Chapter 145 Li Rong’s Scandal
Li Rong stopped and waited for her, looking left and right but not daring to look at her. His heart beat faster and his ears felt hot.
He felt that he was a bit disappointing. He was just a little pretty, so there was no need to panic. After all, he was just a human-shaped mixture of amino acids, fat and water, no different from other people.
But he quickly refuted himself. The same element of carbon, with different arrangements and combinations, can become ordinary carbon and diamond, with vastly different values.
So, people are really different.
Luo Xinxin, this human-shaped hybrid, is much more beautiful than other hybrids.
"What did you bring?"
Afraid of being noticed, Li Rong deliberately asked in a casual tone, hoping to take the opportunity to divert attention.
"Beef patties, big meat buns, and a can of pork floss. Keep it for yourself."
Luo Xinxin was well prepared. Although they were partners, she had to act realistically, so she prepared meat floss for Li Rong.
"Did you make the meat floss?"
Li Rong's tone was a little expectant.
"Of course not. I don't have the time for that."
Luo Xinxin told the truth that there are many goods in the mall now, and she buys them all ready-made.
"You won't do it?"
Li Rong blurted out, with the corners of his mouth drooping a little.
"Even if I can do it, I won't do it. Why waste time on something troublesome when there are ready-made ones?"
Luo Xinxin curled her lips. She had to cook only because she had to eat three meals a day. Forget about the other things. If she could buy it, she would buy it. If she couldn’t buy it, she wouldn’t eat it. Anyway, eating it wouldn’t make her live longer, and not eating it wouldn’t shorten her life either.
Li Rong's mouth twitched. He felt that this woman was a troublemaker who was plotting against him, but he had no evidence.
They met many people along the way, and they all greeted Li Rong. They looked at Luo Xinxin with particularly warm eyes and almost asked directly.
"My girlfriend Luo Xinxin."
Li Rong introduced it generously, with the corners of his mouth raised again, with a hint of pride.
He felt particularly proud because of these people's shocked and envious expressions.
I met so many people on the way that an hour had passed when I arrived at the family building. It was a three-story building with many children playing downstairs and six or seven women sitting and chatting, with work in their hands.
Knitting sweaters, sewing clothes, mending shoe soles, picking vegetables... her hands are always busy, and she chats while working without delaying either.
"After we get married, you can come and join the army and live here. I will ask for another room then." Li Rong said in a low voice.
"Which floor are you on?"
Luo Xinxin looked up at the family building. It was a very old building that was basically no longer visible in later generations.
"Third floor."
They had already arrived downstairs, and several military wives who were chatting there greeted them warmly.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Li, is this girl your girlfriend? She's so pretty!"
Several women looked at Luo Xinxin with bright eyes. Standing side by side with Li Rong, they looked like a perfect match, like a golden boy and a jade girl.
"Yes, my girlfriend Luo Xinxin."
Li Rong introduced everything again, and Luo Xinxin forced a smile, laughing all the way until her cheeks were sore from laughing.
When they went upstairs, the whispers of several military wives also floated up.
"No wonder Deputy Battalion Commander Li doesn't want Han Lili. Miss Luo is much prettier than Han Lili."
"Like a fairy, the one they sing about in operas, what's it called? A talented scholar and a beautiful woman."
"They are both so handsome, their future babies will be so beautiful!"
…
Several military wives were very forward-thinking and were already worrying about having children for them. Both of them had sharp ears and heard everything.
"You have a rumored boyfriend? I won't steal your love, will I?"
Luo Xinxin asked curiously, she didn't want to be the vicious female supporting role.
"What is a scandal target?"
Li Rong humbly sought advice. He learned a lot of new words from this woman sixty years later, such as "manipulating character setting", which was quite interesting.
"A scandal is a romantic affair. If you and Han Lili are dating, we have to break up. I won't do such a wicked thing."
Luo Xinxin's tone was very serious.
"I don't even know who Han Lili is. I'm not a casual person."
Li Rong felt confused. He didn't even know who Han Lili was. Why did those people want to ruin his reputation?
No, he can't swallow this!
"Wait for me!"
Li Rong gave her the room key and went downstairs.
Not long after, he appeared downstairs, and the military wives immediately changed the subject smoothly.
"Who is Han Lili?"
Li Rong asked very sincerely, he really didn't know Han Lili.
The expressions of several military wives were extremely embarrassed. They must have been overheard when they were gossiping just now. Deputy Battalion Commander Li came to settle the score with them.
"We also heard it from other people. Sorry, we won't say it again in the future."
Several military wives took the initiative to apologize.
"I don't know Han Lili. Those people are spreading rumors."
Li Rong's expression became even more serious. Could it be that this rumor has spread throughout the entire military region?
"Yes, yes, you don't know Han Lili. We were wrong."
Several military wives followed his advice and didn't want to cause any trouble.
"Don't say that anymore."
Li Rong gave a reminder and went upstairs. He turned around and asked Zhou Xiaohong what was going on. Why did Han Lili appear for no reason?
"Xiao Li is so cruel! Han Lili has clearly approached him several times, and he even spoke to her, yet he claims he doesn't know her."
"Stop talking, it's not good for others to hear."
"It's okay, we're talking so quietly, no one can hear us!"
Several military wives were almost close to their ears, and the voices were so low that only they could hear them.
But they forgot that Li Rong had dog ears, and he didn't go far. When he saw these women putting their ears close to theirs, he knew they must be talking about Han Lili, so he came back and stood behind them to listen openly.
"Who is Han Lili?"
Li Rong suddenly spoke, and several military wives were so scared that they almost fell off their stools. When they turned around and saw that it was him, they wanted to scold him, but they felt guilty and had to swallow their anger.
"Han Lili from the art troupe gave you gifts several times, but you refused them and even made her cry."
One of the military wives couldn't help but speak out.
Li Rong finally remembered that it was a very annoying woman who always came to him to bring him food and said some incomprehensible words. She also had a problem with her brain. He asked this woman not to come, but she didn't understand at all and continued to do as she pleased.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and cursed a few times. The woman looked at him as if she had suffered a great injustice, and ran away crying. She was really sick!
"Of course I can't accept something for no reason. I don't even know her, so how would I know if she's poisoned?"
Li Rong explained unhappily and went back to the third floor.
Several military wives looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected Li Rong to say such heartless words. Even if he did not like the girl, there was no need to say such words, right?
"You don't know, right? Deputy Battalion Commander Li used to be from the Shanghai Military Region. He came to our side because he offended his superiors because he couldn't speak well."
"With such a vicious mouth, no wonder the leader can't stand it!"
"His partner seems to be a soft-hearted person. She will definitely be bullied to death after they get married."
Several military wives felt very sympathetic towards Luo Xinxin's future life. Only a deaf person could tolerate Li Rong's sharp words.
