(Chapter I)
“Some say I was born to be the man destined to make women cry.”
Today’s fellowship was scheduled to have twenty pairs of men and women, but it was canceled due to the heavy rain, and a few of the older boys, undeterred, still asked a few of the girls to get together at the teahouse. However Beale was only attending to make up the numbers, he had nothing to do with his free time anyway.
Bier, military service completed in the military, out of the community for nearly four years, do things seriously and positive attitude is very much let the boss quite appreciated, the same time into the company’s Ming Xiong is more diffuse, but the performance is surprisingly good, the salesman rely on that mouth, his tongue seems to be more than just three inches, right.
Although I work hard, my karma is mediocre and I don’t get any special bonus every month.
In the teahouse, four men and three women gossiped, and learned that two of them were working in well-known companies, all of them in low positions, and only one of them was a housekeeper, and they all seemed to be very casual. Because he was not good at expressing himself, he had to leave the meeting halfway through and go to the neighboring seat to read a magazine, intending to wait until the end of the meeting to disperse.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you, don’t you want to come and talk together?” Hioki, who had just met her, asked with a smile.
“My name’s not Hey, it’s Bil, I’m not good at chatting, so I had to hide in the corner Ro.” He said honestly.
“In that case, I’ll talk to you, I don’t want to talk to them anyway.” Xiaoqi sat down helplessly: “Hey, no, Bil, how old are you? Who’s your family? Any girlfriends?” Dawnie winked mischievously.
Is this girl doing her own research? “I’m 26 years old, my parents are alive, I have a younger sister, and I’ve just been dumped by my girlfriend…” He sighed and added, “If you’re satisfied with that, do you want to tell me my height and weight as well?”
“Eh, change me. I’m a single parent, I’m 24, I live with my mother, my sister got married early, and I have no one to chase me because I stay at home every day.” She did speak dryly.
“Don’t you have to work?” Bil asked her casually.
“I work as a writer, I stay home all day and write, and I just turned in my manuscript yesterday, so I’m free to come.”
Then she added: “I thought it was boring, but I never expected to run into you, so I’m much happier.” Xiaoqi laughed so hard that her face turned red.
Ah! This woman is so open-minded? It’s hard to tell.
Time passes really fast, it is close to the dinner time, my friends want to renew the booth to another place, I politely refused to leave, to the door, Xiaoqi also pushed to go back, we said goodbye at the door of the store, leaving the two of us at the door.
Finally, I spoke first: “It’s raining so hard, I think I’ll drive you back, how about it?”
“Yeah, well, I’ll buy you dinner and then go back, okay?” She looked expectant.
Promising her, we decided to eat in the neighborhood for convenience. Because the rain is not too big or too small, afraid that she will get wet, I will lean the umbrella to her side, so that half of my body are wet. She realized, embarrassed to lean her body over a bit, so my hand is difficult to put, so on her shoulder, see she did not react, heart also secretly happy.
Eat a full meal, back to her place, she asked me to go into the house to dry the clothes, wait for the rain a little less before leaving, of course, I followed into the house without saying a word. Unexpectedly went in to see her mother, her mother was quite surprised that I appeared, it seems that Xiaoqi usually do not socialize with any friends, at least not male, and then indeed, as I said. I politely greeted Wang’s mom, and she was happy to greet me, as if she was happy that her daughter had finally brought a man home.
I waited for her in her room. Her room was a real mess, the desk was full of papers, the trash can was full of papers, the floor was full of strange books, and the only thing that was neat was the bed… a huge double bed… would she and I… of course, we didn’t. Not long after she went back to her room, I said goodbye, left each other’s phone numbers and addresses, and then drove back to my car.
(Chapter II)
After a few days, I didn’t even connect with Ki because I was busy with work, but she took the initiative to call me.
“Er, are you free tonight? Why don’t we come out and watch a movie together?” She asked.
“Um, yeah, see you at 7pm, in front of the Tung Wah Theater, or should I pick you up?” I asked.
“Well… I’ll see you in front of the theater… That’s it, Bye!” she said and hung up, so dry.
In the evening, I bought drinks and snacks, and met Xiaoqi at the entrance of the theater. She happily ran over to me and held my hand, seemingly treating me as her boyfriend, which made me look like I was being pursued, but it was also very cool. I was generous enough to kiss her on the cheek. She looked away in embarrassment and dragged me into the theater. Since I wasn’t in the right seat, I dragged her to a less crowded area, fearing that people would be noisy, as well as the head in the front seat was too big and I wouldn’t be able to see the movie.
In the movie, the hero has cancer, the heroine decides to stay with him until the end and commits suicide after his death, which reminds me of the movie I watched when I was a kid, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, haha~~Xiaoqi held my hand throughout the whole movie, and I could see that she had never had a boyfriend. After the show, we found a bubble tea store to rest, she asked me if I was serious about her, I said let it be, at least I quite like you now, my personality has always been so.
She said thoughtfully, “I like you a lot… can you… go out with me?” She asked in a low voice with her head bowed.
“Yeah, I’ve got a crush on you too, and I kinda like you too.” I had a trolling feeling.
So we dated for a while and got to know each other and had a few fights, but it all worked out.
Until one day, she saved up enough money and wanted to study abroad, and only told me a week ago. I blamed her for not telling me earlier, and she said she couldn’t say it for fear that I would be sad, and that she wouldn’t be able to part with it or let it go. She also said that she regretted it now, and that she didn’t want to go anymore, as long as I asked.
I said, “Go ahead, it’s all for your future, I don’t want you to hate me and blame me in the future, I’ll wait for you.”
She cried, I cried…
Five years later, we got married, Xiaoqi’s happy and joyful look, really makes me feel, when there was not that heavy rain, so that the sorority less people, if I do not go to make up the number of people, if she did not happen to hand in the manuscript is free, we would not have known, God willing. I love her, I love her~!
