Chapter 117

(There is a little love plot, if you don't like it, please skip to the next chapter)

The Wen family didn't mean to let Li Ye marry into their family, they just invited him to stay at their house for a few days because it was still early before school started.

But Li Ye declined several times and finally only agreed to stay at the Wen house for one day.

Although Teacher Ke's family was enthusiastic, they weren't family yet after all. Li Ye thought it was better for him to be a bit "reserved."

Teacher Ke agreed quite pleasantly, but Wen Watching Wen Leyu was a bit displeased. Although she couldn't see anything on her face, when she put the water kettle in Li Ye's room, it fell with a loud "clatter."

Li Ye smiled and didn't say anything. The little girl knew he needed to drink water in the middle of the night after drinking, so sending a kettle over was very considerate. Why should he lose his temper with her at this time?

Speaking of losing temper, it's also a byproduct of the two people going from strangers to lovers, right!

Seeing Li Ye not talking to her, Wen Watching Wen Leyu walked away with her small cheeks puffed out.

Then Teacher Ke called Wen Watching Wen Leyu over and said amusedly: "How is it? Did I guess right?"

Wen Watching Wen Leyu pouted and said: "He's just being coy."

Teacher Ke shook her head and said seriously: "Li Ye isn't being coy at all. He only stays at our house for one day, which shows both affection and a sense of propriety. Didn't you also not want to go to his house for the New Year when Li Ye asked you?"

Wen Watching Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, but still muttered: "He's not a girl, what sense of propriety does he need?"

Teacher Ke sighed helplessly.

Her daughter was actually very smart. In the days since returning to Beijing, whether meeting elders or contacting old friends, she had performed very well, even better than she had expected.

It could be said that the suffering of the past few years hadn't made Wen Watching Wen Leyu shy or fearful, but instead tempered her character, allowing her to possess sensitive and steady handling abilities.

Compared with those peers who had always stayed in Beijing, Wen Watching Wen Leyu was not inferior, and in some aspects, even better.

But once she got involved with Li Ye, Wen Watching Wen Leyu seemed to have become a different person, with sensibility far outweighing rationality, doing whatever she wanted, not caring about other people's views and feelings at all.

"Alright, haven't you been looking forward to him coming? Now that he's here, don't lose your temper, get along with him well, understand him carefully, and if there's any... incompatibility, remember to tell me, do you remember?"

"I know, I know, you're too meddlesome."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu walked away with a "clatter" in her slippers and closed her bedroom door with a "bang," as if her temper was even bigger than the one she had toward Li Ye just now.

Teacher Ke shook her head and then fell into deep thought.

Her own daughter actually talked back to her. When was the last time she talked back to her?

It seemed to be when she was less than ten years old, insisting on "learning historical knowledge" and arguing to read comic books, right?

No one knows a daughter better than a mother. All of Wen Watching Wen Leyu's performances these days were "well-intentioned."

After returning to Beijing, Wen Watching Wen Leyu quickly realized that there was an obvious "portal barrier" between her and Li Ye.

The elders and friends around them spoke of being open-minded, but in their bones, they actually valued "matching social status," and this trend was still very serious.

Some old friends even had the intention of matchmaking for the younger generation.

After the little girl realized this, she immediately learned to ride a bicycle, cleaned up Li Ye's room...

She was ignorant and didn't know how to tell her parents directly, so she used her own way to express her persistent will to everyone around her.

【Look carefully, pay attention, I've chosen him, don't mess around with those things for me!】

"You want to choose him, I didn't stop you either! But you have to look at him clearly from inside and out, carefully!"

Teacher Ke didn't dislike Li Ye, and as Wen Watching Wen Leyu said, she even quite liked Li Ye.

Good-looking, courageous, and knowledgeable, he also had a compatible temperament with her husband and son, and more importantly, the experience between him and her daughter gave the two a deep emotional foundation.

Compared with the couples who generally "marry first and fall in love later" nowadays, the ones like Wen Watching Wen Leyu and Li Ye were truly rare.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu's personality changed drastically before, and she didn't talk to anyone. It was Li Ye who changed her, let her slowly become cheerful and lively, until now she dared to talk back to her...

Which young girl doesn't talk back to her mother?

So for these changes in Wen Watching Wen Leyu, Teacher Ke saw them in her eyes and was happy in her heart.

But at the same time, if Li Ye once "had a problem," the blow to Wen Watching Wen Leyu would be devastating, so Teacher Ke let Wen Watching Wen Leyu get along with Li Ye well and grind in carefully.

As a result, she just said one sentence "if there's any incompatibility," and her precious daughter got angry.

Teacher Ke also had a headache. Who doesn't love their own daughter! Teacher Ke letting Wen Watching Wen Leyu "understand Li Ye well" wasn't a casual joke.

Because this meant that Li Ye had entered the "review" stage. Once recognized, the Wen family would treat Li Ye as a prospective son-in-law and invest resources in key training.

