Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 272, Chen Xu's reaction
After hearing Wang Li's confession, Chen Xu's face looked much better. She really liked Wang Li, and she believed that Wang Li was not lying to her, but she still couldn't accept it.

After a long while, she held Wang Li's hand and said, "Give me some time to think about it. What you said has had a huge impact on me. I can't accept it. Please take me to the train station tomorrow. I want to stay at home for a while and come back after the New Year."

Wang Li heard her say this and knew that Chen Xu was struggling in her heart. But fortunately, she did not completely deny herself, but just needed some time to think about it.

Wang Li immediately said sincerely: Okay, I will ask someone to book a ticket for you today and send you to the train tomorrow.

After saying these words, he held Chen Xu's face with both hands, let the two look into each other's eyes, and said seriously: Chen Xu, I really like you, you can go back and think about it, but you can't really not want me, otherwise I won't be able to bear it, I can wait for you forever, really wait for you forever.

Chen Xu looked at his sincere eyes, cried into his arms, and was obviously venting her emotions.

Instead of comforting her, Wang Li stroked her back and asked her to vent her emotions.

The two of them didn't do anything that night, but Wang Li still slept with Chen Xu in his arms.

When they got up the next day, neither of them mentioned the incident again. After having breakfast together, Chen Xu was sent to the train station.

Wang Li just said: I'll wait for you when handing Chen Xu the travel bag.

Chen Xu looked up at Wang Li's eyes and said: I understand, see you after the New Year.

She boarded the train, and Wang Li's heart followed Chen Xu as she boarded the train.

When he returned to the courtyard, his mood had not yet changed. His parents and Zheng Lan knew at a glance that things between him and Chen Xu were not going well.

Zheng Lan and Lai Xiaomei came to meet Wang Li, took him to the master bedroom of the third courtyard, and asked him about him and Chen Xu.

After listening to Wang Li's story, Zheng Lan fell into deep thought, while Lai Xiaomei silently hugged him, hoping to comfort her brother Wang Li.

After a while, Zheng Lan said to Wang Li: Okay, don't act like this. You are all in your forties. Don't act like a rookie like Wang Jianye and Wang Jianguo.

When Wang Li heard her words, his face turned slightly red, and then he pulled Zheng Lan into his arms and started to hug her.

Zheng Lan couldn't say those words anymore, her face turned red, after all, Lai Xiaomei was here.

Lai Xiaomei sat aside, watching the two of them playing around with a smile. After a while, Zheng Lan continued: In fact, Chen Xu didn't directly reject you or scold you, which is a good thing, because it shows that she has psychologically accepted this state.

It's just that she just can't accept it in her heart. I believe that if you give her some more time, she will come to terms with it. But during this period of time, you must take care of her silently as before, and you cannot have any other reaction.

Wang Li said: I understand.

After that, he rubbed his face with his hands, stood up and said: Let's go out! I came back with a bad complexion. It's almost the New Year. Don't let me affect everyone alone.

After saying that, he adjusted his state and led Zheng Lan and Lai Xiaomei, one in each hand, towards the second courtyard.

Time passed quickly. During this period, Wang Li often called Chen Xu who was far away in Liaozhou to talk about recent situations and interesting things.

Chen Xu would also talk about his experiences after returning home, and during this period neither of them mentioned that incident again.

The Wang family's New Year celebrations this year were not much different from previous ones. They would often get together with relatives and friends, talk about the past, and imagine a better life in the future.

The only difference is that his disciples would occasionally tease Wang Li about Chen Xu.

Obviously, they didn't know that Wang Li had confessed to Chen Xu, but Chen Xu hadn't accepted it yet.

However, Wang Li was not angry about this. He was just more serious when guiding his disciples in their practice this year than in previous years.

Only Zhao Gang, who had been hurt, knew that this must be the master's revenge on them, but he did not dare to say it. Instead, he had a grateful expression on his face, thanking Wang Li for his guidance.

The year passed in a flash, and Zheng Lan had already returned to the British Empire with Wang Jianye and Mr. Kong.

This year they went back earlier than in previous years because a car factory was about to be built there and there was a lot of work to do.

At the same time, she also made an appointment with Wang Li that if Chen Xu agreed, when Wang Li took her home, he would inform Zheng Lan in advance, and she would rush back from the British Empire to meet this little sister.
