After dinner, Long Ziyou and Ren Xiaoxiao walked hand in hand on the street. After walking for about half an hour, they saw a teahouse. At Long Ziyou's suggestion, they walked into the teahouse.
The reason why I suggested to sit in the teahouse is because Long Ziyou was going to talk to Ren Xiaoxiao about something, and it was more convenient in the teahouse.
"Xiaoxiao, what kind of tea do you want?" Long Ziyou handed the notebook handed over by the waiter to Ren Xiaoxiao.
"Have a pot of jasmine tea, I like the fragrance of jasmine." Ren Xiaoxiao returned the book to the waiter without even looking at it.
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you." After saying this, the waiter politely withdrew.
After a while, the jasmine tea ordered by Ren Xiaoxiao arrived. The two chatted while sipping the tea. After brewing for a long time, Long Ziyou finally got to the point: "Xiaoxiao, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Ren Xiaoxiao said disapprovingly.
"Xiaoxiao, we are about to get married. There are some things I want to make clear to you." Long Ziyou said slowly, "Actually, you may know something about this..."
"Ziyou, if you want to tell me about those women, I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to know it." Ren Xiaoxiao is a smart woman. She immediately realized what Long Ziyou wanted to say, so she interrupted him,
"My requirements are not high, as long as you don't let me stay alone in the vacant room often after marriage." Women are self-deceiving animals. She is afraid that she will be jealous if she understands too clearly.
Ren Xiaoxiao has long heard about the fact that there is more than one woman outside Long Ziyou, and she also knows a few of them. She knows how good her man is, and she also knows that Long Ziyou has very strong requirements.
She was self-aware and knew that she alone could not satisfy him, so she did not dare to expect that she could monopolize Long Ziyou.
Ren Xiaoxiao's words made Long Ziyou very moved, and at the same time made him feel guilty. He smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoxiao, I won't say more, I just want to say that I will make you a happy person."
Women’s.”
Long Ziyou's 'confession and leniency' plan was suspended in this way, which also let him know that Ren Xiaoxiao was not as careless as he thought. She knew a lot of things, but she just didn't say it out loud.
He is more mature than he thought.
In addition to getting married, Long Ziyou also received another happy event recently, that is, he is preparing to be promoted and transferred. He has been in his prime position for two years and meets the conditions for promotion. He can be promoted to half a level. After half a level, he will be a deputy.
The 28-year-old deputy director of the department is rare even in the capital. The colleagues who heard the news were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Of course, there were many people who expressed congratulations. Mei Xin was one of them, and she also benefited.
One of the reasons is that if Long Ziyou is transferred away, she will have the opportunity to step up.
This promotion and transfer was operated by the Ren family. This was their wedding 'gift' to Long Ziyou. They gave Long Ziyou two choices: one was the Ministry of Commerce, and the other was the National Development and Reform Commission. After repeated consideration, Long Ziyou decided
I chose the National Development and Reform Commission.
"Ziyou, double happiness is upon us, when are we going to treat you?" That afternoon, Mei Xin came to Long Ziyou's office. After finishing the business, she joked with a smile.
"Sister Xin, I have already reported your name, so should you treat me first?" The inspection conversation was over, so Long Ziyou did not deny it, but just retorted with a smile.
"It's not easy for me to treat guests. I can leave right after get off work. I'm afraid our Director Long won't show his favor." Mei Xin smiled as brightly as a flower.
Long Ziyou was joking about Catechism, but Mei Xin's words had reached this point, and he couldn't help but eat the meal, so he expressed joy and said: "Beauty is treating me to a treat, and my heart is infinitely happy."
"Leader, is this considered teasing your female subordinate?" Mei Xin's beautiful eyes were filled with smiles and she looked forward to her beauty.
Long Ziyou smiled bitterly and said, "This can only be regarded as a compliment at best, but it's far from teasing."
"Ziyou, I find it's a waste of talent if you don't participate in the debate competition." Mei Xin gave Long Ziyou a thumbs up.
"Haha, Mei Xin deserves the award." Long Ziyou said modestly with a smile.
Seven o'clock in the evening, elegant western restaurant.
Long Ziyou and Mei Xin sat opposite each other in a private room, their faces reddened by the candlelight. In the eyes of others, they looked like a happy couple.
For this candlelight dinner, Long Ziyou started to feel really uncomfortable. Although the two had a good relationship, they were not lovers after all, and they had a superior-subordinate relationship. If someone in the unit saw it,
, I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly even if my body is covered with mouths.
"Sister Ya, isn't the atmosphere here a little too romantic?" After the waiter left, Long Ziyou picked up the goblet and smiled wryly at himself.
"Dang." The wine glass in Mei Xin's hand and Long Ziyou's glass touched lightly in the air, making a crisp sound. Her seductive red lips pressed lightly on the edge of the wine glass, her movements showing nobility and elegance, and then
Then she slowly said: "There is no way, who said that women are naturally romantic animals." She naturally understood that Long Ziyou meant that such an occasion and atmosphere were not suitable for the two of them. She had thought about it when she booked the restaurant.
With this question, I decided to book here by accident.
