In fact, there are only two days of Sino-foreign art exchange in Tokyo, one day is an exhibition of calligraphy and paintings, and the other is an exchange of painters and on-site painting. The rest of the time, the whole group eats and drinks at public expense and hangs out around the tourist attractions. I've been to these places a few times a few years ago, and I don't have a lot of interest, so I should rest. Liao Xiaofei was somehow studying Buddhism during this time, lighting a stick of sandalwood all day long to study the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, and sent me a photo to show me to startle me, and thought that her house was on fire, and I couldn't bear to disturb her when she went so deep into the devil's land.

Then one day in the middle of the night I received a text message from Lu Zhaochao, I had ignored him since the last time he me off at the golf estate, but he had been persistently trying to annoy me further and further down the road. I was already in a semi-sleepy state at the time, but as soon as I saw the photo he sent, I bounced out of bed, and the picture was accompanied by his text commentary: "You male god, and his dignified, lively, pure and charming dance partner." ”

I hurriedly clicked on the photo to see it, and I forgot to remind him that he was dignified and lively, pure and charming, respectively, a pair of antonyms, and a person with both of the above four characteristics must be a schizophrenic. The photo looks like a private dance party, it should have been taken candidly, and the angles and pixels are not so good.

Lu Zhaochao called me directly and said, "Have you seen it, how is it?" ”

I lay on the bed and said, "What a perfect match." ”

He sighed: "Although it is a bit discouraged to say this, but that girl's temperament is indeed good, I heard that she has studied violin for many years......"

I couldn't help but interrupt him: "Do you think Qin Yan is particularly suitable for wearing a tuxedo?" Can you send me a few more photos, hey, by the way, have you taken a video in addition to the photo, preferably a video of him dancing? ”

Lu Zhaochao said: "......"

I continued: "It's a pity that the woman next to him is not so harmonious with his height, and it looks a little lacking in beauty, if only she were three centimeters taller." Not...... The color of her clothes didn't match him too well. ”

Lu Zhaochao said: "Li Qiao, do you know who this woman is? ”

I said, "I don't care who she is, even if she's a Mona Lisa, the color of her clothes still doesn't match him." ”

He said: "No matter how sour you are, you can't change the fact that people are in that hand, but you can only look at the fact that you are a nymphomaniac in this photo." ”

I paused, and then I realized, "Damn, that's true."

I said angrily, "Who is that woman?" ”

Lu Zhaochao didn't sell Guan Zi, and replied to me: "Her surname is Jiang, I forgot what Jiang is, her family is from a neighboring city, and our family has done business with her family before. Today, I found out that she actually had something to do with the Qin family, as if saying that her uncle was the uncle of your male god. Do you understand, people who are close to the water get the moon first. ”

I sorted out this tangled kinship in my mind, and unfortunately found that the two of them were not related by blood, so I ruled out the possibility of **. But I didn't give up and said, "So what, if it's such a close relationship, what would have happened a long time ago, and wait until now?" ”

He said, "Can you convince yourself of this?" That girl is a few years older than you, and the surname Qin has never been in the country, so she can't have a baby kiss so many years ago, right? Anyway, tonight, I see them dancing the national standard hand in hand, and they are quite dependent on each other. ”

I put up with it for a while, and felt that I couldn't stand his idiom level, so I hung up the phone directly.

Four days later, at noon, I was returning home from Nagoya Airport, and after I landed, the driver at home came to pick me up, telling me that my father and Chen Qian had gone to City C to participate in an entrepreneur exchange forum, and that they would not come back until tomorrow, and asked if they would like to let someone come to the house to cook in the evening. I remembered that my teacher told me before I came back that I should find the original manuscript of my previous painting to participate in a competition, and I said, "No, I have something to do later." ”

After going home and putting down my luggage, I asked Xiao Nan to go to the studio, and after finding the original manuscript and telling her everything, it was already half past five in the afternoon. I didn't feel hungry, I just felt sleepy, and I planned to go home without eating.

