Pretending to be cute

In the comfortable western restaurant, the violin music is played slowly, and there is a sweeping night view of the river by the window, which is as deep as the red wine in the glass.

Neither of them spoke, and there was only the sound of the collision of knives and forks for a while.

"Not to your liking?" Perhaps because Xiao Ling didn't cut steak very much, the woman sitting directly opposite her raised her head and asked softly.

Xiao Ling shook his head and apologized: "No, it's delicious."

Ever since I met Li Mi, except for going to school and being separated from Li Mi, Xiao Ling basically overlaps with Li Mi at other times, and only eats three meals a day at lunch.

However, it may be that the relationship has changed from "getting along day and night" to "strangers I haven't seen before", and the feeling of eating this meal is very different.

For example, if Xiao Ling said that in the past, Li Mi would definitely be able to tell that something was wrong with Xiao Ling, but now Li Mi hummed and stopped talking.

Xiao Ling didn't know whether she should be happy about this relationship based on equality, or should be disappointed that Li Mi was not the one she was thinking of.

Li Mi glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Miss Xiao."

Hearing this address, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, feeling very subtle: "What?"

"Perhaps, your steak should be well-done instead of well-done, so that the meat is tender and it will be easier to cut." Li Mi looked at Xiao Ling's slightly strenuous cutting action, and said calmly.

Xiao Ling smiled: "I understand what you mean, it's just that I don't like to eat raw food. Seven-ripe steaks are bloodshot. I can't accept it."

Li Mi nodded and asked again: "Then do you like steak?"

Xiao Ling paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "I like it, but I eat it fully cooked in a western restaurant, which will always attract people's attention. As time goes by, I seldom come to eat it."

Li Mi ate the last piece of beef on the fork, wiped his mouth gracefully with a piece of paper, and said, "I've researched a trick for cutting a well-done steak. If Miss Xiao doesn't mind, why don't I demonstrate it?"

Xiao Ling naturally wouldn't reject Li Mi's kindness, and she was really curious about this so-called trick: "Of course I don't mind."

Li Mi took Xiao Ling's plate, asked the waiter to get a brand new set of tableware, and cut a large piece of steak into small pieces of beef in two or three strokes. aesthetically pleasing.

As if this wasn't a well-done steak.

"Miss Xiao, it's all right."

Xiao Ling looked at it without blinking, until Li Mi pushed the plate over and called her softly, she came back to her senses: "It's not a trick, why did you cut everything..."

Li Mi took a sip of the red wine and said without apology: "I accidentally finished cutting it, sorry."

Xiao Ling: "..."

How did she feel the ridicule?

Xiao Ling picked up the fork, and was a little depressed at first, but a fork is a piece of meat, which is too convenient for lazy people. She fully enjoyed the good taste of well-cooked beef, and didn't notice the flashing smile in the eyes of the person opposite.

When Xiao Ling finished eating, and finally turned his eyes from the plate back to Li Mi, he realized that Li Mi was looking at her with an unclear expression.

Xiao Ling thought that the corner of his mouth was still stained with sauce, subconsciously picked up the paper and wiped the corner of his mouth again.Seeing that the paper was clean, she looked at her top and skirt again.

If she didn't get dirty, she shouldn't look ugly?

"very nice."

Xiao Ling raised her head, Li Mi seemed to have seen through her thoughts just now, and repeated: "Miss Xiao is very beautiful, I have seen it before..."

She thought about the wording, and then said: "The most beautiful girl."

As long as it is a girl, there is no one who does not like to be praised, and Xiao Ling is not surprised.It's just that besides being happy, she soon felt an inexplicable displeasure: "The outside world says Mr. Li is aloof and expensive, and he's not easy to get close to, but in my opinion, Ms. Li is very good at making girls happy."

In fact, although Xiao Ling told Xiao Xun that she likes Li Mi, what she likes is Li Mi in her own world, not this familiar stranger.

Her elder sister Li was dumb and dumb before she got enlightened, how could she be so talkative?Thinking of this, Xiao Ling lost interest and began to regret what he said to Xiao Xun before that he wanted to get married.

Seeing Xiao Ling's half-smile expression, Li Mi pondered for a moment, and said: "Miss Xiao may have misunderstood, what the outside world said is not all lies, I am really not good at making girls happy. I just...tell the truth."

Xiao Ling tilted his head: "So, I can understand that Mr. Li has given me any privileges? For example, as long as he is in front of me, he will tell the truth?"

Li Mi laughed, but did not refute: "What if I say yes?"

