Chapter 39 Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals
Ai Ming is a person who is not willing to be lonely, because his own conditions are good, and when he reaches the marriageable age, some people naturally want to introduce him.
Ai Ming has not talked about friends since graduation, and when someone took the initiative to introduce him to his girlfriend, he was of course overjoyed.
The other party's name is Qiu Mei, graduated from a bachelor's degree, works in a large company, focuses on product research and development, has a very scholarly temperament, and is now preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
Ai Ming liked it very much and felt that this girl was more self-motivated.
When he first met Qiu Mei, it was in a coffee house that a friend had made an appointment.
Qiu Mei's figure is relatively thin, with long hair in the style of clear soup noodles, and her appearance is not particularly charming, but she has a melon seed face, big Danfeng eyes, wearing a casual T-shirt, black cropped pants, and a student smell all over her body.
And Ai Ming just likes this kind of girl who is full of student flavor, which makes him can't help but recall his student days.
Ai Ming was more talkative, ordered two cups of coffee and a fruit platter, and chatted with Qiu Mei.
They chatted very happily, and Ai Ming took the opportunity to learn seven or eight points about Qiu Mei's situation.
Qiu Mei has an older brother who works in the field, and her parents are directors of a company.
She has just joined the work, because she has a degree in hand and the care of her parents, so she arranged to do product research and development work.
In fact, she doesn't have to be busy and tired every day, just an assistant to help R&D personnel sort out information and do some auxiliary work.
But Qiu Mei is not satisfied with just starting out, but if she wants to be promoted, she must have a higher education, so she made up her mind to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination.
Ai Ming thinks this girl is quite self-motivated, he also graduated from college, but he is not ready for graduate school.
If you want to seek a higher education, the postgraduate entrance examination is the only way to go.
After Ai Ming listened to Qiu Mei's thoughts, he felt that he was lacking a little enterprising spirit, so he secretly planned to go to graduate school, but now he got in touch with Qiu Mei first to see if he could continue in the future.
After hearing Ai Ming's idea of going to graduate school, Qiu Mei encouraged him and said, "Ai Ming, if you want to have a better future, you must take the graduate school entrance examination." ”
Ai Ming smiled in agreement: "Yes, without this education, it will be difficult to be promoted in the future." ”
Qiu Mei told Ai Ming that it was difficult to take the graduate school entrance examination, and some people took the exam a few times, but with the experience, there was still a chance to be admitted.
Ai Ming knew the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination, and he had heard about it for a long time, so when he first graduated, he did not choose to continue his graduate studies, but joined the work first.
As for Qiu Mei's determination to go to graduate school, he admires it very much.
Even Ai Ming speculated whether Qiu Mei wanted to develop to a higher level after graduating from graduate school, but he didn't say it, if he got a positive answer, he would feel very embarrassed, because even if he succeeded in graduate school, he might not sprint to a higher degree.
It's something that is super difficult, and Emin doesn't necessarily have the perseverance and perseverance to put in the effort, although it's a very tempting thing.
Qiu Mei sat opposite Ai Ming, picked a slice of peeled apple with a toothpick, put it to her lips, took a bite, and chewed slowly.
When she found out that Ai Ming heard that she was preparing to go to graduate school, a look of surprise quietly flashed across her face, and she knew that as a girl, the idea of setting such a big ambition and striving for a higher education may not be rare in this circle at that time.
She also doubted whether she was a little ambitious, because in the traditional concept, as long as the girl's family marries well, she is satisfied with being a good wife and mother, and having too high a degree is a lot of pressure for her husband.
But Qiumei was not satisfied with the current status quo, she wanted to get more opportunities, but she couldn't do it with her current qualifications, so she came up with the idea of going to graduate school.
Her best friend thinks that Qiu Mei is too idealistic, which will make her seem too ambitious, but if she only lives a good wife and mother for the rest of her life, Qiu Mei feels a little chicken.
This is not the life she wants, Qiu Mei has a long-term plan.
