Tan Rouâs heart softened, and then she grasped Zhuang Liuâs hand, âMe too.â
Just as they were preparing to leave, that boy suddenly ran back. He didnât see his girlfriend under the tree, so he searched for her in the crowd. While looking, he also described what his girlfriend looked like.
Zhuang Liu was a bit excited. He held on to Tan Rouâs hand tightly and said, âLook, he came back!â
Tan Rou was also somewhat surprised. In her mind, once the boy had left, he wouldnât come back, but in the end, he chose to return for his girlfriend, which showed that in his heart, his loved one was very important. Even if his loved one would get angry over trivial matters, and they would quarrel, they still loved each other.
This was perhaps what should happen between normal boyfriends and girlfriends. And she and Zhuang Liu, since getting to know each other, had never had a quarrel.
âIt seems we have never had a quarrel, have we?â Tan Rou asked. âWhat do you think quarreling feels like?â
Zhuang Liu couldnât bear to quarrel with Tan Rou. As long as it was something Tan Rou requested, he would definitely agree to it a hundred percent.
âNo, I wonât quarrel with you. Whatever you request, I will do my best to fulfill it,â Zhuang Liu said very firmly. âIf what happened to that couple happened to us, I would find every means to take down that card and then hang it up high. Whether the symbolism is good or not doesnât matter anymore, as long as the person I love is satisfied, thatâs enough.â
Tan Rou was somewhat moved. She leaned her head on Zhuang Liuâs shoulder and then said, âI wonât make such unreasonable demands.â
Mr. Zhuang said, âOf course, my Tan Rou is the most understanding person in the world.â
Tan Rou said with a smile, âSo, the most understanding person in the world wants to go to pray now. Mr. Zhuang, would you like to go with me?â
Zhuang Liu cleared his throat and answered, âI would be very pleased to accompany you, my queen.â
Tan Rou laughed, âLetâs go, Knight Zhuang Liu.â
As they left, Li Li and Lan Ning finally picked out their own red cards and had written the words on them.
âHuh? Have Tan Rou and the others already left?â Li Li looked around but didnât see Tan Rou and the others under the tree, âLuckily they already left, otherwise if they saw me secretly hanging this, they would definitely laugh at me.â
Lan Ning asked, puzzled, âWhy would they laugh at you?â
Li Li explained, âDidnât I say a few days ago that I would study hard and not pursue love anymore? Just a few days later, here I am, hanging up a love wish card. If they saw me, they would definitely mock me.â
Lan Ning shook her head, âI donât think everyone would laugh at you because everyone knows what kind of person you are and are already used to your behavior.â
Li Li gave Lan Ning a glance, âDear Ning Ning, if you canât speak nicely, you can choose to shut up, donât always say things that hurt me.â
Lan Ning continued with the hurtful comments, âI hope this red card is of some use, so you can find a boyfriend sooner and also raise your standards, not to find those messy people anymore.â
Li Li was almost driven mad by Lan Ning. She covered Lan Ningâs mouth and said, âNing Ning, donât talk nonsense anymore. If the love tree hears what you said, it wonât help me fulfill my wish.â
Lan Ning nodded to indicate she wouldnât say any more.
Li Li and Lan Ning came to the tree. Lan Ning stood up with her crutch, threw her red card into the tree, and because she didnât really care much for these things, she just casually threw it and only managed to hang the card quite low.
Li Li was different; she was very serious about finding a boyfriend, so before throwing the card, she made a wish with the card in her hand, âGreat love tree, please grant me a boyfriend! My demands arenât high, just handsome, good character, and smart is enough!â
After making her wish, she closed her eyes and threw the card with force, âGo, my love!â
Lan Ning watched as the red card flew askew, finally landing squarely on the forehead of a boy not far away. The boy winced in pain and started looking for who had thrown the object.