Xiao Ling looked at Li Mi with great interest, as if seeing another person's shadow through her: "Okay, then I really want to ask Mr. Li, why is it me instead of me who came here?" Brother Xiao Xun?"

Li Mi raised his eyebrows, as if he just remembered this matter: "Of course I'm curious. It seems that Miss Xiao is willing to explain my doubts?"

Xiao Ling nodded: "The reason is very simple, because I didn't want you to be with my brother, so I ruined this disguised blind date. But Mr. Li has a noble status, and I don't want to ruin the cooperative relationship between Mingxiao and Hongjiang..."

There is no need to say more about the rest, Li Mi also understands.

Originally, Li Mi was prepared to get angry, ask questions, or leave with a cold face on the spot, but Li Mi's expression did not change, and he said: "That is to say, Miss Xiao understands the meaning of tonight's meal, so I'd better come Got an appointment."

Xiao Ling blinked, not quite understanding Li Mi's meaning: "Yes. Because I think that a self-improving person like Mr. Li must be very troubled by this sudden marriage. Don't worry, I will talk about it on the parents' side. , about you and brother..."

But Li Mi interrupted her: "The marriage was proposed on my own initiative."

Xiao Ling frowned: "What?"

Even though this Li Mi is not the person she likes, the unhappiness that has not disappeared before is still doubled: "Do you like my brother?"

Li Mi was noncommittal.

In Xiao Ling's eyes, this posture was the default. She suppressed her annoyance and said, "No, you can't like my brother."

This time, Li Mi asked with great interest: "Why? The Xiao family and the Li family are well-matched. I am also satisfied with Xiao Xun's achievements, appearance and temperament. Why can't I like him?"

Xiao Ling secretly rolled his eyes.

Li Mi from another world is with her, but Li Mi from this world is getting mixed up with her brother, how does she deal with it?What's the matter, can she still call her sister-in-law sweetly in the face of her lover?

Her heart is not so big.

Naturally, I couldn't talk to Li Mi about these words, so Xiao Ling held back for a long time, and said coldly: "According to Mr. Li, as long as the conditions are right, a man and a woman who are well-matched can be together? I don't care about others, but my brother can't. "

"Really can not?"

"No, no, no."

Li Mi was not angry, and said slowly: "Miss Xiao, I have a bad habit, that is, I like to break the casserole and ask the end. If you can't give me a reason, it is really hard for me to give up."

Xiao Ling: "..."

Xiao Ling: "I hate you, is that a reason?"

Li Mi squinted his eyes slightly, and for the first time there was a relatively large fluctuation on his calm face, as if he was confirming the truth of Xiao Ling's words: "Why?"

"...I have the right to remain silent."

Li Mi sighed: "Okay. But, I have to tell Ms. Xiao some bad news. I have promised my parents this marriage, and I am not going to give up the marriage."

Xiao Ling was almost killed by this anger: "You! Are you playing with me?!"

The kitten blew up.

Li Mi held back his laughter, and changed his voice: "Although the Xiao family and the Li family are destined to marry, there is one thing that can be changed."

Xiao Ling wished he could scratch Li Mi's paw: "Don't be tricky, just say it!"

Li Mi drank the red wine in his glass and stared quietly at Xiao Ling, like a hunter seeing his prey: "The one I want to marry."

Xiao Ling: "...huh?"

Li Mi smiled and said, "I thought I made it obvious, Miss Xiao. I want to marry you, or rather, I want to chase you and get married again."

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded.

Li Mi came over, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand tenderly: "As long as you marry me, I will cut steak for you forever."

What kind of marriage proposal is this?

Xiao Ling was still in a daze, Li Mi got closer, leaned down, held Xiao Ling's face in his arms, and kissed her lips directly in front of everyone.

What's more, Li Mi stuck out his tongue.

The feeling of this kiss was extremely real, Xiao Ling even felt the gentle possession, and the intimacy of this public place, after attracting everyone's attention, there were noisy discussions.

rogue!

Xiao Ling pushed Li Mi angrily, but he didn't push away, and was hugged back instead.Seemingly angered by Xiao Ling's resistance, that hand slid down her waist bit by bit...

Dangerous signals flickered frantically, Xiao Ling frowned, resisted panic and discomfort, and bit down hard on the soft things that were haunting his mouth.

"what!"

After a shrill scream, everything in front of him turned into a distorted scene and shattered.

Xiao Ling found that he was back on the bed again, but this bed was no longer the bed in the old house, but more like the bed before crossing.Not only that, the bed sheets are no longer too girly pink, the ceiling, bed curtains...

The most unbelievable thing for her was that there was a person curled up in the place where the big bear pillow used to be, and a small bump was bulging.

