Ai Ming is a person who is not willing to be lonely, because his own conditions are good, and when he reaches the marriageable age, someone will naturally introduce him.

He hasn't talked to friends since graduation, and when someone said that he took the initiative to introduce him to friends, he was of course overjoyed and said yes.

The other party's name is Qiu Mei, graduated from a bachelor's degree, works in a large company, focuses on product research and development, has a very scholarly temperament, and is now preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, which looks like a good match with Ai Mingmen.

Ai Ming liked it very much when he heard it, and felt that this girl was more motivated and the conditions were good, so he agreed to meet in private.

When he first met Qiu Mei, it was in a coffee house that a friend had made an appointment.

Qiu Mei is relatively thin, with long hair in the style of clear soup noodles, her appearance is not particularly beautiful, but she has a melon seed face, big red phoenix eyes, wearing a green casual T-shirt, black cropped trousers, and a student smell all over her body.

And Emin is a girl who likes this kind of student flavor, which makes him can't help but recall his college life.

Ai Ming is a more talkative person, so he ordered two cups of coffee and a fruit platter, and chatted with Qiu Mei.

They chatted very happily, and Ai Ming took this opportunity to learn seven or eight points about Qiu Mei's condition.

Qiu Mei has an older brother who works in the field, and her parents are directors of a company.

Not long after I joined the work, because I had a degree in hand and the care of my parents, I arranged to do product research and development.

In fact, she doesn't have to work hard every day, and now she is just an assistant to help R&D personnel sort out information and do some auxiliary work.

But Qiu Mei was not satisfied with just starting out, but if she wanted to be promoted, she had to have a higher education, so she decided to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination.

Ai Ming thinks this girl is quite self-motivated, he also graduated from college, but he is not ready for graduate school.

If you want to seek a higher education, the postgraduate entrance examination is the only way, otherwise there will be one less step for promotion.

Ai Ming listened to Qiu Mei's thoughts and felt that he still lacked a little enterprising spirit, so he secretly planned to go to graduate school, but first contact Qiu Mei to see if he could continue in the future.

After hearing Ai Ming's idea of going to graduate school, Qiu Mei encouraged: "Ai Ming, if you want to have a better future, you must be admitted to graduate school." ”

Ai Ming smiled in agreement: "Yes, without this education, it will be very difficult to be promoted in the future." ”

Qiu Mei told Ai Ming that it was difficult to take the graduate school entrance examination, and some people did not succeed in taking the exam several times. But with the experience, there is still a chance to be admitted.

Ai Ming knew the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination, and he had heard about it for a long time, so when he first graduated, he did not choose to continue his graduate studies, but joined the work first.

As for Qiu Mei's determination to go to graduate school, he admires it very much, it is not easy for a girl to have such a big determination.

Ai Ming even speculated whether Qiu Mei still had the desire to develop to a higher level after graduating from graduate school. But he didn't say it, and if he got a positive answer, he would feel very embarrassed, after all, even if he succeeded in graduate school, he might not be able to sprint to a higher degree.

He knew that it was a difficult thing, and Emin didn't necessarily have the perseverance and perseverance to put in the effort, although it was tempting for him.

Qiu Mei sat opposite Ai Ming, picked a slice of peeled apple with a toothpick, put it to her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed slowly.

When she found out that Ai Ming knew her idea of preparing for graduate school, a look of surprise quietly flashed across her face, she knew that as a girl, she had such a big ambition to strive for a higher degree, which might not be rare in this circle at that time.

She also doubts whether she is a little ambitious, because in the traditional concept, ordinary girls only need to marry well and be satisfied to be a good wife and mother, and having too high a degree is a great pressure for her husband.

But Qiumei was not satisfied with the current status quo, she wanted to get more opportunities, but she couldn't do it with her current qualifications, so she came up with the idea of going to graduate school.

Her best friend thinks that Qiu Mei is too idealistic, which will make her seem very ambitious, but if she only lives this life as a good wife and mother, Qiu Mei feels a little chicken.

