159 Chapter 158, Blind Date (3)
Ji Yuanyuan, on the other hand, was more confident than Li Yong. She only said, “Let’s take a look again, this is only the first stop!”
Li Lei went to look for his bicycle and pushed it out very quickly.
Then, he got on the bicycle by himself. Meng Xiaoning hesitated for a moment and sat in the back seat of Li Lei.
This time, she took the initiative to reach out and grab the corner of Li Lei’s shirt.
Although she was only holding a small corner, Ji Yuanyuan tugged at Li Yong’s hand excitedly and said, “Look, look, this is progress!”
When she came here, she was so shy that she didn’t dare to pull the corner of her uncle’s shirt. Now, she dared to pull it.
How much progress was this!
Li Lei also had experience. He started very slow, but Meng Xiaoning, who was sitting in the back seat, was very steady.
The bike started, but Meng Xiaoning still did not let go of the corner of Li Lei’s shirt.
“They’ve only met for more than an hour, and they’ve already made rapid progress.” Ji Yuanyuan tugged at Li Yong’s shirt anxiously, “Quick, Second Uncle, let’s follow them!”
Li Yong immediately came back to his senses and quickly went to the side to propel the bike. He carried Ji Yuanyuan to the bike seat on the beam, and the two of them chased after them.
It was already lunchtime. They were probably looking for a place to eat.
Li Lei was also a stubborn person. He quickly drove Meng Xiaoning to the restaurant where the two of them first came.
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at the words on the door. She shook her head helplessly.
Dumpling restaurant! It’s better to eat noodles than this!
Why did they turn around and come back?
The two of them ate in the restaurant. Li Yong took Ji Yuanyuan to a nearby steamed bun restaurant and ate a simple steamed bun.
They thought that Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning would definitely have a third stop.
After shopping and eating, they would go to watch a movie or something. How great would that be!
But who knew that after the two of them ate, Li Lei would drive Meng Xiaoning back.
When they returned to Li Xu’s shop, even Li Xu and Zhang Kun were shocked.
Li Xu subconsciously asked, “Why are you back so soon?”
They had only been out for two hours, how did you come back already? Could it be that the girl didn’t like Li Lei?
She carefully looked at Meng Xiaoning’s expression, trying to see something from the girl’s expression.
However, Meng Xiaoning kept her head down, so she couldn’t see her expression clearly.
Li Lei didn’t answer Li Xu’s question. He only asked, “Where’s Aunt Liang?”
“She went home, we thought it would take a long time for you to come back!” Li Xu said, and then said, “How about this, you ride your bike and send Xiaoning back.”
Li Xu turned around and took a bag. After filling it with a lot of vegetables, she handed it to Li Lei, “Bring this back to your Aunt Liang!”
Initially, she was going to call Liang Huimei, big sister, but now that the two children were on a blind date, there was no way they could be separated by seniority. She could only change the way she addressed her and called her aunt.
Meng Xiaoning finally opened her mouth and said, “There’s no need, Big Sister, you’re too polite.”
“It’s not worth much, just take it to eat!” Li Xu said with a smile.
Li Lei carried the food and looked at Meng Xiaoning, “Shall we go?”
Meng Xiaoning nodded and turned to leave with Li Lei.
After Li Lei left with Meng Xiaoning, Li Xu Sighed with some annoyance, “Looks like they not gonna make it!”
Zhang Kun patted her shoulder, “What’s the rush? He has only been back for a short while. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!”
As they were talking, Li Yong carried Ji Yuanyuan in.
Li Xu had forgotten that two hours ago, she had stopped Li Yong from following Li Lei. She hurriedly asked, “How is it? What’s the situation with the two of them?”
Li Yong entered the door and snorted, “If I were Xiao Meng, I wouldn’t fancy him either, it’s too…”
Li Xu was confused, “What’s wrong? What did your brother do?”
..
Meng Xiaoning’s home was in a village not far from the county town. Li Lei walked her to the door and took the plastic bag from the handle of the car. He handed it to Meng Xiaoning.
“Why don’t you go in and drink some water before you leave?” Meng Xiaoning reached out and took it. She hesitated for a moment before asking.
Li Lei hurriedly said, “No, no, you can go back, I’m leaving.”
After saying that, he ran away as if someone was chasing after him.
Looking at Li Lei’s back, Meng Xiaoning let out a gentle breath and carried the bag into the house.
Liang Huimei was at home catching up on her sleep!
She had woken up early in the morning and had to catch up on her sleep after finishing her breakfast.
However, not long after she fell asleep, she was woken up by the sound of the door opening.
She was stunned for a moment before she got up and leaned against the window to look outside.
She saw her daughter carrying a plastic bag and walking into the house.
Liang Huimei had just woken up and her mind was still in a mess. It took her a long time to react.
She looked at her daughter who had just entered the house and asked in surprise, “You’re back so soon?”
Meng Xiaoning placed the dishes on the bed, “This was given to me by Li Lei’s sister.”
“Why so soon? Why didn’t the two of you talk for a while longer?” Liang Hui Mei rubbed her eyes and asked.
Meng Xiaoning pulled a long face, “He didn’t like me at all. His tone was cold and indifferent, he wasn’t enthusiastic at all. After having lunch, I was a little angry. I was angry and told him that I wanted to come back, but he drove me back to the shop without saying anything.”
Liang Huimei was a little surprised. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be like this.
Her daughter’s condition wasn’t bad, yet Li Lei didn’t like her?
There couldn’t be some misunderstanding, right?
“What about you? What do you think of him?” Liang Huimei asked hurriedly.
When she asked this question, Meng Xiaoning’s face turned a little red, “What do you mean what do I think of him? We’ve only been together for two hours, how could I figure that out?”
Liang Hui Mei looked at her daughter’s expression and had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
“Isn’t that what blind dates are like? The two of you should first meet to see if they like each other. If you like each other, then continue to interact. If you don’t like each other, then forget it. Do you think you should continue to interact with him?”
After saying this, Meng Xiaoning stood up, “What’s the use of me thinking about it? I can’t take the initiative to ask him out, right?”
Liang Huimei didn’t say anything. She was calculating in her heart. After closing the stall the next day, she had to go to Li Xu’s place to find out what was going on.
On Li Xu’s side, she finally managed to get Li Lei back. As soon as he entered the door, Li Xu said, “What’s going on with you? Even if you don’t like her, you can’t be so obvious!”
When Li Lei heard this, he was stunned, “Ah?”
“You don’t care about Xiao Meng at all,” Li Yong said.
Li Lei’s expression became even more confused. When did he not care about Xiao Meng?
Ji Yuanyuan sighed, “When you entered the department store, there was a soda and candied haws seller on the right side of the door. Auntie Meng took a look, didn’t you notice? She definitely wanted to drink but was too embarrassed to ask!”
Li Lei subconsciously shook his head, “I didn’t notice.”
Then, he came back to his senses, “How did you know? You guys…”
He pointed at Ji Yuanyuan and Li Yong with a look of sudden realization. He finally understood what was going on.
“Also, do you think it’s appropriate for you to treat her to dumplings the first time you meet her?” Ji Yuanyuan followed up with a question. She did not give Li Lei a chance to get angry.
