Volume 1 Memories of the Past Chapter 1 The Background of a New Story
The years are sharp, and people sometimes have to face the cruel side of fate, which means that romance can only be an embellishment in life, and cannot become the theme of the whole life. Although reason must prevail over emotion, emotional problems always affect rational people, so that in the face of simple things, they have to make complex decisions one after another.
"What! Why didn't you say it earlier? You, you, you're a liar! A beautiful girl in a light blue floral dress suddenly rose from her seat and asked angrily at the young man in a gray suit across the table.
The short-haired man with black-rimmed glasses on the other side was also very anxious when he saw this scene, and was about to stand up to explain something, but saw the girl grab the goblet in her hand and splash the red wine in the cup on her head and face.
The man didn't have time to dodge, and the small cup of dry red quickly dripped down his cheeks, staining the suit and white shirt he had just bought.
Just when he was stunned, the waiter on the side hurriedly walked a few steps to the man's side, and wiped the man's shirt with the white towel on his arm. At this moment, the waiter's heart is also very broken, this bloody situation is like being in a bubble drama, which is really eye-opening. And now it's okay, the tablecloth and the floor have to be cleaned again.
The girl picked up the bag she had placed on the seat, muttered a few more words, roughly meaning that they were all together to deceive her, and then threw off her ponytail and walked quickly outside the hotel.
The man looked at the girl's distant back and couldn't help but sigh deeply, but he didn't choose to chase it out. He knew that it was useless to chase him out, he had a condition that she couldn't accept.
That's right, he deceived her, she only knew that she was divorced, but she didn't know that she had a young son.
Then the man glanced around, and many of the guests at the adjacent table were still looking curiously at his side, and he felt extremely embarrassed, disappointed, and ashamed at the moment. If there are acquaintances who also eat here, then this matter will soon spread, and his social contacts are still very large, and he still has to lose face.
He would never have thought that the plot in the movie would happen to him, and he should really buy a lottery ticket to try his luck.
The place where the man and the girl meet is a very large hotel, and the whole building is beautifully renovated by the owner. The Roman-style decoration, retro murals on the walls, and greenery everywhere create a different dining environment. The waiters also wore uniform dresses and moved gracefully from table to table.
This hotel is very high-end in this small seaside town, of course, the price here is also very expensive, the general public may not come to spend often, but it is always full on weekdays, if you want to eat here, you must make a reservation in advance in the morning or the night before, otherwise you will not find a place for dinner.
This man who has been noticed by everyone is our protagonist: Qi Xiaoming, who is two years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, is a civil servant in a local functional department, and he is also a middle-level cadre in charge of one party in his department, with a good family background, an active personality, good at making friends, and a very good relationship with colleagues.
is such a son-in-law who was originally smooth sailing and many girls were willing to marry, but in the end it was a big surprise: he divorced not long after marriage.
And speaking of the reason, it is even more surprising, everyone may think that Qi Xiaoming is cheating, after all, the three views of the two are difficult to identify: Xiaoming's wife works in a small enterprise that is often difficult to pay, and the family in the countryside is not rich, and even many places need Xiaoming to make up for it, and the kind-hearted Xiaoming family has already pasted a large sum of money for this prospective daughter-in-law before marriage, so this marriage is a big hidden danger in the eyes of many outsiders.
What's more, Qi Xiaoming also has an unreasonable mother-in-law who just wants to ask for it.
They said that Xiaoming may have been enchanted at the beginning, but in fact, soft-heartedness is the drawback of the Qi family's "inheritance", Qi Xiaoming just can't stand the enthusiasm of his ex-wife, as the saying goes: women chase men.
And if a person is good at disguise, it is a very judgmental thing, and people in love are dizzy, but reason cannot overcome emotion at the moment.
That's his own reason, just like this woman who made Qi Xiaoming marry against public opinion, but changed someone before and after marriage, she may hurt people just because she doesn't have the appetite for a few words, and even later develops to smash dishes and bowls, and beat people.
Why not give up? Just because they and their parents are in the system, it is very important for their family to save face, and for the sake of that ridiculous face, the whole family can only endure it all the time.
Qi Xiaoming used to often think: What did he do wrong? It's really dumb to eat coptis! It wasn't until his ex-wife drove a car that she scratched Xiaoming's mother and then walked away, this time Xiaoming was completely angry, and since then it has been cut in two.
