Chapter Seventy-One: Blind Date
The meals were complete, the dumplings were out of the pot, and the four women sat around the table enjoying the reunion dinner.
Shang Xiaoyu raised his glass and said, "First of all, I wish Tian Yi to become Chairman Tian. ”
"Congratulations, congratulations." Xiao Xiaofei and Xiao Feng said together.
"Secondly, congratulations to Xiao Fei for becoming an ordinary security policeman."
Xiao Xiaofei pouted, it wasn't Shang Xiaoyu and Xiao Feng who took turns to talk to her, so she had the cheekiness to find the leader and open the back door to transfer.
"Finally." Shang Xiaoyu sold Guan Zi and said with a wicked smile, "Congratulations to Comrade Xiao Feng and Comrade Shang Pengyang for rebuilding the old good." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm your mother, you can't just joke." Xiao Feng said.
"How is this a joke, did you answer my dad's phone call just now, and said the words 'Happy New Year'." Xiao Xiaofei took the initiative to break the news.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiaofei's mobile phone vibrated and received a short message.
"Yo Yo Yo, who is this who said 'Happy New Year' to our family Xiaofei." Shang Xiaoyu laughed and teased.
Xiao Xiaofei saw the name on the screen, and shook her head helplessly. Tian Yi next to him leaned up and glanced at it, and said the words Cheng Hantai with his mouth.
"Cheng Han-tae?" Shang Xiaoyu was surprised, "That little milk dog is chasing you?" What does he think, Sassy Girlfriend? ”
"Eat your dumplings!" Xiao Xiao angrily stuffed a dumpling into Shang Xiaoyu's mouth.
After being full of wine and food, Xiao Xiaofei accompanied Xiao Feng to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shang Xiaoyu took a glass of red wine to the balcony to blow the wind alone.
"Drinking alone." Tian Yi also took a cup to accompany her.
"We haven't celebrated the New Year together yet." Shang Xiaoyu looked at this city shrouded in the smell of the New Year.
Tian Yi patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort and said, "Su Yize may be executed soon." ”
"Uncle Su should be very uncomfortable, the two sons are gone." Shang Xiaoyu said worriedly.
"AM is really not as good as before, Aunt Meng has been in the hospital, and Uncle Su runs the company day and night." Tian Yi said.
The New Year's greeting text messages in the mobile phone are one after another, but the blessings that I really want to hear can no longer be heard.
Shang Xiaoyu drank it all in his hand, and then silently returned to the house. Xiao Feng and Xiao Xiaofei both looked at the room worriedly, and Tian Yi could only helplessly comfort the two of them.
As soon as you enter the room, you will be greeted by portraits.
Some laughed, some frowned, some were serious, and some cried.
Shang Xiaoyu sat in front of the easel, picked up the brush again and trembled to outline the lines on the white drawing paper.
The familiar face in front of him jumped on the paper, and Shang Xiaoyu's heart ached.
It turns out that what is more cruel than forgetting is that the figure of the person who is long gone is getting deeper and deeper in your memory.

Three months later.
After the beginning of summer, the weather is much warmer.
As soon as the weather is warm, people are also lazy. At the end of class, Shang Xiaoyu yawned one after another, and Zhang Wanzhu came up and asked with concern: "Didn't you sleep well?" ”
"Didn't fall asleep." Shang Xiaoyu said truthfully. A new resident moved in next door, every day in the middle of the night is either a DJ or a game, Shang Xiaoyu asked him for a theory, but the other party said that he had just returned from the United States and needed to slowly adapt to jet lag.
Zhang Wanzhu thought that Shang Xiaoyu was still trapped by emotional injuries, so he said, "Why don't I arrange a blind date for you." ”
"No, I don't need to." Shang Xiaoyu resolutely refused.
"It's okay, the best way to treat a broken relationship is to start the next one." Zhang Wanzhu said Shang Xiaoyu like a love expert.
"Then you can lend me your great god for healing."
"You don't know that he's on a business trip." Zhang Wanzhu pouted.
Shang Xiaoyu complained: "It's been half a year since you two got engaged, why haven't you turned a regular yet." ”
"Didn't I tell you?" Zhang Wanzhu was suddenly startled, "I will get married on the ninth day of the first month of next month." ”
Shang Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up and said, "I thought you were going to tell me when you were done, and I saved money." ”
"No, weren't you in a bad mood before, I'm afraid of irritating you." Zhang Wanzhu explained awkwardly, and changed his words randomly, "But I found that you really need stimulation, otherwise you still can't get out." ”
"Farewell, my little heart." Shang Xiaoyu was embarrassed and politely refused.
However, reality tells Shang Xiaoyu that women who are immersed in sweetness and happiness always want everything around them to be sweet, for example, Zhang Wanzhu is more keen to introduce her boyfriend than before.
"What are you doing on the big weekend?" Shang Xiaoyu had just woken up from hunger and soaked a pack of instant noodles when he heard the sound of Zhang Wanzhu slamming the door.
"It's exciting." Zhang Wanzhu looked at the instant noodles on the table, and counted, "Why do you eat this, don't put the seasoning packet, what does it taste like." Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go out and have a good time. ”
The "hi skin" in Zhang Wanzhu's mouth turned out to be to try on the bridesmaid dress, and Shang Xiaoyu resisted ten thousand times in his heart.
"Xiao Yu, if you don't do it, no one will do it." Zhang Wanzhu blinked her with big eyes and looked at her pitifully, "The bridesmaid competitors are Gou Yimo except for you, you can't let that little rabbit cub hand me the ring, or let the best man hold her." ”
In the end, Shang Xiaoyu still gave up resistance, randomly selected a suitable bridesmaid dress, and tried it on in a hurry, wanting to find an excuse to go home, but was pulled to a restaurant by Zhang Wanzhu to eat.
