Chapter 21: Blind Date (2)
After Chen Mingyu entered Cao Man's boudoir, he saw Cao Man sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling at him.
Cao Man combed his hair into a simple and capable ponytail today, wore light makeup on his face, wore a light blue cardigan on his upper body, a black knee-length skirt underneath, and wore a pair of pure white socks above the ankles on his feet, and a pair of black lace-up leather shoes on the outside.
Chen Mingyu felt very pleasing to the eye at the first glance when he saw Cao Man, and even a little excited.
"Brother Mingyu." Cao Man stood up and said hello with a smile.
Although Chen Mingyu and Cao Man are classmates, because of the close relationship between their two families, the two of them grew up together, so Cao Man has called Chen Mingyu "Brother Mingyu" since he was a child, and he is used to calling him, even if they later became classmates, in private, Cao Man still calls him that.
"Hehe, Xiao Man." Chen Mingyu also smiled and said hello and closed the door smoothly.
Before entering Cao Man's door just now, Chen Mingyu's heart was still bumpy, but now seeing Cao Man's warm smile like a spring breeze, most of the bumpiness in Chen Mingyu's heart immediately disappeared.
"Brother Mingyu, sit down." Cao Man gestured to a chair in front of the dresser and said.
"Okay." Chen Mingyu answered and sat down in a chair.
Chen Mingyu had been to Cao Man's house many times before, and he had also entered Cao Man's room when he was a child, but since they entered puberty, Chen Mingyu has never passed through Cao Man's boudoir again because of the difference between men and women.
At this moment, Chen Mingyu was sitting here, his nose smelling the fragrant smell of the special girl's body fragrance in the room, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Cao Man's boudoir.
Cao Man's room is not large, about fifteen or sixteen square meters, with a wooden bed, a wooden table used as a dresser by the window, and an old-fashioned wooden wardrobe against the wall on the north side. Other than that, there is hardly anything else in the room, so her room, although small in size, looks very clean and tidy.
The walls of the room are plastered with celebrity pictorials, which are nothing more than the most popular TV series stills such as "Shanghai Tang" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", among which there is a poster of Chow Yun-fat combing his big back and wearing a long black coat, just getting out of the car, and looking into the distance, showing Xu Wenqiang's chic temperament of the Shanghai Beach boss vividly!
Chen Mingyu also found that almost all the celebrity posters posted in Cao Man's room were male stars, and there was only one poster of female stars, and there was only one poster of female stars, and it was also a photo with Chow Yun-fat, which shows that Cao Man still has a girlish heart.
After Cao Man sat down on the edge of the bed, he asked, "Brother Mingyu, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?" ”
Chen Mingyu thought about it, he had met Cao Man during the Spring Festival last year, and they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year since they were children, so he said, "Yes, time flies so fast!" ”
Cao Man smiled slightly and said: "Last year, during the Chinese New Year, we had dinner together, and I also said that I would go to the provincial capital to play with you during the summer vacation this year, and you promised it at the time, but then you didn't fulfill it!" ”
Chen Mingyu said a little embarrassed: "I went to the provincial special service brigade for an internship this summer, but I didn't find time, because I broke my promise." I'm sorry, Man. ”
Cao Man chuckled and said, "I'm not blaming you, why are you apologizing, I know you're busy with work, and you didn't mean to break your word." ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Thank you for your understanding! ”
Cao Man smiled again and said, "Brother Mingyu, you definitely wouldn't have thought that we would meet in this way this time, right?" ”
Chen Mingyu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yes, I really didn't expect it!" ”
Cao Man asked expectantly, "Brother Mingyu, how do you feel about this arrangement?" ”
Chen Mingyu said: "To be honest, I think this feeling is really strange. The two of us have been playing together since we were children, and we have been classmates for so many years, but now we are arranged to go on a blind date in this way, which is even more nonsensical than Stephen Chow's movie! ”
Cao Man was amused and laughed, and after laughing for a while, he said: "This is the rule passed down by the elders, and it's not good if we don't follow it." ”
After hearing Cao Man's words, Chen Mingyu couldn't help but be surprised! Cao Man's sentence seems to be very informative!
At the same time, he also keenly felt that since he entered this room, Cao Man has been acting very calm and calm, as if there is no embarrassment, and his eyes are also very bright! This made him realize that Cao Man might have known about their blind date a long time ago! Moreover, Cao Man doesn't seem to have any resistance to this matter, and seems to be very accepting!
Could it be that Cao Man really fell in love with himself and wanted to deal with him?
In fact, Chen Mingyu didn't want to be presumptuous, he knew that with his external conditions and his identity as a criminal policeman of the Public Security Bureau, he was definitely outstanding among the young descendants of Shuangmiao Town! Cao Man grew up with him since childhood, and they didn't have some ambiguous feelings that seemed to understand when they were children, and now Cao Man has become a Tingting girl, and it is normal to have a good impression of herself, or to have a feeling of admiration.
Moreover, Chen Mingyu also has a good impression of Cao Man, it can be said that Cao Man's external conditions, personality, work, family background, etc., there is nothing to find fault with, and the two of them can really be called a good match.
If it weren't for Chen Mingyu's heart, he would definitely take this blind date seriously.