It took him a long time to come out of the shadows. In fact, he has come to this point, and he is indeed forced to do it, he doesn't care too much about the comments behind everyone's back, but he doesn't know how to go in the future after he has given everything, whether he can still meet true love, confusion, grievances and emptiness haunt his heart from time to time.
In this very negative state, it is not easy to adjust the mentality, and there will be a bunch of people who are confused and wandering and even give up on themselves. Fortunately, being soft-hearted does not mean that his heart is fragile, Qi Xiaoming is a strong person, and in the end he did it, although he can't forget all kinds of injuries and humiliations in the past, but he can still look forward.
Now he wants to find a truly kind woman and start a new life, after all, there are still decades left in his life, and he must cheer up and let life be better again.
So he started a blind date trip, and then met this girl named Yu Xiaoya, and was ready to start a new relationship seriously.
Xiaoming likes this girl very much: Yu Xiaoya is good-looking, works in a bank, has a stable job, and her parents are also decent people when they retire, so she is a good person - of course this is not feudal thinking, there are still certain desirable elements in what the ancients said, and after the last marriage, he is no longer a person who has little emotional consideration. He must be cautious and cautious, he needs to comprehensively analyze all aspects of the conditions, he is not harsh on the conditions for choosing a mate, and he does not have much capital as a single father to be harsh on this matter, what he does is just to avoid the experience in his later life.
In fact, Yu Xiaoya also admires Qi Xiaoming very much, and she once had an unbearable past. It may be that she was unlucky and unfortunately met a scumbag. She was naïve, until she registered with this man and the marriage date was set, only to find out by chance that this man was fake except for the unmarried state, and she was extremely desperate and almost got depression from then on.
Fortunately, Xiaoya has also survived, and now that she meets a person with a story like Qi Xiaoming, she suddenly feels that everyone has been bumpy and bumpy along the way, and there is a feeling of sympathy and affection for each other, so there are a lot more common topics.
Qi Xiaoming felt that he was very lucky and satisfied to find such a girl.
This may be God's meaning, God will not treat kind people badly, but he also wants to thank the person who introduced him to be a matchmaker, it was his mother's friend Aunt Li who introduced Yu Xiaoya.
It's just that tonight's problem is also here: Aunt Li deliberately concealed Qi Xiaoming's child problem when she introduced it, although the child was raised by Qi Xiaoming's parents. But in such a realistic society, the party with children does not have much choice, and the party without children is also resistant to being a stepparent.
So in order to promote marriage, Aunt Li did not tell the girl about the child for the time being, and asked Qi Xiaoming not to say it now. She wanted to mean that after Xiaoya thoroughly understood Qi Xiaoming's character and had a feeling, she would slowly confess, maybe at that time, the two would love each other, and Yu Xiaoya would not care about this white lie.
Qi Xiaoming, who has always been honest and honest, was very opposed at first, but under the persuasion of Aunt Li, he quickly understood that he had no other better chance, and finally decided to take it personally.
But tonight, he needs to confess to Yu Xiaoya that he has a child. Because he really didn't want to hide this problem every time, he felt that his heart was gradually unable to bear it. Especially when Yu Xiaoya talks about having children in the future, he is very uncomfortable with a smile and longing, and then he will also think of his cute and poor son, who has been walking in officialdom for many years, but he doesn't like to hide and lie.
For tonight's date, he, who is not willing to trouble others on weekdays, actually used up his relationship and got a position by the window.
It's quiet in the middle of the crowded halls, and the sea is just across the road, and you can see the beach and the sea through the floor-to-ceiling windows, so it's a very pleasant and atmospheric location.
No matter how hard Qi Xiaoming prepares, the final result is still the same, the girl he likes is gone, and she fails.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that fate sometimes likes to play tricks on honest people, and the story between him and Yu Xiaoya is not completely over.
Qi Xiaoming stood up, looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, shook his head a little helplessly, and whispered, "Check out." ”
Then he followed the waiter to the front desk and began to check out.
The female cashier in professional clothes noticed the red wine stains on Qi Xiaoming's shirt, and her good professionalism made her put away her curiosity, and said with a smile on her face: "Hello, sir, a total of 983 yuan is consumed, and you will be charged 908, Alipay and WeChat, please scan here......"
Before the cashier's voice fell, he heard a "drop", Qi Xiaoming had already started to scan the code, and then quickly paid with WeChat on his mobile phone.
Qi Xiaoming didn't even take the receipts and coupons given by the female cashier, and pushed the door out directly, because he didn't want to stay here for a moment. It's a big shame tonight, although the customers of this store don't know him, but the psychological effect is still very strong.
