Chapter 460 Chapter 460 It's Her Problem
After breakfast, Li Meng went out to work.
Because Li Zixiao had no change of clothes, he could only stay at Li Meng's house temporarily and could not go anywhere.
After leaving home, Li Meng's mind was full of what happened last night. She couldn't understand why she was so impulsive last night! The relationship between her and Li Zixiao shouldn't have turned out like this.
Between them...
She and he...actually, it would be more appropriate for them to be ordinary friends, rather than like they are now.
Li Meng sat in the car for a long time, her mind full of messy things.
Only after her emotions gradually calmed down did she take a deep breath, start the car and leave.
After get off work, she must give Li Zixiao an explanation.
In order to keep herself busy, Li Meng went to several construction sites throughout the day and never let herself be idle. Even at lunch time, she ate a boxed lunch with several workers at the construction site.
After finally making it to five in the afternoon, she thought that Li Zixiao was still waiting for her at home, so she didn't go any further. She asked Li Zixiao for his home address, then took the car to get him some clean clothes.
When Li Meng returned to her home, it was almost seven o'clock. The last ray of afterglow in the sky gradually disappeared on the horizon, but the sky was not completely dark yet. The whole city was shrouded in a hazy and dim color.
As soon as Li Meng walked into the house, she was pestered by Li Zixiao.
He said nothing, but just held Li Meng gently. He looked so pitiful, like an abandoned stray dog, waiting for his owner to feed him.
Li Meng reached out and touched his resolute face, sighing helplessly in her heart.
She suddenly regretted why she couldn't hold back last night and insisted on rolling with him!
"Be good! Go change your clothes now, and I'll take you to eat something delicious."
She had originally agreed to go back to Shen Qinghuan's place for dinner in the evening, but in this situation, she really couldn't bear to leave him alone, as it would seem cruel of her.
Li Zixiao lowered his head, gently kissed her forehead, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Mengmeng, what is our relationship now?"
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, and a sudden bitterness welled up in her heart. How could a man like him ask her so humbly what their relationship was!
She collected her thoughts and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Why are you asking this?"
Li Zixiao said: "I want to take responsibility for my actions last night."
Li Meng knew what he was thinking, but she was not suitable for him and they could not be together. If his parents knew about her past, they would never agree to Li Zixiao being with her.
Rather than being so painful, it’s better not to start.
After a moment of silence, Li Meng half-closed her eyes and smiled, saying softly, "Actually, we're all adults, and this is all our own choice. There's no need for us to be responsible!"
Li Zixiao's heart skipped a beat, and his expression visibly turned ugly. But even so, he still mustered up the courage to continue asking, "You, you don't like me?"
Don't like it?
How many people wouldn’t like such a wonderful person like him!
But.
Why does she like him?
She has nothing! She has long lost even the ability to like someone.
Li Meng thought for a moment, then looked up into the man's eyes. "Li Zixiao, I'm sorry! I..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Zixiao had already lowered his head and kissed her lips. Unable to suppress the emotions in his heart, he gently bit and sucked, wishing he could rub her into his flesh and blood, so that she would have no way to escape from him.
Li Meng was kissed until she was almost out of breath, and then Li Zixiao reluctantly let her go. "You haven't let me down. If I can't make you like me, it must be my fault. I didn't try hard enough."
"No! It's me!"
Li Meng admitted without hesitation that she had long lost the ability to love someone.
Li Zixiao was a good man, and she had feelings for him, but how could someone like her love him? She had nothing, and the only thing left in her heart had long been shattered.
But he is different. He is still so young and so outstanding. He can find a girl who is a hundred times or a thousand times better than her instead of staying by her side all the time.
What Li Meng fears more is that once the secret in her heart is exposed, will Li Zixiao still like her?
She didn't dare to gamble.
"Li Zixiao, this is my problem. It has nothing to do with you. You're fine. If..."
Li Mengxiang said that if she could have met him earlier, perhaps everything would have been different, and she would have been able to be with him with peace of mind at that time.
But she changed her mind and realized that this problem could not be explained immediately, and it was not the right time.
"Can we not talk about this for now and go out for dinner, okay? I'm a little hungry."
Li Zixiao hummed softly, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He always felt that the woman in front of him was like a lonely cloud in the sky. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach out and grab it.
While Li Zixiao was changing clothes, Li Meng picked up her phone and called Shen Qinghuan to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight...
"Give me a reason! A reason that convinces me."
On the other end of the phone, Shen Qinghuan snorted in annoyance. This woman really values love over friendship!
Li Meng curled her lips helplessly and said, "Isn't there anything I can do?"
Shen Qinghuan seemed to smell the scent of gossip, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips as she said, "I see. Last night...did you two do everything that should and shouldn't have happened?"
"What do you mean by something that should happen and shouldn't happen? Huanhuan, he and I are both adults, and we're both single. Nothing should happen."
"Okay! Okay! I said the wrong thing. I think I know why you didn't come back for dinner. Go and do your thing. Remember to tell the truth when you come back in the evening. Don't be so secretive."
Li Meng held her forehead with her hand, feeling more and more that she was being obsessed with lust.
Let me ask you, if a man with six-pack abs, handsome and sunny looks, and he takes the initiative to throw himself into your arms under such circumstances, can you control yourself?
Anyway, she couldn't control herself at all, so things got out of control.

Li Meng took Li Zixiao to a hot pot restaurant that she used to go to with Shen Qinghuan.
As usual, she chose a seat by the window and handed the menu to Li Zixiao, "Take a look at what you want to eat!"
Li Zixiao raised his head and looked at her with a longing look.
Li Meng lowered her eyes, somewhat unable to withstand his burning gaze, but her hands did not slow down at all. She handed the menu to Li Zixiao and said in a feigned annoyance, "Don't look at me! There's no food on my face."
Li Zixiao curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, the smile almost overflowing from his eyes.
Soon, they ordered their meals.
Li Meng is not a talkative person, and Li Zixiao is not a talkative person either. They are silent to each other, occasionally looking up at each other, then looking away and lowering their eyelids.
As time went by, more and more people came to dine here.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Li Meng and Li Zixiao left the hot pot restaurant.
Li Meng suggested sending Li Zixiao back, but Li Zixiao wanted to go for a walk nearby with her. Li Meng could not refuse such a request, so she had to agree reluctantly.
The man next to her naturally took her hand. Li Meng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but he held her hand even tighter.
Li Meng glared at him unhappily.
Li Zixiao seemed not to notice her gaze and continued to hold her hand. "If you feel that our current relationship makes you feel insecure, then you can tell me what I should do to eliminate your anxiety."
He suddenly stopped and looked down at her.
Li Meng was stunned.
A slight surprise flashed in her eyes. How could he know everything? However, her insecurity in marriage was not his problem, but her own.
After a moment of silence, Li Meng opened her mouth slightly and whispered, "Actually, you don't have to do anything. You just have to be yourself. Li Zixiao, do you know that if you just stand there and do nothing, there will be good girls who like you. Why do you..."
I fell in love with her!
"Are you trying to ask me why I fell in love with you?" Li Zixiao raised his hand and gently stroked her eyebrows with his slightly calloused fingertips.
He suddenly smiled, but asked seriously, "Li Meng, do you believe in love at first sight?"
