Chapter 57: Awkward Blind Date (5)

Li Yue'er

"Yue'er! Hey! What a coincidence! Meet you here! This voice is very familiar, I immediately turned around, and sure enough, Pleasant Goat ran over and patted me on the shoulder happily, behind her, Manager Shen was looking at her with a smile on his face.

I also stood up happily, "Pleasant Goat, are you also here for dinner?" ”

"Hey, isn't it Shen Dazhi's house, suddenly he was greedy and said that he wanted to eat Northeast food, near this company, I only knew about this restaurant, so I came over" While rolling his eyes at Manager Shen, he said to Nunu opposite me, "What about you, Yue'er, this is ......"

"Oh, this is my dad, he came to see me today, so let's go out for dinner." I turned my head to my father and said, "Dad, this is Yang Xi, a colleague from our company, my best friend!" ”

"Hello uncle!" Pleasant Goat changed his hippie smiling face, and immediately pulled Manager Shen over in a serious manner, "What about this Yue'er father!" ”

"Oh, hello uncle!" Hearing this, Manager Shen stretched out his hand to my father, "My name is Shen Dazhi, and we are all colleagues in Li Yueer's company. ”

"Dad, this is Manager Shen of our R&D department, Yang Xi is his girlfriend" I introduced to my father, Manager Shen heard me say, and scratched his head a little embarrassed, but was pushed by Pleasant Goat, "Uncle, look, I didn't know I would see you, I didn't have any preparations, if you don't have other guests, don't dislike it, let's do an eastward trip, okay?" Yue'er is my best friend in the company, and I happened to meet here today, which is also our fate with my uncle! He gestured to Manager Shen next to him, "Right?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes," Manager Shen seemed to suddenly realize, "Uncle, Xiaoxi is right, you are an elder, it is rare to meet for the first time today, so give us a chance, and ask uncle not to refuse." ”

"Oh, Manager Shen, Xiao Yang, right?" The father also smiled and stretched out his hand, "You are all good friends of Yue'er, what's polite, come, let's sit together!" ”

"Okay!" Pleasant Goat is the most informal, one moved two chairs from the side, and asked the waiter to add dishes and chopsticks, and a group of four people sat in order, but they were also happy.

The mobile phone rang, and Chen Ran's news came unexpectedly, "Yue'er, what are you doing?" Have you eaten? ”

"Well, I'm eating at the Northeast Restaurant of Songhua River with my dad, have you eaten yet?" I edited the text message and sent it over, but I haven't heard from Chen Ran for a long time, so I guess he may be busy, so I don't think about it anymore.

Pleasant Goat is a living treasure wherever he goes, and the witty words during the banquet continued, coaxing his father to laugh, and sighed how good it would be if there was one more daughter who could speak so well, which made this little girl even more arrogant, and pulled my father to recognize her as a goddaughter, and did not put me as a real girl in his eyes at all.

During the banquet, Manager Shen didn't talk much, mostly to add wine and cloth dishes for us, and I couldn't help but be moved when I saw him remove the skeleton of the big sauce that Pleasant Goat loved to eat before putting the meat in her bowl. He and the Pleasant Goat, still and moving, seem to be two people who can't be beaten, but they match seamlessly, how good, he can do his best to pamper her, she can also vividly sway her nature, whether in front of or after people, they can bloom love generously, they can express their joys, sorrows and sorrows without any worries, raise their eyebrows, and feel like this. And such an ordinary and ordinary love is as difficult for me as it is to climb to the sky.

sighed, looked at the phone again, and still did not reply to Chen Ran, and couldn't help but feel slightly stunned. Looking at the beauty of the two people beside me, the corners of my eyes were slightly sour, I picked up the teacup and silently took a sip of tea. But how can you control this?

"Mr. Chen!" In the hustle and bustle of the voice, I suddenly heard Manager Shen's high-pitched voice, I was shocked, raised my head suddenly, and saw Manager Shen with a surprised face, waving vigorously not far away. Following the prestige, at the door of the hotel where people come and go, the familiar figure, the long wind is clear, like coming from a dream, Xiao Xiao stands in front of the steps. My eyes moistened instantly, and I just looked at him from afar, motionless.

Chen Ran heard the voice, turned his head and saw us, but he seemed to be stunned, and when he hesitated, Manager Shen pulled the Pleasant Goat and got up to greet him, "Mr. Chen, are you also here for dinner today?" What a coincidence! ”

"Well, I suddenly wanted to eat dumplings, and I happened to see a Northeast restaurant here, so I came in and tried it." When Chen Ran spoke, his eyes seemed to sweep over as if he was nothing, facing my eyes, I looked at him with tears and a smile, bursts of warmth surging in my heart, everything was clear.

