Li Qian smiled and said, "No matter what, we’re allies now. Can’t I be concerned about you?"
"I’m fine."
"Tell me the truth, are you really not going to be with Xiao Lang? If you have any hesitation, I’ll step back immediately."
Li Mingxi looked at him, "Is it that you want to step back?"
Li Qian’s smile faded, "No. This is how I’ll be for the rest of my life, no women for me, but I have to marry. I just don’t want to harm you."
Li Mingxi suddenly laughed, "Haha, haha..."
"Don’t laugh like that, it’s kinda creepy."
Yet Li Mingxi couldn’t stop laughing.
She laughed for a long time until tears came out and she slowly stopped.
Li Qian handed her a tissue, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Mingxi wiped her tears and laughed, "I just find it a coincidence that your situation is just like mine. In my life, there won’t be any men either, yet I have to marry. I also don’t want to harm you."
Li Qian fell silent.
In his eyes, Li Mingxi was undoubtedly a very outstanding woman.
She was a favored daughter of heaven, everyone would bow before her.
But he didn’t understand why she was in this situation too.
Li Qian’s situation was due to experiencing too much, leaving him weary and indifferent.
But what about Li Mingxi?
What had she been through?
Li Qian couldn’t help but hold Li Mingxi’s hand and said in a deep, firm voice,
"Alright then, from today onwards, we will be each other’s support."
Just a special kind of support, unrelated to love.
Li Mingxi glanced at him and smiled, "Thank you."
Li Qian released her hand, "You’re welcome. I help you, you help me, we’re even."
Li Mingxi gazed out the window, not telling Li Qian that her thank you meant much more.
She was genuinely grateful to have him when she was at her most helpless.
...
Li Qian took Li Mingxi out for a meal and then to see a movie.
Sitting in the theater, Li Mingxi stared at the screen but didn’t take in anything.
Li Qian offered her popcorn, "Have some."
"No, thank you."
"Want some Coke?"
Li Mingxi still shook her head.
Seeing her distracted and absent-minded, Li Qian stopped disturbing her.
After a while, Li Mingxi suddenly asked him, "What time is it?"
"Seven thirty."
Has it only been half an hour?
But it felt like a long time had passed.
"What time is it?" she asked again after a while.
"Seven fifty. Do you have something to do? If you do, you can leave."
Li Mingxi shook her head, she had nothing.
She wouldn’t go see Xiao Lang, wouldn’t care what he’s doing, she wouldn’t care about anything.
But thinking about what Xiao Lang said during the day...
[I’ll be waiting for you at home, won’t you come see me? I’ll wait for you forever, if you don’t come...]
If she didn’t go, what would he do?
Xiao Lang was a very rational person, Li Mingxi didn’t believe he would do anything foolish.
If he easily did something foolish, then he wasn’t the Xiao Lang she loved.
But what on earth would he do?!
The more Li Mingxi thought, the more anxious she became.
Li Qian couldn’t take it anymore, "Okay, let’s go. This movie isn’t good."
He pulled her up to leave. Li Mingxi didn’t refuse, quietly following behind him.
After leaving the theater, sitting in the car, Li Qian asked her, "Where to? I’ll take you there."
