Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Although Zhang Xingwang was still very sleepy, the feeling of being stared at slowly drove away his sleepiness. He stood up and muttered:

"I just wanted to take a nap, who the hell did I offend? Is this the end? Um... Yu Li, why are you here?"

"I'll dig wild vegetables!"

Yu Li replied cautiously.

Zhang Xingwang felt that everything was going wrong today, and then asked:

"Your family doesn't have to dig wild vegetables, does it? Are you having difficulties recently?"

Yu Li asked with a sobbing voice:

"You said you were swimming to find your partner? Do you have a partner?"

Looking at the old man hiding behind the tree and peeking out, he rubbed his eyes and replied:

"Tell me, are you in trouble?"

Yu Li's face was livid and she didn't reply. Her chest was rising and falling violently, as if she was about to explode at any time. Zhang Xingwang looked at the crowd that was about to gather around and picked up the "fishing rod". He said softly to Yu Li:

"Why don't we talk somewhere else? It's obviously not safe here anymore."

Yu Li looked at Zhang Xingwang's thick and long fishing rod, and her feet staggered instantly. Her brain gradually regained its calmness, and she naturally switched to the state of being a punching bag, and whispered back:

"I'll listen to you."

Then, while the old man was looking at the scumbag, they rowed away and found a shady place to stop the boat. After seeing Zhang Xingwang pick up the fishing rod and throw the fishing line into the water, Yu Li hesitated and asked:

"Brother Xingwang, do you have a partner?"

Zhang Xingwang finally understood that nothing good would happen whenever he rowed a boat. He helplessly made a dejected gesture and replied in a deep voice:

"Sister, I thought you were a polite person. You can't ask questions when you're fishing. Sensible girls usually stay quiet when others are fishing."

Yu Li was getting anxious now. She had accepted her fate, but it turned out that the other person already had a partner. Her sister and classmates had never told this.

"I don't care. Even if you beat me to death today, I still want to know!"

"Well, I had a boyfriend before, but he ran away!"

Yu Li put down her arms that were protecting her face and said in a choked voice:

"Run away? That means he doesn't exist now!"

"You can understand that, but she will come back."

Yu Li felt mixed emotions after hearing this, and then she started asking about it, looking quite curious.

Zhang Xingwang looked at the motionless fishing rod, then glanced at the Forbidden City next to him, and replied decisively:

"Her name is Lou Xiao'e, and she later ran away to Hong Kong with her father!"

"And then? What about the details?"

"Let's continue talking about your difficulties!"

Yu Li recalled what Yu Haitang and her classmates had said, lowered her head and whispered:

"Brother Xingwang, I know you're not smart. What if you can't wait for her to come back? I'm different..."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang replied angrily:

"This fish is impossible to catch, why did you come out to dig wild vegetables?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Li, who was confused, and said, acting like a good brother:

"Just tell me, is there not enough food? I'm your brother in charge of purchasing. Just wait and I'll find a solution for you!"

Then they stood up and rowed back, and then the two of them walked away one after the other. I don’t know if they heard the old man muttering:

"It's true that it's not good to bring a girl with you. The former fishing expert also came up empty-handed. I guess he didn't do anything good..."

The two of them almost reached the park entrance. Zhang Xingwang took Yu Li to a place near the shore. Before he could say anything, Yu Li spoke first:

"Brother Xingwang, I really don't want anything. If I take food back without knowing the reason, my father will definitely strangle me to death..."

Looking at Yu Li who wanted to cry but had no tears, Zhang Xingwang thought for a moment and said nonchalantly:

"What are you afraid of? Your father has to eat a lot before he has the strength to strangle you. It's not a big deal. Brother and I know about it. I'll get you something else this time. The person I made an appointment with today is going shopping. You just wait for me here."

Yu Li looked at Zhang Xingwang who disappeared after speaking, wondering if she had not expressed herself clearly. Haitang also asked her to be more resolute, saying that she had criticized herself for being a bit reluctant before she heard the whole story.

I kicked the grass unconsciously, thinking that at worst I could just say hello and run away, or if that didn't work I could go to the street office tomorrow and apologize to him or something...

After kicking and waiting for a long time, he suddenly saw the other party appearing carrying a sack.

Recalling the corn from last time, Yu Li thought that she didn't want anything this time, so she turned around and tried to run. However, she tripped over the small dirt pit she kicked up, and almost fell into the river...

Zhang Xingwang looked at Yu Li with tears in her eyes, thinking that she had fallen hard this time, so he quickly put down the sack and helped her up while saying:

"Why are you so anxious? Are you hungry? Are you afraid that I will run away because of your brother's credibility? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?"

Yu Li looked at Zhang Xingwang aggrievedly and replied in a crying voice:

"I'm fine, just a few scrapes on my hands and a little pain in my feet."

Zhang Xingwang took a look and saw that both of his hands had a coin-sized scrape, but he was still able to walk. The wound on his foot did not look serious. After comforting him, he looked at the sack on the ground and the wrestling bully, and fell silent!

"Let's make a deal first. I can ride my bike to take you back, but you can't take advantage of me by repaying my kindness with hatred, okay? Otherwise, I'll just lend you my bike!"

Yu Li was delighted after hearing this, and then replied confidently:

“I can’t ride a bike!”

Zhang Xingwang looked at Yu Li, who had regained her smile, and couldn't help but say "Who are you kidding?" But in the end he didn't say it, and reluctantly rode his bike to send Yu Li home.

The imagined hug around the waist didn't happen at all, and the other party just grabbed the corner of his clothes furtively for a while.

I took the time to look back a few times. Yu Li kept her head down the whole time, so I couldn't see what her expression was like, but her ears were redder than grapes in a sack.

The end result was that Zhang Xingwang was busier that afternoon than at work. When he arrived at the entrance of Yu Li's alley, it was almost time to get off work.

Zhang Xingwang put down the sack skillfully, quickly lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and abruptly interrupted what Yu Li was saying opposite him.

Yu Li said, "Brother Xingwang, thank you for sending me home, but I really... cough... can't... cough..." She quickly turned around and ran back, waving her hand:

"You're welcome!"

Then he disappeared at the entrance of the alley. Yu Li held the sack that was almost falling over and blurted out "You are cheating."

Yu Haitang, who was returning home from school, saw her sister circling around the sack at the entrance of the alley. She hurried over, stared at her sister's clothes, and said quietly:

"Sister, are you willing to fall down again?"

Then he looked at his sister's hand and continued in surprise:

"It's serious, sister, you really fell!"

"Stop talking nonsense and come over here to help!"
