Chapter 23: A Pretty Girl Smoking a Cigarette
"Hey, son, where are you?"
I concluded that my mom was in a good mood right now, because when she was in a bad mood, she would just call me "bear child".
"I'm outside, I'm going back to the company just after running errands, what's the matter?"
"Don't go to the company, put aside everything at hand and go home. I made an appointment with your Aunt Li to meet that girl at seven o'clock in the evening. ”
I looked at the time, "Why are you in such a hurry, it's just three o'clock, I just go over after work." ”
"Hey, you bear child, I'll hurry up when I tell you to go home!"
My mom roared again, and I quickly surrendered, hung up the phone, and rushed home.
As soon as I entered the door, my mother urged me to hurry up to dinner, and I couldn't cry or laugh.
"What time is it, are you still eating at night?"
"I don't eat it, the girl is very sensible, and she said that she didn't know if she could make it when she met for the first time, and she didn't want us to break the bank to invite us to dinner. Tell me, where can you find such a good girl, you can't meet it with a lantern. ”
My mother pressed me to the dining table, and as soon as I was half-full, she took the dishes and chopsticks, and threw me into the bathroom to take a shower and shave, and she rummaged through the cabinets to find all my clothes, and beat me for more than two hours.
To be honest, I really don't want to meet that girl, I already have someone in my heart, Miao Qinghe's appearance fills my mind and heart all the time, my whole body is full of her, and I can't accommodate other people at all.
But I also know that I am not worthy of Miao Qinghe.
Miao Changshui's words have been said very clearly, and every time I think of him contemptuously throwing the bank card in front of me, my heart aches faintly.
I don't know if I should tell Miao Qinghe about it, in fact, I have a fluke in my heart, what if she is like those heroines in romance dramas, regardless of the opposition of her family, she will fall in love with me?
But seeing my mother's face smiling like a flower, I relented again.
When it comes to blind dates, I really don't want to make my mom sad anymore.
I secretly made up my mind to meet the girl tonight and make it clear to her, even if she hated me, even if it was to slap me in front of me a few big ear scrapers, I would admit it.
At half-past six, my mother finally nodded in satisfaction, and she put on her coat and stuffed a box of gifts into my hand.
"Let's go."
I looked at her with my mouth wide open, "You're going too?" ”
"Nonsense, if I don't go, you must have run away halfway, I don't know you bear child, don't you want to play tricks with me, I'll sit with your Aunt Li today, and I'm not done if I don't tie you two into the cave room."
I wanted to cry without tears, and all wishful thinking was shattered in an instant.
I suspect that my mother and I are in a bad way, and she has killed me so that I can't get up at all.
I reluctantly followed my mother into the coffee house, and Aunt Li, who was sitting by the window, waved to greet us.
"Sister, give birth, this way!"
I handed the gift box to Aunt Li, "Auntie, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
Aunt Li's face turned into a flower, "This kid, you are so polite, let me introduce you, this is my niece, my niece." Zimo, this is a child, I grew up watching him grow up, and he is a good person. ”
The girl next to Aunt Li stood up, she politely greeted my mother first, and then extended her hand to me.
"Li Zimo."
I gently pinched her fingertips, "The rest of my life." ”
We sat down and asked for coffee, and my mother and Aunt Li chatted enthusiastically, talking about some of the things we had when we were children, and they laughed happily, and the guests in the coffee house looked over in disgust.
I smiled helplessly, it seemed to be the only topic of the older generation to close the distance.
Li Zimo and I seem to belong to the kind of people who don't talk much, just smile and bow our heads and say nothing.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Li was a little embarrassed when she saw that the two of us had not spoken.
"Oh girl, you see that the two of us are patronizing, and these two children can't interject. Or...... Let's go out for a walk? ”
My mother walked out of the coffee house with Aunt Li, and I was relieved.
I looked at Li Zimo, thinking about how to end this blind date decently, and before I could speak, she took out a box of ladies cigarettes from her bag, took out one and put it in her mouth, and looked at me with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"You don't mind if I smoke a cigarette, do you?"
I smiled nonchalantly and pulled out the lighter I had with me and lit it for her.
Li Zimo was stunned for a moment and handed me the cigarette case.
I refused, "Thanks, I don't smoke." ”
Li Zimo pursed his lips and threw the cigarette case on the table.
"You can smoke if you want, you don't have to pretend to be a man."
I was a little helpless, I didn't speak, I couldn't explain to her, I had a lighter with me to light incense and candles.
Li Zimo lifted Erlang's legs and spit out smoke rings, judging the appearance of the well-behaved lady she just now.
I looked at her, in fact, speaking in conscience, Li Zimo is very beautiful, no worse than Miao Qinghe, and it is more than enough to match me.
She looks like she is about twenty-four or five years old, and she is dressed quite maturely, in the current Internet buzzword, she is the royal sister, the queen fan.
She is quite thin, with semi-long hair, air bangs, a pointed chin, a small nose tip slightly upturned, and a small mouth, but her lips are plump and ruddy, which is much better than the Internet celebrities who are now bouncing on various platforms.
She turned her face sideways to me, and I glanced at it and frowned.
There is a small black mole on the inner corner of her right eye, this location is called the conjugal palace, and the mole is not a good face.
And Li Zimo is still a little strange, at this time, the air conditioner is on in the coffee room, and the temperature is not low, but she wraps her coat tightly, looking very afraid of the cold.
Li Zimo snuffed out the cigarette butt and pouted at me.
"Have you seen enough? I can't get used to it, I can say directly, I invite you to drink coffee, everyone is good to get together and disperse, I don't want to delay too much time. ”
I choked her up and couldn't speak, it turned out that she, like me, was forced to come on a blind date.
I worded it to try to be as tactful as possible.
"It seems that we all have the same purpose, then this matter will be easy to do, I will explain to the old people on both sides, just say that my conditions are not good, and you are not satisfied with me. Do you think that's okay? ”
Li Zimo's attitude towards me was a little surprised, and she hesitated.
"Can you ...... Do me a favor? ”
