Wait, Tunghai University, Russian and Chinese mixed race, why do these conditions sound so familiar together?
"Lilia, is your cousin's surname Gao, Gao Dingtian?"
"Ah? How do you know? Do you know my cousin?" Lilia said in surprise.
"More than just acquaintance, he and I share a dormitory."
The flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Li Mengnan had heard Gao Dingtian mention it more than once before that he had a very beautiful Russian cousin, but he didn't expect that it was actually Lilia in front of him.
Now that he knew that Lilia was Gao Dingtian's cousin, Li Mengnan couldn't just leave some money and let her fend for herself. He called Gao Dingtian in advance and acted as a flower protector to escort the blonde girl to Tunghai University.
.
After handing over the heavy travel bag that was said to be a souvenir, Gao Dingtian temporarily left Lilia in the dormitory and called Li Mengnan, Zhao Yingjun and Liang Sanbo into the corridor.
"Brother! Don't let the wealth go to outsiders, brother!"
As soon as he closed the bedroom door, Liang Sanbo shamelessly hugged Gao Dingtian's black-haired thigh.
"Go away! That's my aunt's cousin. How could I push her into the fire pit? You better give up!" Gao Dingtian kicked her away.
"No! Brother, why have I become a pit of fire? Is it called Passionate as Fire? Maybe our cousin Lilia likes my style?"
Liang Sanbo hugged him again like a dog-skin plaster, unable to shake him off.
"Bitch!" Zhao Yingjun turned his face to the side, expressing that he didn't know Liang Sanbo.
"On the top floor." Li Mengnan also expressed his support.
Gao Dingtian was also cornered by Liang Sanbo. He patted him on the shoulder to tell him to let go, shook his head and said: "Don't be fooled by my cousin's current appearance. This girl was raised as a boy by my uncle since she was a child. She has a bad temper.
I'm very violent, and I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. When I was a kid, I was beaten to tears by my friends, and she always helped me find a place to vent my anger.
My uncle was a famous strongman wrestler back in the day. I wonder if this girl has inherited my uncle's genes. It can be said that she is born with supernatural powers. When she was five years old, she could chase a group of seven or eight-year-old children all over the street.
, when he was nine years old, he could beat four or five boys in junior high school until they broke bones.
It was even worse when she was sixteen years old. It is said that she got lost when she went hunting with my uncle in the mountains. When she was found by the local police two days later, they found that she was roasting bear meat to eat... That unlucky bear was killed by
He grabbed his throat and strangled him alive."
"Isn't it? So cruel?" Liang Sanbo and Zhao Yingjun said in surprise.
Liang Sanbo subconsciously touched his neck, probably trying to see who had the thicker neck.
Li Mengnan laughed dryly. He had already seen the strange power of Lilia, a blonde girl. Gao Dingtian's description was definitely not an exaggeration, and it might even be considered conservative.
"But, this... this shouldn't have anything to do with love, right?" Liang Sanbo is still obsessed with evil.
"It may not matter to ordinary girls, but Lilia cannot be treated as an ordinary girl."
Gao Dingtian rubbed his temples with a grimace. When he mentioned his cousin, not to mention that he had a headache, the whole family also had a headache.
"Perhaps she was too deeply influenced by my uncle. Lilia's affection for a boy is directly proportional to his strength. She once said before that if you want to be her boyfriend, you must first be able to defeat her. She will not fight with him.
A relationship with a man who is weaker than myself."
Liang Sanbo's face turned pale at that moment. This girl was a fierce person who could kill a bear with her bare hands. If he wanted to defeat her, wouldn't he first have to find a bear as a sparring partner?
"Okay, my cousin is just here for a trip, and she can't live here permanently, so just put away your little thoughts! There are so many soft girls in the school, aren't they enough for you to toss around?"
Gao Dingtian also knows that Liang Sanbo is just a three-minute guy, and his interest can come and go quickly. So far, he has never seen him hang himself stubbornly on a "crooked neck tree", so he doesn't take his words too seriously.
serious.
"Okay, let's get down to business... My cousin has lost her passport and can't stay in a hotel. You know a lot of girls. Please help me ask which dormitory has an empty bed."
It was rare for Gao Dingtian to ask for help. Liang Sanbo and Zhao Yingjun picked up the phone without saying a word and began to contact the girls they knew well one by one.
Li Mengnan didn't know many girls in school, and there were only two that he was familiar with.
After explaining the situation in detail, Minnie regretfully expressed that she was helpless. However, good news came from Le Youyou. One of her roommates went home to attend a funeral and took a week off, which happened to have a free bed.
At this time, it was less than an hour before bedtime, and Li Mengnan no longer delayed, and immediately took Lilia downstairs to the girls' dormitory not far away.
