Can Wang Shouren refute this?
That's obviously not an option.
Don't let this girl's innocent, love-struck appearance fool you; she's actually Lou Bancheng's daughter.
This is Lou Bancheng in Kyoto, a place of extremely high quality. If she says it's not quite there, then it's not quite there.
"You're not even taking any sauce with you."
"I still have some at home, and I packed it up, but the taste is different. The taste at home is better."
Lou Xiao'e's home generally refers not to the courtyard house, but to her parents' home.
Wang Shouren chuckled and didn't ask any more questions, continuing to eat his roast duck.
Seeing his starving look, Lou Xiao'e said with dissatisfaction, "How can you be so boring? Shouldn't you be asking me why I'm not going home?"
"Hey, it's nothing much. My parents aren't home, and I didn't want to stay in the big house where there's no human presence, so I came back."
"It's just a small matter, just a small matter. Tell me, what would be considered a big deal!" Lou Xiao'e said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
Wang Shouren stuffed the pancake into his mouth, took a sip of baijiu, and was about to continue eating when Lou Xiao'e grabbed his hand. He said somewhat helplessly, "Important matters? Does studying for the rise of China count?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment. She never expected to hear such words from this boy. Then she realized that the boy was bragging and scoffed, "Then tell me, what does it mean to study for the rise of China?"
When Wang Shouren was asked this question, one image after another flashed through his mind.
The Galaxy incident, the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia incident, the mid-air collision incident, and so on. Each and every one of these events is a disgrace.
"You don't know, do you? I knew you were bragging."
"No, I'm just sorting out my thoughts on how to answer your question," Wang Shouren smiled slightly.
Ever since he transmigrated, he had been pondering whether the world could be changed. Now, he was certain of one thing: the world truly can be changed. He, like a butterfly stirring up change in many people, had influenced a host of individuals, including Qin Huairu, the old man, and even Lou Xiao'e, all of whom had become different.
So he wondered if he had the ability to accelerate development.
"Then tell me."
"I can't explain it," Wang Shouren shook his head.
"Then you're just bragging." Lou Xiao'e frowned, not very satisfied with the answer.
"Studying for the rise of China is an ideal, but my current knowledge is too narrow. I need to learn more and understand more knowledge so that I can contribute to the country." Wang Shouren knew this, but he couldn't very well say, "Hey, I have a whole set of concepts and strategies for the future of China's manufacturing and industrialization."
If he said something like that, he probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.
But he was serious. Ever since he transmigrated, he had had a crazy idea.
Given a second chance at life, which rabbit doesn't dream of becoming a great power?
He couldn't make any decisions, but accelerating the industrialization process and avoiding the traps set by those guys in the West shouldn't be a problem.
"Phew, you're right." Lou Xiao'e nodded. In this era, most scholars had such a dream. Looking at this energetic guy, and thinking about herself, she picked up her wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, picked up a piece of braised meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and complained as she ate, "Your snacks are terrible."
Lou Xiao'e, a wealthy young lady, rarely saw such an attitude.
All I can say is that in her eyes, Wang Shouren was a guy whose secrets she knew, so she could be a bit more unrestrained.
Wang Shouren smiled, picked up a piece, and put it in his mouth as well: "This stuff is best enjoyed with wine."
"I'm drinking now, here's a glass." Lou Xiao'e raised the wine glass in her hand, her face slightly flushed.
"I haven't finished yet. If you don't have a good heart, then nothing you eat will be good."
"Ha, you little brat, what do you know?"
“I don’t understand, but the people in the compound do.”
"What they've all been saying..." Lou Xiao'e paused for a moment, "Well, it's true, they haven't had a child in so many years, it would be strange if they didn't gossip. Come on! Let's drink!"
The word "drinking" added a touch of boldness to this usually refined young lady, but within that boldness lay a hint of melancholy.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Lou Xiao'e rarely attended drinking parties for two, and she also rarely knew that a conversation between two people could go on from one end of the country to the other. This eased her depressed mood a bit, and after hearing a joke told by Wang Shouren, she burst out laughing.
"Could it be that this is how you hooked up with Qin Huairu?"
Wang Shouren's face darkened: "Sister E, can we not talk about this?"
Whether the girl was drunk or not, she raised an eyebrow at Wang Shouren and said, "Tell me, how exactly did you two get together? I absolutely won't tell. I've noticed you two usually keep your distance. If other people knew, they'd be shocked."
"Alright, alright, Sister E, you're drunk, you should go home." Wang Shouren began to urge the guest away.
Wang Shouren hadn't expected to drink with Lou Xiao'e on New Year's Eve, but it was still a good thing.
"Hey, hey, don't push me! You don't even like a beautiful woman like me? Don't you want something to happen?" Lou Xiao'e exclaimed as Wang Shouren pulled her up from the chair. Strangely enough, she didn't even know how Wang Shouren pulled her up; it was as if she wanted to stand up on her own.
"Don't tease me, I'm telling you it's love."
"No, that's not love. When you look at her, all you see is desire."
"Alright, whatever you say goes. I see desire in your eyes too, so how about it?" Wang Shouren had a bit of a headache. This girl, why did she become so unrestrained after drinking?
Lou Xiao'e turned around, and Wang Shouren withdrew his hand from hers at the opportune moment. She stared into Wang Shouren's eyes and after a long while said, "Tell me, is the child really that important?"
Wang Shouren: ...
Good heavens, what is all this nonsense? This girl is always acting on a whim.
Wang Shouren rubbed his throbbing temples: "Sister E, you graduated from high school, so you should know that having children is not just a woman's problem."
"Yes, it's not just a woman's problem, but what's the point? I mean, what's the point of getting checked out? Given the current situation, forget it, why am I telling you all this? I'm leaving now, Happy New Year!" Lou Xiao'e turned around, waved, and left Wang Shouren's room.
Wang Shouren scratched his chin, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this really love-struck thinking?"
