168 Confusion
Li Wei looked at Luo Da, who seemed to be flirting with Little Red Riding Hood, and felt angry. Could this guy really be a barbarian, or a barbarian in heat?
If I weren't this barbarian's friend, I probably wouldn't have asked for his opinion or gone to such lengths.
Li Wei raised her chin somewhat dejectedly: "Fine, if you don't want to say anything, it's not a good thing anyway. I've decided to go with the flow and pretend to be deaf and dumb. But your behavior makes me feel like you're not a real man. Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned around and opened the door decisively. Her hand was already on the doorknob when she heard a sound. Li Wei forced herself to open the door and went out. Finally, there was a sound from behind, still in a pleading tone: "How about... I kiss you?"
Li Wei staggered. This guy was a barbarian, a pure barbarian!
Seeing that Li Wei was truly determined, Luo Da finally relented: "Alright, I'll tell you."
A cunning barbarian, confirmed.
Li Wei leaned against the door, waiting for him to continue. After a moment's thought, Luo Da said, "It was just that Xiao Hui and I went to find someone, while Xiao Meng kept watch in the car. We beat them up and came back."
After waiting for a while, Li Wei couldn't help but ask, "Is that all? I want to know the details. How did you beat the person? Where did you hit them? What did you say?" But someone had broken a bone and was hospitalized, and they didn't dare to say who did it. It couldn't be that simple.
Luo Da shrugged: "The details are confidential and can't be told to anyone. Let me kiss you to change things up. Actually, think about it, I've already kissed you three times, so what's one more time? After we kiss, no one will notice. If you don't tell and I don't tell, nobody will know."
This is practically kidnapping her like an innocent young girl!
But was she an ignorant girl? At least in Luo Da's opinion, she was.
Li Wei glanced at Luo Da, her eyes darting around. It's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the thief's predilection. The fact that Luo Da remembered this matter the moment he saw her wasn't good. It seemed she needed to talk to him beforehand. She should try to turn hostility into friendship. She couldn't always act so recklessly.
Li Wei cleared her throat: "Ahem. Um... Luo Jianhua, don't you think we're like family?" What Li Wei wanted to say next was, "Actually, I've always thought of you as a younger brother." But she accidentally stumbled upon something cheesy. How many men have said that cliché line, "I think of you as a younger sister," before?
Luo Da nodded: "I've always thought so."
Li Wei felt much more comfortable talking to him. Luo Da was fairly cooperative: "Then tell me, if I were to kiss Xiao Hui or Xiao Lin whenever I had free time, wouldn't you find it strange?" With Xiao Hui... just thinking about it made her shudder. With Xiao Lin... she was completely frozen.
Luo Da frowned: "I'm different from them, aren't I? My surname is Luo, and yours is Li."
Li Wei smiled kindly: "What your surname is isn't the issue; the issue is that I feel you're just like them." Actually, there are still differences—
Luo Da remained silent for a long time before saying, "I remember you kissed Xiao San'er when we were little."
"That's Xiao Sanxiao, isn't she a child? She's quite cute."
"Then just treat me like a child, I'll put up with this for a bit."
"But I don't want to feel wronged." She'll still need to find a husband after she gets into university and gets a stable job. How can she keep letting her husband down?
Luo Da was already feeling stifled. Now, after hearing Li Wei's last sentence, he felt even worse. What did she mean by her feeling wronged? What had he done wrong? His tone turned unfriendly: "A kiss won't hurt you, what's the point of all this fuss!"
The negotiations completely broke down.
Li Wei glared at her and said coldly, "Who's dawdling? You're the one dawdling! It's just a trivial matter. Just tell me, that's all. Why all this fuss? Is that how a boy behaves?"
Luo was furious: "How am I not acting like a boy? I'll show you right now..."
He got up and tried to grab Li Wei. Li Wei was already on guard. Seeing his fierce look and how fast he moved, she realized there was no time to open the door. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small stun gun: "Don't come any closer! I have something for the police. If you get any closer, I'll shock you!"
This was a self-defense device that Li Wei specially placed on her body after the incident with the thugs, but unexpectedly, Luo Da used it first. It's true, timing is everything.
Luo Da stopped as expected, looked down at it, and recognized it. He'd seen Li Wei show it off before. It was supposedly usable three times in a row, but he hadn't used it even once since buying it. Was he going to use it to break his fast?
Luo Ziran wasn't afraid; he believed that the little gadget was useless in Li Wei's hands, especially against him. However, Li Wei pointing it at him still made him uncomfortable, and his expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
Li Wei had been observing Luo Da's expression, and she became even more uneasy. Would this guy go berserk and beat her up? Looking at his size, she thought that if Luo Da slapped her, she would be smashed to pieces. The small stun gun in her hand couldn't help but tremble.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have preferred to let Luo Da kiss me; after all, my life was more important. Dignity is precious, but a husband is even more valuable; if it's for my life, I can throw both away.
