Chapter 3: Reunion

After Shen Yin took a shower, she saw a new text message prompt on her phone. She opened her phone and saw that it was Xue Yufan who sent a message, "Are you home?" "The time above says '14:50 pm'.

She simply replied with an 'um'.

Her grandmother had returned, and she told her that a boy had come to her at noon today, claiming to be her classmate, and that the boy had been waiting for her outside for a long time, and finally he couldn't wait for her, so he left.

"That young man looks pretty good, but his bones look too thin, so I asked him to wait in the house, and we talked for a while." She helped her grandmother into the house, and she continued: "That young man is a baby who can endure hardships, and he can see that his character is good. Yin'er, are you two dealing with each other? ”

"No, we're just classmates, and we were supposed to visit that friend together, but my friend urged me to go first. He's here to wait for me. ”

She didn't tell her grandmother that she was going to a class reunion, but she lied that she was visiting a friend.

"Oh, make me rejoice." Grandma was a little disappointed and said, "You and Yue'er are our sweethearts, your grandma and I hope that you two can marry a good family, especially you, you can't be sloppy in finding a partner, this kind of thing, your grandma and I have to take a good check, so as not to find a ...... like your father"

Shen Yin interrupted grandma, took her hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry, when I find a boyfriend, I will definitely bring him to see you as soon as possible, so that you can be a good counselor." ”

"Good! My good granddaughter. Grandma suddenly remembered something and said, "Yin'er, did you quit your job?" Why don't you go to work these days? ”

Shen Yin remembered that she hadn't told her grandmother about her job transfer. She explained this matter to her grandmother in detail, "Yin'er, it's grandma who is useless and delays your work." You have to pay for your children's school and take care of the whole family. Grandma said apologetically, "I can take care of myself now, you can go to work hard." ”

When Shen Yin heard his grandmother say this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and comforted him: "No, in fact, the work in the province and the county are the same, and the salary is about the same, so you don't have to worry about me." On the contrary, you have to take care of yourself at home alone, eat well and sleep well every day. ”

Grandma smiled and looked at her.

The next day, as soon as Shen Yin went out, Su Yuqian called. It turned out that Xue Ting didn't go home last night, and her parents told her that they were going to take her on a blind date today, and they didn't want her to be in a bad mood today, so they quarreled with her parents, locked herself in the room, and didn't come out at noon. Xue Ting's mother was very worried, so she called Su Yuqian, hoping that they could persuade Xue Ting.

Shen Yin and Su Yuqian came to Xue Ting's house, and when her mother saw them, she immediately walked up to them worriedly and said, "Tingting, she has been locking the door, and she won't open the door after we shouted for a long time." We are afraid that something will happen to her, so we will let you help me persuade her. ”

Su Yuqian comforted: "Auntie, don't worry! ”

Shen Yin came to Xue Ting's room and knocked on the door and called her name.

After a while, Xue Ting opened the door, pulled the two of them in, and locked the door again.

Shen Yin saw her red eyes and asked, "Why did you quarrel with your aunt again?" ”

Su Yuqian whispered: "Xue Ting, she fell out of love. ”

It turned out that Xue Ting's drunkenness yesterday was deliberate. Xue Ting pulled them to sit down apologetically, and said sadly, "I'm sorry, please come here." ”

Shen Yin asked curiously, "You are out of love, why haven't I heard you talk about it?" ”

"I wanted to wait for me to confess before telling you, but I just confessed and fell out of love." Xue Ting barely held back her tears, sobbed and said, "I have liked Jiang Qi in the third class since I was in junior high school, and I was young at that time and I didn't dare to confess. But I added his QQ, so after graduating from junior high school, we have been in touch all the time. Yesterday, I took advantage of the wine to tell him what I had buried in my heart for many years, but I didn't expect him to say that in his heart, I have always been his friend, that is, the relationship of 'friendship is above, lovers are not full', and he was afraid of losing me as a friend, so he said that we could not become lovers. ”

Su Yuqian said on the side: "I didn't expect that for so many years, you have always hidden this feeling, and even the three of us have such a good relationship with friends." ”

"You want to open a little, it's because he doesn't know how to cherish it, and you will meet someone better than him in the future." In fact, Shen Yin didn't have any impression of Jiang Qi at all.

"Well, someone as good as you will definitely meet a better one." Su Yuqian also echoed on the side.

"Look at the two of you singing and harmonizing, can I not meet a better one?" Xue Ting laughed.

At this time, Xue Ting's mother knocked on the door.

