In the past, I always seemed to be very curious about what the future would look like, but now I am a little indifferent.

Xia Qixi is a little white in the company, but don't get me wrong, this "little white" is not the more popular meaning nowadays, the heroine of the TV series, no matter what kind of person or predicament she faces, she can be full of confidence, and turn evil into good fortune, even if she is killed by someone and loses her husband, she will forgive with a smile in the end, and give a big hug. At the same time, there must always be at least two handsome and golden and particularly protective male protagonists and male supporting actors, which is really a fairy tale. However, Xia Qixi refers to the little people at the bottom of the company, who work the most overtime every day but receive the least salary, and have no interpersonal relationship at all.

Xia Qixi naturally stayed in this city as soon as she graduated from university, and now it is her fourth year, and the past four years are like a gust of wind blowing around her, making her heart grow grass unconsciously.

In the past four years, I have changed jobs twice and moved from the south of the city to the north of the city six times, and the number of people who can barely be called friends around me has turned negative. I didn't save any money in my hand, but I was getting older, and the pressure from all sides would flood many times a day, and every time Xia Qixi was on the verge of collapse, I wanted to simply resign, and then find a place to go out for a walk, and spend the money I had, and it would be good to stay wherever I went. It's just that in the end, it's just a matter of thinking. Her strong intellect and self-esteem effortlessly pulled her back, found a place where no one was around, took a deep breath or shed a few tears of sympathy when it was serious, touched up her makeup in the small mirror, and continued to face reality.

But just last month, the self-proclaimed extraordinary Xia Qixi finally couldn't bear the pressure from all sides of the family, and made up her mind to meet a blind date. It was introduced by a relative at home, the son of a relative and classmate, although he is not a young talent, but fortunately, he was out of front in his early years, earned a sum of money, and now he is back with his parents. There is a house and a car. Relatives have been chattering on the phone, and she hummed and agreed. In fact, she doesn't care about all of this, although she has already reached the age of marriage, but Xia Qixi's heart is not ready to become someone else's girlfriend, her former classmates are already the mother of the child, but she is still enjoying the loneliness of a person, in the world of emotions and family, her thinking is always slow and afraid, and she can't keep up with the pace of others.

Let's meet when we meet, it's not a big deal. Xia Qixi kept comforting herself in her heart, just do it as a job to complete. Xia Qixi doesn't have a dress that can be done, and it is still the same as usual. Flat shoes, ripped jeans, white shirt, long hair. With a mediocre height, an average figure, and a mark left by pimples on his face, he is not outstanding at all in this fancy world. The only good thing is that he has a baby face, and walking on the street in such a way is often mistaken for a college student who has not yet graduated.

The weekend sunshine is very abundant, the commercial street is crowded, the place to meet is the café that Xia Qixi often comes to, although it is located in the most prosperous business circle in the city center, fortunately, it is a hidden alley behind the building, what she likes is this quiet.

I knew that it was so hot, and I should have to change my skirt to wear it, Xia Qixi got off the bus and complained while speeding up towards the café.

Approaching noon, Yangguan was particularly dazzling, Xia Qixi raised a hand to block his forehead, trying to block a little Yangguan, while lowering his head and hurrying, not noticing at all that the man sitting by the window in the café at this time was looking at her in a daze.

Under this unwitting gaze, Xia Qixi pushed open the door of the café and brought a ray of warm sunlight into the room through the crack in the door.

Xia Qixi stood at the door and looked around, there were not many people at this time, but there were several single men, and they were all about the same age, so they didn't take this matter to heart, so they didn't remember what the person their relatives said on the phone before, and what kind of clothes they were wearing. was about to take out his mobile phone to ask his relatives, but found that the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and then a pure white and slender hand stretched out in front of her, "Hello Xia Qixi, I'm Chen Ziyu"

"Chen Ziyu" Xia Qixi silently recited this name in her heart, thinking which one you are, and it was thorough in an instant, but it was not the object of his blind date.

Xia Qixi gently touched his slender fingers with his slightly damp fingers because of sweating, "Hello, I'm Xia Qixi"

A large glass of caramel macchiato, two small pieces of the Black Forest, and a glass of lemonade, the waiter placed them in order in front of the two of them, and left with a smile.

The air conditioner was on, but the residual heat on Xia Qixi's body had not completely dissipated, and his cheeks were still flushed in a hurry, and he looked down at the food in front of him and didn't speak.

"Don't you wonder how I recognized you?" asked the person on the other side of Xia Qixi, who had been keeping his head down

Xia Qixi raised his head and asked casually, "How did you recognize me", as if he was obedient in the company on weekdays in order to compliment the leader, but the other party didn't seem to care.

"I've seen your pictures"

"Oh" Xia Qixi is obviously not very interested in this issue, and he is not surprised, after all, this is an era of looking at faces, and it is normal to look at photos before meeting.

"But when you were young, you were really cute, with a round face," Chen Ziyu finished and picked up the lemonade in front of him.

This sentence frightened Xia Qixi clearly, and he raised his head and looked at the other party's face, "How do you know what I looked like when I was a child?"

But she also has to admit that when she was young, she was indeed cuter than now, at that time it was a little baby fat little round face, and she liked to laugh when she was fine. On the other hand, now she has long since disappeared from baby fat, her chin is also a little pointy, and the most important thing is that she is not smiling like when she was a child.

Chen Ziyu put the cup on the table, and said unhurriedly, "I went to your aunt's house yesterday, and she showed me all your photos."

Xia Qixi looked at the person opposite and was speechless, thinking that this person is really, he really doesn't know how to excuse himself, let you look at it. But it's not until now that Xia Qixi really sees his face clearly.

According to relatives, Chen Ziyu should be 6 years older than Xia Qixi, but at this time, the face in front of her, which is comparable to her own age, makes her wonder how much water is mixed in her relatives' words. If the introduction of her relatives is true, then she can only sigh silently in her heart, she originally thought that she was already not ageless, but today she met something more powerful.
