Chapter 174 Being Beaten
From then on, Da Zhuang came almost every day. He would pretend to meet Li Xiaoxiao by chance while walking on the road, or buy some small things for her, such as a hairpin, a string of candied haws, or pick a bunch of wild flowers on the way.
His series of actions made Li Xiaoxiao very annoyed. He refused to accept anything. No matter how many times she told him not to come, he just wouldn't listen. No matter how unpleasant she said the day before, Li Dazhuang would still appear in front of her the next day.
There were a few other times when Si Chengxu was there, and Li Dazhuang greeted him. At first, Si Chengxu would nod his head as a sign of agreement, but as they met more and more often, he ignored him and just walked away.
Li Dazhuang didn't seem to care about this: "Xiaoxiao, your cousin doesn't seem to like me very much."
"Da Zhuang, I've told you many times, don't come here again. If you continue like this, we won't even be friends anymore." Li Xiaoxiao had a cold face and an unhappy tone. If it weren't for the fact that they had some friendship in the past, she would have taken action long ago. She would not have allowed him to come here to disgust her again and again.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. I'm not doing anything. I just came to see you." Li Dazhuang looked hurt.
"Da Zhuang, you are the only son in the family. The whole family has high hopes for you. What you do is meaningless. A man should have ambitions, but you put all your attention on love affairs. I look down on you." Li Xiaoxiao's words were quite harsh.
Li Dazhuang lowered his head with a struggle in his eyes, he understood what Li Xiaoxiao said, he felt guilty towards his parents now, he would be extra nice to them in the future, but if he gave up now, Xiaoxiao would be someone else's, Xiaoxiao was so outstanding, if Si Chengxu wasn't there, there would be other men, so he could only do this.
Even though she is so annoyed with him now, he believes that sincerity can move mountains and rocks. As long as he keeps persisting, Xiaoxiao will be moved one day and will accept him.
Li Dazhuang didn't come for two days. Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and thought he would never come again. But he came again on the third day.
Li Xiaoxiao walked around him and left. No matter how Li Dazhuang shouted at her, she walked away without looking back and went straight into the restaurant. Li Dazhuang didn't dare to follow her in. He had been guarding outside the Longmen Restaurant for so many days and had never gone in once.
"Xiaoxiao, this Li Dazhuang, could it be that his brain has been kicked by a donkey? Who can stand this every day?" Damao sighed as he looked at Li Dazhuang's eager eyes as he stood outside the door.
"Who knows what's wrong with him." Li Xiaoxiao's originally good mood disappeared without a trace when she saw Li Dazhuang.
"You're the only one who has been tolerating him. If it were someone else, they would have taken action against him long ago." Ergou couldn't stand it any more. It had been going on for so many days, and he and others were tired of it, let alone Li Xiaoxiao.
"If he comes again, I will go find his parents and ask them to take good care of him." If Li Xiaoxiao used force, it would only take a few minutes for Li Dazhuang to be beaten. But after all, they were best friends in the past. Even though he knew they would have no contact in the future, he did not want to become his enemy.
Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's resolute back, Li Dazhuang felt his heart was about to break again. Why could she be so cruel and not even look at him?
Well then, if all else fails he will go find Si Chengxu. When they arrived outside the tofu shop, Li Dazhuang found an inconspicuous spot.
After following him for many days, he found out that Si Chengxu's time of leaving the shop was not fixed every day, sometimes early, sometimes late, and sometimes he was not seen all day. He seemed to be very busy, but he always came and went alone. He followed him several times, but for some reason, he always lost him in the end.
I waited outside for a long time and didn't dare leave to eat lunch for fear of missing Si Chengxu. Finally, at the hour of You, I saw Si Chengxu coming out of the tofu shop.
He is tall, handsome, and serious. He is the kind of person who can be noticed at a glance in a crowd. He always has a cold face and seems to be a thousand miles away from people.
Li Dazhuang had been waiting for a whole day and was already starving. When he saw him come out, he immediately followed him, walking not too far behind him.
I had thought about the lines countless times in my mind, but the moment I saw him, I completely forgot them. I wanted to call out to him several times, but I didn't have the courage.
Seeing Si Chengxu walking faster and faster, he knew from past experience that he was about to lose him again, so he hurriedly called out, "Mr. Si, please stay."
The voice was so small that even he could hardly hear it clearly. Si Chengxu, who was far away from him, actually stopped and turned back to look at him. A cold voice sounded: "Master Li, do you want to ask me something?"
"I, I." Li Dazhuang didn't know what to say for a moment: "Ah, yes."
Si Chengxu just stood there quietly, not urging him.
Li Dazhuang cleared his throat awkwardly: "What is the relationship between Mr. Si and Xiaoxiao?"
"What's my relationship with her? Does it have anything to do with you?" A hint of sneer appeared on Si Chengxu's lips.
"Xiaoxiao and I are friends, so of course it has something to do with me." This sentence left Li Dazhuang speechless, his face flushed, and he hesitated for a long time before he uttered this sentence.
"Then go ask her. You are friends, I'm sure she will tell you everything."
"I..." Li Dazhuang wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start. He was angry and anxious. He didn't know why, but he always had an inexplicable sense of oppression when facing Si Chengxu, so much so that he forgot everything he wanted to say.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I like Xiaoxiao, give her to me."
After saying this, her face turned red and she didn't dare to look at Si Chengxu.
"So you've been following me for all these days just for this."
"You knew I was following you, but you didn't tell me..." Li Dazhuang looked incredulous.
"I knew it since the first day you followed me." Si Chengxu rarely had the patience to tell him so much.
"Xiaoxiao is an individual and she has her own ideas. If you are good enough, she will naturally respect you. You can't just give in to her because of what others say." After saying that, Si Chengxu strode away.
Li Dazhuang stared at his back blankly and thought a lot. Just from Si Chengxu's appearance, he was much better than him. And the way he was dressed, it was obvious that he was a kid from a wealthy family. What could he, a village family, do to compete with him?
Originally, their family had been indebted to Li Xiaoxiao, but now the favor is long gone. Why should she look at him differently? Li Xiaoxiao's cold eyes for many days, coupled with Si Chengxu's words just now, made him feel extremely depressed.
He had no way to vent his pain, and suddenly remembered what Li Jiaojiao said. Perhaps this was his last chance.
Li Dazhuang was beaten and seriously injured. The next morning, Li Laosan brought the news when he delivered beans.
"This child has been a peaceful and calm child since childhood. What happened? Did he have a fight with someone?" Sun asked hurriedly.