At this time, I received a text message: "Buckwheat, do you have time to have a meal for me in the evening." ”

I looked at this text message for a long time, and then handed the phone to Xiao Nan: "Can you help me see if there is something wrong with my eyes?" ”

Xiao Nan leaned over and looked at it: "What's wrong?" ”

I pointed to the sender: "You read it to me, how do you pronounce these two words?" ”

Xiao Nan frowned: "Qin Yan? Then he looked at me: "The one who said he wanted your help with something?" ”

I grabbed her arm and jumped up: "yes, it's him!" He's going to ask me out for dinner? Sister Nan, why did he ask me out for dinner?! ”

Xiao Nan was shaken by me and couldn't stand steadily, she withdrew her hand back against her temple and pondered for a while, and said: "Eating, as a social way in modern society, may have many meanings, I guess he wants to thank you for the previous things?" ”

"Whatever!" I barely heard what she said, just lowered my head and texted, "^_^ Okay, what time, where?" ”

About three minutes later, Qin Yan replied to me: "At half past six, the wild goose will return, and the spring will be subcontracted." ”

I immediately replied "yes", and then grabbed the phone like a seizure person and jumped around twice, closed my eyes and fell on the sofa in intoxication, and after a while, Xiao Nan's voice sounded in my ears: "Now there are fifty-three minutes and forty-two seconds until half past six, because it is the evening rush hour, I recommend that you take the subway, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take thirty-five minutes to take the subway." In addition......"

After a few seconds of silence, I opened my eyes and said, "What else?" ”

Xiao Nan looked at me: "You seem to attach great importance to this person, then I think you need to look in the mirror." ”

I was stunned for a moment, rushed to the bathroom and almost vomited blood when I looked in the mirror. From morning to now, I have been running non-stop, my face and hair are like a dirt egg in a weedy pile, I shouted outside: "Sister Nan, you help me make a phone call to make an appointment, I will go to wash my hair first!" ”

When I hurried to the time when I arrived at Yanhui, it was already 6:48, and I was still more than ten minutes late. The waiter led me to the door of the private room, when I pushed the door in, the room was faintly lit with warm colors, the dining table was placed behind a simple screen, and next to the window was a half-human-high mountain stone and a flowing spring.

I couldn't help but take a light step, bypassed the screen, and the person in the seat raised his eyes to look at me, slowly pursed the corners of his lips, and raised his hand to indicate the opposite position: "Coming?" Come and sit. ”

I sat down and smiled, "I'm sorry, but the traffic is so bad." ”

Qin Yan put down the menu in his hand, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea into the bone china cup in front of me, and said disapprehantly: "I have only arrived for a short time." He raised his eyes again: "I heard your father say two days ago that you went abroad, and I thought maybe you would want to eat Chinese food when you came back, so I booked here." I heard that the ancestors of the chefs here have been imperial chefs since the Jiaqing period, and I came here once many years ago, and it is a bit special. ”

I remember that he didn't seem to have said so many things to me at one time, and for a moment he was a little stunned, he put down the teapot and looked at me, and raised his eyebrows: "Buckwheat." ”

I quickly came back to my senses, smiled and said, "Well, I always eat sushi and sashimi in Japan, so it's good to come back and change the taste." ”

He lifted his chin slightly and gestured to the menu in front of me: "Then order." ”

So we began to eat, in the real sense of the word, except for the collision of chopsticks, dishes and teacups, there was hardly any other sound to be heard. After drinking the appetizing pear soup before the meal, I really felt hungry, so I finished eating a whole bowl of rice with the dishes, raised my head and looked at the opposite side, but Qin Yan didn't eat much, and the table was clean. I looked at a few porcelain plates on the table and reacted, most of the dishes I ordered just now were on the sweet side, and the people in their company told me that he didn't eat sweets. I said in annoyance, "I didn't order what you liked, why don't you order something else?" ”

He shook his head and said, "No, I wasn't too hungry originally." ”

I put my chopsticks down and muttered for a few seconds: "Are you going to have anything to do?" Otherwise, I'll take you to a great restaurant, are you more used to eating Western food? ”

But he still said, "Next time." ”

"......" I was helpless, I didn't know what to say, I was silent for two seconds, and then I heard him say lightly: "Buckwheat, in fact, I don't just invite you to dinner today, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that maybe he had something to ask me for help with: "What do you say, so polite." ”

Qin Yan looked at me, his expression did not have the slightest wave, he was silent for a few seconds, and his mouth slowly opened and closed: "I think we can get married, I don't know what you think?" As he spoke, the waiter came in to refresh his tea, and he raised his head and thanked him softly.

