Chapter 5: The First Date
Gege kept his head down all the way and tried not to make any eye contact with passers-by, but he could still hear some heckling and whistling from time to time. Lin walked as if no one was around, and suddenly found that they had walked to the parking lot.
Gege was a little surprised, Lin Yi suddenly turned his head and said, "I went to get a driver's license in the summer of my junior year of high school, although my driving experience is not long, but my skills are not bad, you can rest assured." β
Gege is full of black lines, speaking of driver's license, before her father also said to let her go to school, she felt that it was far away from the car, and her parents did not plan to buy her a car for college, so she gave up. Look at the people, they really haven't been idle for a summer vacation, and they all started driving.
Lin Yi drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sure enough, the car was the same as his people, low-key but atmospheric. Gege thought for a moment and prepared to sit in the back row.
"I'm not a taxi driver, why are you sitting in the back?" With that, Lin Yi opened the co-pilot's door. Gege had no choice but to sit up silently.
"It's a little hot in the car, I'll start the air-conditioning for a while and we'll go. I'll leave the window open first, and if you feel bored, just tell me. β
After speaking, Lin Yi came over to Gege's side. Gege was so frightened that he instinctively stepped back, isn't it all like this in TV series? The male protagonist actually wants to help the female protagonist fasten his seat belt, but the female protagonist himself misunderstood, and then he was very embarrassed. Gege pretended to be calm, "I'm wearing my own seatbelt, I don't need your help." β
"Who said I'm going to help you fasten your seatbelt? I just want to kiss you. After saying that, Lin Yi really kissed Gege on the cheek, and then sat back with a triumphant smile.
Gege felt that he must have done it on purpose, and it was inconvenient for him to have a seizure, so he blushed and continued to play with his fingers with his head down. The car gradually cooled down, and Lin Yi started the car on the road. Lin Yi took out a bottle of mineral water from the middle and handed it to Gege. Gege opened the water bottle and suddenly wondered a little, where was he going to eat on his first date? After holding back for a while, I finally couldn't help but ask Lin Yi.
Lin kept looking ahead and said very calmly, "Go to my house." β
Gege really almost squirted out the water she had drunk, but she tried her best to control herself, and as a result, she choked on a mouthful of water and coughed loudly. Lin Yi asked with concern while driving, "It's okay, do you need me to stop and help you pat it?" β
Gege coughed while intermittently saying that he didn't need it, and after finally calming down, he couldn't help but ask, "I now believe that you are in love for the first time, where is anyone who meets their parents on the first day of dating?" β
"But haven't I already met with my parents this morning?"
"Sister Qing, that doesn't count, it's just an accident, and I didn't arrange it intentionally. You're doing this on purpose! Be mindful! β
"Okay, even if it's deliberate, deliberate, I've already told them, I'm going to take my girlfriend home, and they've already prepared a table of dishes, I said before that you had a headache and a little uncomfortable, so they didn't eat and waited for you to go back, and now you want me to call to cancel then I can also call."
For the first time, Gege found out that Lin Yi was actually a super scoundrel. What about the iceberg? What about the coldness of the good one? Now this one in front of me is a super naΓ―ve rascal! The elders have been waiting for more than two hours, no matter how rude Gege is, he can't cancel this meal at this time, otherwise what kind of impression will this leave on others?
Gege cried with a sad face, "Then you can tell me about it." β
"Say what? You don't know how to dress up. β
"Even if I don't know how to dress up, I can't go to your house empty-handed. This is the first time I've seen the future ......" Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Gege wanted to bite his tongue.
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, your future in-laws are very good, and they are especially looking forward to seeing you." β
"Why?"
"Because they've always been suspicious of my sexuality. They don't believe me no matter how I explain it, and I think they'll probably have to shut up if I bring you back. β
Okay, so I'm just the tool guy who was brought back to prove his sexuality. Gege snorted, not wanting to pay attention to the big bastard next to him anymore.
The car drove for a while and finally drove to Lin Yi's house, it seemed that there were rumors in the class about his family when he was in high school, and sure enough. To have such a magnificent suburban detached house in City B is not an ordinary person.
Gege still took a deep breath before walking in the door, and the one who opened the door was a very kind aunt, but she didn't look much like Lin Yi.
"This is our aunt, you can call Aunt Liu with me."
"Aunt Liu is good."
"Hey, Gege is here. Madam, Mu Mu brought his girlfriend back. β
This is a huge amount of information, why does even the aunt at home know my name? Mumu? Is this calling Lin Yi? It's a cute nickname, isn't it?
In the shoe rack at the door, Aunt Liu took out a new pair of very cute Hello Kitty slippers and handed them to Gege, followed Aunt Liu around two or three rooms, and finally came to the restaurant. Gege leaned close to Lin Yi's side, not knowing how to face Lin Yi's family.
