Chapter 44 Chapter 44
The floor keys lit up one and minus one, and they went to the basement on the negative floor, while Ye Zhaojue's driver was waiting outside the building.
The three of them are in the same confined space, but Ningxia is awkward. She looked at Jiang Yiran on the left, and then at Ye Zhaojue on the right, both of them had a normal look, but in Ningxia's eyes, it was as uncomfortable as dripping wind oil essence in her eyes.
It wasn't until someone came in halfway that this inexplicable love faded a little.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the middle-aged man walked out first, and Ye Zhaojue looked at Ningxia, "I'll go first." ”
Ningxia smiled in return, "Hmm." ”
Jiang Yiran's gaze swept over, Ye Zhaojue bowed slightly, and the courtesy was thoughtful.
In front of this man, Jiang Yiran will always have a kind of anger that is a villain, and his eyes intersect, and all the words with a narrow temperament can be worn on his head in an instant. It's a terrible feeling.
Ningxia once asked him: Why don't you look down on Ye Zhaojue, what is wrong about him?
In fact, he is very good no matter what, even if he is older, it is not a disadvantage in Jiang Yiran's opinion. A thirty-year-old man has walked a long way, has a lot of experience, Ningxia has just entered the society, no matter how clever and smart he is, he is just a young girl with little experience, someone can replace him to guide him, and he can retire with peace of mind.
But it was precisely because Ye Zhaojue was good everywhere that Jiang Yiran was even more opposed to Ningxia associating with him.
He understands Ningxia's temper and character, she loves to laugh, she can pretend, she is too good at hiding her feelings. He knows better than anyone that she actually has a sensitive-sensitive side, and she has her little inferiority. This is probably a common problem of children with unhealthy families, who are prone to lack self-confidence and self-denial.
At present, the development of the two is smooth, and she has not yet faced Ye Zhaojue's family and career, once they meet head-on, the potential gap will be exposed. At that time, how will she deal with herself, how will she fill this gap in destiny? Being destined to be a neighbor does not mean that social status is also equal.
Sometimes he even feels that, putting aside family and career, there is a certain generation gap between the two of them. He suspects that once the love period is over, there will be a lack of common ground between the two.
What to talk about? Talking about cake? Talking about movies? Talking about novels? Every time she thought of this, Jiang Yiran sighed helplessly, Ningxia is very ordinary, her life is good, it is a world completely different from Ye Zhaojue, a narrow, simple, and unchanging world. What she can talk about, Ye Zhaojue may not be interested, and what Ye Zhaojue can say, she may not understand.
Considering all the disadvantages, he always considered them inappropriate.
Not all girls are suitable to be Cinderella, you must know that Cinderella in the fairy tale is actually a daughter of a big family in trouble, Cinderella wears a crystal slipper and dances with the prince, first of all, she has to be able to dance.
He didn't mean to belittle Ningxia, he wanted Ningxia to live well more than anyone else, but the door to this matter occasionally has its certain truth.
The two of them had just started, and it was too early to say anything, so he was waiting. He resolutely did not let go, did not relent, if they could continue to run in, of course, but if Ningxia felt pain, he, a long-time roadblocker, would take strong measures to pull her out in time.
***
The weather on Singles' Day is as bleak and mournful as its name, with no warm sun, no white clouds, and only gloomy days.
The car drove into the second ring road, and the high-rise buildings all the way seemed to be covered with a layer of gray atmosphere, which really made people feel uncomfortable. Ningxia was very irritable, holding her head, staring at herself in the rearview mirror outside the window in a daze.
How do you reconcile their relationship?
Alas, a headache.
Her mind was so cluttered that she had no intention of observing her surroundings, and when the car drove into an underground parking lot, she didn't even know where she was.
"Where's this?" Ning Xia and Jiang Yiran unbuckled their seat belts at the same time, her eyes on him.
"Minghe Square." Jiang Yiran nodded to the end.
Oh, the business district. "Shall we go shopping?"
Jiang Yiran opened the door of the main driver, and while stepping out of one leg, he turned his head, "Don't look at me so expectantly, I have the final say today." ”
Isn't that shopping?
Ningxia also opened the door and got off. After her feet touched the ground, she grabbed the car door and jumped over the roof of the car to aim at him, "What can you do if you don't eat or go shopping?" You don't work out here, and you don't like the coffee brewed outside, so why don't you bring me to wash my feet and rub my back? ”
"Looks like a good idea." He contemplated the feasibility.