And I was suddenly a little dazed, I looked at Qin Yan blankly, and then looked around blankly, not knowing where the voice I heard just now came from in my ears. I thought to myself, could it be that I have made too many fantasies about my dream of marrying Qin Yan, and I have reached the point of mental breakdown?

I said to him, "Wait a minute. Then I took the wet wipes at hand, wiped them on my face twice, and even forgot that I had just carefully drawn eyeliner and applied mascara, and after putting down the wipes, I picked up the tea and took a sip, saying, "Okay, what did you just say?" ”

He looked at me calmly and said again very cooperatively: "I said, I want to ask you to marry me." ”

I almost squirted out the tea in one gulp, put down the teacup and choked for half a minute, I waved my hand and said, "I'm sorry, I ......"

He seemed a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to?" ”

I swallowed for a long time, and when I was finally able to speak normally, I still stammered: "No, no, I'm not unwilling, I just think...... I think it's sudden, we're ...... I haven't been in contact with you, and it's rare for me to even meet each other...... Even if it's a blind date, you have to be in one place to talk about marriage, right? But you're like someone on the street suddenly pulling me up and saying......"

He interrupted me softly: "Are you talking about the question of the basis of feelings?" ”

I was stunned, nodded three times and said, "yes." ”

Qin Yan propped his elbows on the table, and his left hand held his right hand, as if this was his usual thinking posture. He squinted his eyes slightly at me, as if he was considering something, and after a while, he was still extremely calm and said indifferently: "At the beginning of last month, several of our families were in the hot spring villa, and you told me that you forgot to bring the key card, in fact, you brought it, and you lied to me because you wanted to come to my room." Before, you came to the company to look for me, and the company told me that you had waited for me for two hours. Also, there is a sketchbook on the desktop in your studio, and I flipped a few pages at random, and it seems that all of them are drawn by me. So," he looked at me lightly and paused slightly, "so if I'm not mistaken, buckwheat, you like me." ”

Listening to these words, my mind was as chaotic as if suddenly ten kilograms of explosives had exploded. After he finished speaking, he paused and nodded slightly: "Of course, marriage should not only consider feelings, but also many other factors, you can think clearly before answering me." ”

I still didn't slow down, and looked at him in disbelief for a long time: "...... You—You see? ”

He lowered his eyes and poured tea into my cup, and raised his eyes faintly when he heard the words: "Do you mean a key card, or a sketchbook?" After a slight pause, he continued unhurriedly: "The key card accidentally fell out of your pocket when I sent you back, and I saw the sketchbook, before you came into the room that day." ”

I closed my mouth and gritted my teeth, Qin Yan put down the teapot, looked at me and said, "What's the problem?" ”

I closed my eyes, and a possibility flashed through my mind, and I said incredulously: "Could it be that last time I gave you a painting, you said that you owe me a favor, so you have to make a promise?" ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Do you think I'm worth this worth?" ”

I leaned back in my chair, a little overwhelmed. Qin Yan sat there quietly, his left hand resting on the edge of the table, and the tip of his right finger lightly resting on the bone china teacup on the table. His nails are neatly trimmed and beautiful,

After a long silence, my heart still didn't stop from the state of wild beating, and I couldn't even control my voice a little, and grabbed the edge of the chair: "You really want to marry me?" ”

He looked at me calmly: "Don't sue me, you still think I'm joking after saying so much." ”

I was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I promise." ”

Qin Yan looked at me with slightly lowered eyes, and after ten seconds, he gently picked the corner of his mouth: "Buckwheat, you don't have to answer in such a hurry, my offer has always been valid." He tapped his fingertips on the table, "Well, you can think about it again, and if your answer doesn't change before tomorrow, you tell me, and I'll start planning for the wedding." ”