"Wen Qingsheng, Wen Qingsheng..."

Teacher Ke wanted to talk to her husband about her worries, but Wen Wen Qingsheng was already fast asleep.

Teacher Ke was so angry that she gave him a hard kick. Usually, he bragged about how big his alcohol tolerance was, but when it came to the critical moment, he was drunk, truly dropping the chain.

The next day, Li Ye showed a "drunk" state and got up a bit late. The three people in the family who had to go to work were all up.

This made the Wen family father and son feel much better. If two men who had been tested by alcohol in the north couldn't drink a kid, and finally Teacher Ke had to make the final decision, wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?

Wen Wen Qingsheng exhorted his daughter: "Let him sleep a while longer, he's still too young and too inexperienced. Make him a bowl of soup to drink later."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu really made a large bowl of soup and put it on the dining table to cool.

Li Ye couldn't sleep anymore. After the three people who had to go to work left, he hurriedly got up to eat and drink soup.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu sat opposite, watched Li Ye finish the breakfast, and then said with a flavor: "So able to eat? Why aren't you coy anymore? Why aren't you distant anymore?"

Li Ye knew the little girl's meaning and said amusedly: "I have no name and no status, how can I stay at your house casually? How about you marry me directly, and I won't leave your house tomorrow."

"."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye blankly, having no ability to adapt to such "tiger and wolf words."

This is '82. The concept of eating soft rice hasn't become popular yet!

"Who... who... who wants to marry... hahahaha"

Wen Watching Wen Leyu stuttered twice, blushing, and then couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Li Ye looked at Wen Watching Wen Leyu, who was laughing heartily, and felt his heart and spirit surging.

A girl of this age, no matter how mature or steady she is on the surface, the youthful romance in her heart cannot be eliminated.

Moreover, Wen Watching Wen Leyu only showed this kind of romance to him.

And outsiders would only see a cold, indifferent, and steady Wen Watching Wen Leyu.

After eating, Wen Watching Wen Leyu took out the itinerary and let Li Ye choose where to visit first.

Li Ye said: "Let's go to the train station to get the luggage first, hand it over to Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and the others, and then go eat, shop, and watch a movie."

"Did Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng come too?"

Wen Watching Wen Leyu had been sponging meals for more than half a year in the Second Grain Store, and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng delivered vegetables specifically, so of course she knew him.

"Hmm, he arrived a few days ago and is staying in a hotel east of the train station. It's not far, it won't take us an hour."

Li Ye had arranged for Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Hao Hao Jian to make arrangements in advance, and the first thing was to find a house.

Houses in Beijing in '82 were slowly starting to rise in price. More importantly, many good houses were sold one less at a time. There wasn't just one person like Li Ye who had vision.

"Then let's go! We can watch the morning movie, then go to Shazikou to eat fried liver, visit the Forbidden City, the Memorial Hall..."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu knew the itinerary by heart and quickly made arrangements. Water bottles, umbrellas, and the like were all prepared, making Li Ye feel like a "big man."

"Here, try these on."

Li Ye took out the two pairs of "couple-style" sports shoes from his bag.

The large-scale popularity of sports shoes in China would take a few more years. The "travel shoes" of the eighties were foreign invaders that fought a hard battle with Feiyue.

Li Ye took advantage of the time difference to buy them in advance, which was still very fashionable.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu's eyes narrowed, just like a little cat that had been stroked comfortably.

She had long known that Li Ye had bought her a pair of shoes, and today she could finally try them on.

After putting them on, the size was suitable, the softness and hardness were moderate, especially the several stacks of socks Li Ye matched, which made Wen Watching Wen Leyu even more satisfied.

Southerners were "meticulous" compared to northerners for a long time. New-era sports shoes might be bought in Friendship Stores, but various socks coming from Hong Kong belonged to "ignored" subdivided daily necessities.

However, just after Wen Watching Wen Leyu changed into the sports shoes with satisfaction, she discovered that Li Ye was staring at her shoe cabinet, sizing up a pair of brand-new high heels.

"Are these your shoes?"

"Hmm, my mom bought them for me."

"Wear high heels today!"

"Not very appropriate."

"Also, these shoes are hard to wear. After Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's girlfriend put them on, she fell twice."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu rolled her eyes at Li Ye, as if she saw through some of his little thoughts.

The little girl took out the high heels, changed into them, and walked two laps in the living room for Li Ye.

Graceful, natural, and generous, her small waist swayed lightly, and the heels clicked crisply, making Li Ye feel amazed.

My Xiao Yu has great potential to be tapped.

But it was a pity that Wen Watching Wen Leyu only walked two laps for Li Ye and changed out of them when going out.

"My mom said that wearing high heels depends on the occasion. In school, at work, in serious occasions, and in front of elders, it's better not to wear them, as it will give people a frivolous and unstable impression."

Li Ye was stunned for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said: "They are all old-fashioned, they don't know how to appreciate beauty."
