I found a Lanzhou ramen near the community, we sat down to eat and drink, asked him about his usual work and life, maybe there were two exchanges, I invited him to eat again, Mr. Ma and I were familiar with it, and told me while eating. He is a native of Hegang, Heilongjiang, and came to Beijing after graduating from Heilongjiang University, and has been engaged in IT network-related work for three or four years. This kind of position is usually very irritable, and basically deals with customers every day, repairing computers, repairing networks, repairing wires, and often working late.

Like tens of thousands of Beipiao, Mr. Ma rented a house and almost never used the kitchen, breakfast on the street, noon at the unit, dinner in a small restaurant, eating rice bowls or noodles. The purpose of going home is to sleep and play games until late at night. Originally, Mr. Ma was introverted, and he was introduced to him twice a few years ago, but there was no result because the woman didn't look at it. After a long time, Mr. Ma became even less confident in love. People are more and more lazy, there is no chance to participate in any activities and parties, life is becoming more and more monotonous, the more monotonous the more negative, Mr. Ma is now a two-point and one-line life, going to work and going home to play games.

He rarely buys clothes, unless his previous clothes are worn out and there is no change, so he goes to the clothing wholesale market to pick two pieces at random, and he can wear them, and he never considers color matching and fashion trends. There are fewer and fewer hobbies, basically concentrated on the Internet, Mr. Ma loves to watch Japanese anime the most, so his biggest hobby is to collect anime character dolls, experts call "figures", followed by changing computers, which may be related to his career, he is still more interested in electronic products, but only computers, mobile phones are not counted.

"When was the last time you were with someone?" I asked.

Mr. Ma thought for a while: "How to deal with it?" I said that blind dates are not counted, they are the kind of people who start dating, both formal and informal. Mr. Ma shook his head and said then no, I was surprised and said that it is impossible, you are in your twenties, have you never been in love? Even if you have been dating for a week.

"That'...... Only half a time at most. Mr. Ma replied. Mr. Ma told me that it was last year, when the leaders of the company saw that there were too many single employees, they organized activities, gathered single male and female employees, and held a love party.

In the same group as Mr. Ma is a young girl surnamed Jiang in the Ministry of Personnel, a native of Hebei, with a somewhat introverted personality, although her appearance is mediocre, but she is still a good girl overall, she is twenty-seven years old, probably because the conditions are relatively ordinary, and she is not lively, so she is always single. Everyone in the company thinks that a stuffy man like Mr. Ma should be quite suitable with Miss Jiang, and maybe he can spark.

Although Miss Jiang's conditions are ordinary, the girls are ordinary and have high spirits, and they all hope to find a man who is stronger than themselves, so they are not too interested in Mr. Ma. But the rules of the sorority can't be broken, so I agreed, probably because I think I am just a colleague with Mr. Ma, and I lack understanding, maybe I can find a lot of advantages in him after a period of time. So the two began to date, Mr. Ma didn't know much about the object, and Miss Jiang knew that this kind of IT man was inexperienced, so she took the initiative to ask him to go shopping and eat. When he was shopping, Mr. Ma basically didn't look at anything, only when he passed by the audio and video, he had to go in and see it as if there was a magnet inside.

During the meal, Miss Jiang deliberately looked for a topic, and Mr. Ma only replied with one sentence: "It's okay." Even when she asked Mr. Ma's parents what kind of work they were doing, he actually replied like this, which surprised Miss Jiang. Mr. Ma hurriedly explained, meaning that his parents' work was okay, not much good but not too bad. After the meal, Mr. Ma didn't seem to have any intention of paying, and Miss Jiang was a little embarrassed, so she had to take the initiative to pay the bill. When she paid for it, she didn't see any humble behavior from Mr. Ma, which made her a little disappointed. Although the purpose of dealing with the object is not to eat the man, but when he comes out on a date, as a man, he has to take the initiative to settle the bill, which is like a gentleman.

Even so, Miss Jiang was not discouraged, because she heard that men and women in Europe and the United States are equal, whether it is a partner or after marriage, both of them have a clear score, and the husband and wife have to pay an IOU to borrow money, so Miss Jiang plans to continue to observe for a while, otherwise if she gives up now, it is tantamount to not abiding by the rules of the sorority.

When she came to the mall to look at the clothes, Miss Jiang wanted to buy a skirt, and when she saw Mr. Ma's own dressing style, she basically didn't plan to ask for his opinion, but chose it herself. I found something I liked better, and politely asked Mr. Ma how it was, Miss Jiang thought that he might still say "It's okay", but it wasn't, but shook her head in denial. Miss Jiang was very surprised, so she asked him what he thought was wrong, Mr. Ma called up two pictures from his mobile phone, it was a female character in a Japanese comic, also wearing a dress, the color and style were somewhat similar to the one that Miss Jiang chose, but it was more sexy and exaggerated, and it was also very revealing. Miss Jiang was a little speechless, and smiled awkwardly and said that this kind of clothes could not be worn in reality, but Mr. Ma said that he would order them from a garment factory, and Miss Jiang didn't look at him as a joke, and she didn't even have the interest in buying clothes.

Within ten days, Miss Jiang wanted to give up, but the rules of the sorority could not be broken, so she thought of an idea, looked at the weather forecast to find a rainy day, and deliberately asked Mr. Ma to go out shopping, and when she arrived near his house, the rain was not small, Mr. Ma asked Miss Jiang to take shelter from the rain at home, and she went up. Miss Jiang's small abacus is that generally both men and women are alone in the man's house, and most of the men will want to have some intimate behavior, so that Miss Jiang can stop the relationship in advance under the pretext of breaking the rules of the sorority.

Sitting at Mr. Ma's house, I didn't expect the rain to get heavier and heavier, Miss Jiang was a little worried, if she ran out, the weather would not be good to go home. Mr. Ma turned on the computer and played the game by himself, and Miss Jiang was bored in the room looking at this and touching that. At that time, Mr. Ma lived near Weigong Village, and there were no bookshelves in the rental house, so the dolls and CDs could only be placed on the dining table, and he usually ate next to the computer.

Among the nearly 100 hand-made dolls, Miss Jiang found the sexy dress beauty that Mr. Ma suggested that she had ordered in the mall that day. She picked it up and looked at it, then put it back in her hand. Wanting to walk from the dining table to the bathroom, to step over the stack of CDs piled up on the floor, Mr. Ma seemed to have a sixth sense and said loudly: "Be careful!"

This voice scared Miss Jiang so much that she almost fell, but instead scraped down the pile of CDs that were more than half a person high, several of them fell apart, and the CDs inside fell out. Mr. Ma hurriedly rushed over and saw that two plates had been scratched, and his hands were trembling, as if what was in front of him was not a disc, but a pet that he had kept for more than ten years and was about to die. Miss Jiang hurriedly helped him pick it up, Mr. Ma burst into tears, and Miss Jiang said that she would buy a new one for you, but Mr. Ma refused. He said that he was not very comfortable and wanted to lie down, so he went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and never spoke again.
