Chapter 169 Can You Promise Me?
Xie Mengqi looked at Li Jianwei and knew that what he said was right, but in her heart she rejected Li Jianwei's words.
"Does he care about me? He only cares about himself! Jianwei, I see you care about me a lot. I can feel your concern." Xie Mengqi said.
"Of course I care about you, Dahu, Wu Kui, and Sister Wang. Everyone cares about you, and you can feel it too. It's just that sometimes you don't admit it in your heart, and sometimes you deliberately make things difficult for yourself." Li Jianwei smiled.
"Deliberately making things difficult for yourself? Is there anyone like that? I've always wanted to treat myself well, so how could I be so difficult for myself?" Xie Mengqi said with a smile.
"Do you find it strange? You may want to make yourself happy. However, the more you want to be happy, the less happy you are. There is always a subconscious desire to go against what you want to express. If you curb this desire, you are controlling your emotions. If you can't curb it, it will become a disaster." Li Jianwei said as he shifted his gaze to the sky.
Xie Mengqi saw Li Jianwei's eyes move away from her face, so she also looked at the stars and said, "Jianwei, I don't want to listen to your philosophical and profound words. I like simple things. People who like simple things like to watch the stars. You accompany me to watch the stars, and let's listen to the whispers of the stars!"
"Okay, I won't say anything, just listen to the whispers of the stars." Li Jianwei thought to himself that Xie Mengqi was a girl pursuing romance deep down in her heart. Perhaps it was her pure romance that made her pursue love so persistently!
Xie Mengqi looked at the stars and stopped talking, and Li Jianwei didn't say anything either. The two seemed to be able to really hear the whispers of the stars, and their faces were intoxicated.
Wang Xueliu and Que Dongjin were chatting and laughing at home. There was one girl and three boys in the family, so Wang Xueliu was the focus. Jiang Wukui knew she was leaving tomorrow, so he had a lot to say.
"Wu Kui, you are becoming more and more active." Wang Xueliu looked at Jiang Wu Kui and smiled.
"Compared with you, I cannot use the word 'more and more'. This word should be given to you. Sister Wang, you have changed from an ice beauty to a smiling goddess. You are becoming more and more fond of joking." Jiang Wukui said.
"Are you still talking about my time as an instructor? Did you really dislike me back then?" Wang Xueliu smiled sweetly.
"Anyway, I don't like the way you looked at that time. I don't know what the other two of them think. Maybe one of them liked your icy beauty look and had a crush on you at that time." Jiang Wukui said.
"Wukui, has your attitude towards Sister Wang progressed from dislike to 'secret love'? Dongjin, do you think Sister Wang is cuter when she's 'cold', or is she cuter the way she is now?" Zhang Dahu asked Jiang Wukui and then Que Dongjin.
"I don't know, because no matter whether she is 'cold' or 'hot', I have not fallen in love with her." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Dongjin is right. No matter how 'cold' or 'hot' Sister Wang is, I don't have a crush on her." Jiang Wukui said, imitating Que Dongjin's tone.
"So, I'm a woman without a man's love?" Sister Wang said with a deliberate sigh.
"How could that be? There must be a teacher among three people. Among us, there must be someone who loves you. Tell me, if both of them say they don't love you anymore, who will love you?" Zhang Dahu looked at Wang Xueliu with a smile.
"You are good at taking advantage of loopholes? Are you serious?" Wang Xueliu looked at Zhang Dahu with a smile.
"Really. It's absolutely true!" Zhang Dahu laughed.
"I want to test you. Seriously, can you accompany me for a walk now?" Wang Xueliu looked at Zhang Dahu.
"OK!"
"Let's go. Let's go for a walk and leave these two loveless men at home." Wang Xueliu stood up.
Que Dongjin looked at Wang Xueliu and smiled. Wang Xueliu also smiled at him, and they seemed to feel from their smiles that they knew each other's thoughts.
"Do you really want me to accompany you?" Zhang Dahu looked at Wang Xueliu.
"Go ahead and keep Sister Wang company. No matter if you fall in love with her or not, she will leave with me tomorrow," said Que Dongjin.
"Okay. Sister Wang, let's go." Zhang Dahu said and took a step forward.
Wang Xueliu and Zhang Dahu went out. Jiang Wukui closed the door, walked over to Que Dongjin and said, "It's really boring without a woman in the room."
"Are you regretting it? If you had known this would happen, there would be no need to be so stubborn." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"I can't say that I have a crush on her! Besides, I don't know what it feels like to be in love," said Jiang Wukui.
"Love means that when you can't see her, your heart is not with her. Like you are now." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Come on! You talk like a love saint. Humph, haven't you never been in love?" Jiang Wukui said.
"Do I need to confess loudly that I'm in love? Even if I were to confess, I wouldn't confess to you, right?" Que Dongjin said.
"You're right. Maybe you have really been in love with a foreign girl. Tell me, what is a foreign girl like?" Jiang Wukui looked at Que Dongjin with a smile.
