As the night deepened, a secluded alley.

The street lamps are dim, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and there is a hint of mystery in the quiet.

Suddenly, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of "dangdang" high-heeled shoes hitting the stone pavement, and a young woman hurried into the alley.

By the street lamp, I saw her pretty, long hair shawl, and a light yellow dress.

Her name is Gu Xinrui, and she lives in a courtyard deep in this alley.

Tonight, thirty-year-old Gu Xinrui failed on a blind date again, and when she came out of the blind date, she was depressed and didn't want to go home and went directly to the office.

Gu Xinrui is the editor-in-chief of a magazine that has worked for six years, conscientiously forgetting to sleep and eat, and it is common for her to return late because of overtime.

Returning late, in addition to being busy with work, another reason was that she didn't want to face the scene at home, and when she thought of that scene, she couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows......

After the failure of the second sister's marriage, she took the child back to her parents' house, the third sister who was in college complained all day long, the younger brother who was in junior high school did not know the world, and the mother was sad and nagged in Xinrui's ear: "Your second sister brought a child back is enough for me to block, and you refuse to marry, the neighbors all say that I delayed you, Xinrui, find a good family to marry, or my mother is in my heart...... I don't want to go!"

Every time she thought of this, Gu Xinrui felt a splitting headache! Why didn't she want to marry herself early? However, someone had to be willing to marry her!

As soon as she thought of this, Gu Xinrui thought of the scene from the blind date tonight.

When I first met, the thirty-two-year-old software engineer could be said to be very satisfied with Gu Xinrui, after all, Xinrui's appearance was definitely beautiful, and she looked much younger than her actual age.

The software engineer stared at Xinrui's delicate face, and his mouth was almost closed, and the benevolent brother thought that he had picked up a treasure today.

As the two sat down to talk, the smile on the software engineer's face faded little by little.

Xinrui never hides the actual situation of the family from the blind date, which is her consistent principle of life.

Although her best friend Yang Yuwei repeatedly warned her not to say anything on the first blind date, because men are preconceived animals, let them realize your goodness first, and then slowly know that your family burden is heavy, and then they will already have feelings for you by then, so even if they have opinions about your family situation, they are reluctant to give up.

But Gu Xinrui doesn't think so, she thinks that it is tantamount to deception, and in the end it will only make men think that you are a chicken rib that is tasteless and abandoned.

Gu Xinrui didn't want to be a chicken rib, so she had to tell the truth.

"So, you have two younger sisters and a younger brother below you?" asked the software engineer, gently stirring the coffee in the cup and holding his glasses.

Gu Xinrui nodded at him and replied calmly, "The youngest brother is in the first year of junior high school this year. ”

The engineer was a little surprised: "So that means sixteen or seventeen years younger than you?"

Xinrui nodded: "Yes, sixteen years younger." ”

In fact, this embarrassing situation is not something Gu Xinrui is willing to face, but who made her parents seriously patriarchal, so she risked a fine to regenerate for life, and she was not satisfied with having three daughters, so she had to add another son when she was over forty.

When Gu Xinrui's father had just died, her younger brother was in elementary school at that time, and Xinrui went to her brother's parent-teacher meeting instead of her mother, but a little classmate who didn't know how to know how to do it shouted to her younger brother: "Gu Xinyan, your mother is here!"

The new Rui, who has not yet been married, is so ashamed that his face is flushed.

"And after you get married, you still have to repay the family's more than a million debts?" The software engineer lifted his glasses again, and there was no smile in his eyes.
