Chapter 332: At a loss
Wen Wan asked her, "What are your plans for an internship during the summer vacation?"
Li Laiyu was silent for a moment: "I have no plans. I don't really have any requirements for work. It doesn't matter if I work or not, as long as it doesn't affect my graduation."
After all, I have been admitted to university. It would be a pity if I couldn’t even get a diploma.
Wen Wan said, "Holiday internships should be somewhat related to graduation. I'll ask about that later. If you just want to get your diploma and don't want to work, then maybe you don't necessarily have to do an internship?"
Li Laiyu sighed: "Wanwan, do you mean that we have to go to work after graduation?"
Wen Wan was slightly stunned and looked up at her: "You mean you don't plan to work after graduation?"
Li Laiyu nodded slowly. "Am I being unmotivated and having very decadent thoughts? But I can't help it. That's just who I am. I like freedom and don't want to be bound by anything. The reason I wanted to apply to university was simply because I wanted to leave my hometown and live a quiet and free life the way I wanted. I didn't really have any lofty aspirations."
Let her do something diligently, unless it is something she particularly likes and wants to do very much. If she doesn't like it, she won't be willing to do it, and she won't be able to do it well.
God knows how she was admitted to the Economics Department. She felt a headache just reading all those theories and analyses, but she had to bite the bullet and complete them.
Fortunately, it will only take more than three years but less than four years to endure, so there is still hope.
But if she were to continue doing those things after graduation, her life would become bleak again just thinking about it.
Wen Wan didn't know she actually had such thoughts: "That's for after graduation. It's still too early for us to graduate now!"
What will I do after graduation? I still have two years to plan.
As they were talking, Zhou Mingli and Lu Donglin, who had been strolling outside, came back.
The room suddenly became lively and even seemed a little crowded.
Li Lai Yu had never met Zhou Mingli and Lu Donglin before, but he took a look at them. Although he didn't take the initiative to say hello, he didn't look embarrassed at all.
Wen Wan introduced them: "This is my classmate, Li Laiyu."
Then he told Li Laiyu, "This is Chun'e's boyfriend, Zhou Mingli. This is Dongping's younger brother, Lu Donglin."
Li Laiyu has always been indifferent to people he is not familiar with. He doesn't even say a word, but just nods as a greeting.
Zhou Mingli didn't care. He was not a very enthusiastic person. He talked a lot with Xu Qingming and Wen Wan because they grew up together. He talked a lot with Lu Chun'e because he liked her. He talked to Lu Donglin because he had to talk to him since he was his brother-in-law.
He is not familiar with Zhang Lai Yu and Li Lai Yu, so it doesn't matter whether they talk to each other or not.
Lu Donglin, on the other hand, looked at Li Laiyu silently for several times. He didn't like this lesbian very much. A lesbian with a face as stern as a big ice cube was disgusting to look at.
He is his sister-in-law's classmate, a college student. How rude of him! Did he waste his time studying?
Li Lai Yu noticed him, glanced at him and then left, sitting there quietly, indescribably dignified and elegant, but as if immersed in his own world, silent and silent.
There were so many people around that Wen Wan didn't notice her.
Zhou Mingli's stroll with Lu Donglin wasn't in vain; he came back with quite a few things. There were vegetables, and some things for Lu Donglin. These days, finding a partner isn't easy. You have to flatter your brother-in-law, coax your younger brothers-in-law, and pamper your partner.
Xu Qingming came out and said hello before continuing to work in the kitchen. Zhou Mingli naturally felt embarrassed to be idle, so he took off his coat, put on the sweater underneath, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the kitchen as well.
Two of the three men went to the kitchen, and Lu Donglin followed them not to be outdone.
The three men filled the kitchen, so Wen Wan didn't get involved.
He smiled and said to Lu Chun'e: "Today we have saved ourselves the trouble and enjoyed a feast. Let's just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Let them fight on the battlefield and let them perform well."
Lu Chun'e nodded and agreed with it.
Except for Lu Donglin, none of the three had ever cooked. Xu Qingming and Zhou Mingli were both good cooks.
After killing a chicken, I cut it in half, roasted the chicken pieces, and used the remaining chicken bones to make a pot of soup.
Add to that the various sausages and bacon pickled before the New Year, and the table was filled up, making it a very sumptuous meal.
The chair was put together by Lu Donglin. It was originally intended to be sat on casually, but after sitting down, the position became a little awkward.
To Wen Wan's left was Li Laiyu, to her right was Lu Chun'e, to Chun'e's right was Zhou Mingli, and to Zhou Mingli's other side was Lu Donglin, so Xu Qingming and Li Laiyu sat together as a matter of course.
Lu Dongping wasn't at home, so Wen Wan had to greet everyone. She asked Xu Qingming, "It's rare for us to get together. Would you like to have a couple of drinks?"
Xu Qingming nodded: "Have a couple of drinks. It's New Year's, we have to show our appreciation." Lu Dongping was not at home, so Zhou Mingli sent Lu Chun'e over. He was half the host, so he had to be more conscious and help Wen Wan entertain them.
After all, we went our separate ways on the 30th and the 1st of the New Year and didn’t have time to have a meal together, so today can be considered a reunion.