"Have you ever eaten Chaotianzi spicy food?" Que Dongjin suddenly asked a irrelevant question.
"I have. It's a kind of spicy food from the south. It's very spicy. When I eat it, I sweat all over my head. It's quite stimulating. But it's really spicy. After eating it, my tongue and throat hurt. Drinking water doesn't help. It even makes me cry." Jiang Wukui was very excited when he talked about it. He likes eating spicy food.
"You can imagine what it feels like to be in love with a foreign girl. It's just like eating Chaotianzi." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"What do you mean? I still don't understand." Jiang Wukui wanted to get more words out.
"Take your time to experience it. Wu Kui, I want to tell you something serious." Que Dongjin looked at Jiang Wu Kui with a serious face.
"Go ahead."
"After I leave, you have to take good care of Xie Mengqi and Li Jianwei. You have to pay more attention to them and pay more attention to Li Jianwei's thoughts. He has been hit hard and has changed a lot. Got it?"
"I understand." Jiang Wukui agreed readily.
"Pay attention to the details and care about them. You can't say this out loud, and don't let them know that I said this to you, do you understand?" Que Dongjin stared at Jiang Wukui.
"I see. But I don't understand why."
"If you don't understand, just pretend to be confused! But, your heart cannot be confused. Slowly experience it, and you will understand. After I leave, Dahu will be in charge, and you have to support him. Be cautious when dealing with him, and pay special attention to safety." Que Dongjin seemed worried again.
"Dongjin, don't worry! We will take good care of ourselves. You should take care of yourself too." Jiang Wukui was a little moved.
Zhang Dahu and Wang Xueliu went out of the door but did not walk towards the river. Wang Xueliu knew that Xie Mengqi and the others went to the river, and she was afraid of being embarrassed if they ran into them, so she walked towards the world at the foot of the mountain.
"Sister Wang, why did you think of inviting me for a walk?"
"Didn't you say you loved me? Taking a walk with the one you love is natural and a kind of enjoyment!" Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
"Sister Wang, you joked with me casually, which just proves that you don't take me seriously." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"You are so smart." Wang Xueliu laughed.
"A person will not be able to talk and laugh freely in front of the person he deeply loves, unless it is another situation," said Zhang Dahu.
"Under what circumstances?"
"They have become husband and wife." said Zhang Dahu.
"You seem to know a lot, kid?" Wang Xueliu stopped when she saw that they had reached the foot of the mountain and there were almost no pedestrians. "Da Hu, you are indeed a rare talent. I had nothing to worry about after I left. However, the environment here is still very bad. After all, it is a Japanese-occupied area. You must careful, understand?"
"Did you ask me out to talk to me about work?" Zhang Dahu looked at Wang Xueliu in the moonlight and felt more gentle.
"Let's take care of both public and private matters! I used to be your instructor." Wang Xueliu smiled.
"Well, go ahead! If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhang Dahu still looked at Wang Xueliu's face and thought to himself, if we were really in love, it would actually be a good thing.
"Da Hu, remember when we took down the Japanese Telecom Office?"
"Of course I remember. It was so cool! I really want to catch another one, like blowing up their arsenal." Zhang Dahu said excitedly.
"You can't act blindly. Without instructions from above, you must not move. What I want to say is that although the Japanese here are arrogant and our situation is not good, we should see that we are not fighting alone, we still have supporters in secret." Wang Xueliu said.
"Are you talking about the Communist Party and the Volunteer Anti-Japanese Guerrillas?" Zhang Dahu looked at Wang Xueliu.
"What do you think?"
"I understand. They helped us secretly the first two times we took action." Zhang Dahu recalled the time when they robbed the corpse, and someone also helped us secretly.
"That's right. This shows that their intelligence work is very effective and they know when we will fight the Japanese devils." Wang Xueliu said.
"I have always wondered about this, why are their sense of smell so sensitive? Our actions are very secretive!" said Zhang Dahu.
"Is Mishima Kawako's 'Operation Praying Mantis' a secret? It must be top secret! Didn't we know about it too?" Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
“We found this out through reconnaissance.”
"Don't they have any scouts?" Wang Xueliu asked with a smile.
"That's right. We owe them a favor and we will have the chance to repay it in the future," said Zhang Dahu.
"This is exactly why I asked you out. Dahu, no matter who they are, I think as long as they are Chinese who are fighting against the Japanese invaders, we should help them. What do you think?" Wang Xueliu was watching the changes in Zhang Dahu's expression.
"Yes. As long as they are Chinese and fight against the Japanese, they are our friends," said Zhang Dahu.
"After we leave, if other anti-Japanese teams need your help, please do your best to help. I don't think I need to ask for your permission. If I do, it will only lead to complications. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Please don't tell other people, including Que Dongjin, okay?" Wang Xueliu said, patting Zhang Dahu on the shoulder. "I believe you can keep your promise. Can you promise me?"