When the door opened, a graceful and elegant woman came out, and when she saw Gege, her eyes were shining, and she took Gege's hand with great enthusiasm, and kept muttering, "What a girl!" What a girl! That's great! That's great! β
Lin Yi held his forehead a little helplessly, and then helped Gege get rid of his mother, "Okay, Mom, don't scare people." I'm not responsible for scaring me away. β
Lin Yi's mother quickly returned to normal and said, "Okay, okay, isn't Mom happy for your Lin family?" That's what you mentioned, right? Sit down, sit down, it's all at this point, are you hungry? Today, you're cooking all the dishes you like to eat. Aunt Liu, some dishes may be a little cold, let's see if you want to go back to the pot. By the way, let Lao Lin hurry down and tell him that his son and daughter-in-law had returned. β
Gege looked at Lin Yi, "Gege mentioned"? When was it mentioned? How did you mention it? "Favorite dish"? Why would Lin Yi's mother know what I like to eat? Gege already has too many questions today, and he doesn't know where to start.
Lin Yi glanced at Gege back, "I told them in advance that I would bring you back for dinner, and I also explained your favorite dishes, Aunt Liu's craftsmanship is good, it should suit your appetite." I guess you must have a lot of problems now, and I'll tell you slowly in the future, you eat first, otherwise it's not good to be hungry and thinner. β
After a while, an uncle with a serious expression walked out. It's a weekend, but it's also a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and it looks like I'm going to go out to work after eating for a while.
Lin Yi's mother hurriedly introduced, "Lao Lin, this is Gege, Mu Mu's girlfriend." Gege, this is his father, you can call Uncle Lin. As for me, you can call me aunt or call me Melissa, I heard Mu Mu say that you are studying English for journalism, I used to learn English, although I haven't used it for many years, but I still often travel to the United States to study in these years, this family is good at English for you and me, if you want to have any little secrets you can tell me in English. β
Although Uncle Lin is serious, his eyes are still very gentle, especially when he sees Gege for the first time, there seems to be a subtle smile in the corner of his eyes.
Gege thought of the family who Lin Yi said in the car who doubted his sexual orientation, and suddenly felt that the current situation was a bit funny. Looking at Lin Yi again, his face was still expressionless, but he had some interaction with his mother's eyes, and Gege couldn't read it clearly for a while.
The meal was quite pleasant, although Uncle Lin didn't talk much, but fortunately, Melissa was very active, and it was indeed as Lin Yi said, a table full of Gege's favorite dishes. So Gege almost stopped his chopsticks until he had a full burp.
Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost eaten, Gege began to wonder if he should take the initiative to help clean up the dishes or something, and just as he didn't know how to speak, Melissa directly pushed Gege and Lin Yi away, "Mumu, what are you still doing here?" Take Gege to your room and sit down. β
Lin Yi sighed, naturally took Gege's hand, and didn't know that after going around a few rooms, he finally walked to Lin Yi's bedroom. Gege was a little nervous, there were so many things that happened this day that she couldn't digest them at all, now she was going to enter Lin Yi's bedroom. Is this something that only intimate couples do? And with both his parents at home?
Lin Yi pushed open the door, "Come in and sit, you should have a lot of questions to ask me." β
Gege cautiously took a step and walked in, Lin Yi's room was almost the same as he imagined, simple, almost no other tones except black, white and gray. Gege has a younger brother named Mo Yan, and the room is so messy that he can't put his feet. Obviously, his younger brother and Lin Yi are two completely different boys. Frankly speaking, I feel that Mo Yan is more like a big boy in the general sense, and Lin Yi's room is a little too restrained. If Mo Yan's room is so messy that he can't put his feet, then Lin Yi's room is too neat and tidy and he doesn't dare to put his feet, for fear of getting dirty and messing up.
"Come and sit." Lin patted the side of the bed, he had already sat down naturally, supporting his hands behind his back very comfortably, shrugging his shoulders with a look of "let the horse come".
Gege quickly moved and sat down beside him. It's not because of anything else, but I really don't want to sit in any position where I need to face him, so it's better to sit side by side like this, at least without looking at each other. Although it's already like that, the progress is too fast for Gege to adapt to for a while.
"Just ask, you should have a mind full of question marks." Lin Yi yawned, feeling a little tired.
"Well, you're right. First of all, how do you know what I like to eat? β
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Is this what you want to know most?" β
"Of course there are many, but this one is the closest, didn't you say you want to answer me one by one?"
"Well, of course I know what kind of food you like to eat, we are at least three years in high school, and you bring your own lunch box almost every day, it's not difficult to find out if you pay a little attention."
But why are you paying attention to me? Gege didn't dare to ask this question, for fear of asking an answer that she couldn't afford.
"Then why does your whole family seem to know about me?"
"Because I told them about you."
"Said me? How so? When was it said? β
"Not long ago, didn't I tell you on the way here, my parents also suspected that I had a strange orientation like you, so after high school ended, they began to force me to have a girlfriend. Then I told them that I already had a girl I liked, whose name was Lin Gezhi, and her nickname was Gege, which was you. This morning, when I went back to the dormitory, I called home, and I said that I had confirmed the relationship with you, and I would take you home for dinner, and that was it. The slippers you wear on your feet were bought for you when I went to Japan during the summer vacation. Don't you really like hello kitty? β
It's really a pot that can't be opened, and the question that Gege didn't dare to ask just now was afraid to ask such an answer. Now she blushed like her favorite tomato and egg. But it's not surprising, after all, what happened to the two of them today, this answer is reasonable. It's really not surprising that a student like Lin Yi would pay so much attention to details, but he even thought of slippers and the shoe size was just right, which still made Gege gasp, what kind of person did he have a crush on?!?!
