"Auntie, what should I do with these leftovers?"
After the three of them finished their dinner, Amei took the initiative to clear away the dishes.
"There's only so much left of each dish, so just throw it out." My aunt took a look at the leftovers and said as she started to look for garbage bags.
"Then can I pack it up and take it back? Put it together and it can be used as a dish." Amei said softly.
Li Qing was originally very satisfied with Ruan Mei. Although he sat on the small sofa and pretended to watch TV, his attention was focused on Ruan Mei.
Hearing her say this, I was surprised. This must be too frugal.
Li Qing was surprised, but he didn't look away, otherwise the two of them would be embarrassed together.
"I'll find you a lunch box."
The aunt did not refuse or say anything else, but answered in a small voice.
Trying not to let Li Qing hear it, fearing that A Qing would have a bad impression of Ruan Mei because of this, her aunt turned directly to the kitchen, found a lunch box, washed it and gave it to Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei brought the remaining dishes into the kitchen before starting to pack them.
Seeing that Ruan Mei had packed everything, her aunt turned back to the living room and said to Li Qing.
"Ah Qing, please send Amei to a ride."
The aunt was creating opportunities for Li Qing to be alone.
"Auntie, let me wash the dishes for you before you leave."
Ruan Mei still wanted to help, but was pushed back to the living room by her aunt.
"No, no, Auntie can handle it by herself. Go back quickly and let Ah Qing see you off. It's not safe at night."
The aunt began to wink at Li Qing.
Understood, received, Auntie is so kind.
Li Qing calmly pretended to be a big-tailed wolf, stood up and changed into clothes before going out.
Without giving Ruan Mei a chance to refuse, he snatched the things from Ruan Mei's hand, opened the door on his own initiative, and stood outside the door waiting for Ruan Mei to come out.
"Auntie, thank you for today's dinner."
Ruan Mei bowed slightly to her aunt before going out.
"That's nice and polite."
With an aunty smile on her face, her aunt watched the two of them go down the stairs.
······
Along the way, Li Qing always let Ruan Mei go first and followed Ruan Mei half a step behind.
The two of them walked slowly on the road like this. Li Qing always wanted to wait for Ruan Mei to speak, but unfortunately he didn't.
It seems that I can only take the initiative myself.
"You live far away, right?"
Li Qing started to look for words.
"Um."
There was silence for two minutes.
"How many people are there in your family?" Li Qing began to try to find a topic again.
"Grandma and I."
There was another silence, and two minutes passed.
"Are you tired from working every day?"
"good."
Li Qing felt that the atmosphere was awkward and a bit awkward. Didn't this Ruan Mei have a crush on herself?
Every time Li Qing asked a question, Ruan Mei answered with only a few words.
Should I do something to break the awkward atmosphere?
After Li Qing asked a few questions, he really didn't know what to ask. The last two people just walked in silence.
Ruan Mei didn't stop even though she had already passed several stop signs, and Li Qing certainly wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.
"Hey, pretty girl, come over and play with brother." Several gangsters saw Li Qing and Ruan Mei.
Probably due to the weak light emitted by the street lamp, when he saw Ruan Mei's face, he shouted and whistled.
【I really thank you. 】 Li Qing was extremely happy. He didn't have to be embarrassed anymore. It seemed that the little gangster was not useless. For example, he was very useful at this time.
Seeing these gangsters walking this way, Li Qing quickly took a step forward and stood in front of Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei was not afraid and scolded a few gangsters loudly.
"You bunch of little bastards, get out of here, or I'll call the police and have you taken to jail."
When Li Qing heard it, his angry voice sounded so pleasant, and she was indeed the woman he liked.
"You street boy, get out of here, or I'll blow your head off."
The leader of the gangster threatened Li Qing with an arrogant look.
Li Qing ignored him and started to pretend to be deaf and dumb, watching these gangsters perform.
"Get out of the way quickly, or I'll make you look good." The leader of the gang, and the gangsters next to him also started to threaten.
Li Qing still didn't speak, because Li Qing hadn't made up his mind yet on how to deal with it.
If I open my mouth to threaten directly and be more arrogant than them, will Amei think that I am rude?
Begging for mercy is something I did a lot in my previous life when I was living in poverty, and it’s not impossible to do it now. Will it make Amei think that I am just showing up and can’t even protect a woman?
It doesn't seem possible to take action directly. Amei must think that I am a violent man and will domestically abuse her in the future.
In the end, Li Qing decided to remain unchanged in response to all changes and said nothing.
【Um? Feng Yuxiu. 】Li Qing saw Feng Yuxiu eating at a roadside stall out of the corner of his eye.
His eyes also caught sight of Li Qing, and he seemed to want to stand up and help.
Do I need your help? You are such a cripple and you have Ah Xue following you wholeheartedly. I am still single. If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I will look back and see if I will slap you.
Li Qing quickly used the voice transmission to Feng Yuxiu.
"Go and ask the police to come over. Don't come over."
When Feng Yuxiu heard this, he was very surprised. He looked around and saw that only A Xue was nearby, but the voice he heard was obviously not A Xue's.
"You're just looking at me. I'm Li Qing. I'm going to compete with you this afternoon. Go call the police. If you dare to mess around, I'll beat you to death next time."
Li Qing's voice was impatient, but his face didn't show it.
This time Feng Yuxiu didn't hesitate anymore. He said something to A Xue and walked quickly to the other side of the street alone to find the police.
"Why don't you get out of the way?"
The leading gangster became impatient and raised his fist directly at Li Qing's face.
Li Qing thought that he couldn't let Amei see it, so he turned around quickly and hugged Ruan Mei, blocking Ruan Mei's sight.
A punch hit Li Qing on the back of the head, but Li Qing didn't move at all.
"You're quite brave." Seeing Li Qing like this, the gangster continued to punch.
With this level of strength, it didn't even count to tickle Li Qing. Li Qing held Ruan Mei firmly and thanked these gangsters happily in his heart.
[Go on, come on, fight for a while, I will be gentler next time I meet you. 】
"Boss, get out of the way, I'll come." The gangster behind rushed over carrying a wooden stick.
Bang bang bang, the little gangster who came later hit Li Qing on the back with all his strength.
Ruan Mei also felt a little scared when she heard the sound of Li Qing being beaten. She pulled Li Qing's clothes tightly and buried her head in Li Qing's chest.
"Hiss, it smells so good." Li Qing smelled Ruan Mei's hair.
Although this pretty girl is frugal to the point of being stingy, she still keeps her hygiene very clean.
There were a few minutes, and Li Qing wanted to keep these gangsters fighting longer, but unfortunately Feng Yuxiu moved too fast.
"Toot! Toot! Toot!"
"Run, the police are coming." As soon as the gangsters heard the whistle, they immediately began to flee.
"Let's go." Li Qing lowered his head and said to Ruan Mei.
Without waiting for Ruan Mei to respond, Li Qing directly picked up Ruan Mei and ran away.
He even surpassed a few hoodlums who escaped.
