Chapter 2 I can't see through
The first time he took the cuckoo to Lu Xiaoping's dinner, Tang Hongye could be said to attach great importance to it, and he was ready to deal with it in all aspects.
First of all, in terms of appearance, Tang Hongye still has a certain confidence in his appearance, and he is also confident in his figure, after all, he is also a person who insists on fitness in his spare time, and his exercise habits have always been very good.
The second is the aspect of dressing, which makes Tang Hongye a little worried, because of work on weekdays, he needs to run around, if he encounters an arrest or something, he also needs to chase people and run, climb over the wall and jump over the ditch or something, so most of his clothes are athleisure styles, and he himself likes this kind of clothing style that is easy and comfortable to wear, and he has not added any other styles.
Now that I'm going to an appointment, I'm a little worried, wearing sweatpants and a big white T-shirt, it's a little too casual, and it looks like I've eaten dinner and gone out to buy groceries. But if you wear a suit and pants with a shirt, Tang Hongye feels a little too formal, his temperament is still a certain difference from those office white-collar workers, if he really wears a suit and leather shoes, let's not talk about whether it is hot or not, I am afraid that I will make a mess and become an anti-dog.
Lu Xiaoping saw it with his own eyes last time, and he was completely like a business person.
So he told the cuckoo about his troubles, and the cuckoo felt crying and laughing after hearing it, she had always thought that it was a girl's patent to go out to an appointment and not find the right clothes to wear, but she didn't expect that men also had such a time, and they thought it was very interesting for a while.
But she decided to tease him: "I don't think there's anything wrong with suits and leather shoes, otherwise you can pick a suit and wear it, in case there are any blind dates and other arrangements one day, you will use it!" ”
Tang Hongye looked at Du Juan a little helplessly, and sighed: "You took this matter out again and deliberately messed with me!" Haven't I explained it to you many times, first of all, it was a long time ago, and it's been a long time ago! Second, I didn't go on a blind date that time! Isn't that the head of the family has to be introduced, and it really can't be pushed, so I have to deal with it! I don't remember what the woman looked like, but one thing that impressed me was that the guy ate like he fed a rabbit, and he nibbled on two vegetable leaves in one meal, and then said he was full! I thought, if this is a cuckoo eating, it must not be like this! ”
The cuckoo glared, raised his hand to make a gesture to fight, and Tang Hongye hurriedly shrank his neck to dodge.
"Don't, don't! Praise you! Praise you! Ouch! Tang Hongye was busy hiding from the cuckoo, and accidentally hit his shoulder on the cabinet on the side, grinning in pain, "Who can eat two vegetable leaves in one meal and live to be healthy and old!" As long as a man with a normal brain really wants to go with a girl for a long time, he definitely won't want the other party to be hungry and malnourished! If you ate so much every day in order to be thin, I would have stopped you a long time ago! As for people who have nothing to do with me, I can toss as much as I love! ”
Du Juan looked at him while rubbing his injured shoulder, while still busy explaining to himself, and felt very funny, in fact, Tang Hongye knew about the blind date, at that time she was still working in her hometown, I heard that Tang Hongye was going on a blind date, not to mention how awkward it was in her heart, but later she also listened to her parents chatting and said, it was indeed a relative in Tang Hongye's family who was very stubborn to introduce the children of acquaintances to Tang Hongye, Tang Hongye's family of three repeatedly refused to refuse, I had to let Tang Hongye meet to deal with it.
And Du Juan also started from that incident, and he was completely determined to work hard for the transfer of work to City A. She feels that no matter whether the two of them can come together or not, at least they should make an effort for the relationship in their hearts for so many years, and they will be happy if they succeed, and they will have no regrets if they fail.
