In the cafe in the afternoon, like a sleepy cat, bathed in the sun, it exudes a touch of lazy tenderness.
Du Siqiu carried a blue and white canvas bag and walked leisurely into Kaiserlin Cafe. He chose a seat near the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down. The appointed time had already passed, and He Youdong hadn't shown up yet. But she
She couldn't complain, she had to wait patiently for an uncertain answer.
When she had her mouth full of cream, He Youdong sat down opposite her. He apologized very sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, I just arrived." She raised her head and looked at his facial features without revealing anything, including two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. This was her temporary evaluation of him. It's not just a crooked melon or a cracked jujube. This face
It's not that ordinary. Maybe it's because she has a bad memory. She saw it twice and still can't remember it.
I don’t know whether he had no impression of her, or to save her face, he didn’t mention anything about the past, and his eyes were very gentle. This was an excellent sign for Du Siqiu, and she felt that her chances of succeeding in the negotiation were greatly improved.
The words that were originally difficult to say were said so naturally: "He Youdong, actually I want to ask you for a favor."
"Well, you say."
"I heard that you were forced to go on a blind date by your parents. If so, let's just join forces."
There was a trace of doubt on his face: "What do you want to say?"
"I mean, you may need a temporary girlfriend more, and I just need similar help. We can each get what we need."
"What do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple, just act a play." She said softly.
She uses the feelings of two people as a bargaining chip in the game, in exchange for the so-called so-called getting what she needs. Her casual attitude towards feelings has a strange and pure atmosphere, which will surprise anyone who understands it.
He Youdong looked at him calmly: "Feng Xue matched us, but he didn't tell me that it was such a game."
"Of course, Feng Xue means well to us. But now we can have a better choice, why not."
"Joining forces to deceive my parents is not a better choice for me." He frowned slightly, his appearance became more heroic, and he lost the patience to explore: "I'm sorry, maybe you should find someone else.
"
He stood up to leave without taking a sip of the coffee on the table, as if he didn't want to waste any more time on her.
No wonder he suddenly changed his face. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will feel like they are being played.
His resolute departure was indeed a bit proud and upright. Du Siqiu suddenly thought of a word that could describe him - wine. She thought he was probably this kind of person, not absolutely outstanding, but like wine, time changes.
The longer it is, the more mellow the fragrance will be.
She curled her lips subconsciously, but it still didn't work. Of course, she didn't say a word to Feng Xue about this fake dating proposal. As a good friend of Du Siqiu and He Youdong, Feng Xue enthusiastically acted as a matchmaker for them and asked her to
It would be too embarrassing for her to tell the truth. Besides, for a big talker like Feng Xue, Du Siqiu would not tell her the truth even to death. There is a generally accepted law in their circle of friends: If you tell Feng Xue a secret,
It's like telling the whole world.
If this matter reaches the ears of Mama Du, the old lady will have to beat her to death if she wants to know that she is messing around outside.
She picked up the cold coffee and drank it in one gulp, then walked out of the cafe leisurely. No wonder Feng Xuelao teased her for being a turtle, and even if the sky fell, she wouldn't be able to move out in a hurry.
Feng Xue called on time: "Hey, tell me quickly, is everything going well?"
"I'm sorry, I'm yellow." The winter sun hit her warmly, but her words were lifeless.
"What, there is no suspense. Later I have to talk about He Youdong. If he continues like this, he will not be able to marry a wife. He is just picky."
Feeling that He Youdong had been tricked by her again, she held back her laughter and said, "Don't blame me, it's my fault this time."
"Wait a minute, you didn't tell someone again that you were afraid of getting married and having children, did you tell him that theory?" Feng Xue was anxious, and the next sentence almost shouted out: "Idiot, don't worry if you are sick.
Tell people everywhere!”
"Go away, you're the one who's sick." Du Siqiu retorted angrily: "That's the truth. Even if it is, what's wrong with me telling the truth?"
Really, she was only 24 years old. She was young and beautiful, but from the bottom of her heart she was afraid of getting married, having children, and taking on the responsibilities of family and marriage.
"Go home early tonight, I will give you a political class." After Feng Xue said this, she hung up the phone coolly.