A section of long black hair was exposed, a faint lemon scent, an overly familiar figure, and a relationship with her in the same bed... All these faintly declared the identity of this person.

Xiao Ling patted his face and murmured: "Could it be that I'm wearing it back again? Or is it all a dream?"

With her beloved by her side, Xiao Ling belatedly realized that no matter whether everything before was really time-traveling or just a dream, she almost lost her lover.

Xiao Ling broke out in a cold sweat.

She couldn't help hugging the curled up person, she was extremely grateful: "Tiantian, I almost lost sight of you, it's okay, it's okay, I'm back again. Otherwise, what would you do alone..."

The person she was hugging kept trembling, and moved away from the bed, talking in a very low voice.

Xiao Ling didn't want to let go of Li Mi, and pulled the man from Nouyuan back into his arms, and rubbed his smooth snowy back nostalgicly: "What's wrong? Don't run away, let me hug again."

This time Li Mi was obedient and stopped sliding out, but he was still trembling.

"What's the matter? Is it cold?"

Xiao Ling became more and more puzzled, and pulled the quilt higher to cover the two of them.Then leaned over to Li Mi's front, but saw Li Mi covering his face, as if... crying?

The two lived together for a long time, and Li Mi hardly ever cried.

After crying like this, Xiao Ling immediately became anxious, and didn't dare to break Li Mi's face, so he could only pat Li Mi's back, and asked softly: "Sister Li, what's the matter? Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here."

Hearing this, Li Mi stopped for a moment, then trembled more violently, and the whimpering became more obvious.

Xiao Ling: "..."

She whispered: "Did I make you angry? Yes, you just nod, no, you just shake your head."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Mi nodded, then shook his head again.

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, both funny and helpless: "Then you are crying because it has something to do with me? It's just that you are not angry?"

This time, Li Mi nodded.

Xiao Ling knew that Li Mi always had a lot of burdens, and he would definitely not want to let her see him after crying, but he was worried, so he had to change a roundabout tactic: "Tiantian, I was wrong, let me kiss, okay?"

Li Mi doesn't move, pretending to be dead.

Xiao Ling continued to act coquettishly: "Sister Li, let me kiss you."

"..."

"Sister, baby, I want to kiss you."

"..."

"Wife, then you kiss me?"

This title seemed to flip a certain switch, Li Mi gradually let go of his hand, because the bed was too stuffy, got out of the bed, and turned his head to the right, like a silent accusation.

With the help of the orange light, Xiao Ling saw that Li Mi was indeed crying, with a few teardrops hanging from the corners of his eyes, sobbing from time to time, looking pitiful.

This huge contrast made Xiao Ling's heart tremble.She kissed the corner of Li Mi's lips, kissed and kissed pitifully, apologizing: "I made a mistake, and I will definitely not do it next time."

Li Mi was almost comforted at first, but when he heard this next time, he twisted his eyebrows angrily: "You...do you want another time?"

This sentence was full of anger and vague, and several words were unclear, as if she was acting like a baby.

Xiao Ling's heart melted: "No, no, there will be no next time, I was wrong."

Li Mi snorted, but his words were still vague: "You, where did you go wrong?"

Xiao Ling doesn't know where she is wrong, but as long as Li Mi doesn't cry, she will admit everything: "I am wrong everywhere, wrong wrong wrong, everything is wrong."

"Perfunctory, perfunctory."

"I don't." Xiao Ling kissed Li Mi's earlobe flatteringly, and then said strangely: "Sister Li, I wanted to ask just now, why are you stuttering?"

Li Mi was silent for a long time.

Xiao Ling realized that he had stepped on a thunderbolt again, and just about to admit his mistake to coax others, he heard Li Mi say aggrievedly: "You scolded, you scolded me for being a hooligan, and you still bit my tongue."

Xiao Ling: "..."

It turned out to be really biting.

Li Mi took a deep breath: "I said I wanted to chase you, but you just, you just scolded me, and said I won't propose or marry me."

The more she talked, the more sad she became, her eyes were red: "What, what did you say that I don't want me to cut the steak. I thought you like, like eating steak, but you have been lying to me."

Xiao Ling: "..."

Help, where would she explain better.

Looking at the brightly colored red string on the wrist of the person in his arms, Xiao Ling's expression changed.Rather than explaining, she would rather decisively solve the most essential problems.

"Sister Li."

Xiao Ling hooked Li Mi's finger, and asked with a smile: "I remember, you have already proposed to me, and I have clearly agreed to you. So, when will we hold the wedding?"

"I really want to marry you soon."