So she thought twice, even if she was looking for a boyfriend, she had to find a like-minded person, so as not to add some troubles in the future, and work together, which is the best of both worlds.
Someone has made an introduction before, but after a conversation, the other party felt that she was a little undown-to-earth, although there was no obvious indication on her lips, but Qiu Mei was a person who could observe words and colors, and after tasting it, she understood what the other party meant.
So, this kind of introduction is gone.
But when Qiu Mei saw that Ai Ming uncharacteristically approved of her idea, and also revealed the same meaning, Qiu Mei felt that she had met a confidant, so she thought that no matter whether Ai Ming would really go to graduate school or not, at least she was like-minded with herself.
Qiu Mei privately felt that Ai Ming still had merit, listening to his words and looking at his demeanor, he was not as narrow-minded and rude as some men.
So she secretly planned to have a relationship with Aiming.
And Ai Ming is very talkative and polite, and she also hopes that Ai Ming can continue to ask her to meet and chat.
In Ai Ming's impression, he thinks that Qiu Mei is not as kitsch as some girls, with a bit of a high character, and he is willing to date her, so he agreed on the time when the two will meet next time.
Of course, Qiu Mei accepted it, and did not pretend to be tall, which made Ai Ming feel that she was very refreshing, a little different from ordinary girls.
Emin later dated her a few times and it went very well.
However, out of prudence, the two did not rush to settle on a relationship, but planned to continue dating for a while.
For a person's understanding, it is not something that can be figured out in a short time, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", Qiu Mei has very high requirements for her future husband. As for Ai Ming, she still wants to know more about it.
Ai Ming knew that it was not so fast to catch up with Qiu Mei immediately, her heart was relatively high, but she was also a girl with a simple background, Ai Ming didn't want to give up Qiu Mei, so she made up her mind to have a "protracted war".
Regarding Qiu Mei's matter, Yinglong heard Ai Ming say it.
Yinglong also met Qiu Mei once, when Ai Ming asked him to have tea together.
They met in a café.
Ai Ming sat next to Qiu Mei and introduced to Yinglong, "This is Qiu Mei, my girlfriend. ”
As he spoke, he introduced Yinglong to Qiu Mei: "This is my alumnus, called Yinglong." ”
Qiu Mei smiled generously and said hello: "Hello, Yinglong, I've heard Ai Ming mention you many times, and I've heard of your name for a long time!" ”
When Yinglong heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Hello! Qiu Mei, I also heard Ai Ming talk about you, and when you meet, you are really as good as your name, Ai Ming, you kid is so blessed! ”
Then Ai Ming told Qiu Mei about some of his past with Yinglong in college, and talked about the past of playing with him, and constantly praised Yinglong's superb ball skills.
Yinglong felt embarrassed when he saw this, and hurriedly waved his hand to cover up: "Where, I am not as good as others, which is your Ai Ming's opponent!" ”
Qiu Mei glanced at Ai Ming and hurriedly said, "Thanks to you guys back then, Ai Ming is now the main team member of the unit!" ”
Yinglong hurriedly complimented: "I know that you Ai Ming is amazing, but it looks like you two are a good match!" ”
When Ai Ming talks about his and Qiu Mei's plan to go to graduate school, Yinglong immediately expresses his support, but also regrets that he is not able to fulfill his wishes.
However, his good friend is willing to go to graduate school, of course, he supports it, but he also has to think about his future plans.
Ai Ming and Qiu Mei sat there with a little happiness on their faces, looking at Qiu Mei squinting and smiling very happily, sitting obediently next to Ai Ming, with a satisfied expression on her face, Yinglong unconsciously thought that the "female school bully" in the eyes of others was actually a little woman.
Yinglong was very envious, and couldn't help but think of the sentence: only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.
But now he is still alone, and it has been a long time since he left Shiwei, and without any news from her, a long time has passed.
Although I sometimes think of her, the feeling of heartache has become faint with the passage of time, and the once vivid image is now a little blurred.