"Then let's go for a walk on the street and find out what style is more suitable for you besides sweatpants and T-shirts," she saw that it was still early, and the weather outside was good, which was quite suitable for going out for a walk, "Maybe there will be other activities or occasions in the future, which can also be used!" ”
"Makes sense!" Tang Hongye nodded solemnly, "Although we have known each other for so many years, your parents are quite familiar with me, but after the two of us confirm our relationship, this role will be different!" The old neighbor's son is no problem wearing a tank top and pants flip-flops, but if he becomes a prospective son-in-law who comes to visit...... It can't be the same standard! After we were together, I haven't officially gone to your house to say hello to your parents, and I really should be ready to let your parents see my sincerity! ”
Du Juan looked at him and smiled, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, the two people have known each other for many years, and the two families have also known each other for a long time, although the parents of both sides have never given up wanting to match them, but because the two people have not taken that step for a long time, so the two old people have not really regarded each other directly as quasi-sons-in-law and prospective daughters-in-law. Tang's father and Tang's mother already knew by mistake, and it is estimated that their parents must have heard the news now, and the reason why they didn't call to ask questions should be because they were afraid that they would be ashamed, so I wanted to give them more space and time.
However, it was a matter of time before he came to meet his parents, but Du Juan didn't expect Tang Hongye to think about this matter and attach great importance to it.
Thinking of looking back and facing his parents like a hairy son-in-law, Du Juan couldn't help but feel that the picture would be very interesting, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
So the two of them happily went out for a walk, Du Juan helped Tang Hongye as a staff officer, picked and chosen, and finally decided not to choose too formal clothes, after all, from the perspective of the careers of the two people, when it comes to formal occasions, they must be uniformly dressed and wear regular clothes, ordinary suits or something, and the practicality is not high.
And just like Tang Hongye tried to avoid before, the suit and leather shoes were inevitably a little too strong, and the gains outweighed the losses, and it was not a good choice, so the cuckoo picked and chosen, and finally chose a light-colored polo shirt for Tang Hongye, the style is slightly slimmer than the loose T-shirt that Tang Hongye likes on weekdays, and the wide shoulders and thin waist of Tang Hongye's upper body are completely highlighted, and the lower body is paired with dark blue slacks and white casual sneakers, which looks refreshing and neat, casual and not too casual.
Because Du Juan is not a person who particularly likes to influence the details of other people's lives, this is the first time she has helped Tang Hongye match clothes since she took the position of "girlfriend". Tang Hongye stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right, he was very satisfied with his own shape in the mirror, it looked simple, but his body advantages were shown very naturally, the inverted triangle with long legs was quite pleasing to the eye.
"I have to admit one thing," he said to the cuckoo after examining himself in the mirror, "your vision and level of dressing me are second only to my vision and level of finding a girlfriend!" ”
"Well, I see the thickness of your soles, it's far worse than the thickness of your skin!" The cuckoo replied to him, teasing on his lips, but it was actually quite beautiful in his heart, after all, there was a girl who didn't want to hear praise and affirmation from her boyfriend.
In this way, Tang Hongye finalized his trip to the appointment, and he was even more confident, and on the day of the appointment with Lu Xiaoping, he dressed up properly, drove the cuckoo and went straight to the hotel.
In contrast, Du Juan is much more casual, she is just out of the most basic politeness of such an old classmate who has little friendship with her, is not familiar with it, and even has a shallow memory of the other party, she did not wear jeans and sneakers as usual, but changed into a dress that she usually has little chance to wear, with a pair of lace leather shoes, and her face is still not powdered, Rao is so, it still looks very pure and beautiful.
Tang Hongye was still thinking in his heart while driving, no wonder the male classmates in the previous class, who are still single now, want to inquire about the cuckoo, this casual change of skirt can immediately show the goddess style, if you really spend some time dressing up and dressing up, then pay it back? ! Fortunately, he realized it early, and he also took shit luck, so that Du Juan always looked at himself differently, which was so lucky.
When the two arrived at the agreed hotel, Tang Hongye parked the car and walked in with Du Juan.
