After returning to Fangzhou College, it was not long before the National Day, and Wu Dao returned to his home in Qicheng County.

Yang Chengzhi's daughter, Yang Zhaodi, will get married on October 6, and her husband is a cadre of the Qicheng County Finance Bureau and a college student. Yang Chengzhi was very satisfied with this marriage and bought an Audi A4 as Yang Zhaodi's dowry. The wedding reception was scheduled at one of the largest hotels in the county.

On the first day Wu Dao returned home, the Wu family was constantly discussing Yang Zhaodi's marriage. Yang Zhaodi is Wu Dao's cousin, three years younger than him, but now Yang Zhaodi is married in front of Wu Dao, which makes the three elders of the Wu family even more anxious about Wu Dao's marriage.

However, it was useless for them to be anxious, Wu Dao still used that set of lies to deal with them, saying that he had a good relationship with his girlfriend and met a few days ago.

On the day Yang Zhaodi got married, Wu He, Li Mei, and Wu Dao all went to the wedding banquet. Wu Yang didn't want to join in the excitement, and he didn't want to see Yang Chengzhi and his in-laws swinging out, so he didn't go on the grounds that he wanted to go to work.

After Yang Zaixing graduated, he stayed in Fangzhou Municipal Tutoring School. On the day Yang Zhaodi got married, he drove a Chevrolet Sail back to the wedding banquet.

Wu Dao didn't expect that Yang Zaixing had already bought a car just three months after graduation. Although the grade and price of the car are not high, and it is very likely that Yang Chengzhi paid most or even all of the money when buying the car, it is still a great stimulus to Wu Dao, because what relatives and friends see is that Wu Dao does not have a car, and Yang Zaixing has a car.

At this time, Yang Zaixing's status among relatives had completely surpassed Wu Dao.

After attending the wedding banquet, Yang Zaixing drove back to Fangzhou in the afternoon. Before leaving, Yang Zaixing asked Wu Dao if he wanted to take his car back. Although Wu Dao wanted to go back to Fangzhou in advance, he still politely declined.

On the morning of 7 October, Wu Dao returned to Fangzhou by bus. In the afternoon, Meng Yihong also returned to the dormitory. Two people buy groceries and cook together.

During the meal, Wu Dao told Meng Yihong about his cousin's marriage and his cousin's purchase of a car.

"Wu Dao, your cousins are married, you really should talk about a girlfriend. Why don't I introduce you to one? ”

"Sister Meng, I'd better think about it again, and I'll talk about it after a while." Wu Dao said.

"Considering when? You're twenty-nine years old, and it's time to talk about marriage. Your cousin's purchase of a car is actually very normal, young people nowadays buy cars, if you like cars, you can also buy them. ”

"I don't like to drive. When I walk, I often wander and think about all kinds of problems, and I am afraid that if I really drive a car, I will hit people. ”

"I also think that neither of us is suitable for driving. So, I haven't thought about buying a car until now, and I haven't studied for a driver's license. Everyone has their own life, there is no need to care too much about other people's opinions, and the most important thing is to be yourself. ”

"Sister Meng, you're right."

That night, Wu Dao logged in to QQ and saw that she had uploaded a photo of the child in He Hua's QQ space, which was a boy, chubby and very cute. He Hua has gained some weight, but her smile is still so pure, and her life is still so simple and happy.

Meng Yihong said that she wanted to introduce a girlfriend to Wu Dao, Wu Dao thought she was joking, but she didn't expect that a few days later she really took a photo to show him:

"Wu Dao, how about you look at this girl? Her surname is Lin, Lin Daiyu's Lin, single name Chang, Chang Chang. He is 26 years old this year, graduated from a key university, and now works in the Municipal Education Bureau. She has a great personality, and I think the two of you are a good fit. Let's make an appointment and meet up. ”

"Sister Meng, are you serious, or are you joking?" Wu Dao said.

"Of course it's true, I told you a few days ago that I want to introduce you to someone. I'm a man of words. Meng Yihong laughed.

"Where did you get this girl?"

"A relative of a friend. I've already seen this girl, she's a nice person, and she's totally worthy of you. I told the girl about your situation and she was also very satisfied. There is a phone number behind the photo, you take the initiative and ask someone to meet. ”

"But I'm really not in the mood to go on a blind date right now."

"I'm not in the mood, just go on a blind date. Maybe when you come back from a blind date, your mood will change. I've got all the photos, so let's go and meet them. ”

"Okay."

"That's right."

At the urging of Meng Yihong, Wu Dao called Lin Chang and made an appointment to meet at a café near Fangzhou College at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

It was fast to Saturday. Meng Yihong asked Wu Dao to put on a suit, and took him to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses, and then asked him to go to the appointment.

Wu Dao was reluctant, but he found that he seemed to be suffering from a disease called: unable to refuse Meng Yihong. When parting, Meng Yihong said to him again:

"When I met Lin Chang, I had to follow the thoughts of other girls and say that on the first date, I would leave a good impression on others, and I would get along well in the future. After drinking coffee, you go shopping again, invite Lin Chang to have a meal in the evening, and then you go to the cinema to watch a movie. Don't come back early, the later you come, the better. ”

Wu Dao looked at Meng Yihong, nodded, and walked towards the café. Wearing a suit and holding roses in his hand, Wu Dao felt that his current self was very funny. He remembered again that he and Si Baifang had known each other for four years, and he had never sent her flowers, but now he wanted to send flowers to a girl he had never met, and his heart was even more awkward.

