Chapter 102 Compromise: Chrysanthemum tea can reduce heat, but it is not as good as actual action...
"They are survivors who recently returned to Shencheng."
Just when Li Ming didn't know how to start, Liu Mei had already introduced him: "You have met Wanyi before. He is a junior who helped us a lot when we left university."
"Junior?" Xu Wanyi was surprised after hearing this, "Then who is this girl?"
"My junior's sister."
Liu Mei explained helplessly: "I just happened to meet them on the way home, so I invited them to stay at my house."
"Oh~"
Xu Wanyi rubbed her nose in embarrassment. She politely apologized to the two of them, "I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now. I really didn't recognize you, hahaha..."
She scratched her head in deep embarrassment.
Only at this time did Xu Wanyi finally return to the feeling of the silly frog that Li Ming first knew.
"It's okay." Li Ming waved his hand with a wry smile.
He was indeed a little scared just now, but the situation is not bad now. Li Ming subconsciously turned his head to look at his sister, who had run out of the room at some point with a cold face and no words.
Li Yixi looked very upset. Li Ming saw this and thought helplessly: I don't know what made Li Yixi upset. Although he was also a little upset now.
"Let's grill the fish without further ado!"
Xu Wanyi quickly picked up the crucian carp and moved to the kitchen, saying, "I really like the roasted fish cooked by Meimei. I can never make Meimei's taste at home. It's so strange, maybe it's because of the good feng shui..."
“Ss ...
Li Yixi pulled out a chair next to the dining table and sat down expressionlessly. The wooden chair made a long friction sound on the ground, and the three people present couldn't help but look at her.
Li Yixi was indifferent to this: "I am not in a good mood today."
"Then... remember to take a good rest?"
Xu Wanyi said weakly immediately. She was a little scared of the current situation, especially since she had just had an argument with Liu Mei not long ago, and it was not certain whether she could get away with it smoothly.
"Let me make you some flower tea."
Liu Mei took out a tea can from the cupboard and said with a wry smile: "This way, I should feel better."
Li Ming, who was standing aside, looked around helplessly.
He didn't understand the tense atmosphere among the girls, the only thing he understood was his sister's mood. His sister was in a worse mood after the cold face just now.
Li Ming was at a loss: ...Sister, why are you getting more and more angry?
"Brother, what I hate most in my life is women who use cold violence and then just try to get away with it without even apologizing." Li Yixi complained to Li Ming in a low voice with a cold face.
Li Ming nodded secretly.
He finally understood what made his sister angry. It was indeed uncomfortable, but Liu Mei seemed to have gotten used to it. Why did he feel even more uncomfortable when he thought about it this way...
"This kind of person won't survive more than three seconds in my hands." Li Yixi complained in a low voice.
"Sister, this is a bit extreme."
Li Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: Well, now he was the only one who could still play a role. Although he didn't know how to break the deadlock, the forum didn't tell him how to break the deadlock.
Amid the frying noise in the kitchen, Li Ming calmed down and thought:
From the first time he met Xu Wanyi, Li Ming could clearly see that Xu Wanyi was a mild-mannered person who was not prone to confrontation. However, judging from the fact that "she often ignored Liu Mei's advice", she was the type who had her own opinions and was not easily persuaded.
There are signs that people with this kind of personality can develop into cold violence.
Because I don’t want to argue with others, but I don’t want to follow other people’s ideas, so when I encounter a situation where communication is required to solve the problem, I tend to avoid it.
But the problem is that communication is needed.
Li Ming suddenly gave up on himself:
...It's over. How about letting my sister suppress it violently?
This degree is just right, and everyone can sit down and communicate rationally, but Li Ming is afraid of provoking Xu Wanyi's rebellious behavior, and then she won't listen at all.
“Bang—”
Suddenly, there was a cup of chrysanthemum tea in front of Li Ming. Liu Mei smiled at Li Ming apologetically and said, "I made you a cup, too. If you don't mind, come and quench your thirst."
"Thank you." Li Ming thanked politely.
He carefully picked up the warm chrysanthemum tea and looked at his sister. As expected, Li Yixi's complexion improved a lot when he faced Liu Mei alone.
Li Yixi has such a personality.
For people who are valuable and do not cause trouble, her attitude will be much gentler. Although Li Ming is not sure where she learned it, it may be caused by her social experience.
But come to think of it, he also seemed to be... Li Ming thought belatedly.
"I think it's time to talk about this."
Li Yixi suddenly pushed the chair away and stood up. She walked straight towards Xu Wanyi who was still in the kitchen and announced coldly: "Sister Xu Wanyi, since I still call you sister, please go and apologize to me honestly."
Li Yixi's actions were so fast that the two people in the living room were caught off guard.
Liu Mei blinked blankly.
