(Extra) the first meeting

Fate is really a very wonderful existence in this world, and fate makes many strangers, acquaintances, acquaintances, lovers, stays together, and accompanies each other for a lifetime, because love may be the best answer in this world.

I didn't contact each other for 8 days after I met her, not even a single text message, and this relationship should have ended with the passage of time, but it didn't.

On January 6, 2011, it was a cold winter season, and I was assigned to be on duty during the festival as usual, and I stayed alone in the stuffy computer room at noon eating the bowl of cheap fried noodles, and the dull atmosphere made me feel extremely depressed.

I opened the door of the computer room, and the warm rays of sunlight shone on my body, and the refreshing feeling of fresh air swept away my depression.

She, the image of her sitting on the sofa and playing with her hair somehow appeared in my mind, thinking of the charming appearance of her long strand of hair coiled over her shoulder, I smiled, laughed unconsciously.

I took out my mobile phone, flipped out her phone, edited a text message, I sat on the steps outside the door of the computer room, enjoying the warmth of the sun, the crowd of vehicles shuttling on the road did not seem to exist, holding the mobile phone, repeatedly deleting, editing the content that I don't know how to send.

At that moment, my heart was conflicted and entangled, because it had been eight days since we met, and it was now the ninth day.

"Hello, Li, I'm Cheng, do you have time at night?" As the finger landed on the send button, a few cold and monotonous words were sent.

"Yes, I leave work at half past seven in the evening. Didi, the sound of two text message replies rang, and I opened the content in a bit of a panic.

A wave of joy welled up in my heart, I clearly remember the excitement after receiving the reply, now I think about it, why I was excited at that time, I can't tell, just excited.

"Then I'm going to pick you up from work?" I thought for a moment and then sent it again.

This time, I held the phone in my hand and waited for a reply, full of anticipation. Looking at the noisy streets with all kinds of people and traffic, I felt as if I had forgotten the cold of winter.

My phone rang, it was her calling, I exhaled deeply, and answered it with some trembling, don't look at the person I usually go on blind dates often, but really make myself a little excited, she is the first!

When I should really be open-minded, I was a little apprehensive.

"Hey, I'll go look for you after work, where do you say you're waiting for me?" Her voice came from the phone, this was the first time I heard her voice over the phone, I didn't have time to savor it, I just felt sweet and good.

"Then I'll wait for you at the gate of the city hospital," I replied anxiously. I don't know what kind of mood she is on the other end of the phone at this moment, I only know that I am really a little excited, and I only feel extremely happy in my heart.

"Well, then I'll go over when I get off work. I'll call you when the time comes. She just politely cut off the phone.

I stood stupidly at the door of the computer room and giggled for five minutes. I seemed to be enjoying the cold snap of that winter that day.

All afternoon, until 5 o'clock I have been sitting alone in the dull computer room, accompanied by the noise of the instrument, the space in the computer room is very closed, the light is very dark, I sit on the slide in the computer room, looking at the telephone lines of 20,000 households in front of me, broadband lines, densely set up in front of my eyes, this somewhat ironic New Year's Day shift, suffocating loneliness, messy circuit boards, the perfect interpretation of my inner anxiety.

Because I was a little uneasy about my upcoming first date.

The end of the last relationship made me no longer believe that there is a so-called love in this world, there is a so-called fate, and the scar in the depths of my heart has deeply affected my normal judgment.

That day, I sat quietly in the computer room, excited and a little nervous, consuming time, waiting for the agreed meeting.

The time was close to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and I saw that I could get off work, and the phone rang, I thought it was her,

The moment I saw the three words of the cold office on the screen, I was depressed for some reason.

"Hey, Cheng, come to the bureau for a meeting. "A call from my immediate boss.

I struggled to explain whether I could not go, but before I could speak, the phone hung up.

Helplessly, riding a bicycle, against the cold wind, ran quickly to the bureau.

Watching the time pass minute by minute, my heart was a little lost, not because of the meeting, not because of her, but because of myself.

Seeing that the time was near, at that moment there was a voice in my heart, and this voice said to me:

"This is the destiny of God, because the meeting seems to delay this first appointment,"

And as the time got closer and closer, I somewhat believed in the arrangement of fate, and for a moment, I lingered for a long time with my phone, wanting to tell her to cancel because of work.

It may be providential, the manager chatters about the tasks, and the considerable backlog of work due to the holiday rotation is the most fundamental reason for this long meeting.

At 7:15, oh my God, it's over. Finally the damn meeting was over, and I ran out of the precinct in a hurry, stopping the car on the side of the road for a long time, and I was very worried that I would be late for the first meeting in a long time.

At the time, I was too stupid to put words into words.

Where I had a meeting, a hundred meters opposite was where she went to work...... I didn't even think about it at all, so why didn't I just walk across the street and go to her place of work? Why did I stop the car on the side of the road like a fool and go to the appointment. And with ten minutes left before she gets off work, I have plenty of time.

The car came, and finally got in the car, the sky was not beautiful, and it was the rush hour after work, the traffic on the road was very large, and it was not far away but it was unusually slow.

