Villain Rescue System - Chapter 149

Li Li’s heart was stabbed hard by that sentence.

His head became blank for a moment, and he could only nod mechanically.

“But it’s almost Chinese New Year, so it’s good to buy some meat.”

“I bought the fish yesterday. It’s so cold now, so it won’t get bad. I’ll wrap the fish and chicken and fry them later, so I can keep it until the Chinese New Year.” 

Li Li pursed his lips.

He married her as his wife, so why would he have to work as soon as she entered the house?

“…Don’t worry, you rest first.”

“I bought a lot of things, but I haven’t shown you yet.”

Li Li remembered Wen Long’s advice, paused, and added another sentence, “Because It’s almost Chinese New Year, I bought more.”

Wen Long looked sideways.

Did he buy something because the Chinese New Year was coming? It didn’t sound very credible for a miser to say such a thing.

Li Li led her into the room.

The windows of the room were all pasted with bright red window grilles, and paper-cut with the Chinese character “happy” were stuck on the walls. It was obviously arranged according to the rules of the wedding room.

He opened the closet, took out a red box from the inside, and handed it to Wen Long, “I bought it for you.”

Wen Long opened it and saw a large gold bracelet lying quietly inside.

Gold was expensive.

She frowned, “How much did you spend?”

Li Li looked down at her, “It’s not as expensive as you think.”

“I bought a little gold when the price of gold went down a few years ago. I originally wanted to sell it later, but I added only a little gold to the bracelet, it’s not expensive.”

Wen Long sighed. She raised her hand to touch Li Li’s forehead, “I think you need to calm down.”

If Li Li just bought some meat and food, she wouldn’t say much… But such a heavy gold bracelet was really a bit extravagant.

Ever since Wen Long and Li Li met each other, the two of them hardly had any physical contact. Even after getting the marriage certificate, they never held hands.

Therefore, that cold hand did not lower the temperature of Li Li’s forehead, but made it even hotter.

And Wen Long, whose palm was pressed against his forehead, clearly felt the temperature rise.

Not to mention that it was strangely warm.

Wen Long pushed both hands to his face, one left and one right just covering the cheeks on both sides.

She thought it was funny, and subconsciously raised the corners of her lips, “Calm down…”

Li Li lowered his eyes, feeling as if he had been marinated in a jar of honey, and then skewered by Wen Long and grilled on a rack. Sweet from the inside out, hot from head to toe.

He dared not move.

He dared not do anything. He could only hope that Wen Long would take the initiative and get closer to him.

Wen Long touched his cheeks for about a minute before slowly letting go.

Li Li also calmed down a little and put the bracelet on her hand.

“I didn’t dare to see you when I was at your house. I was afraid that people would think about it.”

With Li Guifang around, if she saw it, maybe she would have to play some tricks.

Wen Long raised her hand and shook it around.

It was golden, and it didn’t really match her thick cotton coat of a slightly darker color.

Li Li’s focus was different from hers.

He felt that the bracelet was too eye-catching when worn on that pale white wrist.

Wen Long wore it for a while, then took it off and returned it to him.

Li Li was stunned.

“Don’t you like it?”

Wen Long smiled.

“Such a big gold bracelet, won’t I be showing off if I wear it?”

Li Li nodded twice.

He put the bracelet into a box and put it in the deepest corner of the closet.

Wen Long: “Okay, from today until the end of the new year, you are not allowed to spend money recklessly.”

Li Li couldn’t hold back, so he held her delicate hand in his palm.

“I still have 700 yuan, which is all my property. I won’t spend it recklessly, and you will take care of it.”

Wen Long said with a frown, “I don’t want it.”

She knew very well that the money was very important to Li Li. That was the only source of his sense of security for the past ten years.

The person in front of hrt stopped talking.

Wen Long sighed, “We are in charge of each other.” 

Li Li started to feel dizzy again.

“Li Li?” Li Xiaotian’s voice came from far away.

“Someone is looking for you,” Wen Long pulled her hand out of his.

“Oh…”

“I’ll go right away.”

Wen Long stayed in the room for a while, and heard two people approaching and talking.

“My wife went to the city to buy new year’s goods today, and she will come back tomorrow. She knew that your wife would come today, so she asked me to come over and have a look…”

The curtain of the room was lifted by Li Li, who was followed by Wen Long.

“This is Li Xiaotian, who lives opposite me,” Li Li introduced.

Wen Long thought about it, and felt that this person should be a few years older than her, so she called out, “Brother Li.”

Li Xiaotian smiled honestly, “Don’t call me Brother Li, it sounds like Li Li’s dog…”

“Just call me brother.”

Li Li’s face turned dark immediately.

She never called him “brother”.

“Don’t listen to him, just call him by his name. He’s younger than me, so he should call you sister-in-law.”