She had nothing to do with her so quickly. She shook her head and turned into a nearby supermarket out of boredom, wandering around aimlessly alone. She seemed to be unable to find anything interesting to do except work.
It has been three months since Peng Tao left, and she has not yet completely gotten used to living alone.
Thinking of this, she had to blame Peng Tao again. Before meeting him, she had always enjoyed her single time, going wherever she liked, doing whatever she liked, free and easy. She was such an independent girl, even
When he confessed to her, she had been lamenting the end of her single years for a while. Now she was fine. When she got used to the two people's mutual affection, and even tried to imagine the beautiful blueprint of their future life, that opening
The man who kept silent and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her just left.
Yin Yin had a childhood sweetheart who studied abroad, and she confessed her love to everyone everywhere, showing mercy at every turn. What a bastard! What was even more bastard was that she believed in what this bastard said. When she thought of this, her mouth twitched with anger.
"This milk is mine." The man shouted unceremoniously in her ear: "Did you hear that?"
When she came back to her senses, she suddenly found that she was leaning on someone else's shopping cart, with a carton of plain milk in her hand. She had squeezed the thing out of shape. Unfortunately, that other person was He Youdong, with a fierce look on his face.
Yes, the politeness I had at the café at first completely disappeared.
Du Siqiu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Hey, what a coincidence."
"Really, what did you buy?"
"Uh, let me, I'll just take a look." She really hadn't decided what to buy yet, but her expression looked very guilty.
He Youdong didn't believe her and said viciously: "I told you I don't have time to play with you, please don't follow me anymore!"
"Who, who is following you!" She was completely desperate for herself, and started to stutter again at the critical moment.
He looked like he was still angry and wanted to tease her. He imitated her embarrassment and said, "I know who, who, who." His mischievous look was very subtle, but he was still teasing others.
At this time, the smile in his eyes never faded.
"You...you..." The more anxious she became, the less she could think of anything to say in defense, and her face turned red.
"What are you doing? Why don't you put down the milk?"
"What...what's wrong with you, I'm going to tie you up and you can't control it!" She said angrily, half out of anger and half out of sincerity. She tried her best, and finally the milk in her palm was sacrificed gloriously, and the milky white liquid gurgled out.
It splashed all over the floor gorgeously.
He Youdong stared at her dumbfounded, unable to estimate how angry the girl was burning in her heart. After a while, he faintly uttered: "Nervous."
Du Siqiu herself was stunned. She watched him push the shopping cart away and forgot to reply. What was wrong with her? Why did she get angry so easily.
The supermarket staff came over with a gloomy face: "Miss, dismantled products cannot be returned or exchanged."
"Hahaha, I know, I will buy it." Her face turned red and she hurriedly smiled. He Youdong, who had taken a few steps forward, turned around when he heard the words, and raised the corners of his mouth maliciously.
She stared back at him and was not in the mood to pick anything anymore. She carried a box of milk with one third of it missing and went to the checkout counter to pay.
"Three dollars, thank you." The lady at the cashier took a look at the cracked milk and said with surprise.
She took out a ten-dollar bill and handed it over. From the corner of her eye, she spotted He Youdong in another queue next to her. He was also taking out money to pay. The girl with a ponytail at the checkout lowered her voice and asked him with a smile:
"Will you come back for dinner on a cloudy day?"
A gentle look appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Friends are coming to visit on a cloudy day. You all can come to my place."
She tilted her head and made random guesses about who this girl was. She looked quite cute. She made a bad idea in her mind as she walked out of the checkout aisle and waited for He Youdong at the exit of the checkout counter next door.
Before he noticed her, she had already leaned forward from behind, with the girl in white overalls and ponytail in between. She put the milk in her hand in front of him, pretending to be affectionate and said: "He Youdong, this
for you."
He Youdong was too lazy to pay attention to her and looked at her speechlessly.
The girl in the middle looked at her intently: "Who are you?"
"Du Siqiu!" He warned her in a stern voice not to talk nonsense.
"Hi, I'm his girlfriend." She ignored his hint and pretended to be shy and said to him, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside."