"Pull it down, don't be funny." Ningxia smiled, closed the door, and walked up to him, "Let's go." You can go wherever you want, as long as you don't sell me. ”
"What if I sold you?" He asked ominously.
"Half of the money is worth me, I can't escape, you have to save me."
He laughed and looked at her, "No." ”
"It's okay if you don't save it." With such a boring and boring topic, Ningxia herself was surprised that she actually had a fight with him, "You just wait to collect my body, I will feel guilty for you for the rest of your life." ”
The dimly lit underground parking lot is still a long way from the exit.
Jiang Yiran looked at the rectangular sky light in front of him, and struggled inwardly. However, this moment was fleeting, and his plans did not change in any way.
Perhaps it has already formed a fixed cognition in his heart, Ningxia feels that there are many couples on the road today, and the closer to the shopping center, the more passers-by are in pairs.
Ningxia saw a large number of people gathered in front of the stage from a distance to grab the propaganda gifts that were thrown out, and the scene was not lively.
Jiang Yiran led her into a building, passed by a row of high-end shops, and found one of the elevators.
There were several billboards in front of the elevator, a large poster, and a few wooden sticks behind it, squatting unsteadily in the corner. One of the posters is particularly brightly made, with a big red heart, courtship - a couple of men and women. The eye-catching headline reads: Singles' Day Blind Date for a Thousand People. The location is on the eighth floor.
Ningxia joked: "I knew there was this event, and I would have signed you up for it." ”
Jiang Yiran didn't lash back, but just glanced at her. At that glance, the meaning melted into it, Ningxia pouted and smiled, and said: "However, you won't be happy to come if I sign up for you, why should I waste my money." ”
"Don't tell me in advance, just take a little effort to kidnap me." Jiang Yiran stepped into the elevator.
"It's rare, you're actually teaching me how to calculate you." As soon as the words came out, Ningxia suddenly felt that something was wrong, "I won't be calculated by you, right?" ”
She was stunned at the elevator entrance and hesitated, Jiang Yiran did not immediately deny it, she took half a step back on her heel and wanted to run, but her wrist tightened and he dragged it in.
Firmly held by him, Ningxia couldn't escape. After all, there were other passengers in the elevator, and several pairs of eyes were staring at them at the same time, and Ningxia was embarrassed to make a big noise. What's more, it was shameful enough to be dragged in by him just now.
To Ningxia's surprise, a mother and son who took the same elevator also went to the eighth floor to attend a blind date. The son did not look very old, twenty-five at most, and his spirit was sluggish, and his head hung down a few times.
After getting out of the elevator, Ningxia twisted his wrist and struggled, glaring at Jiang Yiran angrily, "What kind of family do I need to kiss, don't be funny!" ”
The son was led by his mother and walked in front, and suddenly looked back at Ningxia, Mu Ne's eyes were stunned, "Because you don't want anyone, that's why you want to go on a blind date." ”
...... "You don't want anyone!"
Ningxia stopped struggling and looked at him in the air.
He was still dumbfounded, and when a normal person turned his head to look at others, his chin was slightly cocked, but his chin was wilted and buried in his neck.
His mother looked Ningxia up and down, and asked with a smile: "It's such a coincidence that you also came on a blind date, and so does my son." "The meaning couldn't be more obvious - why don't you get acquainted with each other first?
Ningxia put on a smiling face, "You are mistaken, I accompanied him on a blind date." As he spoke, he pointed to Jiang Yiran, who was quietly watching on it.
Jiang Yiran didn't want to pay attention to the mother and son, so he simply acquiesced.
The mother regretted, "That's right." She examined Jiang Yiran from head to toe again, and the forehead lines on her forehead popped out one by one.
Jiang Yiran is so good at observing words and feelings, he immediately pondered the taste, he is disgusted and despised!
The mother and son rushed to the venue first, and the mother patted her son's hand and whispered to reassure: "It's okay, no matter how good he looks, he can't compare to you, he still needs a blind date like that, there must be something wrong that no one can accept." ”
The son Mumu said, "Well, I understand. He was as unwanted as I was. ”
The mother shouted: "Who said that you have no one to want, it will be a girl for a while, you can pick it with your eyes open." ”
The son didn't seem to listen, and muttered, "I don't want anybody." ”
"You've got someone to ask for!"
