Chapter 140 The Feeling of Guilt

"Ming, what do you think of this pen?"

Ming Xiangyang looked at the black fountain pen in the glass cabinet: "It's quite nice."

Song Li looked at the salesperson and asked, "How much is this pen?"

The salesperson smiled warmly and said, "This pen is one of our store's most popular models, and it costs 128 yuan."

"Okay, wrap it up for me!"

Seeing that Song Li liked the pen, Ming Xiangyang wanted to pay for it.

Song Li stopped her, saying, "How can you pay for something that's being given to you?"

Ming Xiangyang heard that Song Li wanted to give him something.

An involuntary smile appeared on his lips.

To be honest, Song Li had never seen Ming Xiangyang smile.

He's usually cold and indifferent.

"This pen is a return gift; thank you for the gift this morning."

Ming Xiangyang's upturned lips immediately disappeared.

You're getting excited too soon.

Does she mean she doesn't want any unnecessary relationship with me?

Seeing Ming Xiangyang's suddenly flattened lips, Song Li asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Ming Xiangyang snapped out of his daze: "No, it's just that I feel like the things I gave you were just ordinary, and yet you went to such lengths."

Song Li smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. Let's reciprocate! I don't like to owe others anything."

Ming Xiangyang looked at the pen in Song Li's hand: "Okay! Thank you."

Since Ming Xiangyang has a car and also provides free labor, why not take advantage of it?

So she bought all the New Year's goods at once, instead of buying them little by little each day.

After all, it's too cold outside.

She doesn't want to go out when she's alone.

Ming Xiangyang was pleased to see Song Li ordering him around.

After all, she wasn't exactly polite to him.

The two happily bought New Year's goods.

Song Li bought his own New Year's goods and also asked Ming Xiangyang to buy his family's New Year's goods as well.

Because I bought too much stuff.

Ming Xiangyang's car will take you back later.

So Song Li called her grandfather and told him she wouldn't be coming home for dinner.

She invited Ming Xiangyang to dinner: "What would you like to eat tonight? It's on me."

Ming Xiangyang: "I'll treat!"

Song Li: "That won't do. I've been ordering you around for ages, so I have to treat you."

Ming Xiangyang: "Thank you for helping me choose clothes. I'll treat you another day."

Song Li: "Okay!"

Song Li didn't care about changing the date.

In her view, their "another day" was a distant prospect.

I haven't had steak in so long.

Song Li suggested going out for Western food.

Ming Xiangyang naturally had no objections.

It was dark by the time the two finished their meal.

There was no one in the alley at night.

There were no vendors, so you could drive in.

The car was parked at the entrance.

Song Li knocked on the door happily.

Ming Xiangyang stood beside her.

The door opened.

A towering figure loomed over Song Li.

Song Li looked up and saw them coming.

Lu Sheng.

Why did he come?

Song Li's smile vanished instantly.

Lu Sheng glanced at Song Li's ever-changing face.

She glanced at the man next to her again.

"Who is this?"

Song Li: "My classmate."

Lu Sheng: "It's too late to be out at night, it's dangerous. Come back earlier next time."

After saying that, he took the things from Ming Xiangyang's hands.

Lu Sheng cared for Song Li like family.

Song Li didn't know why?

Looking at her and Ming Xiangyang, Lu Sheng felt a sense of guilt.

The three of them slowly carried the things in together.

Finally, Lu Sheng looked at Ming Xiangyang and said, "Thank you so much, Ming, for helping my Xiaoli move her things today. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Ming Xiangyang looked at Song Li: "No need to thank me. We were high school classmates, and now we're college classmates, so our relationship is definitely different."

Ming Xiangyang could sense Lu Sheng's hostility, but so what?

He knew Song Li's situation in the Lu family.

So he's not my biological brother, there's no need to worry about it so much.

Song Li could smell a strong odor of gunpowder.

He looked at Ming and said, "Ming, it's getting late, you should go home now!"

Ming Xiangyang looked at Song Li: "Okay."

After Ming Xiangyang left.

Song Li closed the courtyard gate.

"Brother, what brings you to the capital?"

She had expected her second brother to come, but she never expected her eldest brother to come.

Lu Sheng stared blankly at Song Li: "I don't like it."

Song Li: This has nothing to do with whether you like it or not!

"No, how could that be? I was just curious."

Lu Sheng's eyes darkened: "It's cold outside, let's go inside!"

At this time of year, people have a custom of warming themselves by a fire.

Grandpa sat in the main room drinking tea, watching the expressions on the two people's faces.

Then I continued watching TV.

"It's cold outside, let's have a cup of tea to warm our stomachs first."

"it is good."

Song Li poured herself a glass, and then poured one for Lu Sheng as well.

They both sat down.

Lu Shengcai slowly opened his mouth.

"The second brother said he would come to Beijing to develop his career in the future, and since there was an opportunity in the team to come to Beijing, I applied to come to Beijing."

Song Li remembered that her second brother had mentioned that her eldest brother would have an accident in the army.

That's probably why the second brother asked the eldest brother to leave the army and come to the capital!

"Beijing is great! I'll have someone to keep me company when I'm in Beijing, brother."

Lu Sheng felt a little better after hearing this.

It seems she wasn't unhappy about my arrival.

"Is your older brother still working at the end of the year?"

"No need, I'll report for duty on the eighth day of the first lunar month."

"Oh, that's good."

Everyone chatted for a while, and it got late.

Song Li went back to her room to sleep.

Then I heard a very soft knocking sound.

Song Li didn't even need to think; it was definitely Lu Sheng.

Why can't this guy tell me something tomorrow?

Do you have trouble getting out of bed in winter?

When he opened the door, he had to look up and smile, asking, "What can I do for you, brother?"

Lu Sheng looked at Song Li's forced smile.

He handed over a package.

"It was your birthday a few days ago, this is a gift for you."

Song Li looked at the things Lu Sheng handed over.

A lump of something was wrapped in a piece of cloth.

How so?

It doesn't look appetizing at all.

Don't they even bother to wrap things up before sending them?

Although Song Li thought it was a bit of a rant, she still accepted it.

Open......

Wow......

What's going on?

Song Li looked at Lu Sheng excitedly: "Big brother, you went to rob someone?"

It was filled with gold and silver jewelry.

There are also some old items.

Although the light wasn't very bright, she could still see clearly.

Lu Sheng's face darkened.

"I don't have that hobby."

Song Li: "Big brother, are you letting me choose one?"

"It's all yours."

Song Li's eyes widened: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Sheng: "Second brother said you like it. Without you, the Lu family wouldn't be where it is today. You deserve all of this. If I come across any old items in the future, I'll keep them for you."

Song Li nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, big brother, I love you so much."

Lu Sheng's face, which had been serious, changed.

Her ears turned red instantly.

She said she loves herself.

Song Li was too excited, so she didn't realize how solemn it was to say "I love you" in this simple and honest era.

I'm so excited!

So he didn't care about Lu Sheng's expression at all.

Of course, you can't see anything under this light.
