Li Du was pulled off the stage by Sophie. The audience applauded, which made Sophie quite shy. She did not have the heroic bearing of an attending doctor standing in front of the operating table.
They could not stay there any longer because the two of them had become the center of attention. Many people did not even pay attention to the sixth auction that was about to begin, but just watched the two of them.
Sophie bit her lip and suddenly got angry. "It's all your fault. Why did you stand so close to the front?"
Li Du was stunned and said innocently, "How can you blame me?"
He was about to explain, but then he realized that Sophie's anger had turned into real anger. He immediately knew that he had made a mistake.
"You can only blame fate. Fate wanted to see this happen," Mr. Li changed his words. "But I am very grateful to it. And Sophie, I love you!"
Sophie was no longer angry. She listened to his words and said, "You love me? What is love? "
Li Du looked at her hesitantly. Being in love was a big subject. He did not understand what Sophie meant. Wasn't everything she had done to express her feelings for him?
Seeing his confused look, Sophie laughed softly and urged, "Hurry up and tell me, what is love? You said you love me? Then what is love? "
Li Du walked hand in hand with her to a tall oak tree. Looking up at the vast canopy, he said, "Sophie, to be honest, I don't know what love is."
The lady doctor pouted unhappily.
"Really, I have never experienced love, and I have never asked for it. But I know that every time I see you, I feel sincerely happy. Every time I see you happy, I feel even happier. If you are sad, I will be very sad.
"Every time I leave Flagstaff to attend an auction, I will come back immediately. Even if I can't see you, I feel at ease when I am close to you."
He held the lady doctor's small hand tightly and said, "I used to fantasize about married life. I fantasized about the girls I liked.
"But every time I thought about living with one of them for the rest of my life, for fifty or sixty years, seeing each other every morning when I opened my eyes, and preparing dinner for her every night, I felt afraid.
"But you're different. I've thought that if you're the first thing I see when I open my eyes every day, I'll definitely be very happy. If you're the last thing I see before I close my eyes every day, I'll definitely have sweet dreams."
Hearing his words, Sophie's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a cheerful smile.
Li Du held her hands and gazed into her eyes. "I think I've really fallen in love with you. If these feelings aren't love, then I've never fallen in love with anyone in my life, including my parents and family."
Sophie stared at him, her cheeks flushed.
Li Du felt that it was time for a kiss. He licked his lips and prepared to eat, but Sophie just looked at him like that, her eyes still so clear …
"Can you close your eyes? I can't do it like this. "He had to speak his mind.
Sophie said blankly, "Why would I close my eyes? Lower my mouth? What's next -- God! No, what are you thinking! I'm looking at you because I'm waiting for your confession! "
As she spoke, she was so angry that she laughed. Her laughter was messy.
Li Du said, "Oh, oh, I haven't confessed yet? Well, Sophie Martin, my beloved girl, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend? "
Sophie smiled. "Of course, in the name of God and the Virgin Mary, I'm willing."
Li Du thought for a moment and said, "What if I propose now?"
Sophie rolled her eyes. "Then I'll let Ah Ow bite you …"
Halfway through her words, the sweet smile on her face suddenly froze, and she asked in a panic, "Oh, no! Ah Ow, where's Ah Ow? "
Li Du was also stunned. "D * mn, there's still Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles!"
Just now, Sophie had left Ah Ow and the others behind. First, she raised her hand to bid, then she dragged Li Du away. Both of them were a little flustered and had forgotten about the little ones.
Ah Meow felt that his life as a cat was too tragic. He had been abandoned several times!
Now he felt that he was used to being abandoned. Using his super sense of smell, he followed the smell to find Li Du and Sophie. Crispy Noodles was behind him, holding a fluffy, chubby little Ah Ow in his mouth.
Li Du and Sophie were relieved when they found them. Mr. Li went up and pinched Ah Meow's little ears. "Don't run around in the future, okay? What if you get lost? You'll be eaten if you get caught! "
"Meow, meow!" Ah Meow was angry. How dare you say that? If I didn't love you, I would have clawed your face.
There were too many people at the Michaelmas celebration. It was not a suitable place for a date, so the two of them prepared to leave.
However, before they left, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Martin with a few acquaintances. Mr. Martin was even winking at them, looking pleased with himself.
Sophie wondered, "What's my dad so pleased about?"
Li Du said, "Do you think he's pleased too? If so, I think today's incident might have something to do with them? "
When they first arrived at the square in the morning, he chatted with the mayor. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Martin chatted with the mayor and even pointed at him.
He didn't think much of it before, but now that he thought about it, he felt that Mr. Martin was the one who planned it.
As the two of them were guessing, Mr. and Mrs. Martin walked up.
Sophie raised her hand to show them that they were holding hands. "Dad, look, you don't have to worry about me being a lesbian anymore."
Lesbian meant lesbian. Sophie's words caught Li Du off guard. He looked at the family in shock. Mr. and Mrs. Martin had such thoughts?
The little old man coughed and laughed dryly. "What nonsense are you talking about? Congratulations, you've found a suitable partner. What's the plan for tonight? "
Sophie smiled mischievously and said, "I won't tell you. Otherwise, what if you get involved?"
Mr. Martin shrugged helplessly at Li Du. "Look, the daughter I raised is now treating me like this. I have to reflect on my parenting methods."
Li Du smiled and did not say anything. He put on a "your future son-in-law is a gentleman."
The main reason was that he was not used to the way Western parents chatted with their children. Sophie and her parents really treated each other as friends and joked casually. This was different from the family culture that he had been exposed to since he was young.
As the two of them were chatting, a man about the same age as Mr. Martin walked up to them and greeted, "Hi, Sophie, Li, nice to meet you."
Li Du looked at the man with a smile. He felt that he looked familiar. Then he remembered. Wasn't this the mayor of Highland Town? He and Hans had once gotten a fire extinguisher for a fire truck. They had wanted to auction it at a flea market, but in the end, they had given it to him.
However, he had forgotten what this man's name was.