When I arrived at the destination, I got out of the car, stood in the agreed place and looked around at her figure, she hadn't come yet, which made me feel a little relieved, a taxi stopped across the road, and she got out of the car.

At that moment I was on one side of the road, and she was on the other side of the road, across the road.

I wanted to call her, but I didn't because I was shy, she held her phone as if she was calling.

I crossed the street and said to her who was about to call, "I'm here,"

She looked at me a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "I didn't even see you, I was just about to call you." He laughed.

We went into a restaurant that sold spicy shrimp, and that's where we really started, and we went to it many times in the days that followed.

There were two rows of seats in the dining room, one against the wall and the other inside, and we sat at the table by the window inside, she was in the west and I was in the east.

The waiter came over and said, "There is no shrimp ...... today" A restaurant famous for selling shrimp has no shrimp, how ironic.

"What's that?" I was a little embarrassed, because the waiter's words made me a little overwhelmed.

"Hot pot bar," the waiter replied.

"Then let's make a hot pot. She said.

I nodded silently, the waiter took the menu and let me order, I handed it to her, she simply ordered a few things, looked up and asked:

"Is there chrysanthemum?" at that moment I knew that she liked to eat chrysanthemum, and I remembered it deeply.

"No," the waiter replied helplessly.

"That's it. She put down the menu.

I didn't want to disappoint her when I asked her to dinner for the first time, so I picked up the menu and ordered it all the way.

"Enough, enough, can't eat" she hurriedly stopped me.

I replied with a smirk, "It's okay, I can't eat any leftovers." ”

During the serving room, she and I didn't talk because of embarrassment. As the pot boiled, she picked up the dish and opened it first with a smile.

"What do you like to eat?" she said to me with a smile.

"It's okay, in fact, I don't like hot pot too much" This is me, a person who talks about the topic directly, and I don't feel that anything is wrong.

"I was also off work just now, so I came over, and I was blocked for a long time. She explained again.

I just smirked and said, "It's okay," I don't think until now she didn't know that I had just arrived, and I didn't think that I chose the most embarrassing choice because I was in a hurry to get a distance away from her.

"By the way, what's your name?" she said again.

"My name is Cheng," I explained.

She smiled and said to me: "Actually, I have forgotten what you look like, I saw you walking over when I got out of the car just now, but I actually don't remember what you look like at all, if you didn't talk to me, I wouldn't know it was you." She smiled so sweetly and sincerely. I kept making fun of the merits of not remembering people, and told me about the embarrassment of not remembering people after all kinds of one-sided relationships.

I didn't know how to answer, I just looked at her across from me.

"By the way, my name is Lin of the woods, not that Ling," she killed me again by surprise. told the origin of her name, her sister's name was Li, and she reversed her name when she named it, and she smiled.

I didn't know what to do except giggle, and I was shy at that moment, because shyness embarrassed me a little and made me a little overwhelmed.

After a sigh of relief, I asked, "I haven't contacted you for so long, and your family hasn't asked you?"

"I asked, and I said there was a connection. "She was very straightforward with my questions.

Hearing her answer, I don't know whether it was a contradiction or a contradiction, and I still can't figure out whether it was a contradiction or a feeling at that time. I just think it's all good.

"You don't mind smoking, do you?" I hesitated for a long time, but decided not to hide myself and asked her.

"Smoke it, don't mind. ”

"I don't mind, as long as I don't smoke all the time, one after the other. "Always with a smile on my face.

I lit a cigarette and quietly looked at her who was eating hot pot, eating it bluntly and taking big bites, and looking at me from time to time. Undisguised.

I quietly looked at her opposite, she was different from when we met that day, her long hair had been coiled up for work, an earthy yellow sports shirt, and a cartoon pattern on it, a large-mouthed monkey. The somewhat messy hair at the hairline seems to highlight her beautiful appearance, and every smile is deeply engraved in my heart, this girl, straightforward, not pretentious, the sunken dimples on her face are so charming.

After dinner, she looked at me with a smile and said, "What are you looking at?"

It seems that at that moment, I was also moved by her straightforwardness.

I smiled stupidly and pointed to the pile of leftovers on the table and said, "Look, there are so many leftovers, you really got right." I changed the subject awkwardly, and although I was stupid, I couldn't tell her I was looking at her.

After walking out of the restaurant, we walked down the road together.

In the middle of the night, the streets seemed a little deserted, and along the way, we were with each other, laughing and telling about our past.

The lonely cold wind made me not feel cold, and some dim street lamps illuminated the road under my feet.

We walked to the door of her community, said goodbye, and looked at her back gradually moving away, which made me feel inexplicable joy. Maybe it's because I like it, but this liking seems to come a little faster, so I didn't notice it.

After leaving, I walked alone on the lonely street, but my heart was very warm, and I had a smile on my face all the time, I thought I had met the woman in my life.

Shortly after I got home, I received a call from her asking if I was home.

One side of the relationship, a moment of acquaintance, in exchange for a simple word of care at night.

After hanging up, I smiled. This night. Laughed!
