1 The twentieth blind date
"Hey, hello, is this Miss Yan? I've arrived, when will you arrive? ”
A young man in a neat suit stood in the square of a large department store where his family came and went, dialed the black and white screen mobile phone in his hand, and asked the other end of the phone in a gentle voice.
The young man looked like he was about twenty-four years old, of medium height, with an ordinary appearance, and there was a scar the size of a palm on his cheek, which was connected to the bottom of his neck, and it was a little scary if you looked closely.
He had been standing in the square for almost an hour.
He was wearing a set of hot suits, slightly white, which could be seen to have been carefully cared for, looking neat and clean, with a pink Jinlilai tie around his neck, and leather shoes with shiny shoe polish on his feet, which made his not too tall figure look very strong.
"It's almost there, it's a traffic jam, you wait a minute." An unhurried mezzo-soprano came from the other end of the phone, with a murmur of chirp and chatter, as if chewing on something.
"Hehe, it's okay, you take your time, the traffic in Liuyeer City is really painful." He smiled in understanding, and before he could finish, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, the young man continued to stand in the square and waited patiently, bored looking at the passers-by, the pedestrians on the road looked at him dressed so ceremoniously, standing in the square and waiting for people, they couldn't help but secretly cover their mouths and laugh, and he all responded with a kind smile.
After waiting for about half an hour, the phone in his pocket rang, and after he took it out and connected it, a female voice came from the phone: "Where are you?" I've arrived. ”
"Need me to pick you up?"
"No need, I'm in a Western restaurant, you can come directly."
"Oh, okay, which western restaurant are you in, please tell me the name of the restaurant."
"Love at first sight."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, the young man looked around and saw the huge neon sign that read "Love at First Sight".
It is a three-storey Western-style restaurant with an upscale and luxurious layout with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.
The young man entered the restaurant, and under the guidance of the waiter, he came to a fashionably dressed woman sitting in the most conspicuous and comfortable window position on the third floor.
Sitting on the sofa by the window was a slightly chubby girl, a figure of more than six meters, weighing about sixty kilograms, with a slightly collapsed nose, with a toad sunglasses that covered half of her face, a very fleshy little round face, a little freckles and pimples, her hair was dyed brown and slightly curly, and the clothes on her body were very fashionable, with a blue dress and a platinum necklace with a heart-shaped pendant around her neck.
Next to her, there is a classic style LV tote bag, in which is the latest white Apple mobile phone, the girl has headphones stuffed in her ears, listening to the music, shaking her head to the beat of the music.
She doesn't look like the type that makes people shine, but looking at her dress, it's very fashionable, and it can be seen that she is a fashion girl who pursues trends.
"Hello, is it Miss Yan?" The young man asked politely.
The fashionable woman took off her headphones and toad sunglasses, stood up, looked him from head to toe, and nodded.
The young man stretched out a hand: "It's nice to meet you, I'm Zhen Mingku." ”
……
Sitting opposite the girl, Zhen Mingku began to look at the girl in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally.
The girl named Yan Li was met by him from a blind date network called Soft Love, and the two chatted online for a few days, so they made an appointment to meet and see how they felt.
Counting this time, this is already his twentieth blind date.
He is not handsome, and his figure is not the kind that makes girls feel secure at a glance, but his facial features are upright, but the burn scar on his face is particularly eye-catching.
When he first came into contact with this girl's eyes, he knew that he was not the cup of tea in her heart, but since he came, he didn't mind chatting with the other party, as long as she didn't find some "the house is on fire", "the puppy forgot to feed", "the company is in a hurry" and other not very clever excuses to rush away.
The girl flipped through the menu a few times, and the price on the menu was not close to the people, but it would make people secretly think about the price of what to order.
"Are you allergic to shrimp?" The girl flipped through the dishes very casually, and did not seem to see any difference in the price of these dishes.
Zhen Ming drank bitterly: "No, I usually like to eat seafood, but recently Japan has been exposed to nuclear radiation, and I rarely eat seafood." ”
"You also believe what is said in the newspapers and TV, I never watch the news, even if it is true, it is the Japanese who die first, and I think the signature lobster of this house is quite good," the girl casually flipped through the menu, "Do you drive?" ”
"No, it's by bus."
"Oh, what do you want to drink?"
"I'm fine, whatever you like, just order."
