After thinking about it for a long time, I sent Mi Cai this WeChat message: "What do you think about marriage? ”

Putting his phone aside, he took a puff of cigarette before he said to Robben: "Before life is stable, the word marriage is too far away from me!" ”

Robben nodded and said: "I didn't think about it before, but when I went back to Beijing this time and saw my father and mother, I suddenly felt that they were old, and I couldn't tell what it was like to be in my heart, obviously I was at an age where I should repay them all these years, but I never repaid them......"

Robben raised his head and exhaled the cigarette in his mouth, as if he saw his guilt and apologies in the smoke.

I think Robben's compromise makes sense, because we can't resist the squeeze of the years after all, and love is always fluctuating, and in the end, we are tired and unwilling to capture the love we originally wanted, and find someone to live by mistake.

In the silence between me and Robben, Mi Cai finally replied to my message, and she asked me rhetorically, "Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?" ”

I stared at the message for a long time, and presumably the word marriage was also unfamiliar to her, so she chose to throw the ball back to me without an opinion for the time being.

So I didn't get a response, and I didn't dwell on the question anymore, but just replied with a "casual ask" to let her rest early, and then ended this conversation, but I knew in my heart that on the long march of love, we still have to run in with each other for a long, long time......

……

Time continues to move forward, tomorrow is the day of Mi Zhongde's birthday party, so I was in a state of anxiety all night, in fact, I was not mentally prepared to go to this birthday dinner as Mi Cai's boyfriend, I am sure that I will inevitably be asked questions such as what to do, which will be embarrassing for me and for Mi Cai.

I couldn't sleep, I made myself a cup of tea, turned on the computer, browsed the recruitment information of major websites on the Internet, and in the past few days, I have returned the management of the "Fifth Season" bar to Le Yao, and Le Yao is also very efficient to find a bar manager to take care of the bar, so I have been recovering for a short time, and I have begun to prepare for a new job.

After screening some companies to submit resumes, I finally closed the notebook, and the time was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, lying back in bed again, habitually picked up the mobile phone, only to find that there was a WeChat sent by Mi Cai had not been read, opened the message, she asked me to get up early tomorrow, accompany her to prepare a birthday gift for Mi Zhongde.

I replied "No problem", and soon Mi Cai replied with a message: "Why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"You're not sleepy, aren't you resting!"

"I'm working on Zhuomei's work plan for the first quarter of this year, and I'm going to take a break right away."

"Well, we'll see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

sighed inexplicably, put the phone back on the bedside cabinet, and then lit the last cigarette before going to bed for himself, but the suppressed feelings were not alleviated, only felt that he was torn in half, half of them were eager to complete the run-in of love earlier, and half of them were helpless about this bad status quo, this feeling was really bad, so I lost sleep this night!

……

Even if I had insomnia, I still woke up early the next day with the alarm sound, but because of the extreme lack of sleep, the whole person seemed a little sluggish.

After washing, I found a decent suit from the cabinet and put it on, and then made breakfast, and after a while, Mi Cai came over.

And from the moment she entered the house, I looked at her, because she didn't deliberately dress up today, and her clothes were just a set of professional clothes that she would wear at work.

"I'm going to attend your uncle's birthday party today, and there are so many celebrities on the scene, don't you dress up, dress up?"

Mi Cai shook her head and said to me, "Let's have breakfast quickly, the time is very tight, we have to rush to Shanghai before noon." ”

Of course, I know that Mi Cai didn't deliberately dress up to accommodate me, and the two people who can't hold hands can't hold hands, I'm so simple, but she's glamorous.

My sense of burden became heavier and heavier, and my heart struggled violently, after all, she was the CEO of Zhuomei, and it was absolutely inappropriate to dress like this, but ...... I'm sad to get through that hurdle myself!

At this moment, I have a deeper understanding that no matter how perfect your love fantasy is, you still can't escape the cage of reality after all, because no one can survive independently of society, and you must abide by the laws of real society.

I finally said to Mi Cai with a smile on my face, "Come buy me a set of clothes later." ”

Mi Cai was a little surprised, but quickly understood what I meant, and nodded.

I'm very grateful that she didn't ask "why", which made me feel less lost after compromise, but only a little less, and my heart was still lost after all.

……

After breakfast, Mi Cai and I went to the mall, and after she gave me a Burberry suit and bought a gift for Mi Zhongde, we drove to Shanghai together.

About an hour later, we came to the villa where Mi Zhongde lived in Shanghai, and today's noon banquet was a family banquet, attended by Mi Zhongde's family, and the evening banquet was invited by friends and some core backbones of Zhuomei.

Mi Cai parked the car outside the door, waiting for the door to open, I subconsciously looked into the yard, it was already full of all kinds of luxury cars, it seemed that there were not many relatives who came to attend the family banquet, so I inevitably felt the pressure.

After weighing it for a while, he finally said to Mi Cai beside him: "Otherwise, I won't participate in the family banquet at noon today, and I will join everyone at the dinner party in the evening." ”

"Why?"

I was silent for a while and said very frankly: "I am not mentally prepared yet, and I don't have the confidence to face your family as your boyfriend." ”

Mi Cai's tone was a little unhappy and asked, "Then are you my boyfriend?" ”

"Yes, so I can't embarrass you, if your family asks about my job, it's hard for me to speak, and I'm sure they have a hard time accepting that I'm temporarily unemployed."

"Why do we have to connect work to our relationships?"

"If you can put yourself in your shoes, I think you'll understand me."

During the dispute between the two, the nanny had already opened the door, but Mi Cai did not drive the car in, and she looked at me with a complicated face.

Suddenly, there was a horn behind the car, and the two subconsciously looked back and found that a white R8 was blocked behind, and then a young woman wearing a red jacket and looking to be in her 20s came out of the car.

Mi Cai said to me, "It's my sister." ”

"Mi Zhongde's daughter!" I read it in my mind, and I couldn't help but look back again.
