Mike
"Babe, you sit. Shao Baige happily beckoned Bei Bei to sit down, he took off his coat and handed it to a beautiful man next to him. The man was a half-breed, and he had a charming smile, he put his coat on a chair casually, his muscles were strong under the suit, he had oriental blood, his facial features were smooth and clean, he was very good-looking, his brown hair made him unusually white, he seemed to be a white man, and his eyes were dark with an imperceptible blue.
"You haven't officially met him yet, so I'll introduce you. Shao Baige was obviously very happy, he rarely smiled so well, and pulled the mixed-race man to push him in front of Beibei. "Mike. He said, looking at the man again with such excitement, as if to confirm something: "Babe, he's Mike." ”
"Oh!" Bei Bei politely expressed surprise, and then said in Chinese, "Hello." ”
Mike also stretched out his right hand, he shook hands very hard, stared at Babe, leaned forward, and bent down slightly. Bei Bei didn't understand this kind of foreign etiquette, she just subconsciously cooperated, but this did not affect Mike's play, he still handed it forward politely, and then he stood up straight and said a long English sentence to Shao Baige, and the two of them laughed.
——
"Mike said I made you ugly," he gestured with a seemingly exaggerated gesture. So, he was taken aback. Before and after, Shao Baige kept laughing, but it didn't seem to be laughing. Mike liked the joke as much as he did, and the two of them felt the same way about the steak, they ordered the same steak and then recommended Babe to eat it as well.
Bei Bei poured three glasses of water, and she already felt better: "I used to be ugly, but now I am a little better." ”
Shao Baige muttered something, and Bei Bei could only understand that Mike had been saying no, no, no. Then Shao Baige said: "But he resolutely does not believe it." ”
Bei Bei smiled and looked out the window, this restaurant was on top of a high-rise building, and outside the window was the whole city, this dilapidated, once prosperous industrial city, was going to be lonely after all, after the end of industrialization, the street scene in such a city always made people gloomy, like an abandoned widow old man.
"People always want to understand the world, but they don't understand themselves yet. ”
——
"Beibei, no one cares if they get married or not abroad. ”
The taste of the veal steak is very tender, but Bei Bei doesn't seem to eat very well, the two men feel good, this piece of beef costs almost the price of a beef leg, and it is cooked with something similar to a welding torch, this kind of excessively authentic taste, Bei Bei can't taste the beauty, so she eats very little, and only speaks.
"Well, I know, so I will learn from you. ”
"What are you studying, aren't you getting married?" asked Shao Baige.
"No, learn from you, don't care what other people think. Bei Bei put down the knife and fork and covered her mouth with her hand, she couldn't eat how tender the beef was, she only felt the taste of some blood, and she needed to chew it constantly.
"Learn from me, but I'm learning from you. Shao Baige said and poked his head over and kissed the man named Mike. He could barely take his eyes off the man's face, and he stared at him, at his surprised and shy expression after being kissed, and then smiled very provocatively.
"You know what I am today, and you're the one who makes me who I am today, and us. ”
"Do you want a divorce?" In Beibei's eyes, both of them are friends, and of course Sun Ning is also a friend.
"Of course, but not now. ”
Mike ate the steak with relish, he seemed to be reminiscing about the kiss just now, but he seemed to understand the words of the * person, he nodded, nodded to Shao Baige, he looked very elegant, the same clear temperament as Shao Baige, but he was more charming, he did not have the blandness and gentleness of the Oriental, that is the profound charm that only Westerners have, from the eyes, from the slightly hooked corners of the lips.
"Does he know?" Babe smiled and nodded at Mike, receiving a warmer and more polite response. He raised his glass, and Bei Bei hurriedly raised his glass, and both of them just took a sip.
"He knows that I don't want to hide anything from him, he is my relative. ”
Shao Baige was so firm, which made Bei Bei look embarrassed, she nodded lightly, and she was at a loss, so she could only smile: "It's good that he knows." ”
"Don't you want to know if Sun Ning knows?" Shao Baige asked suddenly.
"I don't want to. Bei Bei looked down and found a piece of meat without tendons on the plate and put it in her mouth.
"Why?" asked Shao Baige curiously.
"Women always have to passively accept, accept and maybe never know what the right decision is. ”
"Beibei, you are the woman I have ever seen...... he suddenly paused, as if he could not find the right words to describe it, he gestured with a fork for a long time: "The most powerful, perhaps! But that's not all I meant." ”
"Do you need me to compliment you like that?" Babe smiled, she liked orange lipstick to make her look more like herself.
——
"Sogo, I saw Beibei. Peng Cheng sat panting on the curb stone, he took off his shoes and put them aside.
"Are you sure you saw her, so you didn't talk to her?" Suo Ge asked a sentence that was not salty or light, he knew that Peng Cheng had been looking for Bei Bei for a long time, but since there was no result, what was the use of seeing it?
"I'm sure, I saw her get into Shao Baige's car, brother. Peng Cheng didn't understand why he called Brother Suo to say this, what did this have to do with others?
"Then you call Shao Baige!"
"That kid can't take care of me. Peng Cheng was a little angry.
"And where is she staying, and is she going home?"
"I'll just say she'll go home!"
——
Babe walked through the grove and stepped under her leafy feet. She sighed a little, the money that Peng Cheng owed when he left, she had to be almost there, although Shao Baige was reluctant to ask for it, but she still insisted on giving it to him, anyway, she didn't know what to do now.
Maybe it's time to change something, Shao Baige and Mike are together again. The blank space in life is basically to make people see themselves more clearly, to see the world clearly, and she feels that she has never been transparent.
The important thing is not that anyone or anything has changed, the important thing is that she herself is changing. The mother's hope is that her daughter will have a home, but she is no longer overly flustered, which seems very good.
Bei Bei lowered her head, the leaves under her feet were soft and muddy, and it only took a heavy rain for it to really melt into the soil. She's a little sad, as if she's no longer a girl who reads comics, but she feels better now.
"Babe. ”
Suddenly, Peng Cheng flashed out from behind the tree, he grabbed Beibei's bag, and the girl tightened the handbag in shock.
"You scared me. Babe hiccuped, and then couldn't stop.
"I was shocked when I saw you on the road, I thought you weren't in the city. ”
"I'm still here, I don't have what it takes to get out of here. Bei Bei picked up her bag again with relief and looked at him reluctantly.
"Give me some time, daughter-in-law, I want to talk to you?"
