Chapter 36 Responsible for You
Later, whenever Tao Xiaoxi recalled that night, she felt extremely regretful. She couldn't control herself and threw herself into Li Nanshan's arms before he opened them. Alas, she felt a little too eager to take action and seemed particularly unrestrained.
Li Nanshan felt her joy and finally felt relieved about the decision he made on impulse.
At first, Li Nanshan didn't know where to put his hands, so Tao Xiaoxi simply grabbed his hands and put them on her waist. She clearly felt Li Nanshan stiffen for a moment, and Tao Xiaoxi rubbed his chest again as if it were a fire. Immediately, her heart began to beat as if on fire.
"Li Nanshan, what are you thinking about?" Tao Xiaoxi listened to his heartbeat, which was strong and powerful. It seemed that their sex life would be harmonious in the future.
Li Nanshan was thinking about something else, but he couldn't say it. He could only make a hoarse sound and said nothing clearly.
"Your here," Tao Xiaoxi held up an index finger, "it's jumping really fast."
Li Nanshan knew what she was doing. She was challenging his limits, she was tempting him, and she was drawing out the sleeping lion in his heart without regard for the consequences.
He couldn't do what she wanted.
He hooked his fingers around hers and twisted them slightly, then he held her restless hand in his palm. His hand was big enough to completely cover it.
Tao Xiaoxi didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative. It seemed like he had finally figured it out, so she thought about taking it a step further.
At this time, the moon was above the willows, and people were living in the dusk. Just as Tao Xiaoxi groped her palm and climbed up to Li Nanshan's face, before she could put her mouth to him, Li Nanshan pushed her away.
This hug ended with both Li Nanshan and Tao Xiaoxi's heartbeats accelerating and they couldn't breathe. When they separated, Tao Xiaoxi thought of a word: stealing.
Forget it, there is still a long way to go, I'll let him go today, Tao Xiaoxi thought.
This night, the moon was also shy, the gauze was like dark clouds, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the birds were chirping, and the passionate summer officially began.
When Li Nanshan returned home, he looked at his father sitting on the kang. He could already smoke his pipe, which meant that everything was fine.
He walked to the bed and called "Dad". Then, just as he was about to start talking about him and Tao Xiaoxi, he heard someone calling him outside.
"Dad, I'll go out and take a look." Li Nanshan said.
Old man Li didn't say anything, but just nodded seriously.
When Li Nanshan came out, he saw Liang Hengsheng standing there with uncontrollable excitement and excitement on his face.
"Nanshan, I got a letter from home. My parents have resumed work, and they're helping me apply to return to the city. I can go back!" Liang Hengsheng spoke excitedly, his voice quickening. For someone as introverted as him, this was the ultimate expression, unless he was drunk.
"Congratulations." Li Nanshan also congratulated sincerely.
"I want to borrow your bicycle. I will reply to my parents tomorrow. Is that convenient for you?" Liang Hengsheng explained his purpose.
"It's convenient. Just wait, I'll push it out for you."
"Okay, thank you."
Li Nanshan pushed the bicycle out to him and handed it to Liang Hengsheng. He patted him on the shoulder and congratulated him again.
"Nanshan, there's something I'm a little undecided about, and I'd like you to give me some advice."
"You say." Li Nanshan said without thinking.
"I want Tao Xiaoxi to go back to the city with me. Do you think she would agree?"
Li Nanshan stood there in a daze. He should have thought of it earlier. Liang Hengsheng liked Tao Xiaoxi. Before, because of his uncertain future, he didn't dare to show it. Now that his future is bright, he doesn't need to hide it anymore.
But why this time? Liang Hengsheng, Liang Hengsheng, you really know how to pick the right time.
Before Li Nanshan could say anything, Liang Hengsheng continued, "I'll be able to find a job when I return to the city, and supporting them both won't be a problem. I can even help Xiaoxi find a job. Of course, that depends on her willingness. She's a thoughtful, modern woman who shouldn't be confined to this tiny steamed bun village. I admit that I do this out of gratitude, but I can't deny that I admire the independent and opinionated temperament she exudes. I think such qualities are too rare in women of this era. I should protect them, let them flourish, and influence more women to awaken. So I do this not only for myself, but also for Xiaoxi, and for the better progress of this society..."
Liang Hengsheng's voice drifted intermittently into his ears. He had no idea how much impact his eloquent words had on Li Nanshan. When he'd wanted to be with Tao Xiaoxi, he'd never considered these things. He hadn't considered whether doing so would benefit Tao Xiaoxi, let alone whether it would benefit women in general. In comparison, Li Nanshan felt filthy, despicable, and insignificant, thinking only of his own little world and ignoring the lives of others.
His world is in this small Mantou Village. In his world, there is no rise and fall, honor and disgrace of society, only his personal joys and sorrows, and the daily necessities of life.
When Liang Hengsheng was pushing his bicycle away, he did not get a reply from Li Nanshan. In fact, he did not need a reply. He just needed someone to talk to. He urgently needed to share this joy with others, but he ignored the fact that there were very few people in this world who could empathize with him.
Li Nanshan sat on the stone mill in front of his door for a long time. He looked at the stars, but they had dimmed. He looked at the moon, but it had also hidden in the clouds. It seemed as if everything that had happened before was a dream that had never happened.
Looking back at the window, the lights in the room were off and Dad had gone to bed. He hadn't said anything yet, and there was no need to say anything.
The eldest sister-in-law got up from a nap and saw a vague figure sitting in the yard. She was startled and held her waist to look carefully. When she saw that it was her brother-in-law Nanshan, she put on some clothes and came out.
"Nanshan, you haven't slept yet?"
Li Nanshan turned around and saw that it was his sister-in-law, so he stood up and patted his clothes, "It's time to go to bed, sister-in-law, you go in and sleep."
"Well, it's time to go to bed. By the way, Xiaoxi helped our family so much today. We should thank him well." The sister-in-law said this when she remembered it.
"She should be thanked. Sister-in-law, do you know what she needs?"
"What does she lack? I really don't know. She is capable and opinionated. She does whatever she wants to do in a vigorous and resolute manner. I really can't think of what she lacks. If you must say what she lacks, it must be money. Who doesn't lack money?" The sister-in-law went in as she spoke, as if it was a joke she told to herself and not to be taken seriously.
But Li Nanshan listened to her. Tao Xiaoxi lacked nothing. She had everything he had. A woman like her should have a decent job and live a decent life. Hiding in this small valley was indeed burying her.
At that moment, the moment he made the decision, Li Nanshan, a towering man, felt wronged like a child, sobbing. He bit his arm, and the taste of blood spread in his mouth. He was sad for his life, which had fallen to the dust, and for the decision that had died before he could even speak it out.
