Chapter 128 Relationship

"Girl? Girl Su?" Old man Li put down his bowl and chopsticks and picked the rice grains from his beard. "Why aren't you eating? You're just looking at your hands and grinning like an idiot?"
"No." Su Luo quickly picked up the bowl in front of him, glanced around the table, and said casually: "Well... where is he? Why doesn't he come to eat?"
"Volkswagen is at the beauty salon." BMW quickly finished his meal, "I'll take his place back to eat."
"No..." Su Luo used chopsticks to pick up rice grains, "I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about..."
"You mean Xiao Yongzi?" Tang Jiao, who rarely ate with the beauty girls, smiled and said, "He came back last night in a bad mood, saying that we shouldn't change the monk lamp, but he didn't explain what was going on. He didn't come out for breakfast, and I guess he'll skip lunch."
Su Luo felt a little guilty, but she firmly believed that she was chosen to go on stage because of her gender, not because she happened to be holding the sea breeze lantern.
"It's not like he's...that Li...why isn't he coming out? Is he still asleep?"
"You mean Lord Li?" Baozi asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly concerned about Lord Li?"
"Who...cares about him." Su Luo quickly lowered his head to eat.
Tang Jiao winked at Su Luo and said, "Of course I'm not concerned. The boss and Mr. Li were so awkward on the stage yesterday, how could I care?"
Su Luo nearly choked to death. There were several beauty girls attending the Magpie Bridge Party. Of course, they were in the audience last night and couldn't help but talk about it when they came back. Tang Jiao was their head coach, so it was not surprising for her to know about it.
Fortunately, everyone else looked confused, so Su Luo quickly looked up and changed the subject, "I'm afraid he'll starve to death in our house and get into trouble with the law."
I have to say, this excuse is terrible. Su Luo also thinks it is not well made. But where did Li Rusong go? They strolled on the street until almost dawn before returning. Su Luo woke up just in time for lunch. Could Li Rusong be even more sleepy than her?
"Master Li went out early in the morning." Old Li finally finished picking the rice grains and stood up. "I'm going to the bookstore."
"Wait, wait, wait..." Su Luo waved at him, motioning him to sit down, "Let's discuss this. You should take a couple of days off. The day before yesterday, the bookstore came to me and told me that you didn't help, but only made things more chaotic. You were dissatisfied with everything, and they couldn't do their work at all."
"Did they really say that?" Old Li twirled his beard, looking introspective. "I was indeed a little too strict."
"That's right. People can just carve according to your manuscript. You don't have to explain the pharmacology and efficacy to them. If all the woodblock carvers change their careers to become doctors in the future, then won't Nanjing's publishing industry be in decline? Can you bear this responsibility?"
Su Luo's words were sonorous. Old Li twisted his beard expressionlessly for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said, "That makes sense. Then I'll go ask who among them really wants to be a doctor and who wants to continue carving. I'll only explain to those who want to be doctors. That's good!"
Su Luo watched Old Li go out in silence. Facing such an old man who was committed to the development of medicine, she really had nothing to say. Let him go. At most he would receive a few more complaints. Who knows, he might really be able to dig out a few future pillars of the medical field from the woodblock printing industry.
Pulling his thoughts back to his senses, Su Luo looked at the other people at the table, "Where is Li Rusong?" He went out so early, did he not sleep at all?
Everyone shook their heads. Tang Jiao smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me what happened between you and Lord Li after you stepped down from the stage yesterday? Were you tied up all the time..."
"How... is it possible." Su Luo almost lowered his head to the bowl, "Of course we are... are..."
"How could he have been tied up all this time? He was only tied up until this morning." Li Rusong walked in leisurely from outside the door, walked to Su Luo and sat down, "Did you sleep well?"
Su Luo's face was almost ripe, but her eyes were sparkling. Her voice couldn't be any softer, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Her words were an indirect response to Li Rusong's words, and there were some words that could be easily misunderstood. Bao Zixing, who was about to take on the job of his stepfather, immediately became alert and came over to ask nervously, "What...sleep ?"
Li Rusong smiled as he looked at Su Luo's embarrassment, then turned around and explained to Bao Zixing that the two of us went shopping yesterday until this morning, and I was worried that she didn't get enough sleep, so I showed my concern. This does not mean the same thing as the word "sleep" in your mind.
Bao Zixing returned to his seat in embarrassment, laughed dryly for a long time, and suddenly grasped the main point, "Yesterday was Chinese Valentine's Day, did you guys walk around the streets all night?"
The classmates who were having dinner together all stared at Su Luo and Li Rusong with ambiguous and surprised looks. Although Su Luo's face turned red, she still looked at Li Rusong. Even if he looked a little uncomfortable, she had to stand up and cover him.
According to Su Luo's thoughts, a child with Li Rusong's personality is actually autistic to some extent. Although they held hands and crossed paths yesterday, and she had given all the hints, Li Rusong still did not give a direct answer. This means that he still has concerns in his heart and is not ready to start with her. So as a mature woman, she must give him a little time. Of course, things like this should be left to nature. Like now...forcing him? It's easy to force questions!
"Not even one night..."
"Well, it really wasn't a night. It was still dark when we came back." Li Rusong finished speaking lightly. Just when Su Luo was surprised, he said, "We talked a lot last night. Luo Luo said something very right. When you make a decision, you must bravely take the first step. If you don't try, how can you know it's not good, right?"
