002. Maple leaf and flower autumn sorrow
The blind date with Lu Xudong was introduced by my cousin Di Ming, at that time I had just broken up with my boyfriend who had been in love for four years, and my mother had a bitter face all day long, as if I had been an old girl in my life, and I was so worried that I called me every day to ask me what I thought, why I broke up when I got married, so that I couldn't eat or sleep.
Then I don't know how she complained to my aunt, and a few days later my aunt happily went to my house to say that her son had arranged a blind date for me, and praised the blind date object, so that my mother was so excited that she wanted to marry her daughter to someone else, and then left time and place, and I was sent out to the exhibition like a sacrificial pig and sheep.
Oh, no one sent me, I sent it myself!
The place of the blind date is said to be set by the other party, the famous Dorsett Hotel in H City, so magnificent that I usually feel ashamed of myself when I pass by outside.
When I walked into the hotel lobby wearing a dress of less than 80 yuan from Taobao, stepping on shoes bought at a stall for exactly 30 yuan, and carrying a crossbody bag of 35 yuan, I couldn't help but feel my cheeks burn.
It was the first time I had been to such a high-end and luxurious place, not to mention how nervous and fearful, and I was careful every step on the ground, for fear that I would trample on someone's carpet and not be able to afford it.
I was finally taken to the door of the private room by the waiter, and I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when I looked up into the private room, another big stone weighed heavily on my heart - my cousin Di Ming, who was the introducer, was actually not there! Obviously, the day after my aunt finished talking about the blind date, my mother went to him to check the time and place, and at that time he patted his chest to reassure my mother, saying that he would accompany me!
The first thought that came to my mind was that I had misremembered the private room number, bowed with a red face, and quickly threw a sentence: "I'm sorry I went to the wrong door!" I turned around and wanted to run, but before I could take a step, the other party called out my name in a straight voice: "It's Di Sese, right? I'm Lu Xudong!"
A calm tone that is completely calm!
The name Dessers, which is said to have been given to me by my short-lived father, is taken from the poem "Maple Leaf Blossom Autumn Sorrow".
When I was in elementary school, I was ridiculed for this name, and my classmates called me a shivering and "coward".
Although I am indeed quite timid and cowardly, I was ridiculed by my name all the time, which made me hate my name for a long time, and even hated my father who only had a black and white portrait in my impression.
But when Lu Xudong shouted these three words in a straight voice, I somehow suddenly remembered Lian Jincheng, who was wearing a white shirt and asked me with a gentle smile many years ago: "Maple leaves and flowers are sorrowful in autumn?"
Or when I promised to look at Lu Xudong everywhere, aside from the fact that he was the ideal marriage partner, the more important reason was that when he called out my name, it made me feel very familiar and pleasant?
In short, my first blind date went very smoothly, and the next day Di Ming heard that Lu Xudong personally sent me home that night, and also sat at my house "by the way", and even chatted with my mother very happily, his jaw was about to drop, and his eyes widened and he asked me in disbelief: "He really fell in love with you?"