This is not the life she wants, Qiu Mei has a long-term plan.

So she thought twice, even if she was looking for a boyfriend, she had to find a like-minded person, so as not to add some troubles in the future, work together and have common ambitions, which is the best of both worlds.

Someone has made an introduction before, but after talking, the other party feels that she is a little undown-to-earth, although there is no clear indication on her lips, but Qiu Mei is a person who can observe words and colors, and after tasting it carefully, she understands what the other party means.

Therefore, this kind of introduction is equivalent to the absence of the following.

But when Qiu Mei saw Ai Ming uncharacteristically approving of her ideas, and also revealed the same intention, Qiu Mei felt that she had met a confidant, so she thought that no matter whether Ai Ming would really go to graduate school or not, at least she was like-minded with herself.

Qiu Mei privately felt that Ai Ming still had merit, looking at his speech and demeanor, he was not as narrow-minded and rude as some boys.

So she decided to go on with Emin.

Ai Ming is very talkative and polite, and Qiu Mei also hopes that Ai Ming can continue to meet her.

In Ai Ming's impression, he thinks that Qiu Mei is not as kitsch as some girls, with a bit of a high character, which is very attractive. He was willing to date Qiu Mei, so he agreed on the time when the two would meet next time.

Of course, Qiu Mei accepted it, and did not pretend to be tall, which made Ai Ming feel that she was very straightforward, different from ordinary girls.

Emin later dated her a few times and it went very well.

However, out of prudence, the two were not in a hurry to settle on a relationship, and planned to date for a while before talking.

For a person's understanding, it is not something that can be figured out in a short time, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", Qiu Mei has high requirements for her future husband. As for Ai Ming, she still wants to know more.

Ai Ming knew that it was not so easy to catch up with Qiu Mei immediately, her heart was relatively high, but she was also a girl with a simple background, Ai Ming didn't want to give up Qiu Mei, so she made up her mind to fight a "protracted war".

Regarding Qiu Mei's matter, Yinglong heard Ai Ming say it.

Yinglong had also seen Qiu Mei a few times, and he met him when Ai Ming asked him to have tea together.

They made an appointment to meet at a teahouse.

Ai Ming sat next to Qiu Mei and introduced to Yinglong, "This is Qiu Mei, a friend I just met. ”

As he spoke, he introduced Yinglong to Qiu Mei: "This is my university alumnus, called Yinglong." ”

Qiu Mei smiled generously and said hello: "Hello, Yinglong, I've heard Ai Ming talk about you many times, and I've heard of you for a long time!"

When Yinglong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Hello! Qiu Mei, I also heard Ai Ming say about you, sure enough, you are as good as his name, Ai Ming, you kid is so blessed!"

Then Ai Ming told Qiu Mei about some of his past with Yinglong in college, and talked about playing with him, and constantly praised Yinglong's superb skills.

Yinglong felt a little embarrassed when he saw Ai Ming praising him, and hurriedly shook his hand and said modestly: "Where is this, I am not as good as others, which is your Ai Ming's opponent!"

Qiu Mei glanced at Ai Ming, and hurriedly said, "Thanks to the two of you who fought with each other back then, Ai Ming is now the main player of the team in the unit!"

Yinglong hurriedly complimented: "I know that you Ai Ming is very good, but I think the two of you are also a good match, Qiu Mei, you are also a talented girl." ”

When Ai Ming talks about his and Qiu Mei's plans to go to graduate school, Yinglong immediately expresses his support, but also regrets that he is not able to realize this wish.

However, his good friend was willing to go to graduate school, and of course he expressed his support, but he couldn't help but think about his future plans.

Ai Ming and Qiu Mei sat there with a happy and satisfied face, looking at Qiu Mei smiling very happily, sitting obediently next to Ai Ming, with a satisfied expression, Yinglong couldn't help but feel that the "female school bully" in the eyes of others was actually a little woman.

Yinglong was very envious, and couldn't help but think of a sentence: only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.

But now he is still alone, and it has been a long time since he left Shiwei, and without any news from her, a long time has passed.

