009 Arrive on time
This morning, after his wife and children left home, Wu Bo slept until 12 o'clock at noon.
The midday sun was vicious, and it was hot outside.
Wu Bo went downstairs to eat a rice bowl in a small restaurant, and knew that there was nowhere to go, so he went home for a nap.
When I woke up, the hour hand pointed to 13:40 p.m.
Wu Bo suddenly remembered that he had asked that dance partner in the Hualong Ballroom yesterday afternoon, and at two o'clock this afternoon, they went to Langtaosha Teahouse to drink tea together.
"Yesterday afternoon, when I asked her out for tea, she didn't make it clear whether she would come or not, would she let my pigeons go?" Wu Bo was silent for a moment, thinking: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come, if she doesn't come for tea, I can go to the dance hall to find someone else to dance!" ”
Thinking of this, Wu Bo turned off the computer and went out with the attitude of giving it a try.
A forty-year-old woman is like a jar of old cellar that has been brewed for many years, and only by tasting it slowly can you feel her unique mellow aroma.
Liu Xiaoying's husband is a highly respected cadre of a state organ, and due to work needs, he was transferred to Jindu, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu, as the director of the urban construction bureau.
He has a lot of construction projects in his hands, and his work is very busy, and he can only go home for one night a week.
Liu Xiaoying, who used to be the head nurse of a hospital, quit her job at the hospital because she had to take care of her son, who is in his third year of high school in the city, to eat, live and go to school.
Since her son was going to university this year, she did not go to Jindu with her husband.
She doesn't like to soak on the mahjong table all day long like a small citizen, and she has no extra hobbies except for getting up in the morning to run and exercise.
When she was younger, she loved dancing and also loved listening to music.
Sometimes, she hummed familiar songs with the accompaniment of music, but she was afraid that the music would be too loud and affect the rest of the neighbors, so she sang very depressed.
Over time, I don't want to sing.
After her son went to school, she was bored after staying at home alone for a long time, so she went shopping, and she often walked on the crowded streets sweating profusely.
Yesterday afternoon, she also went to Hualong Ballroom for the first time because of curiosity.
When she entered the ballroom, she found that the lights inside were rather dim, not as bright as the simple ballroom lights of her youth.
She wanted to leave quickly, but when she saw the tenderness and affection of the pairs of dance partners, she felt overwhelmed.
Since she is a conservative woman with a slight status, she can't dance with those who are not good or bad, and she wants to find a decent dance partner among these men who are uneven.
There were many cheeky men who invited her to dance, and she always looked at each other, shook her head and said, "I can't dance, you go find someone else, right?" ”
Someone asked, "Since you can't dance, what are you doing in the ballroom?" ”
She also asked herself, "Since you can't dance, what are you doing in the ballroom?" ”
She searched among the men who smelled of sweat, but she never found a dance partner that pleased her.
Just as she was about to leave, Wu Bo appeared beside her.
She secretly looked at the clean, decent, slightly twisted man beside her, and hoped that he would invite her to dance, but the man sat beside her and wasted several dance music.
When Wu Bo plucked up the courage to extend an invitation to her, she gladly accepted; When he danced affectionately in his arms, she felt a girlish impulse.
When they warmly hugged each other and swayed together to the rhythm of the music, Liu Xiaoying was completely intoxicated.
Her heart had been melted by this strange young man, who danced and faltered like a pair of flying geese, soaring in the blue sky and anchored in the clear waters......
When the dance music ended, she regretfully let go, and when Wu Bo extended her invitation again, she was ecstatic.
After the dance, she was afraid that she would never see Wu Bo again, and she felt a little lost.
When Wu Bo invited her to tea, she replied ambiguously out of the resentment that a noble lady should have, and when Wu Bo left abruptly, she regretted it a little.
"Will this young man go to the teahouse tomorrow and wait for me?" She asked herself countless times, "Did the young man deliberately make me happy?" ”
"It's weird, I don't even know other people's names, and I still think about him, is my husband not here, and I really want to indulge myself?"
"What does this person do, shouldn't he be a vagrant, what if he meets a liar?"
……
A series of questions piled up in her mind, making it difficult for her to sleep.
Due to her husband's busy work and work in other places, Liu Xiaoying has not been together for almost a month, and tonight, she is like a girl who has just fallen in love, immersed in a colorful world.
Suddenly, there was a strange feeling that made her feel dry and fascinated again and again, and pushed her to the other side of happiness again and again......
When Wu Bo came to the Sentosa Tea House, he saw the dance partner standing at the door yesterday afternoon from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and said excitedly:
"Eldest sister, I thought you weren't coming?"
Liu Xiaoying smiled and said, "Do you think I look like a person who doesn't keep my promises? ”
"Not like, not like!" Wu Bo nodded and repeated the word "not like" twice, amusing her with a simple and pedantic look.
Liu Xiaoying smiled and said: "Handsome guy, don't call me before the eldest sister, as if I am an old woman, my name is Liu Xiaoying." ”
"Then can I call you Sister Liu?" Wu Bo introduced himself a little flattered and said: "My name is Wu Bo, so call me Xiaobo." ”
Liu Xiaoying was wearing a white dress, her body was plump, her face was ruddy, which was not commensurate with her forty years, her face was covered with a layer of light makeup, and although her skin was a little dark, she looked like she was only in her thirties at most.
The two took the elevator to the fifth floor without saying a few words.
"Welcome!" A waitress stood at the elevator entrance and walked up to them and asked enthusiastically, "How many of you are there?" ”
"Just the two of us!" Wu Bo replied.
"Do you sit in a private room or in the hall?" The waiter asked.
Wu Bo glanced at the hall and saw that the lights inside were dim, and it was full of people, afraid that someone would know him, so he didn't ask Liu Xiaoying's opinion, so he said to the waiter:
"Let's sit in the box!"
"Sir, the minimum cost for our box is fifty yuan."
Wu Bo asked: "What is the minimum consumption?" ”
"The minimum consumption refers to the private room fee of 30, and each guest buys a cup of tea for 10 yuan, and gives a melon seed." The waiter said.
Wu Bo said briskly: "Okay, you can open a private room for us according to the minimum consumption." ”
The private room is very small, with a bench sofa and a glass coffee table, playing charming soft music, and the pink lighting is very soft, which is extremely warm and romantic.
After the two sat down on the sofa, the waiter quickly put two cups of tea and a plate of melon seeds for them, smiled mysteriously at the two, and said:
"Please slow down!"
After the waiter softly closed the door of the private room and left, Liu Xiaoying didn't say a word, and the two were alone together, both looking a little embarrassed.