Gege was trying to digest this information, Lin Yi suddenly leaned sideways and lowered his head, "I asked you instead, you said that you have had a crush on me for almost three years, so when did you start?" β
"Halfway through the first semester of high school."
"Then I may be earlier than you."
What the? This information is a bit indigestion again. Does this mean that his male god has already been tempted earlier than himself?
"No way, then I don't know at all."
Lin Yi rubbed his temples, "Of course it's because you're sluggish." Or else? I've given you many hints, miss, but you can't get it. Later, I thought about it, anyway, there are all kinds of restrictions on falling in love in high school, and we will all stay here to go to college, so let's just wait for college to tell you. Actually, even if you don't report Q big, it doesn't matter, but I'm still glad that you reported Q big because of me. I saw that you were a little tired in the past few days of military training, so I thought about waiting for the end of military training, that is, these few days, but I received a letter from someone early this morning, saying that there was a very powerful girlfriend who was going to find Xiao Xianrou for friendship. By the way, did you really make an appointment? β
Gege was stunned, as if he had really done something of betrayal, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry." I really made an appointment, Shujing has already arranged it, and I will call her to cancel it later. β
Lin Yi rubbed Gege's hair indulgently, "No need to apologize, it's not that I don't know that you are dull," sighed and continued, "But you are really fast, doesn't it mean that it takes a while for a little girl to recover if she falls out of love?" You're too fast, aren't you? But that's your style. After Lin Yi finished saying this, he suddenly turned around and suddenly retracted the smile on his face, and looked directly into Gege's eyes very seriously, "Only this once, don't take it as an example, promise me, okay?" No matter what happens in the future, for example, if we have a fight, you can't go to any social gatherings. β
Gege suddenly burst out laughing. I've always felt that something is not right, but I just can't say it clearly. This time Gege suddenly brightened up, isn't it that Lin Yi who saw all day today completely subverted the image of the ice cube face of Wannian Poker?
Gege suddenly felt a little relaxed and smiled playfully, "Okay, I'm not participating." May I ask why you are so different from what you used to be? β
Lin Yi said very seriously, "I don't like to show myself in front of others, and I really don't like to be interested in many things. Even my mom said that I was sometimes bored and didn't say anything very expressively. I do have something to improve on. Do you have any other questions besides this? β
"Actually, there are a lot of questions, but I'm a little messy for a while, I'll sort out a list and send it to you later, can you answer them one by one?"
Lin Yi rubbed Gege's hair again, "Of course it's good." Anyway, your hair really feels like Pepper's. β
Gege winced vigilantly, "Who's Pepper?" β
"Wait a minute." Lin got up, went to the hallway and yelled at Pepper, and then came running after a while...... A corgi ......
Lin Yi picked up the dog, "Pepper is my mother's baby." If you touch it, does his hair feel like your hair? β
Gege really wanted to turn over the table at this time, and actually said that her hair was like dog hair!!!!
"Is that Mumu your nickname?"
Lin Yi was a little helpless, "That's my nickname, isn't my surname Lin?" I've told my mom not to call me that, but she just won't listen. Except for a few friends who have a particularly good relationship, no one knows. After speaking, he gave a "you know, don't say it" look.
Although Gege got this look, he still said mischievously, "Okay, Mumu, I won't tell anyone." β
After saying that, he regretted it a little, and instead of being angry when Lin heard the ridiculous "Mu Mu", he leaned closer and said in Gege's ear in a particularly deep voice, "If you like it, you can always call me that." β
Gege felt that his ears must be red, so he quickly withdrew to the side, "I still don't want to, I'm afraid it will affect your image." β
Lin Yi didn't speak again, just looked at Gege with a smile.
Gege was a little uncomfortable, so he had to clench the mineral water bottle in his hand tightly and whispered, "So, what is our relationship now?" β
Lin Yi took the water bottle from her hand, unscrewed the cap, handed it over again, and motioned for her to drink water, "Didn't you say it at school?" Of course we're dating. β
Receiving an affirmative answer again, Gege couldn't help but bite his lower lip lightly, and couldn't stop smiling on his face. It's too dramatic, but it's for the better.
After sitting for a while, Lin said, "Let's go out on a date." β
Gege was a little sluggish, she thought it was good for the two of them to just sit and talk.
As a result, Lin Banban jokingly said, "With the two of us in such a small confined space, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself." β
Of course, Gege understood what he meant, and the joke was true, she quickly jumped up, pulled Lin Yi and was about to run out. Lin Yi didn't resist and let her go out like this.
After walking a few steps, Gege stopped, "Your house is too big, I can't find the door." β