Mei Xin's words reminded Long Ziyou of a joke about comics and waste: Wife: My dear, before we got married, you gave me flowers every day. Why don't you send them to me now? As a result, the atmosphere of romance is gone.
; Husband: Sending flowers before marriage is called waste, but giving flowers now... is called waste.
Long Ziyou told this joke to Mei Xin, making her giggle. After laughing, she looked at Long Ziyou and said, "That's what you men are like. Those who haven't caught them are like treasures, but those who have caught them are like treasures."
It’s just like grass.”
"Not all men are like this." As a man, Long Ziyou has to say something fair for his male compatriots.
"Although not all of them, at least nine out of ten, the remaining one is a 'comrade.'" Mei Xin beat everyone in the boat to death with a bamboo pole.
Long Ziyou smiled bitterly, "This joke also illustrates a problem. Married life must always return to rationality and plainness. You cannot expect that marriage will be like falling in love. That is unrealistic. However, we still have such a great and profound question.
Leave it to the experts and scholars to study, come on, Sister Xin, let’s drink.”
Mei Xin clinked glasses with Long Ziyou again, and after a while she slowly said: "Ziyou, I just discovered tonight that you are not only eloquent, but what you say is very profound and can make people think."
Mei Xin had a failed marriage, so Long Ziyou's words resonated and touched her a lot.
Long Ziyou almost blushed when he was praised like this. He shook his head and said, "Sister Xin, I'm just talking casually. Don't take it too seriously."
Maybe it’s because there are few friends of the opposite sex who can talk to each other like this. Mei Xin was not only very drunk tonight, but also very interested in chatting. One bottle of red wine was not enough and she ordered another one. The two of them stayed until half past nine before leaving.
.
Maybe because she knew she was going to drink, Mei Xin came by taxi, so she got into Long Ziyou's car when she left.
More than half an hour later, under Mei Xin's guidance, Long Ziyou's car arrived downstairs in the community where she lived. After divorcing her husband, she bought a three-bedroom house and lived alone.
She rented out the villa Hou Aihua gave her because she felt that the house was too big and she would live alone in it.
"Ziyou, I'm bored by myself, why don't you go up and sit for a while? I have coffee and red wine at home, you can drink whatever you want?" Before getting off the bus, Mei Xin sent an invitation to Long Ziyou.
Long Ziyou suddenly remembered an article he had read in a magazine. The article said that it was a sexual suggestion for a single woman to invite a man to her home for coffee when it was late at night, so he was a little hesitant and didn't know.
Should I agree?
"What, my sister is a tiger, why don't I just chat with her?" Seeing Long Ziyou hesitate, Mei Xin glared as if she was dissatisfied.
"I haven't been to Sister Xin's house yet, so I just went up to visit." Long Ziyou smiled bitterly and found an excuse for himself.
Entering Mei Xin's home, Long Ziyou vaguely felt a faint fragrance floating in the air, which was very similar to the fragrance on her body. Looking at the decoration and decoration of the home, the simple black and white style, fabric sofa, quite modern, and the arrangement of items
It was neat and orderly, giving people a warm feeling. Long Ziyou nodded secretly, thinking, a home with a woman is especially clean.
"What do you want to drink?" Turning on the TV, Mei Xin asked Long Ziyou who was sitting on the sofa.
"I drank coffee because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so I decided to drink wine." Long Ziyou didn't hesitate about what to drink.
After a while, Mei Xin came back with a bottle of red wine and two goblets. The attentive Long Ziyou found that the bottle had been opened. He estimated that Ping Mei Xin would drink two glasses of wine when she was alone at home to relieve the loneliness.
.
"Try it and guess what kind of wine it is." Mei Xin held two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Long Ziyou.
"Haha, you want to test me." Long Ziyou smiled, held the deep red wine in his mouth and tasted it carefully for a while, and said: "Genuine Lafite is difficult to buy on the market now. Sister Xin shouldn't be
Bought in China.”
"Sure enough, he is the best among masters!" Mei Xin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I asked my friend to bring this back from France."
"I don't want to be a master, but I just happened to have a friend who taught me how to tell the difference between real and fake Lafite." Long Ziyou said modestly.
Mei Xin drank the wine in her own glass, and then poured wine into the two glasses, "A thousand cups are too little for a close friend. Let's finish this bottle of Lafite tonight."
"Wouldn't that be too wasteful?" Long Ziyou said with a smile.
"Wine is for drinking. No matter how expensive the wine is, it's just a waste of money to keep it there." Mei Xin said disapprovingly, "Besides, this wine is not expensive to buy in France."
"Haha, that's right. In our country, the fake prices are much more expensive than the real ones over there." Long Ziyou agreed with Mei Xin's point of view.
There was no shortage of topics for the two of them to talk about. Before they knew it, the bottle of Lafite had reached the bottom. Seeing this, Mei Xin stood up and said, "There is another bottle in the wine cabinet. I'll go get it."
"Sister Xin..." Long Ziyou originally advised Mei Xin not to take it, but at this moment, Mei Xin, who was walking forward past Long Ziyou, accidentally touched the table leg with her foot, tripped and fell into his arms.