His last question was directed to Su Luo. Su Luo had not yet calmed down from her inner surprise. She had always thought that Li Rusong was the type who was depressed and would not easily say it even if he had made a decision. She did not expect... was this his answer to her in public?
"you……"
"What?" Li Rusong looked into Su Luo's eyes, tenderly as never before. "Don't you believe me?"
"No." Su Luo glanced at the teasing eyes around him and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, "I'm a little surprised that you would say it in public."
"Oh——" Although there were no words of announcement in their conversation, others still understood their current relationship, "You two..."
Li Rusong looked at Su Luo with a smile in his eyes, "The red thread of Qixi Festival is really magical, isn't it?"
Although Su Luo felt strange and thought that this was not something Li Rusong would do, she still felt very sweet. She was like this. Once she decided on something, she would never give up easily without trying. For Li Rusong, the feeling she had last night explained everything. Although the two of them often argued with each other, this might be the so-called happy enemies. Well, she liked these four words.
"If you've had enough of the show, leave!" Su Luo waved his hand to drive away a bunch of people who were watching the show. Only Bao Zixing refused to leave. He sat in the middle with a serious face. He was not so polite to Li Rusong. He started to ask about his family background. What did your father, grandfather, and eight generations of ancestors do? Tell me!
Li Rusong started talking about his father, and when he was about to talk about his great-grandfather, Su Luo hurriedly pulled him out. If he continued, Lao Bao might have to leave for Beijing tomorrow to find his mother, and then go to Liaodong to see his future in-laws, and by the way, set a wedding date or something. They hated getting married, and they hated it more than Su Luo!
Walking in the garden, Su Luo kept pursing her lips and laughing. Li Rusong finally stopped and asked with a smile: "Is it so funny?"
Su Luo put his hand into Li Rusong's palm and smiled like a thief, "You looked so stupid just now. Old Bao scared you and you confessed everything."
Li Rusong looked at the little hand in his palm, stunned for a while, then raised his head and chuckled, "How can I not be honest? That's my future father-in-law."
Su Luo blushed and started to shy away. Li Rusong was surprised and asked, "I don't know who was hinting at me yesterday, wanting me to marry her right away. But you're shy today?"
"Who gave you any explicit hints?" Su Luo pinched his palm, "They were all hints. You are so stupid, so of course I had to give you a few more hints."
Li Rusong smiled and nodded, then sighed after a while, "I... am so lucky..."
"It's good to know that I'm lucky." Su Luo shook his hand and strode forward. "By the way, what did you do this morning?"
Li Rusong obviously hesitated for a moment, and Su Luo waved his hand quickly, "If you can't tell me, then don't tell me. I know you came to Nanjing for a mission, right?"
Li Rusong nodded slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little, but Su Luo didn't notice it at all. She pulled him towards his room and said, "Go back and sleep for a while. I have something to ask you when you wake up."
"What's up?"
"Well... Su Jiang's matter." Su Luo hesitated for a moment before speaking out, "I'm not asking you to give me an explanation. I just feel that since we're together now, some things should be spoken out so that they won't become thorns in our hearts."
Li Rusong was obviously distracted again, his eyes full of complicated emotions. Was it for Su Jiang? No, Su Luo felt that it was not, but for something else.
Li Rusong was a mystery. Apart from him, everything about him was hearsay. Being with such a person should be insecure, but Su Luo believed that one day, he would tell her let her become the person he trusted the most.
"We'll talk about these things later." Li Rusong didn't give Su Luo the answer she wanted to hear, but just gave her a comforting smile. Although Su Luo was a little disappointed, she still cheered up and said jokingly: "Don't worry, I'm very generous and won't punish you. You can talk to me whenever you want."
Li Rusong smiled too, and it could be seen that the smile was a little forced. The smile on Su Luo's face was also a little hard to maintain. She pushed him and urged him to go back to bed quickly. Turning around, her nose was already a little sore. It was easy for her to say, but in fact, she cared a lot.
"Lotus."
Su Luo stopped and felt Li Rusong gently hugging her from behind. Su Luo's heart was pounding. The sour smell on the tip of her nose had long disappeared, and her ears were red. "W-what's the matter?"
Li Rusong leaned close to her ear and remained silent for a while, then whispered, "Don't think too much. You are Su Luo, the bravest, most courageous Su Luo..."
"Hmm?" Su Luo's eyes widened. What did this mean? Did he want her to give up pursuing Su Jiang just by saying she was brave? That was a nice thought!
Su Luo was about to turn around and ask for clarification when she saw Zhong Da running over from a distance. Su Luo wanted to be coy and disgust him, but she saw Zhong Da's anxious face, "Madam Boss, go and have a look, someone is ruining the place!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Su Luo broke free from Li Rusong's embrace, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Who is so bold!"
"Yes... it's Miss Qin."
"Qin Qing?" Su Luo glanced at Li Rusong and immediately understood why Qin Qing came. Li Rusong frowned and said, "I'll go talk to her."
"Go back to sleep!" Su Luo pointed in the direction of Li Rusong's room, "Don't meddle in women's affairs!"
"But Qin Qing is so unruly..."
"Of course I have to protect my man!" After Su Luo said this, she immediately showed courage and raised her chin towards the crowd, "Let's go! Let's meet her!"
Li Rusong: “…”
