your girlfriend at that time, or if your girlfriend treats you badly, I...I can be your girlfriend."
No matter whether it is true love or not, a girl's first love is always as pure as crystal and makes people feel distressed.
Li Mengnan was lying when he said he wasn't moved. At that moment, he almost couldn't help but turn around and hug Qing Che and kiss her passionately on the spot.
However, a little girl can be young and ignorant, and he cannot be inferior to a beast. He repeatedly recited the six-character mantra "I am not a lolicon" and finally suppressed the evil fire in his heart.
Although he couldn't do anything, Li Mengnan suddenly wanted to tease this little loli and see what other interesting reactions she had.
"What if my girlfriend is nice to me?"
Qingche didn't expect that Li Mengnan would ask such a question. Maybe Li Mengnan was just joking, but after serious consideration, she found that this was actually a very possible situation.
The little girl was suddenly inexplicably panicked. She wanted to express her love like the heroine in the urban love drama on TV. There is a kind of love called letting go, but she found that just thinking about it made her feel so depressed that she could hardly breathe.
"Then...then I can compete fairly with her." Qingche held it in for a long time and finally found a plan that she could accept.
Li Mengnan was very surprised. The little girl is quite persistent. This is a clear plan to poach...
"What if I get married?"
Li Mengnan's words made it clear that he wanted to make things difficult for Qingche, a stubborn little girl.
"Ah? Marry?"
Qingche was almost forced to cry. She had never thought that if she liked someone, she would have to face so many possible troublesome situations. Although she could see at this moment that Li Mengnan was obviously deliberately making things difficult for her, she couldn't help it.
Even if you don’t admit it, this possibility is very high.
After all, the age difference between the two is too big. By the time she reaches the age of eighteen, Li Mengnan will already be old enough to talk about marriage.
Listening to Qing Che hesitating behind his back and unable to explain why, Li Mengnan couldn't help but snickered secretly and said: "What? Do you still want to compete fairly? The starting lines of both sides are different. You are going to fight with bare hands...
"
Qing Che's face turned red when Li Mengnan laughed. He buried his head in the depression between Li Mengnan's shoulders, clenched his small fist and beat him shyly a few times, saying: "Brother Mengnan, you bully me again, you... you
What a bad guy!"
Li Mengnan thought to himself, it was really not easy. After so much effort, he finally changed the good guy card into a bad guy card.
"Humph, if you were married by then, I...I would go to your house to be a nanny, wash and cook for you every day, and when you have a child, I would help you take care of the child. Anyway, this is almost the same as being your girlfriend.
Already."
Although Qing Che was a little angry at Li Mengnan for teasing her, her tone was actually quite serious.
Although there is no relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, she can see Li Mengnan wearing the clothes she washed and eating the food she cooked every day. Just thinking about this scene makes her feel very warm.
If Li Mengnan's joke would become true one day, then she suddenly felt that this might not be the second best option. Although it was not as free and easy as letting go directly, it was much easier to accept psychologically.
"Who dares to hire a young and beautiful nanny like you? You little girl want to roast me on the fire..."
Li Mengnan smiled bitterly. Facing the wall, he naturally couldn't see the determined expression on Qing Che's face, and even if he saw it, he wouldn't think that this little girl would persist in this childish and ridiculous idea until she reaches adulthood.
.
Even a sensitive topic like confession has been discussed, and there is nothing that cannot be said between the two of them.
In this way, Li Mengnan and Qing Che were like a pair of good friends who had known each other for a long time. Starting from their childhood, no matter whether it was interesting or boring, useful or useless, they chatted for almost the whole night.
It wasn't until the sky outside started to get a little brighter that Qingche couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a drowsy sleep.
At this time, the position of the two of them had changed to face to face, with the little girl's head resting on Li Mengnan's arm.
Of course, this doesn't mean anything, it's just a sign of the little girl's trust in Li Mengnan.
Although Qing Che's father had already fallen asleep, Li Mengnan didn't know if he would suddenly wake up and break into Qing Che's room, so he didn't dare to sleep directly and could only close his eyes and rest for a while.
