Villain Rescue System - Chapter 144

Wen Long guessed what it was, “It’s chocolate.”

Li Li replied, “I didn’t know what it’s called.” 

When he went to buy it in the city, the man told him a lot, but he didn’t understand. He just heard from the shopkeeper that little girls generally liked that thing, so he brought it.

“Are you giving all of it to me?”

“…Yes.”

Wen Long put it away calmly. She took one, broke off a small piece, and stuffed it into her mouth.

It tasted good.

[In this day and era, chocolate is a rarity. Especially ones that are not low quality like this. It can’t be sent by someone else, can it?] The system felt a bit weird.

It wasn’t a gift, could it be that the villain bought it?

It must cost a lot of money to buy those few pieces. Wasn’t the villain a miser?

“It’s delicious. Try it,” Wen Long broke off a large piece and handed it to Li Li.

Li Li looked at her outstretched hand, and the roots of his ears turned red silently.

He took it and took a bite.

Bitter and sweet. He could only say those two words.

The taste was a bit weird, but it was really delicious.

Wen Long asked him, “Who gave them to you?”

Li Li paused, then he said, “It is a gift from a friend. What’s the matter?”

Wen Long said, “I just want to inquire about the place your friend bought it from.”

Li Li unconsciously clenched the hem of the coat with his hand, “He sent a lot. If you like it, I can bring you one every day.”

In fact, there were a bunch of tin cans in the cabinet at home, full of candy and biscuits.

He bought a lot, but he could only give her a small piece.

Hearing that, Wen Long just smiled,  “Every day? But I won’t come the day after tomorrow. My family’s work is almost done.”

“…”

Li Li fell silent.

“And I don’t want anything from you. I just want to ask where that store is.” Wen Long paused for a second, the continued, “I want to buy some to eat when I get married.”

“…Married? What marriage?” Li Li raised his eyes blankly.

Wen Long said with a smile, “Did you forget? Didn’t Matchmaker Wang go to you some time ago? After you refused, my mother started looking elsewhere for my marriage. She should be able to find a suitable husband soon.”

Li Li was stunned in place.

“…You, you are only nineteen years old. Why do you want to get married so early?”

“I also want to marry a few years later, but my mother wants to marry me off before the end of the year.” Wen Long lowered her eyebrows, “Anyway, if I stayed, I will be spending their money. If I get married early, I’ll save the family a lot of expenses.”

“Saving expenses…” Li Li’s lips were trembling.

His voice rose unconsciously, “How much food do you eat?! Do they need to save this meal money?”

Wen Long glanced at him, but didn’t speak again.

[You seem a little strange recently…]

Wen Long: “Why?”

[I just think that in the past, you wouldn’t accept things from the villains.]

Wen Long: “Because of the scarcity of supplies in this world, I just want to eat chocolate again.”

[Really…] It still felt weird… It seems that she suddenly became intimate with the villain.

Naturally, Wen Long would not tell the system the real reason.

Once it noticed that something was wrong, it would likely return her to the original world.

Then, it would find that the fragments that should have returned to heaven weren’t in God’s body.

Li Li was stunned for a long time, the chocolate in his hand had already melted by the temperature of his palm, turning into sticky chocolate sauce.

He didn’t notice anything.

He bought a bunch of snacks for ten yuan. He didn’t feel anything when he bought them, but at the moment he had a lot of messy thoughts.

The vast majority of people in Lijia Village did not earn ten yuan a month.

The man she would marry might not even have the money to buy snacks for her…

Thinking of that, Li Li’s liver hurt from anger.

How could she marry that kind of person?

If she got a good match, she might be able to marry into a richer family.

The richest family in Lijia Village was the Zhao family, right? But that boy surnamed Zhao looked too ugly…

How about marrying someone who was rich and good-looking?

No way, what if he cheated on her behind her back in the future? 

After thinking for a long time, Li Li couldn’t find anyone who was worthy of her.

“The chocolate is going to melt,” Wen Long reminded him.

Li Li came back to his senses.

“… Mmm.”

He put the little bit of chocolate left in his palm into his mouth.

This time only the bitter taste came out.

After a while, he asked, “You don’t mind who you marry?”

Wen Long shook her head, “I mind, but I can’t help it.”

“…Then what kind of person do you like? I’ll find him for you.” 

“Find?” Wen Long suddenly turned her head and stared at him, “Will you really help me find a guy?”

An inexplicable guilt arose in Li Li’s heart from her gaze.

He licked his chapped lips, “Hmm…”

Wen Long stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly threw the remaining half of chocolate back at him.

Then she pinched Li Ge’s ear and ignored him again.

Li Li: “…”

He felt that she was probably upset, and her temper should be aimed at him.

But he couldn’t figure out why.

She was such a good girl, so she would definitely not be angry for no reason…

Li Li really wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that Wen Long didn’t intend to speak, he consciously shut up again, so as not to annoy her.
