Li Qiang finished eating the dumplings under Hou Xiaorou's supervision. Hou Xiaorou shyly asked, "Is it delicious?"
Li Qiang nodded: "Delicious..."
Hou Xiaorou thought, how could something your mother-in-law made herself not be delicious? "If you like it, I'll send it to you every day in the future."
Li Qiang quickly refused: "No, it's tiring for you to run so far."
"As long as you like it, my hard work is not worth mentioning." Hou Xiaorou blushed again.
"I want to ask you something." Li Qiang said hesitantly, "Answer it if it's convenient for you, and don't answer it if it's not convenient for you."
Hou Xiaorou's breathing quickened with excitement. Emma, is he going to confess his feelings? She rubbed the corner of her clothes nervously and nodded.
Li Qiang coughed lightly and said, "How is Xiaolin recently? I haven't seen her for a long time."
Hou Xiaorou stood there as if struck by lightning. He actually asked her about Xiaolin? She looked at Li Qiang in disbelief, thinking she had misheard.
Seeing that she was silent, Li Qiang said, "If you don't want to talk, forget it. I just saw that it's not easy for a girl like her to work hard outside, so I wanted to show some concern."
Hou Xiaorou then realized that she had heard correctly. Li Qiang was asking about Lin Qingqing.
She was filled with despair. She was a little rough, but she was not stupid. For a single man to inquire about a beautiful woman, what else could it be except secret love?
She always thought that Li Qiang liked her, but she didn't expect that she was just being wishful thinking.
If Li Qiang didn't like her, she went to his unit several times. Although she didn't see him, she left notes and food every time she went, and he never refused.
If he didn't need this care, he could have asked his colleagues at work to tell her not to send her anything in the future, but he didn't do that, so she felt that she had his tacit consent.
"Also, don't send food to my workplace anymore. We've only met once, and we're just ordinary friends at best. Don't let anyone misunderstand."
Hou Xiaorou understood what he meant, which was that he just didn't like her.
From the beginning, she felt that she was not worthy of Li Qiang, but her mother insisted on setting them up, constantly urging her to go to Li Qiang's workplace to meet him. However, this was not entirely her mother's fault, as she admitted that she was attracted to Li Qiang.
She ran out of Li Qiang's house holding her thermos cup and covering her face.
The snowflakes grew bigger and bigger and fell on her, but she seemed unaware of the cold and kept running.
If someone passed by at this moment, they would see a fat girl in very thin clothes, crying and running wildly in the snow.
Li Qiang didn't pursue her. No man would care about a woman he doesn't like.
It's not that he hasn't seen Lin Qingqing before. Every time he went to deliver a letter, he would deliberately bypass her cloth stall just to take a look at her. He saw her every move, every frown and smile, and kept them in his heart.
This girl is beautiful and capable. Her brother and mother listen to her orders. She has a very special charm, which is completely different from ordinary rural girls. Li Qiang likes her indescribably.
But the more he likes someone, the more he dares not approach her. In the evening, he would deliberately pass by the rental house after get off work, but he never went in.
He felt like he wasn't a man at all and didn't even have the courage to pursue the girl he liked.
Li Qiang was absent-minded the whole next day. After get off work, he bought two canned fruit from the supply and marketing cooperative, went home, dressed carefully, washed his hair, changed his clothes, and finally plucked up the courage to go to the rental house.