He didn't understand what was going on, but he also understood that time would dilute everything.
Ai Ming sat opposite Yinglong, affectionately helping Qiu Mei's cup with boiling water, Qiu Mei thanked gracefully, and her posture was elegant and generous.
Then Ai Ming filled Yinglong's teacup with boiling water, and Yinglong raised his hand to thank him.
Ai Ming asked Yinglong: "When are you going to find a girlfriend, do you have a suitable partner?" ”
Yinglong was a little disappointed: "Not yet, let's talk about it later." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of the teacup to hide his embarrassment.
Ai Ming sighed: "But this matter is not urgent, with your character, it is not difficult to find a suitable partner." ”
Yinglong felt that Ai Ming was exalting him too much: "The reality is very skinny, man, if only I were like what you said!" ”
Qiu Mei listened and comforted him kindly: "Yinglong, don't be so pessimistic, I think your character is quite good, or I will have a little sister to introduce you in the future?" ”
Yinglong hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much, you really helped me a lot, haha!" ”
Ai Ming has also heard about Qiu Shiwei, but she hasn't heard Yinglong mention her for a long time, and it is estimated that the two of them will probably be out of play.
He also knew that Yinglong had a relationship with Shiwei, but the two had not been in touch for so long, and it was estimated that they probably had no hope.
It seems that Yinglong is actually quite pitiful.
It would be a good thing if Qiu Mei could really help Yinglong make an introduction.
However, he didn't know if there was any hope, because Qiu Mei's best friends were full of vision, and they didn't know if they were reliable.
Ai Ming knew that although Yinglong looked tall and handsome, his education was a little low, and his income was not high.
But he didn't know about the destruction of Yinglong's admission letter, because Yinglong never mentioned it to others.
This is a hidden pain in his heart, a scar hidden deep in his heart.
Yinglong didn't want to talk to anyone, so almost no one except his parents knew about it. If it weren't for this experience, Yinglong might be living elsewhere now, and his working conditions would not be the same
Bright inferior.
After all, as long as he has a good education, he doesn't have to suffer so much along the way.
"Seon is not blessed." Yinglong relies on this belief to support itself.
He expects to develop in the future, and he does not need to rely on that education, but only relies on his own strength and wisdom, coupled with hard work and hard work, he can find a place.
After coming out of the tea restaurant, Ai Ming took Qiu Mei to go shopping, and Yinglong said that he had taken a step beforehand.
He walked down the street alone, feeling a little lost.
Yinglong walked slowly while looking at the storefront on the side of the road.
While walking on the sidewalk, he lit a cigarette and smoked it.
The oncoming wind blew the smoke aside.
Yinglong felt very bored, and stood at a stall where he squeezed sugar cane juice, bought a cup and drank it while walking.
The cane juice is sweet and sticky, but it has a cool taste, and the bitter taste in the mouth of the freshly smoked cigarette is diluted at once.
After drinking the sugar cane juice, Yinglong threw away the plastic cup, his hands were a little slimy, so he took out a tissue and wiped it.
Yinglong looked at the street scene in the distance and pondered: "Looking at Ai Ming and Qiu Mei's sweet posture, I feel that they are as sweet and sticky as sugar cane juice." After all, they are already a pair of mandarin ducks, and they are much happier than a bachelor like me Yinglong. Who doesn't want a sweet life! As for Qiu Mei's introduction, I don't know if people look down on me. They are both planning to go to graduate school, and they are like-minded people, so I really don't know if it is time to celebrate that they are each other's bosom friends. ”
The more Yinglong thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and when he compared with Ai Ming, his sense of disparity immediately came out.
He was both envious and disappointed, but when he thought that he didn't have this strength, there was nothing he could do, and there was a sense of gap between people. It's better to be down-to-earth, who knows what will happen in the future, God has to help people, but people also have to help themselves.
The wind continued to blow, and Yinglong felt a little cool.