After briefly greeting Lilia and getting to know each other, Le Youyou asked a girl who was sleeping with him to take Lilia upstairs first, while she stayed temporarily.
"Have you ever had your fortune told?"
Watching Lilia's tall and powerful figure disappear through the building door, Le Youyou suddenly turned to Li Mengnan and asked.
"What kind of fate is this?" Li Mengnan asked curiously.
"You're lucky! I find that whenever I see you, there always seems to be one or two beautiful girls around you. This time, they all went abroad. Oh, blond Yangma, you have to take it easy with your small body.
..." Le Youyou raised her eyebrows teasingly and poked Li Mengnan in the waist with her elbow.
"Well, when you say it this way, it seems like that's true... Do you know a reliable fortune teller? Let me introduce you to one. The peach blossoms are really frighteningly prosperous recently. I have to break them quickly, otherwise it will become a peach blossom disaster and it will be troublesome.
Already." Li Mengnan held his chin in deep thought, as if he was thinking seriously.
"You are really thick-skinned." Le Youyou pouted. She knew that Li Mengnan would definitely use the pole to climb up.
Li Mengnan smiled, changed the subject and asked, "Is your sister gone?"
"She left a long time ago... Why do you miss her so soon?" Le Youyou looked at Li Mengnan with a half-smile.
"Just asking."
Li Mengnan also couldn't understand why whenever he mentioned Le Taotao, Le Youyou's tone always had a strange and yin-yang feeling. Jealousy could not be mentioned, but no matter how he heard it, he felt that he must be unhappy.
"Here you go." Le Youyou took out a white jade pendant woven with red rope from his pocket, stuffed it into Li Mengnan's hand, and hummed softly: "This is what my sister left for you, she said it was the bowl.
A thank you gift for porridge."
"If I had known about this good thing, I should have sent a few more bowls." Li Mengnan took it with a smile and hung it around his neck without looking at it.
"Tch, just be satisfied. As far as I know, my sister has never taken the initiative to give gifts to boys."
Le Youyou has always admired Li Mengnan's point of view. He valued favors rather than the value of the items themselves. Few of the friends she knew had such a free and easy attitude.
"Li Mengnan, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"If...I mean if." Le Youyou emphasized again and again, as if he was afraid that Li Mengnan would misunderstand something, "If Taotao really likes you, what are you going to do?"
Li Mengnan doesn't think there is such a "what if" possibility. His interactions with Le Taotao are limited to a few online chats, and at most a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. If this can also attract the other party's love, then
A goddess-level girl like Le Taotao is too easy to flirt with.
"Let's show it off." Li Mengnan didn't know what Le Youyou's intention was in asking this question, so he simply gave an answer that was equivalent to no answer.
"Your answer is really irresponsible." Le Youyou pouted, expressing dissatisfaction with Li Mengnan's "Tai Chi Push Hands".
Li Mengnan also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Miss Leda, your sister can't get pregnant even if she says a few words to me on the Internet, how can she be so serious about being responsible?"
Le Youyou wanted to say something else, but his words were interrupted by a cell phone ringing.
Li Mengnan took out his mobile phone and saw "Qingche" on the caller ID, and made an apologetic expression to Le Youyou. Le Youyou shrugged nonchalantly, indicating that he would go back to the dormitory first and contact him another day.
"Hey, Qingche, what happened?"
Li Mengnan knew that Qingche was a very sensible girl. Ever since she learned that he and Wu Ansu were dating, she had put herself in a very straight position. When he was in school, she would only send greeting text messages at most, and would only send greetings when something really happened.
I will only call when.
"Brother Mengnan, am I not disturbing you by calling so late?"
Qing Che lowered her voice very low. Li Mengnan knew that she was afraid that Wu Ansu would be around, so he couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, I'm alone now."
Qingche breathed a sigh of relief, maybe because of the last "stealing", she was always worried that her presence would affect the relationship between Li Mengnan and Wu Ansu.
"Actually, it's not a big deal...tomorrow is the deadline for moving, I...I don't know where to go..." Qingche said hesitantly.
move?
Because the demolition compensation had already been taken away by Mitong, Li Mengnan had almost forgotten that such a thing existed.
"Isn't your father back yet?"
"No, and his phone number can't be reached either."
Li Mengnan nodded, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome.
The situation of Qingche's family is different from that of other residents. The house her family lives in is rented, not owned like the Xiao family, so there is no demolition compensation or temporary resettlement housing.
Although Qing Pei left Qing Che a sum of living expenses before leaving home, it was only enough for daily food and clothing, and additional expenses such as renting a house were obviously not included.
If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing he could do about it, Qingche wouldn't have called him so late given his character of not wanting to cause trouble to others.
"Why don't you stay at our house first? Everything in the room is ready-made anyway." Li Mengnan said.
