Chapter 20: Blind Date
Facts have proved that Xia Zixuan is not wrong about Li Xin, because under her care, Li Xin's ability is getting higher and higher day by day, and her heart is also very kind and simple, not only does she not have any flowers, but also often helps others, she is a good talent, but on this day, Xia Zixuan ushered in one of the biggest 'problems' in her life, because of Xia Zixuan's existence, only Li Xin knows about it now, so on this day, Li Xin's parents arranged a blind date for Li Xin......
This day is another dull day, Li Xin as usual, practicing, drawing talismans, and cultivating spirits, because it may have been relatively peaceful recently, Li Qiang did not come to Li Xin in the past two days, but at noon, Li Xin's father mysteriously called Li Xin into the house.
"Dad, what's the matter? Can you commit such a mysterious thing? ”
After Li Xin's father called Li Xin into the room, he pointed to the chair next to the table, Li Xin saw that there were several more dishes on the table than usual, and his mother was still cooking in the kitchen, so he realized that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to sit down, he didn't dare to speak, he was stunned in place, and he didn't dare to move.
"Sit down, son, let's have two drinks today." Li Xin's father took out two wine glasses for the first time, Li Xin put one there, and put one in front of him, you know, Li Xin's father never let Li Xin touch wine before.
"Dad, is there anything you can say directly?" Li Xin felt more and more that there was fraud in it, but he couldn't say it, and he was really a little unaccustomed to seeing his father suddenly be kind to him.
"Son, what can your father do, you sit down quickly, and our family will have a good meal."
At this time, Li Xin's mother also came over with the dishes and said, "Come, son, it's time to eat." ”
Although it was a little weird, Li Xin still sat down, and then Li Xin's mother and father began to frown, as if they were discussing who would speak first, Li Xin didn't look at them, and ate quietly, at this time Li Xin's father spoke.
"Xiao Xin, you are also a big boss, there are some things I have to talk to you about." Li Xin's father said earnestly.
"I will find a way to do things at work, I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't get involved in pornography, and I have a good job and rest."
"Uh......" Li Xin's father looked embarrassed for a moment, and then said, "What I want to say...... Not these ......"
"What else could it be?"
"I'd like to introduce you to someone."
"Poof! Father?! What did you say?! ”
Li Xin's father's unprecedented words made Li Xin spray rice on the spot, not only that, but even the jade pendant that Li Xin was carrying lit up, and it seemed that Xia Zixuan was also deeply shocked.
"Dad, what are you going to do? Introduce me to someone? No, no, no, it's good that I'm single, no, not at all! Li Xin hurriedly excused himself, because he was afraid that if it was a little later, Xia Zixuan would not be able to help but come out.
Li Xin's father had long known that Li Xin would react like this, but he still said seriously: "Xiao Xin, listen to me first, you are also a big man, and you should have a companion, your mother and I are old, you are such a person, and we are really not at ease at the end of the day, this is not when your aunt came a few days ago, she talked to us, and said that a girl in the town next door is very suitable, and she is also a college student, and she looks very good, not cold, and she wants to look like a ......."
"No, no, no...... She is a goddess of heaven, and I will not agree. Li Xin righteously refused.
"Don't worry, listen to me, your aunt will talk about it on her own initiative in the past few days, but the girl likes you very much, and she wants to meet you for everything, so she will make an appointment tonight, you see, your aunt has talked about this matter, or ...... You just go and meet people, and then talk about it if you can't meet them, and if you look at them right, you can't tell, right? ”
"Daddy. I really don't want to go, you have to find a way to excuse it. Li Xin really wanted to cry without tears when he said this, and he pressed the jade pendant tightly with both hands, because he felt that Xia Zixuan in the jade pendant was already about to move.
Li Xin's father glanced at Li Xin's mother, shook his head, sighed, and continued to eat, but Li Xin's mother suddenly dropped her chopsticks.
"I don't care, you have to go today, you have to go if you don't go! It's all about this, you can't let the two of us not get off the stage, right? ”
Facing his mother's scolding, Li Xin said almost aggrievedly: "Mom...... I ......"
Li Xin's mother gritted her teeth and simply turned her back: "If you don't go for a day, I won't eat for a day, when will you go, when will I eat, if you are not afraid of starving me, you will consume." ”
Only then did Li Xin understand that he dared to love his father and mother with a red face and a white face, and he was caught in the middle was in a dilemma, and in the end Li Xin could only say weakly: "Mom...... I'll think about it......"
