Chapter 253

After the debate ended, the situation on site was a bit chaotic. Li Ye's head teacher, Mu Mu Yunning, squeezed from the back row to the front row, only to find that in the blink of an eye, Li Ye had disappeared.

"Where is Li Ye? Where did he run off to?"

Sun Sun Xianjin and Pu Pu Xianghe both shrank their necks and quietly moved backward like quails, revealing the class monitor, Zhen Seeing Zhen Rongrong.

This beautiful head teacher, Mu Mu Yunning, did not belong to the type of "friend teacher" who gets along well with students. If students made mistakes, she would truly scold them severely as if training her own grandchildren.

Looking at her straight face right now, did Li Ye's thoughts on marriage and love just now violate the school's taboos again?

Zhen Seeing Zhen Rongrong knew Mu Mu Yunning a bit deeper, knowing that this teacher was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. After all, her appearance was a bit high, and if she were always gentle, it would easily lead to many unnecessary troubles.

So Zhen Seeing Zhen Rongrong said: "Teacher, Li Ye left with friends from the Literature Society first. Is there... something wrong with us?"

Mu Mu Yunning shook her head slightly: "There is nothing wrong with you. I just want to remind you that someone will definitely come to argue and quarrel with you next."

"Remember to remind Li Ye not to pay attention to them. If they pester you, remember to come find me immediately."

"Oh, okay, Teacher Mu, we'll remember."

Zhen Seeing Zhen Rongrong couldn't understand Mu Mu Yunning's meaning and just nodded obediently.

In her view, the four of them won completely today, completely beating the other side until they couldn't lift their heads. Who would dare to argue with them again, and who would be qualified to argue with them?

Zhen Seeing Zhen Rongrong and the others were still too young and didn't understand human nature as well as Mu Mu Yunning.

If someone's interests are poked by you, it would be strange if they didn't argue with you to the end.

Pestering you to death, sparing no effort.

To avoid trouble, Li Ye slipped away with Wen Watching Wen Leyu as soon as the debate ended.

They slipped all the way to the edge of Weiming Lake, and only then did they start their hand-in-hand strolling mode.

But tonight, Wen Watching Wen Leyu's little hand took the initiative, holding Li Ye's hand extra tightly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth and curved eyebrows; her mood was obviously very pleasant.

Li Ye asked: "Xiao Yu, what are you giggling about?"

Wen Watching Wen Leyu tilted her head and rolled her eyes at Li Ye, pouting and holding back laughter, saying: "I want to laugh when I think of how you looked just now. Clearly, you haven't reached the legal age, yet you talked about family and marriage so seriously, acting all old-fashioned and pretentious..."

"What are you saying? Who's acting old-fashioned and pretentious?"

Li Ye said amusingly: "I indeed haven't reached the legal age, but haven't I seen pigs run even if I haven't eaten pork? I'm really not bragging; I know all the various problems in family and marriage like the back of my hand."

"Hahahaha~, like the back of your hand, you're bragging..."

Listening to Li Ye's last bit of Beijing dialect "like the back of my hand," Wen Watching Wen Leyu finally couldn't help but laugh.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu, this girl, is undoubtedly rational compared to other girls.

Li Ye's words at the debate resonated with all the girls, including Wen Watching Wen Leyu, of course. After all, the two of them have come this far, and they must have longed for the days of spending the rest of their lives together.

But because of Li Ye's age, Wen Watching Wen Leyu, while deeply touched, always felt that Li Ye was a bit mischievous... but very interesting, and she liked him very much.

"I'm really not bragging."

Li Ye held Wen Watching Wen Leyu's hand and said while walking: "Before my grandfather returned to his work post, our family lived very frugally. My father dragged me and my sister..."

"There was only a little food left in the house. Every day, my grandmother could only make a pot of porridge. The first to eat was me, the second was my father, and the third was my grandfather..."

"But when it was my grandmother's turn to eat, she would definitely push half a bowl to my grandfather, saying, 'I can't drink it anymore, you help me drink it'..."

This situation wasn't just in our family; there were many such situations in Qingshui County, including the arranged marriages that everyone now rejects.

Li Ye sighed and said: "Marriage may not always be beautiful, but it must be real. The flowers and romance in poems are love, but a bowl of hot soup on the stove is also love!"

Actually, Li Ye said these words from the bottom of his heart.

In his previous life, he had sent a few bouquets of flowers, but the hot soup he got in return... wasn't even half a bowl.

But in the 1980s, the love of a bowl of hot soup was universally present.

What is the spring of a real man? Damn, this is it.

After a few decades, when summer comes, love will be as intense as the scorching heat of the dog days... Princess, please get in the car, Princess, please eat, Princess, can your humble servant sleep on the bed today?

Wen Watching Wen Leyu tilted her head again and looked at Li Ye, her little nose slowly turning red.

Eating someone's food makes you soft-mouthed, taking someone's things makes you soft-handed.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu and Li Ye hadn't experienced the hardship of half a bowl of hot soup, but Li Ye had been feeding her for almost two years; couldn't she taste the deep affection in it?

In that fruit lunch box that was brought to her hand every day, was it really just fruit?

Full of love, it had long since overflowed into Wen Watching Wen Leyu's heart, okay?

The clever Wen Watching Wen Leyu suddenly smiled slyly, pouted her little mouth, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't eat enough tonight!"

Li Ye was stunned, a bit unaccustomed to Wen Watching Wen Leyu's abnormality.

