Chapter 122 Are they together?
The red hair clip was pulled off her head, with a strand of hair still attached to it.
Xiuxiu saw Chen Xiaohua holding the red hair clip in her hand and raising it up.
"This is clearly mine!" Chen Xiaohua turned around angrily and shouted at the crowd, "I had one exactly the same before, but I suddenly couldn't find it, and then you put it on your head!"
“I used to wear it on my head all the time, and all of them can testify to that!” Chen Xiaohua pointed to the people behind her.
The group nodded; they were all on the same production line and naturally knew that Chen Xiaohua wore a red hair clip every day.
Xiuxiu rubbed her head and protested, "I didn't steal anything from you."
Chen Xiaohua scoffed, "Then why don't you explain?"
"You can't be sure this is yours, can you?" Xiuxiu snatched it from Chen Xiaohua's hand. "Are you the only one in the world with a red hair clip?"
"Alright, since you say this is yours," Chen Xiaohua stretched out her hand and said, "Show me the invoice!"
Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?
Chen Xiaohua tilted her head back, stretched out her hand, and remained relentless in her demands.
Xiuxiu pursed her lips. This hair clip was a gift from Li Dapeng. If she were to reveal it now, what would others think of Li Dapeng?
Would they laugh at him? After all, her past wasn't honorable, and if people found out... Xiuxiu panicked for a moment.
She wasn't afraid of being gossiped about, but rather of Li Dapeng; she also found it difficult to explain their current relationship.
Seeing that Xiuxiu remained silent, Chen Xiaohua revealed a smug expression, "You're the one who stole it!"
Xiuxiu angrily looked up and shouted, "I didn't steal it!"
"Even if you didn't steal it, but you picked it up, it should be returned to its rightful owner!" Chen Xiaohua reached out to snatch it.
Xiuxiu still gripped the hair clip tightly. Chen Xiaohua looked her up and down, snorted, and said, "What, aren't you going to give it to me?"
"I don't mean to frame an innocent person. You just need to produce evidence to prove that this thing is yours, right?" Chen Xiaohua sneered again. "Show it to me!"
"Yes, Xiuxiu, why don't you just produce the evidence?"
“We also believe you are not that kind of person, but it’s difficult to proceed without evidence.”
The female workers in the crowd made some very pertinent remarks. Everyone in the factory sees each other all the time, and no one wanted to ruin the relationship. So someone immediately stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
"Alright, alright, it's just a hair clip. I'll buy you one when I get my salary." The person said, pulling Chen Xiaohua along.
"It's not about the hair clip!" Chen Xiaohua pushed her away and said, "Xiuxiu, say something, you're making it seem like I've wronged you."
Li Dapeng stood not far away, pacing anxiously. The receipt for the card was in his pocket, and he wanted to go over there immediately and slap it in front of everyone.
But does Xiuxiu want him to stand up? What if the factory people make fun of them every day from now on, and Xiuxiu can't stand it?
Just as Li Dapeng was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pan, Xiuxiu suddenly turned her head and looked at him.
Her eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of helplessness in her gaze. In just one moment, Li Dapeng could no longer bear it.
He couldn't let Xiuxiu suffer.
Li Dapeng felt as if everyone around him had disappeared, leaving only Xiuxiu, who was looking at him with a wronged expression.
He couldn't hear or see anything. He took the invoice out of his pocket and threw it to Chen Xiaohua. Then, without saying a word, he pulled Xiuxiu and walked out.
Everyone looked at them and made way for them.
Xiuxiu looked down at Li Dapeng's hand that was holding hers, and then slowly looked up at his strong arm and shoulder, and then at his profile.
For the first time, Xiuxiu heard her own heartbeat, pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
The two walked straight out of the cafeteria, but Li Dapeng was still holding Xiuxiu's hand. They walked quite a distance before Li Dapeng suddenly snapped out of his daze.
That soft, squishy thing in my hand... is that Xiuxiu's hand?
Li Dapeng quickly let go and stammered, "I, I didn't mean to."
The texture was still there on his hands, soft and smooth like a boiled egg. Li Dapeng looked down at his hands.
Xiuxiu pursed her lips and looked at her hands.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Dapeng scratched his head. "I was in a hurry at the time and didn't think about your future situation. I'm sorry."
"I... I just don't want to see you suffer..." Li Dapeng wanted to say something more, but Xiuxiu suddenly spoke up—
“Li Dapeng.” Xiuxiu looked up, her eyes smiling, her gentle gaze fixed on him.
Li Dapeng stared blankly at Xiuxiu, his eyes unblinking. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he heard himself swallow.
"Should we give it a try?" Xiuxiu asked, then suddenly lowered her head.
Li Dapeng blinked, thinking he might have misheard, and said blankly, "What did you say?"
"Never mind if you didn't hear me." Xiuxiu gave Li Dapeng a coquettish look, then turned and walked inside.
Li Dapeng felt dizzy. He clenched his fists nervously and shouted, "Xiuxiu, I heard you!"
"good!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, wanting the whole world to hear him.
Xiuxiu paused, turned around with a smile, and waved to him.
Li Dapeng scratched his buzz cut sheepishly and quickly ran over. He felt that Xiuxiu radiated a light, making her particularly dazzling.
The two walked into the factory together, and the moment everyone saw them, they suddenly fell silent.
The unspoken silence was all too familiar; they must have been whispering amongst themselves as they left.
But Xiuxiu wasn't afraid at all this time.
Chen Xiaohua walked over with red eyes, glanced between Xiuxiu and Li Dapeng, and asked in surprise, "Are you two back together?"
