08. Meet again

Mother's words pierced Qiao Anning's heart like a needle, looking at her mother's tearful face, looking at her father who had been hiding in the room for a long time and not coming out, and seeing them frowning all day long for their own affairs and not looking up, Qiao Anning began to wonder if she had really done something wrong?

Although it is her marriage, it seems to be more than her business.

"If you agree, I'll go back to your Aunt Gu's phone later. ”

Although there was still a trace of awkwardness in his heart, Qiao Anning still compromised with his mother.

"Hmm. ”

Qiao's mother went back to the room with a sigh of relief.

Qiao Anning went to the bathroom to wash up, looking at the baby face in the mirror, she pulled the corners of her mouth and hooked a reluctant smile. The fine lines at the corners of the eyes were brought out two, it turned out that time had passed a lot unconsciously, and the traces of the years would eventually be quietly reflected on everyone's face.

"See him, it's not for you to marry him now, you can get married even if you are engaged, you can try to contact him first. Yu Fengfeng called and talked about his recent troubles, "Your situation is still slow-paced, and I am here in a sea of swords, and the water is in dire straits." ”

"What's wrong with you?" asked Qiao Anning.

"My mother called me and said that the man's family was ready to marry us!" Yu Fengfeng hummed and panted on the other end of the phone, "We have only known each other for four months, and I have been working in Shanghai for the past four months, and others are in my hometown, we basically only have WeChat chat, and he chats with me every night!"

"Ah, are you in such a hurry?" Qiao Anning sat up from the bed in fright, although it was not her business, she could still empathize with Yu Fengfeng's anger and helplessness, "I haven't gotten along seriously, so why did their family say that they wanted to marry you so quickly?"

"Who knows! Maybe seeing that his son is still sending me WeChat, he thinks we have a pretty good chat. Yu Fengfeng's mood was not very good, "God knows, he really doesn't know how to chat at all, he chats awkwardly every time, and he talks to death." ”

Qiao Anning was very curious: "What kind of awkward chat?"

"Wait, I'll take a screenshot for you. ”

After a while, WeChat received several screenshots from Yu Fengfeng.

Qiao Anning looked at them one by one, and finally couldn't help but smile and said, "He really doesn't know how to chat at all." ”

"yes, yes. Yu Fengfeng seemed to have found a bosom friend, and complained vigorously, "I said that I have been too tired recently, and I have wrinkles, how can anyone ask how many wrinkles there are, and ask me to shoot them to show him???"

Qiao Anning covered his mouth and smiled: "Maybe he likes you too much, so he is careful not to know how to chat with you." ”

"Alas. Yu Fengfeng sighed, "Anyway, I don't have any feelings for him." Originally, we were one in Shanghai and the other in our hometown, and we usually only chatted on WeChat, but he was so embarrassed to talk to death...... I'm so irritable now, I'm about to explode. ”

"Touch you. Qiao Anning also smiled wryly, "It seems that everyone who is a single unmarried woman of appropriate age has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”

......

Mother and Aunt Gu were indeed very efficient, and only a week later, the two people who hadn't seen each other for a year sat face to face again and started their second blind date.

The place where they met was a western restaurant by the river, looking at Ye Huaijin who was sitting opposite him, Qiao Anning suddenly felt like a world away.

He wore a silver-gray suit today, with a small dark red tie exposed from the neckline, and his appearance had not changed, but he had added a more masculine maturity.

He looked at Qiao Anning with a smile, Qiao Anning's eyes were still a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. Two people who have been on a blind date once but have nothing to do with each other sit together again after a year, no matter how you think about it, it is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing and weird.

Of course, this may just be Qiao Anning's own thoughts.

"I'm sorry that it took so many days to ask you to come out, I was on a business trip in Beijing and only came back last night. Ye Huaijin was explaining to her the reason why they only met after a week.

Qiao Anning smiled lightly: "It's okay, you don't have to feel sorry, in fact, you agreed to come out to meet today, I was quite surprised." ”

Ye Huaijin smiled, and revealed the small pear vortex on the corner of his mouth: "You seem to have said something similar last time we met." ”

Qiao Anning was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and smiled: "Yes, if you don't say that I forgot, your memory is really good." ”

Ye Huaijin shook his head: "It's not that I have a good memory, it's that you really impress me." Although, my memory is really not bad. ”

Qiao Anning didn't understand whether Ye Huaijin's words were intentional or unintentional, but her heartbeat really accelerated, and when she looked up at Ye Huaijin's deep smiling eyes, her face turned red irrepressibly, and the temperature rose quickly, even if she didn't look in the mirror, she could guess that she was afraid that she had turned red into a ripe tomato at the moment, who made her naturally shy and blush.

Fortunately, the light here is faint and not bright, which can hide her shyness.

Qiao Anning only cared about hiding her shyness, completely forgetting the question just now, Ye Huaijin didn't answer, neither of them mentioned the topic just now, Ye Huaijin cut the steak elegantly, and even asked very gentlemanly: "Do you want me to help you cut the steak?"

Qiao Anning felt that she was sometimes quite puzzled, she shook her head and said, "No need, thank you, I can come by myself." ”

Ye Huaijin smiled, not reluctantly.

The two of them were eating steak and chatting over red wine.

Ye Huaijin asked, "How are you doing lately?"

Qiao Anning was concentrating on cutting a steak, which seemed to be deliberately against her, and she couldn't cut it no matter how much she cut it. Qiao Anning was even about to wonder if the knife she was holding in her hand was dull.

"Let me do it. ”

Ye Huaijin stood up and took the plate from her hand, obviously it was still the same piece of steak, but when it came to his hand, it seemed to have become obedient, and it was cut very happily before he returned it to her.

"Thank you. Qiao Anning pursed her lips, she remembered what Ye Huaijin asked her just now, and replied, "It's okay recently, it's almost the same as before, my work is quite stable, and the content of my usual work rarely changes much, so it's pretty good." After thinking about it, he asked him, "What about you?"

Ye Huaijin listened quietly and carefully when she spoke, and only after she finished speaking did he gently hook the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I relaxed for a few days before, and I have been busy again recently." ”

"yes, you just said that you came back from a business trip. Thinking of this, Qiao Anning said a little apologetically, "You just came back and didn't have a good rest before you came to meet me again, I knew that we could wait for you to rest and make an appointment later." ”