Shen Yin opened the door, and her mother stood at the door with the food, "Tingting, you didn't eat in the morning, now I'll bring the food, you eat quickly." ”

Her mother put the food on the table and said with a smile, "Have you two eaten?" I've boiled some porridge, you can taste it. ”

Shen Yin and Su Yuqian shook their heads again and again, and said, "I've eaten, Auntie, go eat it!" ”

Seeing that Xue Ting was reconciled with her mother, Shen Yin and Su Yuqian were ready to say goodbye to them.

Xue Ting's mother hurriedly pulled the two of them and said, "Why don't you accompany Tingting on a blind date in the afternoon?" This man's family background is very good, you can go and see it together. ”

"Mom, the two of them just came to our house, and the stool hasn't been heated yet?" Xue Ting just ate a few bites of porridge.

"It's because you haven't seen each other for a few years, so it's not bad for a few of us to go to the mall together today and catch up with the old days." Xue Ting's mother gestured at them.

"Tingting, I think Auntie's proposal is very good, it just so happens that a new shopping mall has opened in the county, and the clothes in it are very good." Su Yuqian said.

Xue Ting didn't want to say anything more, so she agreed.

When the group came to the county seat, Xue Ting's mother led them to a café, "Tingting, the young man I introduced to you is inside, you have already seen the photos, do you remember what he looks like?" Qianqian, you go in with her. After speaking, Xue Ting's mother took out 200 yuan from her wallet and handed it to Su Yuqian, "You can order something you like to eat in the store, and I won't go in." ”

"Auntie, no need, you are so polite!" Su Yuqian directly refused.

Xue Ting took the money and pulled them into the coffee shop.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only a handful of people in the coffee shop, and in a quiet corner, a man with glasses was sitting.

Xue Ting pointed to the man, looked at the photos on her phone, checked them, and pulled them to the seat.

The man saw the three of them walking over and saw Xue Ting, "Hello, I'm Zhao Ming." ”

Xue Ting didn't answer, so she sat down.

Zhao Ming was wearing a black coat with a burgundy gray sweater underneath, his hair was parted in the middle, and he wore square black-framed eyes, giving people a neat and elegant feeling. I heard Xue Ting's mother say that he is twenty-nine years old this year, works in the county, and graduated from university. His parents were teachers and both taught at a middle school in the county.

Shen Yin smiled and said, "Hello, we are friends with Xue Ting. I just happened to meet today, so I came over, you won't mind, right? Shen Yin pulled Su Yuqian's arm and motioned to her: Let's sit elsewhere.

Zhao Ming smiled slightly: "No!" ”

Su Yuqian immediately understood: "Tingting, you talk slowly, let's go shopping for a while first, and call you later." ”

Xue Ting nodded and took a sip of juice.

As soon as Shen Yin and Su Yuqian walked to the front desk, she accidentally saw her high school classmate, Hu Xiangxiang. Hu Xiangxiang was dressed very fashionably, she wore heavy makeup and held an LV handbag.

"Shen Yin, since we're here, let's order something here!" Su Yuqian looked at the menu at the front desk and said, "Do you like strawberry flavor, there are strawberry smoothies here." ”

Su Yuqian had already found a seat and sat down, and she pointed to the opposite seat and shouted Shen Yin's name.

Hu Xiangxiang turned her head and met Shen Yin's gaze. She walked over and said with a smile: "Shen Yin, long time no see, do you remember me?" She sat next to Shen Yin.

"You are Hu Xiangxiang, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting more and more beautiful." Shen Yin said politely.

"Hehe, so are you! We haven't seen each other since graduating from high school, and I heard that you were admitted to college. Hu Xiangxiang put her handbag on her lap.

Shen Yin introduced to her: "This is my friend, Su Yuqian. Hu Xiangxiang smiled at Su Yuqian.

"This is the coffee shop I opened, I have a treat today, you are welcome." Hu Xiangxiang pointed to the decorative painting on the wall and said, "What do you think of the decoration of this store?" ”

"It's beautiful and it feels very comfortable." Su Yuqian exclaimed.

"This is my design, and after graduating from high school, I didn't go to college, so I went to study design." Hu Xiangxiang said proudly.

"You're pretty good, it seems that this store is doing well!" Shen Yin drank a glass of water and said.

At this time, the waiter came to the table, and Shen Yin handed her the written menu.

"By the way, Shen Yin, I'll add your WeChat, and I'll keep in touch in the future." Hu Xiangxiang took out the latest iPhone.

"Your manicure is beautiful, where did you do it?" Su Yuqian asked when she saw Hu Xiangxiang's beautiful fingernails.

"I did it myself. If I have time someday, can I design one for you? Hu Xiangxiang stretched out her hand and showed her beautiful fingernails in front of them. Shen Yin, I'll design one for you when the time comes. ”

"Well, I thank you in advance! Then I'll also add your WeChat. Su Yuqian had already picked up the mobile phone at hand.