Wen Wan went into the house and took out the wine. She then found a set of white porcelain cups and placed them in front of them, filling them with wine.
He raised his glass first: "Come on, there are no elders here today, it's just us, brothers and sisters, childhood friends, let's clink glasses and wish everyone a new year with a new look, success in studies, career, and love!" He drew out the last sentence slightly, and smiled at Xu Qingming.
She took the lead and everyone stood up and touched it, even Li Lai Yu was no exception.
Lu Chun'e looked at the wine in the glass and felt a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, I have never tasted it before, and I am a little afraid to drink it."
Wen Wan said, "Just for the sake of your intention. If you don't like it, you don't have to drink it." After that, she turned to look at Li Laiyu and said, "Laiyu, are you okay with it? If you can, drink a little. If not, don't force yourself."
Li Laiyu did not refuse and nodded: "Okay."
She was a heavy drinker in her previous life, but she hasn't had a single drink since coming here.
So at this moment she overestimated herself a little.
After drinking a glass of wine, the spicy taste made her feel somewhat familiar.
But the hot air that rushed out from the spicy taste quickly rushed to the head.
She really didn't expect that, although she couldn't drink a thousand cups without getting drunk in her previous life, she still had some alcohol tolerance and few people could drink as much as her. But in this life, perhaps because she hadn't seen alcohol for a long time, she actually became drunk after just one glass.
A blush instantly appeared on his face. Before Wen Wan could react, Xu Qingming stood up and asked Wen Wan, "Do you have any tea? I'll make her some."
Wen Wan was happy to give him the opportunity to show her affection. She found some tea leaves and Xu Qingming made a cup of strong tea for Li Laiyu: "Wait until it's a little cooler. Drink a few glasses of water to dilute the alcohol in your stomach and it will feel less uncomfortable."
Li Laiyu nodded: "Thank you!" But he didn't dare to raise his glass again.
Lu Chun'e didn't dare to drink it, so she just took a sip and ate her food quietly.
Wen Wan didn't drink much, and with just Xu Qingming, Zhou Mingli, and Lu Donglin who came to join in the fun, the atmosphere was pretty good.
Wen Wan put some food into Li Laiyu's bowl and said, "Even if you don't drink, you still have to eat. My seventh brother is a good cook, especially the soup. He has inherited my third uncle's true teachings and makes it very well."
Lu Chun'e raised her eyes, her gaze lingered between Li Laiyu and Xu Qingming, then she lowered her head with understanding and continued eating.
After a glass of wine, Li Laiyu felt dizzy and a little out of control. She basically stopped talking. Wen Wan picked up some food for her, and Xu Qingming also joined in the fun. She didn't refuse. She ate whatever was given to her and looked very well-behaved.
Xu Qingming looked at her from time to time, his gaze falling on her completely uncontrollably, causing Zhou Mingli to look at him several times.
He didn't know that Xu Qingming actually liked this kind of masochism?
After dinner, Lu Donglin took care of the dishes. Wen Wan asked Li Laiyu, "Do you want to go lie down in the room for a while?"
Li Lai Yu shook her head: "No, I'll drink some more water, I'm feeling much better now." In fact, she was already much better, mainly because she got drunk so suddenly that she was caught off guard. Then she got rid of the smell of alcohol, and now there is no problem at all.
Wen Wan took a blanket and let her lean on the sofa. Xu Qingming went to refill her cup with hot water and asked her to hold it to warm her hands.
Li Lai Yu had never been taken care of like this before, and he felt a little at a loss.
She looked at Wen Wan, who was talking to Lu Chun'e, speaking softly, smiling, and very gentle.
She felt that Wen Wan was the way a normal girl should be, while she looked like a monster that had crawled out of a stinking ditch. She was born with bad luck, and anyone who touched her would die.
She turned to look at Xu Qingming again, but unexpectedly Xu Qingming was also looking at her, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
Compared to Xu Qingming's slight embarrassment, her eyes were completely open and honest.
She tilted her head slightly towards Xu Qingming and asked softly, "What do you like about me?"
Xu Qingming, an old man in his twenties, felt his face flushed with anger at her sudden and blunt question.
He coughed lightly and glanced around. No one in the room was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said, "Of course, liking someone means liking all of her, liking her strengths and tolerating her weaknesses. And I like you, regardless of your strengths or weaknesses."
Li Laiyu looked at him with a look that was hard to describe. He looked good, but his brain seemed a little off. He usually spoke with reason and logic, but now his words were completely off-key.
It sounds good, but who believes it?
She laughed softly, closed her eyes and leaned there without saying a word.
Xu Qingming sighed, he felt so difficult.
Li Laiyu looked at him with such open eyes, as if there was nothing in them. He didn't know whether this one-sided feeling could have any result or how far it could go.
What a bastard!
His mind was wandering, and he didn't come back to his senses until Wen Wan called him twice. "Seventh Brother, even if you didn't come to my place today, I would have to find you. I've already finished the spring clothes for the department store. Before, they came to pick them up themselves, but this time I plan to deliver them to them and then discuss the termination of the cooperation."
"I've thought about this matter. I can't go alone, so I have to bring you along." After all, it was Xu Qingming who had been worrying about her since the beginning when drafting the agreement.
Xu Qingming was a little surprised when he decided not to do it. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