Fortunately, he usually gets enough sleep and his body functions are at their peak. Occasionally staying up all night will have minimal impact on him.
Around the beginning of the morning, the sound of getting up and opening the door came from the bedroom outside. Ten minutes later, the courtyard door outside the house was closed with a bang, and the footsteps of Qingche's father gradually disappeared in the light morning mist outside the window.
I didn’t know what Qing Che was dreaming about earlier. He put a slender thigh on Li Mengnan’s waist, and his whole body was completely hung on his body like an octopus. His little head exuding the fragrance of shampoo kept moving around him.
He rubbed his neck a few times, and the soft hair tickled his ears. He wanted to scratch them but didn't dare to, for fear of waking up the little girl who was sleeping soundly.
But now it's time to leave.
Li Mengnan carefully took his arms out from under Qing Che's neck, got out of bed and put on his shoes, carefully covered the little girl with the quilt, and helped her check the time on the alarm clock again, and then left the room quietly.
Worried about meeting Minnie who also went to school at this time, Li Mengnan did not take the bus but took a taxi back to school.
Although it was the rush hour for work, Li Mengnan was lucky enough not to encounter the legendary traffic jam. When he arrived at Tunghai University, there was still half an hour before the official class time, which was enough for him to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Throughout the morning, the professor stood in front and lectured, while the students sat and slept below. It was a boring and typical university classroom life.
However, there was an episode in the middle. About halfway through the first class, Li Mengnan received a text message from Qing Che.
The content is not nutritious. It probably means that she has already gotten up, but is still late for school. The teacher's criticism makes her feel very stressed.
The little girl was obviously still very shy and didn't say a word about what happened last night, but between the lines she could clearly feel a different kind of intimacy.
Li Mengnan wanted to send her a text message back, but found that no matter what he said, it seemed inappropriate. In the end, he just sent a perfunctory sentence: "Study hard and make progress every day."
The more he cares about someone, the less he cares when he speaks... I believe that little girl Qingche can understand his good intentions.
After lunch, Li Mengnan was about to go back to his dormitory to catch up on his sleep. As soon as he put down his bowls and chopsticks, he was blocked by two beasts, Liang Sanbo and Zhao Yingjun, at the entrance of the cafeteria.
"Two heroes, seeing that you are in such a hurry, are you going to rob wealth? Or are you going to rob sex?"
Li Mengnan had a toothpick in his mouth and squatted on the steps at the entrance of the cafeteria looking at the two people in front of him with a carefree look.
"Jie...Jie Mao!"
The two men obviously ran over, and they were all panting. However, Liang Sanbo could barely speak, while Zhao Yingjun, who was not good at exercise, had already been killed in battle.
"Uh... Hero, is the taste a bit strong?" Li Mengnan opened his eyes wide and covered his lower body, pretending to be horrified.
"Don't... stop talking nonsense, we are... in a hurry!"
Seeing a rare serious look on the sweaty Liang Sanbo's face, Li Mengnan also realized that he must have something serious to do. He immediately changed his face and put away his playful expression and asked: "Sanbo, handsome, what's the matter with you running in such a hurry?
?”
"Still... I'm not looking for you!" Liang Sanbo lifted up the corner of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his face. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, managed to catch his breath, and complained: "Last night, the school's art department came to notify me.
, said that your program has passed and asked you to submit what you need to prepare. Five o'clock today is the final deadline. If you don't submit, you will have to buy the necessary props yourself, and the school will not reimburse you."
"So soon?" Li Mengnan was obviously surprised to hear the news, "Where's that pretty boy named Pei Junmeng? Didn't it say last time that both of our programs have to be decided, and we have to wait until the finals to see the live effects before making a decision?"
Although in the last preliminaries, Li Mengnan's "Mirror Soul" trick overwhelmingly overwhelmed Pei Junmeng's card magic, but considering the possible unexpected situations in the official performance, the school still listed both programs as pending, so that they can be prepared if the situation arises.