She had no idea what He Youdong's expression was. Anyway, she was having a great time, and she almost burst out laughing while squatting outside the supermarket.
A milky white Ford Mondeo stopped in front of her. He Youdong said softly: "Get in the car."
"What are you doing?" She took a step back.
"Aren't you the one who said you would wait for me outside? Get in the car!" He used a commanding tone.
"That's right, it's me!" She bravely sat in and said, "Tell me what you want."
"You also know that your nonsense has harmed me!"
"How about I learn from you? Why did you wrongly accuse me of following you in the first place?"
"Okay, just think that I have wronged you and I apologize to you. Now please explain your prank to my sister and don't let her misunderstand our relationship."
"Oh, that was your sister just now." She nodded thoughtfully: "Where is she?"
"She's about to get off work. Come here soon... You won't play tricks on me again, will you?" His eyes glanced over casually, with a cold and probing look.
She promised obediently: "If people respect me, I will give them a foot in return. Don't worry."
He Youdong nodded with satisfaction and waved sideways to the girl who was walking this way. His body subconsciously leaned over, and Du Siqiu suddenly felt embarrassed and frowned uncomfortably.
The ponytail girl put on a purple dress after get off work, looking even more youthful and pretty. She ran over and greeted Du Siqiu with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I am He Youxi. You can call me Xixi."
Du Siqiu was moved by her enthusiasm and quickly smiled back: "Hello, Xixi."
He Youdong coughed slightly, hinting to her not to waste time and to explain it clearly quickly.
If you are so impatient, Du Siqiu glared at him angrily, turned around and said to He Youxi: "Xixi, actually I have something to say to you."
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later." She said, patting He Youdong in the front seat and saying, "Brother, take us to dinner first, I'm starving to death."
He Youdong reluctantly agreed and turned the car around to go to Haixinwan Restaurant. He Youxi devoured it and finally had enough to eat and drink.
She smiled and asked, "What does sister-in-law want to say to me?"
Du Siqiu truthfully told her that what he said in the supermarket just now was just a joke and asked her not to take it seriously. He Youdong breathed a sigh of relief and echoed that yes, it was all a joke. She gave him a funny look, this girl was his sister, but she wasn't
Girlfriend, why should he try so hard to explain, just to avoid being misunderstood.
The two of them looked very serious, and He Youxi also nodded seriously, as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter." She winked mischievously, turned back to He Youdong and said, "Brother, I'm full, you go and pay the bill."
He was a little unbelievable that the problem was solved much more quickly than he expected. He was very happy and walked directly to the front desk without saying a word.
He Youxi asked Du Siqiu for his phone number and said that he could keep in touch in the future. Du Siqiu was too embarrassed to refuse, so he read out a series of numbers to her.
He Youdong was quite satisfied with Du Siqiu's repentance and offered to give her a ride when he returned home. She laughed secretly. There were three people living in three different places and there were several big detours in the middle. What kind of ride was this?
She declined politely: "No, I have something else to do."
He Youdong didn't force it, symbolically told her to pay attention to her own safety, and then the car drove away.
There was a bus stop eight or nine minutes ahead. She was lucky enough to get a seat and started to doze off as soon as she got on the bus. It was more like falling into a drowsy state than a nap. She almost passed the bus stop. Fortunately, the driver was chatting noisily with the passengers.
The sound woke her up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly figured out what had happened. After getting on the bus, the male passenger claimed that he had forgotten to bring Yangcheng Tong and did not have a small amount of change with him. He was begging the driver for mercy. The driver ignored him at all and gave him
Two options were presented, either to put money in or get out of the car. For a small matter of two yuan, no one among the dozen or so people in the car came to help.
Du Siqiu didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She stood at the back door and was ready to get off. She got off the bus with the crowd, but after thinking about it, she felt it was wrong. She suddenly ran from the back door of the bus to the front door, chasing the two handlers of the bus.
The dollar was handed into the strange man's hand.
Outside the bus, she could only see his hand, a white and slender hand.
The car drove away, and she stopped where she was to catch her breath. She had no idea what the other person would look like or how he would react. She only knew that she had a legitimate reason to walk to work on a cloudy day. This chapter has been completed!