After they added each other on WeChat, the drinks they ordered had already been served. Su Yuqian ordered a French vanilla latte, a cashew nut and a plum, and Shen Yin only ordered a strawberry smoothie.

"Shen Yin, I didn't expect you to still like strawberry flavor." Hu Xiangxiang said with a smile, "You still remember when you were in high school, every morning in class, I would smell a strawberry smell, it turned out to be a strawberry-flavored cream that you rubbed every morning, but after one day, you never used it again." ”

Shen Yin remembers that she was very fond of strawberry-scented things at that time, and her toiletries were all strawberry colors and strawberry patterns, including the quilt and sheets on the bed. When she was in junior high school, she rubbed strawberry-scented cream every morning, and once, her table mate was a boy who liked to hang a keychain around her waist and make a metal crashing sound whenever she walked. During the morning reading, the boy said in a very loud voice: "Who used strawberry-flavored things every morning, why does this smell so bad!" With that, he also sniffed around everyone nearby. Since then, Shen Yin has known that there are still people in the world who don't like this taste, and she hasn't used anything strawberry flavor in school.

"Because the color of strawberries is the color of happiness. Everyone has at least one taste in love, and I just happen to like that very ordinary person. Shen Yin took a sip of strawberry smoothie and said, "This tastes good!" I like it. ”

Hu Xiangxiang ordered a glass of lemon juice, she just took a sip, and joked with a smile: "The chef in the store doesn't have a girlfriend yet, do you want to think about it?" Maybe you'll try more strawberry-flavored snacks in the future? ”

Shen Yin smiled: "How could I have that kind of good luck? Just think about it. ”

"Why don't I call him out and see you?" With that, Hu Xiangxiang asked a waiter to call the chef.

"No, it's just a joke." Shen Yin hurriedly wanted to stop it.

However, the chef of the coffee shop has already come, he is about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a white apron, his face is slightly round, and he looks warm and masculine. He came to Hu Xiangxiang and smiled slightly, "Xiangxiang, what are you looking for me?" ”

Hu Xiangxiang pointed at Shen Yin and said, "This is my high school classmate, Shen Yin, who likes the strawberry smoothie you make very much." ”

"Hello, Shen Yin! My name is Dahai, and the people in the store call me 'Fat Dahai', and of course you can call me that. ”

Shen Yin's mind came up with a black tea that could lose weight. She smiled slightly, "I like strawberry-flavored drinks and cakes, you make them delicious, where did you learn your craft?" ”

"I went to cooking school before, but I taught myself all these Western snacks and drinks." The sea said modestly.

At this time, Xue Ting came over, stood beside Su Yuqian and said, "What are you talking about?" So lively! ”

"Nothing, why are you done so quickly?" Su Yuqian said suspiciously.

"That's the end of what needs to be said, otherwise what do you think we're going to do?" Xue Ting said with a smile.

Shen Yin said to Hu Xiangxiang, "Thank you!" It's time for us to go, and we'll keep in touch in the future. ”

The three of them walked out of the café, and Xue Ting's mother had already come out of the dentist. Her mother hurriedly began to inquire about the results of Xue Ting's blind date.

Xue Ting said helplessly: "Mom, can you not arrange these useless blind dates for me in the future?" It's not like your daughter can't get married. ”

"Tingting, you are twenty-seven now, and you will be twenty-eight after the New Year, you look at Wu Fengfeng in the neighborhood, they are younger than you, and the children are now in kindergarten." Xue Ting's mother chattered like a cannonball.

Su Yuqian saw that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round and said, "Auntie, Tingting and Zhao Ming get along very well, she is just embarrassed to say it in front of so many people, right?" Tingting. Su Yuqian looked at Xue Ting.

"Yes, Auntie, I think Zhao Ming and Tingting are quite compatible, and besides, they have only been together for an hour, how can they draw conclusions? You see, the first time they met, wasn't it good? Shen Yin also played a round on the side.

"Well, you two have a point. Tingting, this matter, mom won't force you. Xue Ting's mother compromised.

They went shopping together - 'Shunshui Ruyi' shopping mall, in the mall, Su Yuqian saw that there were discounted clothes, and she couldn't move her footsteps, Shen Yin accompanied Su Yuqian to try on several sets of clothes. Xue Ting accompanied her mother to shop for home appliances and bought a microwave oven and a soybean milk machine. They spent four hours in the mall, and finally, Shen Yin bought a dark brown hat for her grandmother and a black coat for her sister. Su Yuqian bought a lot of clothes and shoes, and they helped her carry many things back.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Shen Yin got home, and her grandmother was already asleep. She tidied up her things and set a five o'clock alarm on her phone because she had to go to work tomorrow morning and had to catch the earliest bus. Shen Yin went home this time and only took a three-day vacation.