Although I sometimes think of her, the feeling of heartache has faded with the passage of time, and the once vivid image is now somewhat blurred.

He didn't understand what was going on, but he also understood that time would dilute everything.

Ai Ming sat opposite Yinglong, enthusiastically helping Qiu Mei's teacup to mix with boiling water, Qiu Mei thanked gracefully, and her posture was elegant and generous.

Then Ai Ming filled Yinglong's teacup with boiling water, and Yinglong raised his hand to thank him.

Ai Ming asked Yinglong, "Do you have a suitable partner?"

Yinglong was a little disappointed: "Not yet, let's talk about it after a while, I don't have the heart to think about this now." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

Ai Ming sighed: "But this matter is not urgent, with your character and conditions, it is not difficult to find a suitable partner." ”

Yinglong felt that Ai Ming was too exalted of him: "The reality is very skinny, man, if only I was like what you said!"

Qiu Mei listened and comforted him kindly: "Yinglong, don't be so pessimistic, I think your character is quite good, otherwise, I will have a suitable little sister to introduce you in the future?"

Yinglong hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much, you really helped me a lot, haha!"

Ai Ming has also heard about Shiwei, but he hasn't heard Yinglong mention her for a long time, and it is estimated that the two of them are probably out of play.

He also knew that Yinglong had a relationship with Shiwei, but the two had not been in touch for so long, and it was estimated that they probably had no hope.

It seems that Yinglong is quite pitiful.

It would be a good thing if Qiu Mei could really help Yinglong make an introduction.

However, he didn't know if there was any hope, because Qiu Mei's girlfriends had a very high eye, and he didn't know if they were reliable.

Ai Ming knew that although Yinglong looked tall and handsome, his education was low and his income was not high.

But he didn't know about the burning of Yinglong's admission letter, because Yinglong never mentioned it to others, if it wasn't for the beginning, maybe Yinglong now has a good future.

This is the hidden pain in Yinglong's heart, a scar hidden deep in his heart.

Yinglong didn't want to talk to anyone, so almost no one except his parents knew about it. If it weren't for this experience, Yinglong might be somewhere else now, living a privileged life, Tiao

The pieces will not be inferior to Emin.

After all, as long as you have a good education, you don't have to suffer so much along the way.

"Seon is not blessed. Yinglong relies on this belief to support itself.

He looks forward to development in the future, and he does not need to rely on that academic qualification, but can find a place with his own strength and wisdom, hard work, and hard work.

Coming out of the teahouse, Ai Ming took Qiu Mei to go shopping, and Yinglong said that he had taken a step in advance.

He walked down the street alone, feeling a little lost.

Yinglong walked slowly while looking at the storefront on the side of the road.

While walking on the sidewalk, he lit a cigarette and smoked it.

The breeze blowing in his face blew the smoke aside.

Yinglong felt bored, and stood at a stall where he was squeezing cane juice, bought a cup and drank it while walking.

The cane juice is very sweet and sticky, with a cool taste, and the bitter taste of the cigarette is diluted at once.

After drinking the sugarcane juice, Yinglong threw away the plastic cup, and his hands felt a little slimy, so he took out a paper towel and wiped it.

Yinglong looked at the street scene in the distance and pondered: "Looking at Ai Ming and Qiu Mei's intimacy, I feel that they are as sweet and sticky as sugar cane juice." After all, they have long been a pair of mandarin ducks, and they are much happier than bachelors like me. Who doesn't want a sweet life! As for Qiu Mei's introduction, I don't know if people look down on me. They are all planning to go to graduate school, and they are like-minded, so I really don't know if it's time to celebrate them, and they can be regarded as meeting soulmates. ”

The more Yinglong thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and when he compared with Ai Ming, his gap immediately came out.

He was both envious and disappointed, thinking that he couldn't do anything if he didn't have this strength, and there was a sense of gap between people. It's better to be down-to-earth, who knows what will happen in the future, God has to help people, but people also have to help themselves.

The wind continued to blow, and Yinglong felt a little cool.
