Everyone could see the seriousness in Pan Ning's words. Although Li Li was a little disappointed that she couldn't get an exact time, she was much more satisfied than before.
After all, there is hope, isn't there?
And from what Ningning meant, if she met the right person, she might agree to be in a relationship right away.
So she didn't continue to persuade him, but pretended to grit her teeth and said with difficulty: "Okay, no matter how long it takes, I can't wait, but you can't lie to me. If there is a suitable one, you can't refuse it anymore."
Forget about anything else and try to calm her down first. Otherwise, what if she changes her mind? At the critical moment, Li Li was still very clear-headed. If she pushed her too far, she might even rebel.
Isn't it just the right person? At most, she could discuss it with Pan's parents, brothers and sisters, and quietly let Pan Ning go out and meet more people. She didn't believe that in such a big city like Beijing, she couldn't find a suitable candidate.
This time, Li Li's acting skills exploded, and she expressed the unwilling struggle vividly. No one could tell that she had other plans in mind.
Seeing that she agreed, Pan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and emphasized, "Don't worry, I won't lie to you, but you also have to promise me that you won't force me to date, otherwise I will regret it."
"Okay, I won't force you." Li Li agreed immediately.
Seeing her so straightforward, Pan Ning became a little uncertain and said suspiciously, "Something's wrong with you." If it were the usual Li Li, she would have bargained a bit.
Li Li's heart suddenly trembled. Oh no, her goal was about to be achieved, and she was a little too proud of herself.
No, she had to stay steady.
At the critical moment, Li Li displayed her extraordinary acting skills, revealing an unwilling and frustrated expression on her face. She pouted and said reluctantly, "I want to bargain too. I'm worried that you'll regret it if you get angry. The choice is yours. What else can I do?"
Then her eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "Ningning, are you willing to let me bargain? How about we discuss it again? How about a blind date once a month?"
Pan Ning didn't expect that her words actually gave her a warning. Li Li raised her hand to stop her from getting closer, "No, I won't agree."
"How about two months? Three months? Half a year, how about half a year?" Li Li used all her acting skills to play the role of an unreasonable person to the fullest.
"Stop, don't say anymore. I won't agree no matter how long it takes. If you keep talking, my previous promise won't count." Pan Ning couldn't stand her pestering and issued an ultimatum.
This sentence was like a switch, and Li Li immediately shut up.
Pan Ning nodded in satisfaction. "Great! Finally some peace and quiet." She figured she wouldn't be urged to do anything every day from now on.
"Okay, then it's a deal. I won't force you to date, but if you meet the right one, you are not allowed to refuse. Let's make a promise. Whoever lies will become an ugly monster, really, really ugly." After saying this, Li Li stretched out her right little finger.
Pan Ning also stretched out her little finger, but just when the two fingers touched, she suddenly thought of something and retracted her finger with a "whoosh".
Seeing that the agreement was about to be reached, something went wrong at the last moment. Li Li was completely upset. She looked at Pan Ning angrily and asked, "Ningning, do you want to go back on your word?"
Seeing her attitude, Pan Ning became more certain of her guess. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I suddenly feel that there is something wrong with this agreement. We need to change it."
Hearing this, Li Li's heart trembled with fear. No way, did Ningning discover her plan?
However, her acting skills were still on point, and she showed a puzzled expression on her face, and asked calmly, "Change? How do I change it?"
"I just realized that you said you wouldn't force me to have a partner, but you didn't mention other people, such as my parents, brothers and sisters. Are you planning to let them come forward?" Pan Ning said word by word.
Li Li immediately showed an embarrassed expression on her face and said stubbornly, "How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
She heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ning Ning had only thought of this. Although she had originally planned this, she hadn't held out much hope to begin with. She was just thinking of other options. It didn't matter if it didn't work out.
"You are." Pan Ning directly interrupted.
Li Li's expression changed in a complicated way. After struggling for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then, none of us will force you to date. That should be fine, right?"
The last sentence was filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Okay." Pan Ning was satisfied after hearing the answer he wanted to hear.
"Then let's make a pinky promise." Li Li extended her little finger again.
This time Pan Ning did not stop halfway, and the two of them successfully completed the process of hook hanging.
With the thumbs-up stamp, Li Li finally felt relieved and was extremely happy. Fortunately, she was still sober and had no expression on her face, perfectly playing the role of someone who was forced to agree.
"Then next, Shushu and I will wait for you to bring your partner to meet us." Li Li said unwillingly.
Pan Ning wanted to hum a song happily. He was not angry when he heard her words. He said in a light tone: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you see it." But it is hard to say when exactly.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for two years was gone. Pan Ning felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Gazing into the distance, I felt the sky was bluer and the clouds more beautiful. I couldn't help but stretch myself, and as my hands rose higher and higher, it seemed as if something invisible slowly disappeared.
Now, she finally had the mind to think about other things.
"Oh, by the way, where is Shushu?" Thinking of what Li Li had just said, Pan Ning noticed that the original group of three had now become just the two of them, and Jianshu had not spoken for a long time.
He immediately began to search for Jianshu's whereabouts, and Li Li also hurried to look for him when she heard it.
She also wanted to ask Shushu if there were any suitable candidates. She had a wider network of contacts, knew more people, and was more talented, so perhaps her chances would be better.
"Thank you so much for not completely forgetting me, a living person, and for still remembering me." At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came out.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jianshu with a sad face, and suddenly felt guilty.
They were talking so excitedly that they seemed to have accidentally forgotten about the book.