Luo Dayi stared silently at the small stun gun in Li Wei's hand, then suddenly noticed that the little thing was nodding. Looking at Li Wei's hand, he saw it was trembling violently. Was it really that scary? He couldn't help but ask in an annoyed tone, "Why are you trembling?"
Li Wei whispered, "It's cold and we're wearing too little clothing."
Luo Da—
His house has both heating and air conditioning, so it's warm enough.
Luo Da then asked, "Then why is your face so pale?"
Li Wei: "Frost on the cold day." She felt a chill herself after saying it; were they exchanging a secret code?
Luo Da burst out laughing. He suddenly realized that Li Xiaoming had always been quite ridiculous—a coward, trying to act like a cat with a stick, but when scared, her true colors would show. He'd actually acted like a cat with its fur standing on end, which was really unnecessary.
Luo Da suddenly beamed and became very approachable, taking a few steps back to sit on the bed: "Hey, I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously. Actually, I really think we're a good match, don't you feel it? It would be great to be with me. I'm smart and capable, and no one would dare to bully you. Although you're not short of money, and neither am I, it's all earned by my dad. I've thought it through. In the future, I'll pursue a career in politics, you'll go into business, and I'll become an official. We can have a corrupt relationship between officials and businessmen, wouldn't that be great..."
Luo Da thought he was being quite friendly, but in Li Wei's eyes, he was a typical madman driven to madness. The more harmless his smile seemed, the more terrifying a conspiracy he was brewing. If she didn't submit to him in the end, he might just reveal his true colors: "Believe it or not, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs right now?"
It won't be that serious, but it'll be about the same.
Li Wei put away the small stun gun with trembling hands. To be honest, she was really afraid to use it. Who knew if this thing was reliable? What if it would accidentally shock her?
He touched the doorknob behind him: "Um, how about this? It's fine if I kiss you, but you'd better write a note. From now on, you're not allowed to make any personal attacks against me without my permission. If you break this rule, you'll..."
As for what Luo Da was afraid of, Li Wei couldn't figure it out for a moment. It seemed that this guy was fearless.
Li Wei was racking her brains when Luo Da readily agreed, "Sure, go ahead and tell me, I'll listen to you." Actually, he's very easy to talk to.
Li Wei decided to give up on thinking about it. She asked Luo Da to bring her paper and pen. Without a word, Luo Da took out some writing paper and a ballpoint pen from his bedside drawer and handed them to Li Wei. He was very curious about what Li Wei was going to write and found the whole thing quite interesting.
While writing a note on the bedside table, Li Wei pondered what Luo Daneng was afraid of. It would be too embarrassing to complain to his grandfather about such a trivial matter, and besides, there was no evidence. She couldn't count on Uncle Luo San, and she wasn't familiar with Sixth Brother. Li Wei paused for a long time, thinking about the punishment clause. She remembered how she used to discipline Luo Er when they were kids. Luo Er was most afraid of…
Therefore, if Luo Jianhua goes back on his word, he is a eunuch. And this was widely publicized to relatives and friends.
Li Wei felt like she was a genius.
He handed it to Luo Da for a look, and Luo Da's expression was indeed strange. Pointing to the archaic term, he said, "This... isn't it a bit...? Can we change it?"
Li Wei hurriedly shook her head: "I can't change it. If you don't agree, that's fine. I don't care. It's like this anyway. I'll give you one last chance. If you don't agree..." Li Wei suddenly realized that she was getting a little close to Luo Jianhua, so she quickly changed to a smiling face: "It's okay if you don't agree."
Hey, if I ever get within three feet of you again after today, I'll take your surname!
From now on, I'll pretend I don't know you!
Luo Da pondered for a while, then suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball: "Fine, it seems you really don't want to. Don't make it seem like you'll see me as an enemy in the future. Let's just be like before. But if you think I'm good in the future, you can consider me."
Is this really Luo Da, being so easy to talk to? Or does this guy genuinely not want to be a eunuch? Or perhaps Luo Da isn't so bad after all? Am I just overthinking things?
Li Wei was also confused. She knew that it seemed wrong to have a romantic relationship so early, but who knew she would meet such a weirdo as Luo Da? She felt like she was dealing with an adult, not a high school student. And thinking about it, Luo Da had actually been quite good to her.
As for herself, it seems that all her experience is no longer useful, if anything at all.
Actually, in her previous life, Li Wei only had more work experience. As for romantic relationships, they were just acquaintances introduced by someone. They spent some time together, ate together, watched movies, went shopping, and then prepared to get married.
She was ordinary, even somewhat unremarkable. All her moral standards were those accepted by the public, and all her behavior was within those moral standards. She was an ordinary person, at most knowing how to study hard and luckily getting into a third-rate university, which was her greatest achievement in that life.
So when faced with this situation, you're clearly not thinking straight. You feel like you should say something, but you don't know what to say. You stand there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.