"Then what do you want to eat? I still have two packs of biscuits and a few apples there..."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu lowered her head, not letting Li Ye see her triumphant look, and said softly and sweetly: "I want to eat French fries~"

Li Ye almost slapped Wen Watching Wen Leyu on the back of her head.

Because her cute look right now was too similar to his sister's little niece in his previous life.

Even though he knew he couldn't let her eat junk food, could he endure her acting like a spoiled child?

The clever Wen Watching Wen Leyu had actually learned this girl's "dragon-slaying technique"?

Li Ye had to say: "You can't eat French fries often; eating too much makes you fat."

Under Li Ye's nourishment, Wen Watching Wen Leyu's figure had reached just the right level, a bit baby-fat, with a ruddy complexion amidst her youth, so Li Ye couldn't bear to destroy this rare balance.

But Wen Watching Wen Leyu pouted her little mouth and said seriously: "My mom said I'm a bit thin."

"."

Alright! Is Wen Watching Wen Leyu greedy for those little French fries? She is clearly savoring the "love" Li Ye spoke of, right?

"Okay, let's go make French fries."

Li Ye couldn't care about educating the child anymore and pulled Wen Watching Wen Leyu to ride a bicycle to the dormitory.

To eat French fries, you have to go to Zaojunmiao; rushing back would take until eight or nine o'clock, so you have to ride a bicycle.

But as soon as Li Ye and Wen Watching Wen Leyu arrived downstairs at the boys' dormitory, they were surrounded by a group of people.

Among these people, Li Ye recognized a few, including Lu Gang, and one or two poets who were quite talented at the time.

The poet was about to speak, but Lu Gang took the lead and said: "Li Ye, we have just reviewed it. You violated the speaking rules of the debate, constantly usurping our right to speak, and used sophistry to lead the debate content to topics completely unrelated to love..."

You guys aren't stupid either!

In the debate that just ended, Li Ye and the others did indeed take advantage of the "confused" state of Zhu Zhu Yonghe, Lu Gang, and others, violating the free debate rule of alternating speaking, and asked questions continuously to secure the victory.

But the problem is, I spoke once, and you couldn't react for a long time. Should I wait for you to figure it out before continuing?

But Li Ye wasn't in the mood to argue with Lu Gang right now. He said indifferently: "Students, this is not debate time. If you have something to find me for, let's make an appointment to compare notes another day!"

"."

The poet who had just been preempted by Lu Gang wanted to speak again, but was blocked back by Li Ye's blunt words.

He was immediately unhappy.

Although he wasn't like those famous poets of this era who would attract "thousands of people to visit" once they appeared, he was still a popular figure wherever he went.

Everyone liked to discuss poetry and literature with him. Where had he ever encountered someone who blocked his mouth before he could even speak?

"Li Ye, how can you be like this?"

Lu Gang said angrily: "We waited for you here for so long; you are truly too impolite, too uneducated."

Li Ye was originally thinking about making French fries for Wen Watching Wen Leyu! But suddenly hearing the three words "uneducated," the indifferent mindset of not bothering to pay attention to people completely collapsed, and the murderous aura of his dark side suddenly erupted.

Li Ye let go of Wen Watching Wen Leyu's palm and was about to go up and grab Lu Gang's neck to let him understand what education is.

But Wen Watching Wen Leyu's palm didn't let go, instead holding Li Ye tightly.

Then Wen Watching Wen Leyu stepped forward, stared at Lu Gang, and asked coldly: "Who did you say is uneducated? Say it again!"

"."

Li Ye suddenly realized that he had underestimated Wen Watching Wen Leyu.

At this moment, the pressure field emanating from Wen Watching Wen Leyu was so strong that people didn't dare to look at her.

Li Ye's fists were hard enough, and he was fearless against thirteen people.

But Wen Watching Wen Leyu had a coldness in her bones that despised her opponents.

Lu Gang couldn't say a word.

He felt that if he really argued and said it again, something terrible might happen.

At this time, the poet caught his breath and said to Li Ye: "Student Li Ye, right? I am xx. I originally rushed over today to listen to your debate about love, but I was late because of something..."

"After I heard from Student Lu Gang about the debate scene, I was very dissatisfied with your thoughts. How can you kidnap great love with narrow, old-fashioned thoughts?"

"Haven't we suffered enough feudal oppression for thousands of years? Aren't there enough old-fashioned shackles tied to our souls?"

"Your remarks about tying love to marriage are a blasphemy against great love. Why use worldly rules to tie up intangible and formless emotions..."

"."

I damn well believe your evil.

A netizen in later generations once said a very sarcastic remark—actually, I admire a certain poet's wife, because she allowed her husband to bring his lover home and applaud in person...

So who are you playing hooligan with?

It's fine if you use these words to fool the pure and good boys and girls of the 1980s, but you want to talk about love with someone like me who has seen countless scumbags and tea-bitches and knows your background?

Just talking about poetry, Li Ye has to admit that some poets may be gods that mortals need to look up to for a lifetime.

Reading their works, you can truly feel the power and beauty of words.

But if it's a real person preaching face-to-face... Li Ye really doesn't care about them.

Everyone minds their own business. It's your ability if you can win a girl's infatuation. I won't interfere with your good deeds. After all, this era is the highlight of your life, and I can't always look at you with the eyes of later generations.

But don't come and provoke me; if you provoke me, I'll spit on you.

But Li Ye thought immediately, he seemed to have interfered with their good deeds.

If Li Ye's series of remarks at the debate today spread widely, I don't know how many people's good deeds would be ruined.

Of course, it might also save some people.

Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda; Li Ye will never regret his remarks today.