Despite being uncomfortable, Wu Dao arrived at the door of the café five minutes early. When he arrived, he found that there was a girl standing there, who was the same Lin Chang as seen in the photo. He said to Lin Chang:

"You're Lin Chang, right?"

"I'm Lin Chang, are you Wu Dao?" Lin Chang said.

"It's me." Wu Dao gave the flowers to Lin Chang and said, "This is for you." ”

"Thank you."

Two people walked into the café. Wu Dao asked Lin Chang what flavor of coffee he wanted, and Lin Chang could say whatever taste. Wu Dao ordered himself a cup of espresso and Lin Chang a latte.

After sitting down, Wu Dao said to Lin Chang:

"Teacher Meng Yihong introduced me to meet you. Do you work for the Education Bureau? ”

"Yes." Lin Chang said.

"What do you do in the Education Bureau?"

"I work in finance in the Education Bureau. What about you, what subjects do you teach at Fangzhou College? ”

"I teach foreign literature in the Chinese department. Did you major in finance as an undergraduate? ”

"Yes."

"Do you like literature?"

"I'm okay, but I don't read much. What I was most afraid of was writing essays, and when I was in high school, I had a headache when I got to composition class. You must have read a lot of books and published a lot of articles, right? ”

"It's okay, I've read almost all the important famous books, and I've published a few articles, mainly academic papers."

"In addition to reading and writing articles, do you have any other hobbies?"

"I don't really have any special hobbies."

"Do you like watching movies?"

"Sometimes, look."

"I like Hollywood blockbusters the most, as well as mythological and fantasy films made in China, which are also good, I often go to watch such movies with my friends."

"I think those commercial films are the same, and they don't have any meaning. I prefer niche literary films. ”

"You might be biased against commercial films, right?"

"It can't be changed. It can also be said that my thinking is seriously behind the times. ”

"Do you like to travel?"

"Travel, I still like it. Where do you like to travel? ”

"I like big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. There are skyscrapers out there to buy things that we can't buy here. There are also Hong Kong, Macau, London, New York, Paris, etc., when I have money, I want to see it. ”

"I'm the opposite of you, I don't like the big cities. What I like is the nature away from the city. Even when I travel to a big city, I don't go to shopping streets, I only look at historical sites. ”

At this point, Wu Dao and Lin Chang both felt very embarrassed, and there seemed to be no need to continue chatting. Wu Dao paused for a while and said to Lin Chang:

"Lin Chang, the difference between us is too big, it's really not suitable. That's all for today. You have my mobile phone number, if there is something, you can look for me. If I can, I'll do my best to help you. Let's see you again. ”

Wu Dao and Lin Chang walked out of the café before and after. Lin Chang put the flowers sent by Wu Dao on the table in the café and didn't bring them out. After the waiter found out, he walked out with the flowers and said to Lin Chang:

"Beauty, I forgot to take your roses."

"No, I'll give it to you." Lin Chang said.

Wu Dao and Lin Chang said "goodbye" to each other at the door, and then separated. After returning to Fangzhou College, Meng Yihong was very surprised to see Wu Dao coming back so early, so he said to him:

"Wu Dao, didn't I ask you and Lin Chang to chat a little more in the café, and then eat and watch movies together in the evening, why did you come back so soon? Did Lin Chang not go to the café to meet you? ”

"Lin Chang went to the café, we met." Wu Dao said.

"No, from here to the café, it takes twenty minutes to walk back and forth, when you go to the flower shop, the road is farther, you come back in half an hour, you and Lin Chang have been chatting in the café for less than ten minutes?"

"Yes."

"What are you all talking about?"

"Talk about work, talk about hobbies."

"Are you unhappy with her, or is she unhappy with you?"

"Sister Meng, it's not a matter of dissatisfaction, but that we are really not suitable. We can hardly find a common denominator, there is really no common language, there is nothing to say. ”

"Then how do you and I have something to say?"

"Because we have a common language." Wu Dao felt that this sentence was a little inappropriate, and said, "When I met Lin Chang, I didn't have the feeling I had when I was with Si Baifang. I believe in the first feeling, the first time I saw Si Baifang, I felt that she was a girl worthy of my life. The first time I saw Sister Meng, I also felt that you were very kind and very close. After meeting Lin Chang, I felt that there was a long distance between me and her. ”

"Alas, you, you just can't let go of Si Baifang in your heart."

"Perhaps. Sister Meng, don't introduce me to a girlfriend in the future. You once said that everything in your life is fate, and you will only get married when you meet the right one, and if you don't, you will always live alone. If Si Baifang really marries someone else, I will wait for a suitable person to appear, but if I can't wait, it's good to live alone. ”

"Wu Dao, you are too persistent, I don't know what to say. Then wait until Si Baifang really gets married. ”
