We started chatting and waiting for Qingqing.

waited and waited, but never saw her come.

"Why don't we go to the restaurant first," I said to Mengqi, "and wait while we eat!" ”

"Yes," Meng Qi grumbled, "she likes to be late for anything!" ”

A group of five of us headed towards the restaurant.

As soon as the dishes were served, Qingqing rushed over.

"Interview while eating?" Chu Fangfang asked me.

I smiled and nodded.

"My single state," Qingqing said after taking a sip of red wine, "is both love and hate, pain and happiness!" ”

"Can you express it in a song?" Chu Fangfang asked with a smile.

"Just use Li Na's "Single Woman", Qingqing smiled, "Repeating thousands of sighs / Always met unexpectedly in dreams / Once because the curtain of emotion was closed early / and was lifted by the hand of the night......"

"I love this song too!" Chu Fangfang smiled slightly.

"For Beijing," Qingqing said briskly, "I feel both love and hate, pain and happiness." What I love is that this place has made me a 'white bone spirit' through and through, and what I hate is that it has also made me drift into an older single 'ghost' clan without realizing it. ”

"Then you've been in a lot of relationships, right?" Chu Fangfang asked tentatively.

"No one can believe it," Qingqing said with a smile, "I haven't been in a serious relationship so far!" ”

"Why?" Chu Fangfang asked puzzled.

"Because when I was in school," Qingqing said with a smile, "my mother taught me all day long, saying that girls must be reserved and never fall in love." I listened to my mom very much, and with such a reserve, there would be no story about my campus love. ”

"Why didn't you talk about it after work?" Chu Fangfang then asked.

"After joining the work," Qingqing said with a smile on her cheeks, "I wanted to be able to fall in love with great fanfare, but the company leader I met appreciated and valued me very much, and soon promoted me to the head of the company." As a supervisor, my work became even busier, I went to work at 7 o'clock every day, and I didn't get home until after 8 o'clock in the evening, and I was often so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I lay in bed. If you go on a business trip, it's even harder, and you often get jet lag upside down, and you're dizzy. The pace of work is too fast, so I simply don't have the time and energy to have a serious relationship with a strange person of the opposite sex, let alone talk about love! ”

"Then there are no men in your circle of life?" Chu Fangfang asked puzzledly.

"My circle of life in Beijing," Qingqing said seriously, "is actually a man's circle." I have to compete with them as a woman, and I may have to put in more effort and pressure than a man to pay and bear. The only thing I could do was run to the bar and let it go. That's when I got into the habit of clubbing! ”

"I don't like clubbing!" Chu Fangfang smiled.

"I love clubbing!" Qingqing said happily, "Because I like the night in Beijing more than the men in Beijing." ”

"The night in Beijing is truly charming!" Chu Fangfang said with a smile.

"Yes," Qingqing nodded, "Beijing at night is different from Beijing during the day. During the day, it is hard and arrogant, crowded and unkempt with pollution, but at night the air is so fresh that not even the main highways are congested with traffic. Neon billboards and various street lamps happily bite through the darkness. Under the dark night sky, the city appears wide and clear, deep and atmospheric, refreshing and prosperous......"

"Then you must have been to a lot of bars!" Chu Fangfang guessed.

"It's a lot," said Qingqing, "and I've been to most of the city's bars one night after another, soaking myself in one different taste of wine, sober or intoxicated; It was that kind of night that made me feel that the city was like a gentle beast, swallowing itself little by little in its breath, and producing a pleasure that was about to disappear in the pain. At midnight in this city, like a dark and gorgeous forest, I was like a sleepwalking ghost! ”

"Then you don't want men?" Chu Fangfang asked thoughtfully.

"I don't want that to be false," Qingqing said with a wry smile, "I, a sleepwalking 'ghost', also hope to have a strong arm for me to rely on, someone to listen to me tell about the grievances in my heart, someone to share happiness and pain with me, I hope this person is a man who can fit with me materially and spiritually." But the men I met never satisfied me. First of all, I can't tolerate a man being poor, not that I want to spend his money, but that I'm afraid that I'll become his ATM. ”

"I have a deep understanding," Chu Fangfang said indignantly, "I once met a scumbag who was poor and had a big temper!" ”

"To be honest," Qingqing said seriously, "I pay more attention to a man's inner than money. There was once a man with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan who chased me, but this guy worked overtime every day in addition to work, and sometimes even muttered about his work while going to bed, which made people want to go crazy! Thinking about it, such a man is actually a money-making machine, and I am not short of money to spend, so I finally decided to leave with the pain. In this way, inadvertently, I have passed the age of talking about marriage. Men, just like the dishes in the market after the typhoon, there are fewer and fewer to choose from! ”

"Then no one is forced to marry?" Chu Fangfang asked with a smile.

"Of course there is," Qingqing said helplessly, "This is what gives me the most headache, the forced marriage group composed of relatives and friends repeats the question of 'why not get married' in my ears thousands of times all day long, making it like being embattled!" ”

Chu Fangfang smiled slightly.

I smiled silently.

We started to push glasses and change glasses, drink and chat.
