Chapter 579 The Inexhaustible Flavor of Licking Lips

The next morning. πŸ’œπŸ’œ βž…9sπ•™β“Šπ•.Ⓒ𝔬m πŸ‘ΊπŸ³

Li Haoyu shook off Li Xixi and went to find Zheng Juan alone.

Zheng Juan may have experienced what happened yesterday.

This time, she became much more proactive.

She saw Li Haoyu's figure and took advantage of the fact that there were few people around.

Zheng Juan jumped up and down and gave Li Haoyu a big hug. But just as Li Haoyu was about to do something else, Zheng Juan ran away like a little rabbit.

However, Zheng Juan still thanked Li Haoyu.

She took out a glass bottle of soda from behind her back and handed it to Li Haoyu.

She savored the taste and even licked her lips. "This flavor is absolutely amazing. Here, take the glass bottle. I heard that if you give the bottle to the seller, they can refund you more money."

Li Haoyu then realized something.

Actually, it's not just Li Xixi.

Girls find it impossible to resist the allure of desserts.

Zheng Juan glanced at Li Haoyu.

"Although the soda is quite delicious, it's still a bit too expensive. I appreciate your kind intentions, but please don't buy it for me next time."

Next, Zheng Juan started selling popsicles seriously.

Li Haoyu wanted to help, but Zheng Juan stopped him from doing so.

Li Haoyu tried several times, but he still couldn't win against Zheng Juan. Li Haoyu simply gave up and gave up; he couldn't be bothered to argue with Zheng Juan anymore.

That really makes no sense.

He told Zheng Juan, "I'm going to buy something. You can just wait here for me."

Zheng Juan smiled unconsciously as she watched Li Haoyu's retreating figure. Actually, it was quite nice to have someone like him by her side.

It's exactly as Li Haoyu said.

He returned not long afterward.

However, Zheng Juan saw what was inside Li Haoyu's plastic bag.

She was instantly left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

He did indeed go to return the soda bottles.

But when Li Haoyu came back, he brought out two brand new bottles of soda.

Li Haoyu said to Zheng Juan, "Hurry up and reach out your hand, it's still ice cold, that's when it tastes best."

Zheng Juan shook her head shyly.

She clearly wanted to refuse Li Haoyu's kindness.

This made Li Haoyu frown, and he said loudly, "Just listen to me, stop dawdling."

Zheng Juan was a little taken aback by the scolding.

She said timidly, "I understand, it's just too wasteful of money."

She reluctantly and slowly extended her hand, feeling more like she was being tortured than drinking soda.

Li Haoyu felt that Zheng Juan's movements were too slow.

The speed was exhausting to watch.

Li Haoyu simply grabbed Zheng Juan's hand, shoved a soda into her palm, and then pushed her down onto a stool.

This stool was specially prepared by Zheng Juan for Li Haoyu to rest on, knowing that he was coming today.

Li Haoyu said firmly, "Now it's your turn to rest. Don't even think about doing any work until you finish your soda. 🍧☠ 🐊β™₯"

Zheng Juan seemed to want to say something more.

She had already raised her head, and her lips were moving slightly.

Li Haoyu glared at her. "This is an order. Just obey. Otherwise, you won't be able to accept the consequences."

Zheng Juan dared not speak again.

She could only weakly suggest, "How about we drink together?"

Li Haoyu did not respond to Zheng Juan at all.

He simply picked up the box of popsicles and started helping her sell them.

Zheng Juan could only sit obediently on the stool.

The man was selling with great enthusiasm, though I was too embarrassed to speak that loudly.

"If you're really in a hurry, just finish your drink and drink together," Li Haoyu said, looking down.

Zheng Juan nodded silently.

She no longer tasted it so carefully.

Zheng Juan started drinking the soda in big gulps.

As a result, she drank too quickly and coughed.

Li Haoyu naturally had a clear view of Zheng Juan's actions.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "What a silly girl."

That's a bit too hasty.

Zheng Juan's method of solving problems is really simple and straightforward. Li Haoyu doesn't even need to think; he knows what Zheng Juan is thinking right now.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say, "I know you can't sit still. But you don't need to be in such a hurry. I'm not so impatient that I can't even wait a few minutes."

Zheng Juan then slowed down.

Li Haoyu then asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Zheng Juan nodded, and said with a hint of curiosity.

"How did you know?"

