Chapter 899

Although Wang Li had a foolish and cute image at this moment, there is a saying that goes:

"People who like you won't care about your shortcomings and deficiencies; only those who don't like you will nitpick and find a pile of reasons to dislike you."

So, Li Li Xiuyu looked at the foolish Wang Li, took the initiative to reach out her hand, and placed it on Wang Li's hand.

At this moment, Wang Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he was stunned for a moment, but then he showed a look of ecstasy and gripped Li Li Xiuyu's hand very tightly.

It was just that Wang Li was a bit too excited, so he used too much force. Li Li Xiuyu let out an "Ouch," then frowned and said:

"Be gentle, why are you gripping my hand so hard?"

Wang Li said "Ah?" and hurriedly let go of Li Li Xiuyu's hand.

He kept saying:

"I... I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to..."

Looking at the flustered Wang Li, Li Li Xiuyu shook her hand, which was aching from Wang Li's grip, and said:

"Oh, it's fine, I'm not that delicate."

It must be said, the perfectly good atmosphere for romance was ruined by Wang Li just like that.

Mainly because Li Li Xiuyu had just acted on impulse, and now that she had sobered up, she naturally wouldn't be impulsive again.

You have to know that in this era, girls were very reserved. If it weren't for Wang Li's words earlier that had completely moved Li Li Xiuyu, she would never have taken the initiative to reach out her hand.

Now, who knows when Wang Li will get another chance to grab Li Li Xiuyu's little hand.

The key is that Wang Li didn't know what it meant to be proactive. If Wang Li were replaced by Wang An, things would have developed in another direction.

For example, when they were free, he could take Li Li Xiuyu into the cornfield for a while, or run into the small woods for some romance; these were all things that could be explored.

Because what Wang Li didn't know was that men and women are actually the same; boys have a very strong interest in girls' body structures, but similarly, girls also very much want to understand boys' body structures.

Simply put, don't be timid when dating; you must be proactive, be even more proactive, be brave, and be even braver.

In the end, you will find that after all this time, her thoughts about me were far more intense than my thoughts about her.

After a while, Li Li Xiuyu said with some worry:

"Wang Li, do you think Fourth Brother can really drive away those people who lend money at high interest?"

Although she had already verified this with Mu Mu Xueqing, Li Li Xiuyu was clearly still a bit afraid and worried about this matter.

After all, if Wang An couldn't solve this, Li Li Xiuyu would still be in a state of not daring to return home.

Hearing Li Li Xiuyu ask this, Wang Li suddenly realized that the reason Li Li Xiuyu agreed to date him was because Wang An had promised to help her deal with those loan sharks.

Simply put, this was actually a trade!

Realizing this, Wang Li looked at the girl he liked and suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Wang Li not speaking but staring straight at her, Li Li Xiuyu said with some confusion:

"Wang Li, I'm asking you something. Why are you staring at me like that?"

As she spoke, Li Li Xiuyu even patted Wang Li's thigh with her hand.

After continuing to be silent for a while, Wang Li said softly:

"Fourth Brother was very powerful when he was in the county town; he had a large group of people under him. Later, he got to know many high-ranking officials, so dealing with those few loan sharks in the township should be quite simple."

After saying this, Wang Li continued to lower his head in silence.

But Li Li Xiuyu let out a deep sigh of relief and said through gritted teeth:

"Those animals, it would be best if they could all be arrested and shot, so they don't harm people anymore."

It was clear that Li Li Xiuyu absolutely detested those loan sharks.

After Li Li Xiuyu finished, she thought Wang Li would echo her words; after all, they were dating. Even if Wang Li couldn't help her solve the substantive problem, cursing along with her would count as helping her vent her anger.

But Li Li Xiuyu waited for a long time only to find Wang Li lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

So, Li Li Xiuyu was a little angry.

Fortunately, Li Li Xiuyu still had a sense of propriety and didn't directly question Wang Li, but instead rolled her eyes at him and chose to sulk alone.

Just like that, the entire east room became silent.

After a long time, Wang Li suddenly had a brain spasm—to be precise, after thinking for so long, he said:

"Li Xiuyu, if you don't want to live with me, once Fourth Brother finishes helping you with your business, you should just go home. We can just consider that we never dated."

At this moment, Wang Li looked very solemn, as if he could say these words because it was the result of his deep consideration.

It must be said, if Wang Li's words were heard by Wang An, Wang An would definitely give Wang Li two slaps and then kick him a few times.

It was so hard to find a girlfriend for Wang Li, and it was someone Wang Li had been thinking about all along, yet Wang Li was now saying he would give up just like that.

Little did he know that Wang Li's actions, while seemingly righteous and as if he were letting go for love, were actually only moving himself.

Because love is selfish by nature.

Wang An's theory is: I love you, so why the hell don't you love me?

And Wang Li's thought is: I love you, I just purely hope you live well.

Li Li Xiuyu was stunned upon hearing this, because no matter what, she never expected Wang Li to say such things.

Li Li Xiuyu, who had reacted, couldn't help but raise her hand and hit Wang Li's shoulder, then said with an annoyed face:

"What are you saying? What do you mean I don't want to live with you? If I didn't want to live with you, would I have agreed to Fourth Brother to date you?"

Wang Li muttered:

"Wasn't it because Fourth Brother was going to help you deal with those loan sharks that you reluctantly agreed?"

Hearing Wang Li say this, Li Li Xiuyu instantly exploded and immediately said angrily:

"When was I reluctant? Make yourself clear, when was I reluctant?"

At this moment, Li Li Xiuyu looked like a little tiger showing its power, cute and fierce, very adorable.

It must be said, although no one knows who Li Li Xiuyu really has in her heart, or what she is really thinking...

But when Wang An talked to Li Li Xiuyu at that time, her attitude was definitely not a problem.
