Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"Yes, of course. We have rosewood desks and camphor screens." Lou Xiao'e took out melon seeds from her pocket and started eating them.

Li Dongfang could not sit still after hearing that. He had even asked You Fengxia to secretly purchase goods from everywhere. What was the point of doing that? Why not just buy from the supply and marketing cooperatives directly? Besides, the goods came from legitimate sources, so there was no need to worry about being investigated.

Li Dongfang stood up and pulled Lou Xiaoe to leave. Lou Xiaoe was almost pulled to the ground by him. She twisted her wrist twice to shake off Li Dongfang's grasp and pouted: "What are you doing? You almost pulled me down. There are plenty of those things in the supply and marketing cooperative. There are many people selling them now, but no one is buying them. Why are you so anxious?"

Li Dongfang sat down again after hearing this. He also took out a handful of caramel-flavored Qia Qia melon seeds from his pocket and handed them to Lou Xiaoe, saying, "Does the supply and marketing cooperative really have these things? How come I have never seen them before?"

Lou Xiao'e took the melon seeds and ate one, then immediately put her own seeds back into her pocket and started eating the ones Li Dongfang handed over. "Why are your melon seeds better than mine? Where did you buy them?"

Obviously, those broken furniture in Lou Xiao'e's eyes were not as attractive as Li Dongfang's handful of melon seeds.

"It was given to me by others. If you like it, I can give you some later. You haven't answered my question about the furniture yet."

"You said so. I really like eating sunflower seeds. You have to give me more."

"Okay." Li Dongfang agreed quickly.

"That's about right." Lou Xiao'e said with satisfaction, "The furniture takes up too much space. It's all piled up in the shed in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative. If you want to buy it, you have to go in from outside."

Hearing the words "pile" and "greenhouse", Li Dongfang felt his heart bleeding, as if he saw a ton of money being left there to slowly mold and rot.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Dongfang's distressed expression and wanted to laugh, "Do you like old things so much?"

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes at her. What do you mean I just like old things? "If you don't move, these things will contain..."

"Okay, don't explain so much. If you like it, I can ask around for you. There are many places willing to sell it. I guarantee it's better than the ones sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price is cheaper." Lou Xiao'e was not interested in cultural heritage or anything like that.

"Really?" Li Dongfang excitedly grabbed Lou Xiao'e's hand.

"You...let me go..." Lou Xiao'e blushed instantly.

Only then did Li Dongfang realize that Lou Xiao'e's small hand was in his hand. It was warm, soft, and well maintained. Not to mention calluses, there was not even dead skin.

"Hehe..." Li Dongfang not only did not let go, he also gently pinched it twice.

"You... hooligan..." Lou Xiao'e blushed.

"Don't you like me holding your hand?" Li Dongfang said while playing with his jade-like fingers.

Lou Xiao'e bit her lip and said, "Do you... like... me?"

"Of course, Miss Lou is so beautiful." Li Dongfang answered directly without hesitation.

Lou Xiao'e looked up at Li Dongfang with a red face. They could both smell each other's scent. When she met Li Dongfang's eyes, Lou Xiao'e closed her eyes out of shame, feeling Li Dongfang gradually approaching.

Li Dongfang stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of melon seed skin off Lou Xiaoe's lips. Lou Xiaoe immediately opened her mouth and looked at the melon seed skin on Li Dongfang's hand. She was immediately embarrassed and reached out to hit Li Dongfang's chest. While hitting, she said shyly: "I hate you, I hate you so much."

At this point, Li Dongfang should have kissed her directly, but he didn't. It's not that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare. At least not for the time being. Although Lou Xiao'e had a bad background, she was now the daughter of a patriotic entrepreneur. If he kissed her without giving a clear explanation, Lou Bancheng would not let him go easily.

After checking Lou Xiaoe’s favorability level at 80, I decided not to eat it after much hesitation. I decided to wait a little longer. Good things are worth waiting for.

"My mother wants me to go on a blind date again." After playing around for a while, Lou Xiao'e spoke softly.

Li Dongfang certainly knew what she meant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao'e, I understand what you mean. I like you very much, but we have only known each other for a short time. It is better for us to get to know each other better."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly raised her head and asked, "Do you have anyone else with you? I heard that the girl in the steel mill is always around you. And that Doctor Ding, are you having an affair with her?!"

Li Dongfang was stunned by the sudden accusation. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "That's right. My charm is not just talk. Not to mention other people, even our beautiful Miss Lou can't resist it."

"Hate it, who can't resist it!" Although she didn't give a clear reply, she heard him say that she was beautiful, and pouted her lips and said, "I knew you would attract many women. At most... at most, we will get married in the future, and I... I will just turn a blind eye."

Cough cough cough~~! Li Dongfang choked on his own saliva. How could they get married when nothing happened? And they even opened their eyes... It seemed like a good thing...

"Ah? This...is not good..." Li Dongfang really didn't know how to answer.

"Hmph~ I don't know what you men are like. You think I don't know. My dad is away... Anyway, that's how it is, but you have to put me first!" Lou Xiao'e pouted and said aggrievedly.

Li Dongfang agreed with that thought. After all, it was normal for people to have three wives and four concubines before liberation. Even now, it was impossible for Lou Bancheng to have only one woman, Mrs. Lou. It was not surprising that Lou Xiao'e thought so.

However, there was one thing that Lou Xiao'e didn't know. Li Dongfang had not considered getting married in the short term, at least not before the reform and opening up. It would be too conspicuous for him to have contact with other women after getting married.

I still say that, as long as I don't get married, it's not illegal for me to have more girlfriends, provided that the parties involved don't sue him, otherwise the crime of having promiscuous relationships is a serious one.

The most important thing is that the woman must be dealt with, just like Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e in the original drama. They were all having affairs openly and no one reported them, so in the end, nothing happened.

In the future, you either have to have a high favorability level or explain things clearly. You absolutely cannot get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. Only those who are acceptable will be accepted into the room. As for the first place, everyone is the first place, okay?

After thinking this through, Li Dongfang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. As long as he didn't hit a home run, he wasn't afraid of anyone.

He pinched Lou Xiao'e's chin and said, "Thank you."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned. Li Dongfang had already left her lips. Seeing the smile in Li Dongfang's eyes, she immediately regretted that she had not savored her first kiss carefully. She was so shy that she directly rested her head on Li Dongfang's chest.

Lou Xiao'e was soon attracted by the various strange snacks and drinks that Li Dongfang brought out. "Oh! Your milk is so strange. It even has bubbles. It tastes so good."

Li Dongfang smiled without explanation. The bubble fruit milk was a toy for children.