Li Haoyu said in a serious tone, "You're practically a national treasure now. If I didn't know what you were, what would I be? Why don't you come home with me and rest?"

Zheng Juan heard what Li Haoyu said.

Her face turned red instantly.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Li Haoyu, every word he said came true.

How could Zheng Juan take this as a casual joke?

She said nervously, "No need, I'll go home early today and get some rest."

Li Haoyu remained silent, his face tense.

"Trust me, I will definitely get a good rest."

Zheng Juan's eyes even reddened again.

Li Haoyu then stopped teasing Zheng Juan.

"Is my home that scary? This is the second time you've refused to come to my house. Don't worry, I won't force you unless you want to."

Zheng Juan wiped her eyes and nodded hurriedly.

"Oh, right, remember what I emphasized? After these few days, you shouldn't be selling popsicles anymore, right?"

"You must listen to me on this matter. I'll make further arrangements after I've considered everything carefully. You've worked hard these past few days, so just stay home and rest for a while. πŸ’€β˜Ί βž…βžˆSΠ½Η—Λ£.π“’ο½Ξœ πŸŽƒβ˜"

The payment for the first issue of "The Devotion of Suspect X" has recently come in. The payment is quite good this time, much more than for "The Rural Teacher."

As expected, longer novels are more profitable.

Li Haoyu casually pulled a cloth bag out of his pocket, inside which were his royalties.

"Is this for me?"

Zheng Juan took the cloth bag.

She was about to open it when Li Haoyu stopped her.

Li Haoyu said, "These are all things that can't be shown in the light of day. You can only open them when you get home at night and hide under the covers."

Zheng Juan blushed and hummed in agreement.

Just then, someone else came to buy popsicles, and she didn't have time to communicate with Li Haoyu. Zheng Juan carefully placed the cloth bag in the inner pocket of her arms.

"What flavor of popsicle do you want?"

…………

The two worked hard for several hours.

Finally, I emptied out the whole box of popsicles.

By this time, Li Haoyu was also exhausted. He tried asking Zheng Juan again, "It's still early, why don't you come home with me for a meal?"

"No need, your house is too far away. I'm not really hungry, I'll just make myself something to eat when I get home."

Zheng Juan still resolutely refused.

Although she really liked Li Haoyu.

However, Zheng Juan still didn't dare to go home with Li Haoyu.

Zheng Juan even began to think that things might not just be a simple matter of having a meal. She worried that she herself might also be... eaten by Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu was not surprised by Zheng Juan's answer.

Anyway, he's been rejected more than once or twice.

It seems the timing isn't quite right yet.

Li Haoyu didn't say anything more.

He simply helped Zheng Juan pack her things quietly.

Li Haoyu suddenly asked, "Why is your face always so dirty?"

Zheng Juan did not answer immediately, but instead lowered her head shyly.

Li Haoyu shook his head. "If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then forget it?"

Zheng Juan quickly looked up, stared intently at Li Haoyu, and whispered, "My mom said girls shouldn't be too conspicuous, and when no one's around, just do a simple outfit."

Li Haoyu nodded in deep agreement.

"That's true, but I'll be here next time."

"You don't need to worry about these things anymore."

Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

Li Haoyu returned home quickly.

He had just gotten into bed when...

Li Haoyu then noticed that Li Xixi was staring at him from the side.

Li Xixi couldn't help but say, "Did you go and cause trouble for Sister Zheng Juan again? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Li Haoyu sneered dismissively upon hearing this.

"Why are you worrying so much about trivial matters when you're just a little girl who hasn't even grown any hair yet?"

Hearing Li Haoyu say this, Li Xixi said, "I was right after all. Otherwise, why would you, a lazybones, get up so early in the morning? There's no other reason than a woman."

Li Haoyu nodded. "So what? Kids shouldn't worry about adult matters. Just focus on reviewing your academic subjects."

"Don't wait until you get into school and can't even keep up with the most basic academic subjects, that would be truly embarrassing."

Li Haoyu didn't want to talk to Li Xixi.

In his eyes, Li Xixi was simply a foodie.

But her constant chattering around me was really annoying. It was like having a mosquito... no, a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing incessantly in your ear.

After thinking about it, Li Haoyu decided to deal with Li Xixi, the source of the noise, first.

He waved for Li Xixi to come closer.

She rejected him.

