363: Chapter 161: What Exactly Do You Want, Student Li?
Through twenty minutes of contact, Wang Yunxiao realized that Li Mumu didn’t have mental issues, but rather, she had slow reactions.
As long as you give her enough thinking time, she is capable of responding effectively.
However, if you’re not aware of this issue and continue talking to her while she’s thinking, you’ll disrupt her thoughts and plunge her into confusion.
Her memory had also been wiped clean.
Aside from remembering her parents, she had no memory of anyone else, not even her close girlfriend.
She was also aware of this problem and had reached out to herself through a notebook.
One really shouldn’t go to such crowded places.
At least on one point, Wang Yunxiao and Tang Yase agreed: a girl with such a slow mind showing up in a place like that could be snatched away by someone at any moment.
Forget about whether they’re human traffickers or not; even the passers-by, the old uncles and aunties, would likely take this seemingly unclaimed child home upon seeing her.
“…That’s the whole story of how we met,”
Wang Yunxiao took ten minutes to recount to Li Mumu the entire process of how they met and came into contact through the notebook.
It only took ten minutes because there really wasn’t much to talk about.
While telling the story, Wang Yunxiao also kept an eye on the ice cream in Li Mumu’s hand.
She also ate ice cream very slowly, licking it bit by bit, then silently holding the ice cream stick in a daze after finishing.
“…For buying me ice cream.”
“How about I take you to meet my classmates?
They are nearby; we could have dinner together in the evening.
“Full from one ice cream?”
Wang Yunxiao frowned, “Then shall I take you home?”
“…I don’t want to go back.”
“It’s getting late; where do you want to go if not home?”
Li Mumu silently looked at him without speaking.
Wang Yunxiao felt helpless inside, Do you realize how damaging you are?
If I weren’t such an upright person, I would…
I seem to not quite be one, am I?
“Then shall I take you to the Special Service Bureau so the doctor can take another look at you?”
You refuse this and that, do you really want me to take you to stay in a hotel?
It’s definitely not an option to go back to the school…
wait, the semester’s final exams ended today, and the girls’ dormitory is empty.
Testing the waters, Wang Yunxiao asked, “What about going back to the school with me tonight, and I’ll have my sister stay with you, is that okay?”
Li Mumu thought for a long time and then gently nodded her head.
Watching Li Mumu open her wallet and start pulling out money, Wang Yunxiao felt his blood pressure rising steadily.
I shouldn’t have told her about donating new bedding to the school.
Truly fitting of an heiress, the more detailed the issue, the fussier they get.
Who said she was silly?
She’s just slow to react; her mind is completely fine!
She hasn’t forgotten a bit of the princess syndrome typical of an heiress!
“…Don’t worry about me.”
Seeing Wang Yunxiao’s face with an expression of a deeply concerned father, Li Mumu couldn’t help saying, “I know martial arts.”
You know martial arts?”
This was the biggest joke Wang Yunxiao had heard all year, “What kind of martial arts?
Excited Delinquent Fist?”
Then he saw Li Mumu raise her hands, spreading her ten fingers to transform her fists into claws, and mimicked a few moves in a practiced manner.
A basic skill called Crazy Scratching?
Wang Yunxiao almost died of laughter, afraid that she might feel embarrassed, he quickly consoled her, “Alright, alright, I know you know martial arts now, and you’re not afraid of bad guys, that’s enough!”
“There are bad guys.”
“Right, there really are bad guys in society.”
“…There are bad guys following me.”
Wang Yunxiao’s smile faded as he looked around, but didn’t notice anything unusual.
He lowered his voice and asked, “When did this happen?”
“…These past few days.”
“So every time you go out, there’s someone bad following you?”
Wang Yunxiao suddenly realized why Li Mumu had run to that busy, crowded little square.
Sitting there posed the risk of being kidnapped, but in broad daylight and in front of everyone, real bad guys would find it harder to make their move.
“Did you tell your parents?”
“It’s no use telling them.”
Li Mumu’s parents were ordinary people; apart from calling the police, they didn’t have much else to do in such a situation.
And as for the bad guys shadowing Li Mumu in secret…
Considering her previous mysterious disappearance for a while, it was hard to say whether she had become involved in some baffling incident or met some weirdo.
Wang Yunxiao certainly did not overlook this possibility.
“Then stick with me for now.
I can ensure your safety.
Here in Tianmen, my name, Wang Yunxiao, still carries some weight.”
Wang Yunxiao was somewhat confident about this.
He brought the young mistress to the restaurant—this didn’t require much reasoning.
Nanshi Main Street wasn’t very large, and Youtiao and the others were quite noticeable, so it didn’t take long to find them.
Seeing Wang Yunxiao really brought Li Mumu over, those who were sprawled out on the chairs a moment ago instantly perked up.
Can we serve the food now?”
“The boss finally returned, I thought we wouldn’t get a hot meal tonight.”
“Alright, alright, you say that, huh?
Later, I’ll tell the boss!”
No one dared to jokingly call Li Mumu the big sister-in-law without the boss’s nod.
She was a genuine rich young lady, a big sponsor.
Whether everyone could get new quilts this winter depended on her whim.
There were all sorts of calls.
With a raise of his hand from Wang Yunxiao, everyone fell silent.
“Let me tell you, Student Li Mumu is recovering from a serious illness, and her reactions are a bit slow now.
Xiaotang, come over and keep Student Li Mumu company, see what she likes to eat and add a couple of dishes for her.”
It wasn’t just about adding a couple of dishes.
If she didn’t like it, they could even change the restaurant.
You have to save where you can, and spend where you need to, to establish the right views on money and spending.
Spending on the young mistress qualifies as an investment.
Wang Yunxiao stood behind Li Mumu and made a discreet gesture of tapping his head with his finger, and the brothers instantly got the message.
Eldest Miss Li’s mind was not functioning well.
As soon as Wang Yunxiao arrived, they immediately started the feast.
The dishes Youtiao and the others ordered were all meat—naturally, who wouldn’t eat meat when visiting a restaurant these days?
Only crazy people would think about dieting and nutrition matching.
Twelve young fellas essentially equaled twelve human-shaped rice buckets.
Within two minutes of a dish being served, not even the slightest bit of grease was left on the plate.
This was partially because Li Mumu was present, and even if she didn’t eat, Jiang Xiaotang would first scoop her a portion.
Otherwise, even those two minutes wouldn’t have been enough.
