Chapter 53: Online Dating
Aunt Liu had already prepared breakfast, not the milk bread slices that I hated before, but my favorite fritters. I was a little flattered and hurriedly ran over to sit down at the table. Xie Chen also had two fritters in front of him, and when he saw me sit down, he began to complain: "What's so good about being greasy?" ”
I didn't bother to raise the bar with him, picked up the fritters in front of me and gobbled them up, and Aunt Liu shouted at me in the kitchen, "Miss Lin, do you want to add sugar to soy milk?" ”
At first, I didn't feel anything wrong, but it took me a word to make sense. I glanced at Aunt Liu, who was busy in the kitchen, in surprise, and she had already brought the soy milk to me, "Miss Lin, you drink it while it's hot." ”
I heard it right, she did call me "Miss Lin".
I glanced at Xie Chen, and he said lazily, "Don't you like people to call you so respectful?" Miss Lin? ”
To be honest, when I heard them call me "Lin" before, I was really disgusted and uncomfortable. But today I suddenly changed my name, and I felt a little strange, so I knew why everyone was here early in the morning.
Xie Chen's intentions are indeed very useful, but I still pretend to be hypocritical and say, "It's so polite!" I'm embarrassed to call it that. ”
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Then if I call you 'Mrs. Xie', are you embarrassed?" ”
I blushed and quickly shut up, picked up the soy milk in front of me and drank it all, and my whole heart was pounding. Xie Chen had made similar jokes in front of me before, even more explicitly, and I had already become cheeky. But today, I look like a shy little daughter-in-law in front of him.
In fact, there is one thing I overlooked, I don't know when the relationship between me and Xie Chen has begun to change. After his father's death? Or is it after that kiss? I don't remember exactly. But I can be sure that he no longer says nasty things in front of me, and even sometimes does something heart-warming. For example, one time, I was busy in front of the computer until midnight because I was rushing for a paper, and I fell asleep in front of the computer desk, and that night he helped me take off my shoes and put me on the bed, and finally helped me finish printing the manuscript unbelievably.
I didn't understand the reason for the change between us, but in the meantime, we had a deep conversation.
It was Li Shuangshuang who heated up the conflict with Shen Nuo because of the online dating matter, and when the war between the two of them reached its highest point, Shuangshuang finally confessed to me, she said: "I know Shen Nuo's feelings for me, but I'll be honest with you!" I ...... to him I don't know what it feels like. It's a good buddy, but I can't be as simple as Haoyang, it's the relationship between men and women, and I can't feel the excitement and romance that lovers should have...... I don't understand, so I want to be thorough with him and draw a line. ”
I don't agree with her answer, but this is the first time since I met her that she has discussed emotional issues with me so seriously, and I desperately suppressed the urge to slap her and asked: "Then this netizen of yours now, what you give you is excitement and romance?" ”
"It's not a ...... Maybe I have a fire in my bones. He is completely different from what Shen Nuo gave me, in fact, by Shen Nuo's side, I can feel a kind of steadfastness and reliability, but the love I want is not like this, what I want is mysterious and exciting. Do you understand? ”
“……”
"Haoyang still thinks the same about you? But didn't you choose him in the end? I don't know if we're all the same, I can't accept being together all day, good buddies and good friends who know everything well, and suddenly becoming their own lovers. We are all young, we all need to embrace novelty and challenge, and we all want to enjoy this process of moving from strangeness to familiarity...... Isn't it? ”
Originally, I accepted Shen Nuo's sixth commission to be a peacemaker that day, but Shuangshuang's words made me have to re-examine my view of love. Maybe she's right, we're all people who don't want to accept conventions in our bones, and we don't want our lives to be peaceful. Haoyang gave me a lot, he was rich, handsome, excellent, gentle, and careful...... I really can't find anything wrong with it, but as Shuangshuang said, the important thing for two people to be together is tacit understanding, and sometimes it's not clear what it feels like to be together. With Haoyang, I only don't feel thrilling, like a piece of candy, he gave it all to me at once, but it made me feel unfinished.
And at the same time, I have to admit that the void that I am missing is slowly being filled, and I don't know when and from which thing I started to get what I wanted in another person. Since then, there have been waves and ups and downs in the mood, as if the heart has been injected with fresh blood and revived. Those long-lost excitement, disappointment, excitement, frustration, doubt, anticipation...... It's all alive.