Li Xixi said, "Don't point fingers at me. If you have something to say, say it. I look down on you for acting like this."

Li Haoyu didn't say much, and took out a bottle of canned yellow peaches from his pocket.

"It's a pity that some people don't appreciate your delicious food. It seems I'll have to enjoy it all by myself."

Upon seeing this, Li Xixi immediately came over.

"You know me well, I was just joking. You're a magnanimous person, I'm sure you won't hold a grudge against a kid like me."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "You can take the things, but there's one thing you have to promise me first."

Li Xixi nodded without hesitation.

Her hand was already on the can. "Of course, just say it without hesitation."

Li Haoyu didn't let go, but said calmly, "Xixi, do you know you have another girlfriend?"

Li Xixi was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.

She thought it was a slip of the tongue by Li Haoyu.

Li Xixi said with certainty.

"Aren't you talking about Zheng Juan? Although I don't quite understand, it's a personal matter. It's a matter of mutual consent, so there's nothing to say..."

Li Xixi kept talking and even started to express her opinion.

At this point, Li Haoyu was too lazy to listen anymore.

He decisively interrupted Li Xixi, "It's not Zheng Juan, she's just one of my girlfriends. I have another girlfriend named Zhou Rong."

"What, you have another girlfriend?"

Even Li Xixi couldn't hold back anymore.

She never expected Li Haoyu to be this kind of person.

Li Xixi glanced at Li Haoyu again, unwilling to give up.

He received an affirmative nod.

This time, even the canned yellow peaches in Li Xixi's hand didn't taste good anymore.

Li Xixi's mouth was wide open.

She also put down the canned yellow peaches she had been longing for. Li Xixi sighed helplessly, "It seems I won't be able to enjoy them this time either; this kind of thing goes against my principles."

Li Haoyu smiled.

"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything this time. Next time you see any of them, just pretend you know nothing."

"This has absolutely nothing to do with you."

"I did it all by myself."

Li Haoyu noticed that Li Xixi was not saying anything.

He stuffed the canned yellow peaches into Li Xixi's hand.

Li Haoyu saw that Li Xixi still looked completely dumbfounded.

He continued, "I used to have a girlfriend, and you didn't believe me. But you're quite quick to accept it now."

Li Xixi rolled her eyes helplessly.

"I used to think that people had a sense of shame, but now I think I was wrong."

Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Li Haoyu said, "How about I take everything back, and you just pretend nothing happened?"

"Don't touch my cans."

Li Xixi shook her head. "Anyway, you're the one going to hell, so what do I have to worry about? Since you've given it to me, don't even think about taking it back."

After saying that, Li Xixi didn't want to look at Li Haoyu again.

She immediately went to twist the can open in a huff.

She desperately needed canned peaches to soothe her wounded heart. But whether it was because Li Xixi's hand slipped or because she was too weak, she didn't know.

Even though she had been patting and hitting the bottom of the can.

I even tried to unscrew the bottle cap through my clothes.

But the canned yellow peaches remained motionless.

It was as if they were mocking Li Xixi for all her efforts being in vain.

Li Haoyu smiled and took the canned food from Li Xixi's hand.

He twisted the can open with a gentle twist.

It couldn't be easier. In Li Haoyu's hands and in Li Xixi's hands, they seemed to be two completely opposite extremes.

Li Haoyu said sincerely, "This is indeed my fault, and it's normal that you can't accept it right away."

"But now you're probably my only family, so no matter what happens, I still hope you can support me."

This time, it was Li Xixi who didn't react.

Because in her eyes, Li Haoyu had never backed down.

Li Xixi, on the other hand, didn't know how to answer.

"you……"

Li Xixi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Actually, I'm quite grateful to you; you've really changed a lot of things. I might have gone a bit too far just now."

Li Haoyu smiled and pointed to the canned goods on the table.

"You should eat quickly. Besides, even if something goes wrong, it's entirely my decision. I'm an adult now, and I'll take responsibility for my decisions."

Li Xixi originally wanted to refuse.

But the can of yellow peaches, which had already been opened, seemed to continue to emit an enticing sweet aroma.

She even felt like the canned peaches were smiling at her.

Finally, Li Xixi's defenses completely collapsed.

Li Xixi ate heartily, "I can't control what happens to the three of you. You'll have to figure it out yourselves. This world is just too crazy."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "That's enough."