This restaurant is in the upper middle of the city of A, the price is not outrageous, but it is not very close to the people, so usually Tang Hongye and Du Juan have not considered dining here, this is the first time.
Lu Xiaoping booked a private room, and when the waiter brought Tang Hongye and Du Juan over, he was sitting in it alone, bored fiddling with his mobile phone, when he heard the sound of opening the door, he saw that two people had arrived, so he put away his mobile phone, got up enthusiastically to greet him, and greeted the two people.
After the three of them sat down, the waiter brought the menu, Lu Xiaoping handed the menu to Du Juan very gentlemanly and asked her to make a choice, Du Juan repeatedly refused, Tang Hongye also said that after the guest was at his disposal, he took the menu over and chose a few dishes, two of which were well-known women's dishes, which were obviously made to take care of Du Juan's taste.
Lu Xiaoping wears a little more formal than Tang Hongye, with a short-sleeved shirt and suit pants, he does have the temperament of a business person, his arms are relatively thick, and it is obvious that he has been able to exercise beautiful muscles after systematic fitness training, and he has propped up the shirt sleeves, and he doesn't look weak at all.
In short, this image looks really far from the little fat man in Tang Hongye's memory.
The three of them ate for a while with a little embarrassment, Lu Xiaoping put down his chopsticks and picked up the glass in front of him, because he and Tang Hongye both needed to drive, so no one drank alcohol, but asked for a bunch of freshly squeezed chilled watermelon juice instead of wine.
"I'll give you a glass first!" Lu Xiaoping smiled at Tang Hongye and Du Juan with a look of shame, "I ran to the public security bureau recklessly that day and caused you trouble!" Especially Hongye, you must not be like me, if I knew that Du Juan had a boyfriend, and he was also our classmate, I wouldn't run to lose that person if I said anything! When I first transferred to that school, you provided me with a lot of help, although you may not be able to remember it now, but as a child who had just arrived in a strange environment at that time, even the smallest care and help would make people feel particularly fresh and unforgettable. ”
Du Juan hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that it was not as noble and great as Lu Xiaoping said, she was really embarrassed to tell Lu Xiaoping that she really forgot all the things he said, and she didn't remember it at all.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaoping didn't recall too much about how Du Juan helped him in the first place, but chatted with Tang Hongye about the recent situation of many male classmates in the past class.
"There is a chat group in our class, and I was pulled into it by them almost half a year ago, and almost all the students in our class are about to get together, and neither of you seems to be in it," Lu Xiaoping said as he took out his mobile phone, "Do you need me to pull you two into the group?" Many students in our class are very worried about the two of you, and a while ago I was still inquiring about your current situation, but no one else could answer, saying that after the two of you went to college, it became more and more mysterious, and only the monkey knew a little bit about it, and told everyone. ”
"We're mainly too busy, with irregular working hours and too little free time, even if there is no case at hand, there is a lot of training and duty and the like, even if you add us, it is estimated that we will not have many opportunities to go in and chat with everyone, so let's not use it." Tang Hongye politely declined Lu Xiaoping's enthusiasm, "Anyway, you can meet when you go back to the class reunion." ”
"Okay, then I'll help you two stay mysterious and surprise them when the time comes!" Lu Xiaoping was also interested, and saw that Tang Hongye and Du Juan were not interested in that chat group, so they simply did not insist, but continued to chat with Tang Hongye about other topics, it can be said that they are all over the world, from current affairs to sports competitions, to fitness topics, they look like they are talking happily.
Tang Hongye originally thought that Lu Xiaoping might take the opportunity to flaunt himself and deliberately behave in front of Du Juan, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiaoping didn't seem to have that kind of intention at all, except for initially expressing his gratitude to Du Juan for his help back then, he never bypassed the topic to her.
Chatting and talking, the atmosphere is indeed quite lively, but the cuckoo has become a mural, and it is just necessary to eat and drink quietly on the side, and there is no way to break into the "men's topic" between Lu Xiaoping and Tang Hongye.