A sumptuous lunch, in a not too harmonious atmosphere, can be regarded as finished, as soon as Li Xin returned to the house, Xia Zixuan burst out, almost questioning tone and said: "Li Xin! Me and that little girl! You have to pick one today! ”
Li Xin's tears almost came out: "My mother, mother, do you still need to choose?" I'm sure I'm going to pick you, but ...... My parents don't think so. ”
"You...... Do you ...... Don't like that woman? ”
"I haven't even seen it, I can like a fart, lady, since I said that I would love you for the rest of my life, I will definitely not break my promise, but now I am also in a difficult situation." Li Xin said weakly.
Xia Zixuan crossed her hands and sat cross-legged on the bed, Li Xin was a little embarrassed, it was not right to go, it was not okay not to go, the two were silent like this.
After a short silence, Xia Zixuan took the lead in breaking the embarrassing deadlock, and said angrily: "Otherwise...... Otherwise, I'll just walk out like this, and then you tell your parents that I'm a friend you've been secretly talking about before, and I'm planning to get married...... You don't think it's going to work. ”
Xia Zixuan's idea may not work, but her words made Li Xin have a question: "Lady, what do you mean...... Can you walk around outside the jade pendant for a long time? ”
Xia Zixuan nodded: "Of course, I can stay wherever I want, stay as long as I want, who can stop me?" ”
"Then why have you been living in the jade pendant? Do you want to go back every time you come out? ”
Xia Zixuan said with some complaints: "It's not because of you, after so long, did you give me another place to live?" ”
"Uh......" Hearing this, Li Xin's face was embarrassed, and Xia Zixuan said faintly: "Actually...... I can't blame you entirely, I had been sleeping in Jade Perry until your blood woke me up, and I realized that so many years had passed...... After that, it was because there was a big space in Jade Perry, like a big house, and I lived in it very comfortably, so I didn't come out. ”
"It's also my fault, I was negligent before, don't worry, I'll make things clear to them today and let you live with me in my house."
Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and said, "But what do you want to say?" Tell your parents, you have an extra daughter-in-law out of thin air? Not human yet? ”
Li Xin's eyes rolled around in his sockets a few times, and suddenly he thought of a good idea, so he put his mouth next to Xia Zixuan's ear and told her his plan.
"That's ...... Does it really work? Xia Zixuan asked with some distrust.
"No problem, it depends on how unreal you act." Li Xin said confidently.
"Okay then......" Xia Zixuan didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little hairy.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xin's aunt came, and said that she had to take Li Xin to clean up in advance, so she asked Li Xin's parents for some money, got Li Xin a new dress, and made a new hairstyle.
In the next few hours, Li Xin has been brainwashed by his 'fashionable' aunt, and finally, at the appointed time, Li Xin arrived at the place, which is a restaurant with a good price, because the aunt has already taken care of everything, so Li Xin has almost nothing to worry about, of course, this is exactly what he wants.
When he arrived at the place, Li Xin found that the girl came earlier than him, so out of politeness, Li Xin still said hello: "Sorry, I'm late, I've been waiting for a long time, right?" ”
The girl who went to the appointment is not too beautiful, but she is not ugly, her upright facial features and corrected figure are not as good as Xia Zixuan, but in such a small place, she is also a rare beauty, and it is no wonder that Li Xin's parents and aunt praised her vigorously.
"No, it's just arrived."
The two of them were here, Li Xin's aunt and the girl's mother were sitting at another table not far away and observing, and it seemed that the girl's mother still liked it very much.
In the words of the two of you, Li Xin learned that this girl was not like her family said, she fell in love with her at first sight, how deep her love was, on the contrary, in fact, this girl didn't mean much to herself.
But why, even so, do two people still have to meet together? In fact, the main reason is because of the girl's mother, the girl's father died in an accident two years ago, the girl's mother is not the girl's biological mother, it is the girl's father who married the stepmother after the death of the girl's mother, this stepmother and her father also gave birth to a son together, after having a son, the girl's mother naturally does not have much affection for the girl, seeing that the son has reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, and the family does not have much money, so she plans to marry her daughter hastily and make up a dowry money for her son.
And Li Xin's aunt is also because the girl's mother promised her that she would give her a lot of benefits after the matter is completed, so she is so active in helping the girl's mother.
When Li Xin learned about this, he was simply full of anger, not only because he was deceived into going on a blind date, but also because he had almost zero tolerance for what the girl's stepmother did.
After that, the girl also said that she had graduated, and she planned to leave the house after graduation, anyway, at home, her stepmother was cold to her every day, and her younger brother also ignored her love, so she simply wanted to go out to find a job and live a good life outside, and was suddenly forced to go on a blind date, also because her stepmother secretly took all the money on her body and forced herself to come.