"People who say casual are actually the least casual." The girl said, beckoning to the waiter, and the waiter standing on the side bent down very respectfully, "Three servings of Tyrannosaurus lobster, two servings of New Zealand black pepper steak, three servings of caviar salad dressing, and then a bottle of wine, and two servings of three-ball cream ice cream, strawberry, taro, and orange flavors for dessert after dinner." ”
The girl said, turning her head to look at Zhen Mingku: "Do you want anything else?" ”
Zhen Mingbitter smiled and shook his head: "No need, I don't eat much." ”
The girl handed the order back to the waiter, "That's it, hurry up." ”
……
Two portions of Western food for three people went into the girl's mouth, most of the bottles of red wine went down, the girl's face didn't blush, watching her eat the three-ball cream cake in less than two minutes, she was still unsatisfied, Zhen Ming asked bitterly: "Is it enough, do you want another one?" ”
The girl shook her head: "I'm losing weight, I can't eat too much, I can have another bottle of red wine, it's good for girls' beauty, and you can pack it back if you can't finish it." ”
As he spoke, he took out a tissue from his LV handbag, smoked two of them, handed one to Zhen Mingku, and after wiping his mouth, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the handbag, "Do you smoke?" ”
"Didn't smoke." Zhen Ming shook her head bitterly, the girl took one herself, lit it with a zippo lighter studded with rhinestones, took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, looked at him and asked, "Don't you mind if I smoke?" ”
"I don't mind, many of my friends also smoke and get used to it, but I heard that smoking is not good for girls' skin."
The girl's face was indifferent: "If a man doesn't smoke or drink, what's the fun in life?" Why do you live so long? By the way, who helped you choose your name? Is your life miserable? ”
"Hehe, the first time they heard my name, they all asked me, the name was given to me by the director of the orphanage where I lived when I was a child, and I was only three months old when the director picked me up from the gate of the orphanage, and I weighed less than ten pounds.
"Are you an orphan?" The girl was a little surprised and spat out a smoke ring: "Haven't you thought about changing your name?" ”
"I think it's good, after the dean died, this name is the only memorial she left me, and I didn't think about changing it."
"Oh, did you go to college?"
Zhen Ming shook his head bitterly and said: "I haven't gone to school, I came out to work after graduating from junior high school, but I took the college entrance examination, and then for some reason, I didn't go to it." The girl said with a look of disdain: "Third-rate university, it's nothing if you don't study, it's better to come out early to work, now many college students are not as good as migrant workers, what are you doing now?" Is the income okay? ”
"I have done a lot of work, glass manufacturing, lathe forging, decoration, plumbing maintenance, electrician, electrical repair, carpenter, transport driver, as long as I am paid, almost all have been done, no way, in order to survive, now the environment is better, working in a factory, making mobile phones, responsible for product inspection, very relaxed, eight hours a day, overtime is very free, counting overtime pay and bonuses, about more than 3,000 yuan a month, the boss is very good, the salary may be raised recently, if you work overtime, if you work overtime, Four thousand dollars a month is no problem. ”
The girl frowned slightly: "I think it doesn't matter if a man doesn't have a house or a car, the most important thing is to be enterprising, to have the courage to look at this mountain and that mountain, to let people see hope, to make people feel that he is a promising potential stock, those men who are satisfied with the status quo and do not want to make progress, girls don't like it, I don't think you can be satisfied with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan a month." ”
Zhen Ming nodded bitterly.
The girl suddenly asked, "You don't have machismo, do you?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"I just think that women should be husbands and children at home, do housework, and serve men every day in addition to taking care of children."
"This is not true, I think it's good that women have their own careers, plus I don't have such economic strength now, if women can have a stable job and share the pressure together, I think it's a good thing, and I have no parents since I was a child, and the housework is basically done by myself, and I am quite happy to do housework."
The girl said: "There are not many men who think like you now, what I hate the most is those men who have no ability and still hold a bunch of machismo ideas, today's society advocates equality between men and women, why should girls do housework, men just sit on the sofa and watch TV and read newspapers with their legs crossed?" ”
"Hehe, the kind of man you are talking about is basically extinct now, the current men are all gray wolves, housework is all-inclusive, the wife lets the foot wash the footwater, let the back be beaten, one is unhappy, kneeling on the remote control laundry does not count, even the bed has no sleep, at this point, I have a different opinion with you."
The girl laughed, glanced at Zhen Mingku, and said, "I didn't expect you to have a little sense of humor, what hobbies do you usually have?" ”
"I like swimming, surfing the Internet, watching movies, reading books, playing the piano and so on."
"You can also play the piano, I used to let my mother let me study for a while, I thought it was boring, I didn't go to a few classes, it's very simple, if I want to learn, now I have gone to the conservatory, but unfortunately I have no interest in learning musical instruments, do you learn piano or guitar?"
"Harmonica."