"You can order it." Shang Xiaoyu pushed the menu in front of Zhang Wanzhu.
Zhang Wanzhu didn't shirk either, flipped it over, and said: "Pot wrapped meat, boiled meat slices, Mao Xuewang, three fresh, pulled sweet potato, leek cake." ”
"No leeks, allergies." Shang Xiaoyu blurted out.
"When did you become allergic to leeks?" Zhang Wanzhu asked rhetorically, "Okay, let's change it to pumpkin pie, and then have a corn custard, that's all." ”
"I can't finish ordering so much."
Zhang Wanzhu raised his eyes: "There are some that are packed for you to take home, you see that you eat instant noodles at home every day, how can it be nutritious." I don't want you to be my bridesmaid when you are a bridesmaid, with a yellow face and thin muscles like a refugee, and I have to raise you to be white and fat during this time. ”
In fact, as Zhang Wanzhu said, through this month's efforts, she was indeed fattened by Zhang Wanzhu. was so fat that she couldn't wear the bridesmaid dress she had at the beginning, and Zhang Wanzhu sent someone to give her another one while counting her for not being self-controlled.
The wedding was the first time Shang Xiaoyu saw the god of Zhang Wanzhu's family, and he was indeed a handsome guy who was rare in a century. The kind of man who looks chic and mighty, it's no wonder that he likes white rabbits like Zhang Wanzhu.
Looking at the sacred moment when the two exchanged rings, Shang Xiaoyu suddenly had the urge to get married.
So much so that she always fantasized about what her wedding would look like.
But she never fantasized about her groom, because she knew that it was destined to be an impossible person.
*
A month later.
Tian Yi is engaged to a Chinese-Singaporean. The two of them seem to have known each other when they were young, and they met Tian Yi when he was on a business trip.
Xiao Xiaofei and Cheng Hantai are in love. I heard that Xiao Xiao was not active, and she couldn't stand it anymore because of Cheng Hantai's procrastination.
All of a sudden, it seems that the whole world has fallen into the whirlpool of love, and everyone's world has become a happy pink. But Shang Xiaoyu didn't feel any other colors except that he could still see everyone's black smoke entanglement.
"Why did you call me to come for dinner? When a light bulb? Shang Xiaoyu didn't understand Xiao Xiaofei's shameless show of affection.
Cheng Hantai held Xiao Xiaofei's hand, who wanted to speak, took the initiative to take the conversation, and said, "Master, we mainly want you to meet someone." ”
"Blind date?" Shang Xiaoyu could think of the little abacus of these two people with his toes.
Xiao Xiaofei hammered into Han Tai's fist, with a mysterious look, and said, "You see it first, you don't like to change it again." ”
Shang Xiaoyu sighed, thinking that Zhang Wanzhu had also arranged a blind date for her yesterday, and also arranged a time and place for her. Anyway, one is also a meeting, and two are also about, killing two birds with one stone and saving trouble and effort.
"Then Saturday at six o'clock in the afternoon, see you in the water."
"Okay." Xiao Xiaofei and Cheng Hantai looked at each other and smiled, and high-fived victoriously.
Thinking that everyone around her was worried about her, Shang Xiaoyu couldn't refute everyone's kindness, and it was also a good result to go through the motions to reassure everyone.
By the time five fifty-five arrived, a man was already sitting in the agreed seat.
It seems that the other party is a punctual man, not bad.
"Hello, I'm Shang Xiaoyu."
"Hello Miss Shang, my name is Yue Guang."
Yue Guang called the waiter: "What does Miss Shang drink?" ”
"Lemonade." Shang Xiaoyu said.
"Two glasses of lemonade."
The waiter nodded, "Please wait." ”
After a few small words, Shang Xiaoyu felt that Yue Guang was a very well-cultivated man, but he was very trustworthy.
"Actually, I had a boyfriend before, and I still love him now." Shang Xiaoyu really couldn't bear to delay such an excellent man, so he chose to tell the truth.
"Before?" Yue Guang is very good at grasping the key points, "It doesn't matter, everyone has an ex, and the reason for separating from the ex will be a good experience for the next one to avoid." ”
Shang Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head, saying, "We didn't separate for any reason. ”
"What do you mean?"
"He's a people's policeman. He died. Shang Xiaoyu said.
Yue Guang instantly understood, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, then he is very good." ”
"He is not good, his biggest shortcoming is that he is untrustworthy, he said that he would always be by my side and love me all the time, but now he left first. I couldn't be as untrustworthy as he was, so I had to keep my promise to love him all the time. Take the breeze as his embrace, the starlight as his eyes, and the world as his appearance. ”
Suddenly realizing that it was inappropriate for him to say so much, especially when he was talking about his lover in front of the blind date, Shang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly, took a sip of lemonade, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry." Mr. Yue's job is mass media, the owner of a media company? ”
Zhang Wanzhu seems to have introduced it like this before.
Yue Guang nodded and said, "Yes, a small brokerage company." I heard that Miss Shang is a kindergarten teacher, so she should like children very much. ”
"Hmm. It also has a headache when it's naughty. In fact, she wanted to fan them angrily, but her professional ethics told her that she had to be coaxed to choose what she chose.
"How many children do you want?"
Shang Xiaoyu didn't expect Yue Guangyi to come up and ask for so long, so he smiled and said, "I won't tell you, I also had the urge to get married when I saw Zhang Wanzhu get married before, but I didn't think about the child." ”
"I didn't expect you to hate to marry." The voice was loud and powerful, Shang Xiaoyu turned his head and saw a man coming in through the door, the sunlight behind him plunged him into darkness, making it difficult to see his face.
Gradually, with his powerful steps, he came out of the backlight, a face that had been painted thousands of times by Shang Xiaoyu.