"I don't want anybody."
Ningxia, Jiang Yiran: "......"
Watching them walk away, Ningxia asked Jiang Yiran: "Let me be one of the five hundred beauties selected by him, can you bear it?" ”
Jiang Yiran said: "This is the same reason as Ye Zhaojue coaxing you in the morning, you just need to listen to it, you can't take it seriously." ”
"Why did you get on him again?" Ningxia was a little angry, "Don't change the subject!" Do you know that your behavior today is very bad, and you are trapping me in injustice! ”
"I signed up too."
Ningxia was stunned: "What? ”
He looked at her and said word by word: "I also signed up." ”
“……”
He also signed up, that is, to die together......
"Sick!" Ningxia thought he was terminally ill.
"Let's go, let's see the world." Jiang Yiran pulled her forward, "If the deal fails, there is still benevolence and righteousness, can you lose a piece of meat on a blind date?" ”
"I can't lose meat, but my liver hurts!"
"I'm still losing my kidney, let's go." Jiang Yiran dragged her hard to the door of the venue.
A venue temporarily rented by the organizer is decorated with flower balloons, which is a bit vulgar, but it also shows warmth and sweetness.
The two were already late, and the two staff members were cleaning up the sign-in desk outside, and when they saw them pulling and pulling, one of the women asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Jiang Yiran took out the two tickets mailed to him by the organizers.
"You're also here for a blind date?" The other woman looked at Jiang Yiran and clasped Ningxia's hand, surprised.
Ningxia said: "No, that's a scalper ticket!" ”
Two women are full of black lines, and there are a total of 1,000 places in the city, where can a blind date get a scalper ticket......
"Come on, sign here." They flipped over the autograph book that they were about to put away, pointed to two blank columns, and asked Jiang Yiran and Ningxia to sign in, "Sign and go in, you are already late, and the inside has already started." ”
Jiang Yiran shackled Ningxia with his right hand, and couldn't pull away, "You help me sign." ”
Ningxia shook his head, "I don't sign." ”
Jiang Yiran didn't stalemate with her, and without saying a word, he directly changed to writing with his left hand, and the dragon flew and quickly sketched, and the names of the two of them were already on the paper in the blink of an eye.
Ningxia clenched his back molars in frustration, knowing that he should have taken a look at the yellow calendar before going out today.
***
Pushing open the heavy door, it was filled with rows of men and women, and the organizers also thoughtfully provided a rest area for the accompanying parents, just on the east and west sides of the venue.
Under the guidance of the host, everyone was playing drumming and passing flowers, Jiang Yiran pulled Ningxia to sit on the two empty chairs at the end, and the host counted on the stage: "41, 42, 43......"
After sitting down, Ningxia stared at the hand that had been holding his wrist, and said in a breathy voice, "You can let go now, right?" ”
Jiang Yiran's fingers loosened, and Ningxia was finally able to get out. She rubbed her wrist and listened to the host still counting: "65, 66, 67......"
The black pressure in front of him was all heads, men and women sat mixed, a row of 40 people, 25 rows, Ningxia was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
"101, stop." The host smiled and asked, "101, please introduce yourself to the gentleman or lady holding the rose." ”
The applause was sparse.
Everyone waited for nearly half a minute and didn't see anyone get up, and the host calmly adjusted the atmosphere, "I think this must be a beautiful lady, and all the gentlemen give a warm round of applause and welcome her to introduce herself." ”
The applause was overwhelming.
Ningxia was speechless.
She glanced to her side, "I applauded last time, why didn't I drum this time?" ”
"He's not right, this 101 is a man, even if it's a woman, it's not good-looking."
"How do you know? Maybe someone is just a shy beauty? ”
"A beautiful woman needs to come on a blind date?"
Ningxia snorted: "Look at me, I won't be forcibly dragged here by you." ”
Jiang Yiran swept her face roughly, and the meaning of that look was clear: Are you a beauty?
Ningxia suddenly felt that all his temperament in this life had been ignited at one time today.