But now, his heart is full of Tang Xinyue, if it were another woman, Chen Mingyu wouldn't mind having an affair with her, but in the face of Cao Man, especially when he felt that Cao Man seemed to have a lot of feelings for him, Chen Mingyu definitely couldn't mess around, so he had to secretly scream bitterly, thinking about how to explain this matter to Cao Man?
After being silent for a while, Chen Mingyu still decided to show his attitude from the beginning that the so-called long pain is better than short pain, and this is responsible for Xiao Man and himself, so he said: "Xiao Man, I think my parents are really funny, and they actually arranged a blind date for the two of us in this way." I think, since I was a child, I have always regarded you as a sister, and my parents actually gave some mandarin duck scores, which is really ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Mingyu suddenly found that Cao Man's face instantly turned from white to red, so he immediately stopped his mouth, nervously waiting for what Cao Man would say.
Cao Man also lowered his head slightly and was silent for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "Brother Mingyu, I'm ...... Can I ask you a question? ”
Chen Mingyu hurriedly said: "Yes! OK! You ask, whatever you ask! ”
Cao Man asked, "You have a girlfriend, don't you?" ”
Chen Mingyu didn't expect her to ask such a direct question as soon as she came up, so she laughed dryly, but still said frankly: "Yes, I have a girlfriend." ”
Cao Man asked again, "You two are classmates?" ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Yes, we are classmates of the police academy, and now we ...... It's a colleague. ”
Cao Man said faintly: "Then you can meet every day, just right." ”
Chen Mingyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Both of us are very busy with work, although we are in the same unit, we don't see each other often, hehe......"
After finishing speaking, Chen Mingyu felt that what he said was really redundant, and there was no need to explain it at all! What's wrong with you today? Why are we so nervous in front of this little girl Cao Man! This is completely unreasonable! You must know that when I used to chat with senior officials at the municipal and departmental levels, or talk about projects of hundreds of millions of yuan with business tycoons, I was not so nervous!
Alas! Could it be that this is the hero who is sad about the beauty?
At this time, Cao Man asked again: "What about her...... Is it good-looking? ”
"Uh......" Chen Mingyu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's still ...... It's okay. ”
Cao Man exhaled lightly and said, "Brother Mingyu, I understand. I won't embarrass you about this today, and when you're gone, I'll tell my dad that I didn't have a crush on you. ”
Chen Mingyu couldn't help but be stunned again, and then explained: "Xiaoman, I'm really embarrassed about today's incident!" I just got home today, and during lunch, my dad suddenly said that I should come over and go on a blind date with you, and I didn't even prepare for it in advance. You know, my dad's temper ......."
"Brother Mingyu, you don't need to say it, I understand." Cao Man interrupted Chen Mingyu's words, "In order to make the faces of both of our parents passable, you stay here for a few more minutes and then leave." After that, I'll explain to my parents that it won't bother you, okay? ”
Chen Mingyu was even more embarrassed by Cao Man's words, as if he had failed Cao Man, but he didn't say much, so he still apologized: "Xiaoman, I'm really embarrassed today." ”
Cao Man smiled slightly, and said generously: "It's okay, Brother Mingyu, you don't have to apologize." It's me, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my brother. ”
"Apologize for your brother?" Chen Mingyu said suspiciously.
"Yes, apologies for my brother. My brother actually already knows that you are in a relationship, and he has also heard that your girlfriend is from a good family, and her parents seem to look down on you. When my brother came back a few days ago, he told Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen about it, probably because of this reason, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen arranged for us to go on a blind date. However, you also know that my brother has no bad intentions, and he did this in the hope that the two of us can deal with each other. But my brother is so stupid, and he doesn't want to think about it, how can this kind of thing be reluctant. So, Brother Mingyu, I hope you don't blame my brother if my brother has no malicious intent. Cao Man said.
After listening to Cao Man's words, Chen Mingyu understood why Cao Man's brother Cao Cheng wanted to wink at himself in the hall just now, it turned out that there was such a play here!
Cao Cheng works in the county industrial and commercial bureau, and he is still a deputy section chief, and he can be regarded as a person in the small circle of officialdom in Huayang, as the so-called officialdom has no secrets, Cao Cheng knows that it is normal for him to know that little thing between him and Tang Xinyue.
Originally, Chen Mingyu was very angry at the father who secretly told his parents that Tang Xinyue's father was dissatisfied with his family, and even wanted to find out this person and fix him to see if he would still be so gossip in the future!
But now, after knowing that the person who "informed" was Cao Cheng, and Cao Cheng's purpose was to match his sister to marry him, the anger in Chen Mingyu's heart immediately disappeared, and he felt even more sorry for the Cao family brothers and sisters.
"Hehe, Xiaoman, you are serious, I have been playing with Brother Cheng since I was a child, Brother Cheng's personality, can I still not understand? This time, there are thousands of things to say, and it's all my fault! Chen Mingyu said sincerely.
Cao Man stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, none of us should take the initiative to admit responsibility, if you want to talk about it, in fact, this is a well-intentioned misunderstanding." Brother Mingyu, let's just assume that this incident hasn't happened today, or it's the same as before, okay? ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Hehe, okay! ”
"Then you promised me during the Chinese New Year last year to entertain me well in the provincial capital this summer, but you didn't fulfill it, and you have to find an opportunity to compensate me in the future, how about it?"
"No problem, I'll make amends!"
"A word?"
"It's a deal!"
Chen Mingyu and Cao Man looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