"Brother Mengnan, I know you are good to me, but... I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Qingche's tone was soft, but his attitude was extremely firm, "Aunt Xiao is a good person, and Sister Bao'er and Minnie won't mind either.
, but that is your home after all, and I am an outsider there after all. It may not matter if I stay temporarily for a few days, but if you stay for a long time, everyone will not be comfortable."
Li Mengnan thought about it and felt that what Qing Che said made some sense. Xiao Baoer and Minnie, two sisters who had lived together since childhood, would quarrel with each other from time to time, not to mention an outsider like Qing Che. Once they live under the same roof for a long time,
Different living habits and work and rest patterns will inevitably cause a series of conflicts, which will instead affect the original close relationship between the two parties.
"Then... let me help you figure out a solution for the house. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Among the benefits of the HX Research Institute is a 60-square-meter apartment. Because we are living well in this apartment, Li Mengnan has not reported to the research institute to apply. It is just right to temporarily accommodate Qing Che.
"Thank you then, Brother Mengnan."
Qingche already regarded Li Mengnan as the first and last man in her life, so she no longer had any psychological barriers to accepting Li Mengnan's care.
At this point, Qingche and Minnie are fundamentally different. Although they appear to be equally strong and independent on the surface, Qingche's heart is the kind of meek character who is willing to give up himself for love, while Minnie can only do it for her mother and...
Only under Baoer's circumstances will she give up her inner persistence. In her eyes, feelings will always come second.
…
The next morning, Li Mengnan asked for a half-day leave from the department. After contacting the moving company, he took a car to Qingche's home in the shanty town.
A broken home is worth thousands of dollars. Qingche's family seems to be very poor and they don't have much. In fact, there are quite a lot of bits and pieces packed up. They are all packed and piled together by Qingche. It seems that he got up very early to do it.
get ready.
"Brother Meng Nan, why are you here? You won't have class today?"
Seeing Li Mengnan walk into the courtyard, Qing Che, who was rolling up his sleeves and packing his things, showed surprise. He put down his work and ran over like a cheerful bird and threw himself into Li Mengnan's arms.
"I'm not worried about you moving alone." Li Mengnan pinched Qing Che's tender little face affectionately, "Don't pack it up, I have already contacted the moving company, they will be here soon, leave it to them...
You must not have eaten yet, let’s go eat first, and after breakfast we will take you directly to your accommodation.”
"But... don't we need to keep anyone at home?" Qingche subconsciously glanced at the piles of things in the yard.
"With these rags, are you still worried that someone will steal them?" Li Mengnan reached out his hand and rubbed Qing Che's head in a funny way.
The place to have breakfast is still the bun shop across the street from the shanty town.
The scope of the city government's demolition and reconstruction this time is very large, and the area where this bun shop is located is also included. The big word "Demolish" written in red paint on the wall is very eye-catching, and the shop owner hangs up the slogan "Stick to the last shift.
The red cloth banners "Half price for three days to reward new and old customers" contrast with each other interestingly.
There were many diners in the bun shop at this time. Most of the chats were about how much compensation they had received or the location of their new home. The whole place was filled with laughter and laughter.
Ever since the two of them entered the house, Qingche had been acting a little absent-minded, with a hint of unnoticeable sadness in his seemingly normal expression, and he would often wander away from time to time while eating.
Li Mengnan knew that she was at a stage where she was confused about her future. She was already cautiously living under the shadow of domestic violence. Sudden changes in the surrounding environment would only intensify her inner panic.
"Have you not contacted your father yet?" Li Mengnan coughed slightly, interrupting Qing Che's thoughts.
"No...but this is a normal situation. Every time my father goes south to find my mother, he will turn off his mobile phone and not contact anyone. When he spends all the money, he will come back naturally."
Qingche lowered her head and sighed softly. She had long been accustomed to this kind of life where she was alone every once in a while.
"What are you going to do in the future? Will you continue to live like this with your father?"
Qingpei has no special skills. He has always relied on odd jobs to make ends meet. He also has a bad habit of drinking. His family's financial situation has always been in a serious deficit. If Qingche continues to follow him, he will most likely have to drop out of school after graduating from junior high school.
danger.
Qingche also knew what Li Mengnan was referring to. He was silent for a moment and whispered: "This is probably fate..."
Li Mengnan has always pitied Qingche, a poor girl, and even once wanted his mother Xiao Hui to adopt Qingche as an adopted daughter. However, Qingche's parents only divorced rather than died. Even if the HX Research Institute has certain privileges,
It is impossible to forcibly deprive Qingche of custody rights from the other party's parents, who are the first guardians.
"How about... you go find your mother."
Perhaps this is the only way to get Qing Che out of the sea of suffering at this moment. Even without using the power of the HX Research Institute, it is not difficult to find the current address of Qing Che's mother through the household registration system based on Li Mengnan's current relationship with the police station.