The boiling applause had gradually subsided, but the man still didn't take the initiative to stand up.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman jumped up on the seat of the group of relatives and friends in the east, the venue was very large, but no matter how big it was, she could hear this woman's loud voice: "Xu Zhengze, do you want to be angry with the old lady!" You stand up for me! ”
Ningxia is extremely sensitive to the name "Xu Zhengze". She thought, it must be a duplicate name or homonym, and it definitely won't be him anyway.
But when a man slowly stood up, when he took the microphone handed over by the staff, when he said the first word into the microphone, Ningxia was dumbfounded.
What's wrong with this world, my uncle forced my niece to go on a blind date, and my gay was forced by my mother to go on a blind date......
…… That hot-tempered aunt who is not afraid of being embarrassed should be his mother, right?
The aunt put away her love and sat down satisfied. Xu Zhengze's cold voice seemed to be frozen with ice slag, and it was still the freezing ice slag in the early morning of midwinter, stiff and a little mechanical, "Xu Zhengze, male, thirty-two." ”
Nope.
It was so short that a large number of people present sighed.
"Is that him?" Jiang Yiran's question was similarly inexplicably brief.
But Ningxia heard the meaning, "It's him." Suddenly thinking of something, she asked, "You say, will he even more brutalize me if he knows that I have encountered such a big mess as him?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Yiran relied on his understanding of Xu Zhengze and said, "If I were you, I would make good use of this mess and have a good relationship with him." ”
"Difficult!" Ningxia said, "You don't know much about him, he is a person who doesn't eat hard and soft, and he doesn't see blood when he kills, it's just a psychopath." I suspect he's manic. ”
Jiang Yiran raised his eyebrows, "Mania? ”
I Ningxia said: "If you lose your temper if you don't feel random, isn't it mania? ”
"Why don't you say it's depression?"
Ningxia rolled his eyes and smiled, "He sprinkled all his anger on us, this kind of person will also be depressed?" ”
Jiang Yiran slowly turned his eyes, his gaze was slightly disdainful, "Sure enough, the hair is long and the knowledge is short." ”
“…… You're enough! ”
"Shhhhh A man and a woman in the front row turned their heads in warning.
Ningxia had to smile back apologetically.
When the two talked in a low voice, the host Typhoon rounded the scene for Xu Zhengze first-class. The drumming and passing of the flowers continued.
After four rounds in succession, it was three female guests and one male guest who got up to introduce themselves.
Among the female guests, one is shy and shy, one is neat and capable, and the other is stupid. The male guest is a fat man, revealing his weight, saying that he is 210 pounds, and wants to find a marriage partner who does not dislike him for being fat and allows him to eat meat. Some people laughed good-naturedly, while others did not show respect and laughed endlessly.
In the new round, the host counted faster and faster, and the fiery rose got closer and closer to the back row.
“108、109、100……”
The crowd was a little out of control, and from time to time there was a low shout - "Slow down." ”
Ningxia saw that the roses had been passed in the front row, she prayed silently, don't give it to her, don't give it to her, and when Xu Zhengze knew that she was coming, she couldn't hide at all.
"111, stop!"
Ningxia threw it on Jiang Yiran's leg like throwing away a hot potato. The master carrying the camera followed all the way, and the people in the front row also looked back and saw it, and he couldn't deny it.
The staff handed over the microphone, Jiang Yiran glanced at Ningxia coldly, Ningxia smiled and blinked innocently.
The host said on stage: "Please 111." ”
Ningxia applauded vigorously.
Jiang Yiran's eyes became even colder.
But he is more straightforward than Xu Zhengze, he stands up freely with a wireless microphone in his hand, his voice is lazy and full of texture, "The surname of the contemptible person is Jiang, the ginger of onion ginger and garlic." That's right, I'm a spoon picker. There is a saying among cooks - the principle of eating does not die, for example, the oil of fried chicken, duck and goose is generally never changed in the kitchen, do not think that the oil will be exhausted after frying for a long time, on the contrary, the longer the time, the more oil. As soon as there is more oil, there will be various snack bars to buy, two or three yuan a catty, cheap. Don't look at the fact that this oil is highly carcinogenic, the dishes made are the most delicious. The finely processed stuff in those high-end restaurants may not be as good as this. He smiled uninhibitedly, "If you have any other restaurant black material you would like to hear, you are always welcome." ”
The audience was silent.
Ningxia's noisy mind was frantically swiped by a sentence: This madman...... This madman...... This madman......
is as witty and smart as her uncle, and she can't accept it! .