She looked at Li Ming beside her, only to see that Li Ming also had a confused look on his face.
But when Li Ming thought about it carefully, it was not difficult to discover the meaning behind his sister's behavior, because Li Yixi's patience had just come to an end.
"Me? I didn't do anything wrong!"
"You used cold violence yesterday, do you think you're right today?" Li Yixi suppressed the anger that was growing in his heart and said, "Either you reflect on this seriously, or you die here!"
"This has nothing to do with you!"
"It's okay?! If you hadn't done something so outrageous, I wouldn't have cared at all!"
…
Accompanied by the crackling sound of pots and pans colliding, the argument between the two people became more intense.
Liu Mei fell silent after hearing this.
She looked at Li Ming who was still sitting at the dining table and asked in a complicated tone, "Is your sister actually of this kind of personality?"
So Li Ming explained dryly: "She has always been like this."
Well, now there is no need to think of other solutions, let’s jump directly to the general solution of “Li Yixi’s violent suppression”. Li Ming quickly pushed away the chair and ran to the kitchen while shouting:
"Li Yixi, don't hurt the fish in the pot!"
Liu Mei was silent after hearing this:
...So she was letting a wolf into the house?
But the result was much better than Liu Mei expected. The fish in the pot was still intact, and only a few pots and pans were broken. Most importantly, Li Ming's sister had tied up Xu Wanyi very neatly.
"What kind of rope is this? Why can't I get rid of it completely..." Xu Wanyi, who was tied up tightly, struggled hard and complained to Liu Mei who was standing beside her: "I feel so uncomfortable, Meimei..."
“Why haven’t I thought of this approach?”
Seeing this, Liu Mei, who had betrayed her in a second, concluded seriously: "This is indeed a very convenient method."
"Meimei..." Xu Wanyi was devastated.
"Liu Mei, when are we going to eat this fish?" Li Ming, attracted by the aroma of steamed fish, reluctantly asked, "Why don't we put it in the steamer to keep it warm first?"
"I'll give it to you as a thank you gift."
Liu Mei's voice did not even show any hesitation.
Xu Wanyi was hit hard again: "That was the fish I caught, the fish I caught…"
She rolled on the floor like a rice bug, but no one untied her. Li Yixi calmly picked up her chrysanthemum tea and took a sip with satisfaction.
Although chrysanthemum tea can reduce internal heat, it is not as good as actual action.
She is the most satisfied person in the current development of the situation. Li Ming thought: If the old thief wanted to add some items to the background of the person, Li Yixi's back would definitely be full of pink flowers.
Li Ming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The current situation is unexpected.
"It's time for us to talk." Liu Mei squatted down and said to Xu Wanyi seriously, "It's not a good idea to keep avoiding it. It's time to discuss going to the capital."
"I don't want it!"
Xu Wanyi yelled stubbornly, "I've already said I'm not going to the capital. If you want to go, just go by yourself! Why drag me along? I can do it by myself!"
“Bang—”
Li Yixi put down the cup in his hand expressionlessly.
Xu Wanyi's voice suddenly stopped. She looked at her younger sister with some fear, but Li Yixi just asked calmly: "Can I have another cup?"
"Of course." Liu Mei smiled.
The two women suddenly understood each other and instantly found their corresponding roles: one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy.
Li Ming inexplicably felt like a decoration.
He looked at the cup of chrysanthemum tea poured by Liu Mei in front of him and began to wonder: Is it because I am a boy, or is it because I have too little experience?
Why does he feel like he can't keep up with the girls' thinking?
Anyway, things should end smoothly.
Thinking of this, Li Ming drank his chrysanthemum tea with peace of mind. In the corner of the living room, Liu Mei and Xu Wanyi were still arguing:
"I don't want to! What if my parents come home?"
"How many times have I told you? They won't come back, they're gone! Even if they do come back, do you want them to see their precious daughter dying?"
"I didn't!" Xu Wanyi retorted loudly.
She sniffed her nose and cried, "I just miss them, I miss them so much. And I'm different from you, Meimei. What if I'm kicked out as a monster?"
"The road is so long, what if I turn into a monster in the middle of it?"
"Then is it possible that I can't do it?" Liu Mei sighed and said resolutely, "If the capital doesn't work, then we can look for another one. There will always be a survivor base that can accommodate both of us."
“But…but…”
Xu Wanyi cried so hard that she couldn't speak. Maybe the smell of steamed fish was too strong. She choked up and said, "I want to eat. I want to eat the braised pork my mother made. But...but..."
Xu Wanyi sniffed suddenly, tears streaming down her cheeks like a waterfall: "I don't have a mother anymore, Meimei."
"I don't have a mom and dad anymore..."
"Wanyi..."
Liu Mei's eyes suddenly sparkled with tears. She sobbed, "I don't have a father or a mother anymore."