He came for me! I understand that our love can only bloom quietly in no one's place, and understand that it is difficult for each other to walk in front of the families of both sides normally, but he still came, with his love for me and thoughtfulness, with the thoughtfulness and cherishment given to me, all the way to the dust, wearing flowers and willows, and finally standing side by side with me in front of my father. In this way, he told me to fulfill me, even if no one knew about it, and he had a heart for me, and did his best to give me the rites and forms that ordinary love should have.

"Dare you alone? That's great, come and join us! Manager Shen pointed to our table and said, "Today we are the east, it just so happens that Li Yue'er and her father are also there, Mr. Chen, please give us a face!" ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, it's rare to have the opportunity to invite your master on weekdays, and I would like to ask you to enjoy the light no matter what" Pleasant Goat also helped on the side, "Shen Dazhi is your apprentice, this apprentice invites the master, no matter how righteous!" ”

Chen Ran smiled slightly, looked at us, nodded and said, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." He glanced back at Shen Dazhi holding the hand of the Pleasant Goat, and said meaningfully, "Yes, Dazhi, the action is very fast."

Only then did Manager Shen realize that he hurriedly let go of Pleasant Goat's hand, scratched his head and smiled, "This, this, Mr. Chen,......"

"What's so embarrassing about this, hurry up and hold it!" Chen Ran glanced at Pleasant Goat and said with a smile, "Xiao Yang should be angry for a while." ”

"No, Mr. Chen, we're not such stingy people!" Pleasant Goat is very generous, "We are now in a department, Shen Dazhi has concerns, and wants to tell everyone after a while, he is the manager, he has the final say!" ”

"Hey, hey, Xiaoxi, I, I didn't mean that," Manager Shen hurriedly argued.

Pleasant Goat playfully stuck out his tongue at him, Chen Ran smiled when he saw this, "Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you, let's go, let's go", after saying that, with a wave of his hand, the two hugged him and walked towards us. His father also recognized Chen Ran at this time, got up and stretched out his hand to him, "Mr. Chen, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

Chen Ran hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out his hands and shook them back, "Uncle, hello, I'm disturbing your dinner!" ”

"Mr. Chen is too polite, what kind of disturbance is this, it is our honor to have this opportunity to have lunch with Mr. Chen." After all, my father has been immersed in the system for a long time, and his politeness in front of people is not inferior, "I heard Yue'er say that you take a lot of care of him in the company, thank you!" Come, please be seated! ”

Chen Ran nodded at me, I seemed to have just come to my senses, and hurriedly stood up and echoed, "Ah, Mr. Chen, welcome, welcome, please take a seat!" He smiled slightly, and sat quietly next to his father, but it happened to be between me and my father, and to his left was me.

Manager Shen and Pleasant Goat also took their seats, but Chen Ran first poured wine for my father, got up and saluted, "Uncle, today you are the only elder, this glass of wine is to you first, thank you for your hard work and training, and send such excellent talents to our company!" Xiao Li works very well in the administration department, everyone recognizes her, I will do this glass of wine first as a respect! After speaking, without waiting for his father to answer, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Father is also generous, "Mr. Chen's words are serious, Yue'er is young and ignorant, there are still many places to learn, thank the company's leaders and colleagues for her cultivation and tolerance, I also dried this glass of wine!" As he spoke, he raised his glass.

Chen Ran blocked his father's hand and said warmly, "Uncle, you are free, you don't need to drink so much, just replace the bar with tea, your body is important." While turning his head to the others, "Today is the weekend, no matter what our position is, we only talk about the elder and the young, the elder is respected, the uncle here is the biggest, the ambition, we have to entertain the uncle well!" ”

"Well, okay, okay, Mr. Chen, I understand" Manager Shen heard Chen Ran's prompt, and quickly picked up the wine glass and said to his father, "Uncle, it's good for you to drink tea, this glass of wine is a tribute to you, I wish you good health and all the best!" ”

I didn't expect Chen Ran to be so easy-going, my father couldn't help but be stunned, and seemed to be a little emotional, "Mr. Chen, I often hear Yue'er say that you are approachable, and when I see you today, it really deserves your reputation, Yue'er can meet such a good leader as you, it is her blessing, I am really pleased to be a father, I will do this glass of wine no matter what, thank you!" Thank you! After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Chen Ran couldn't stop it, so he had to give up, "Uncle is a refreshing person, that's it, let's control the total amount, just this cup, you will replace the wine with tea, this Northeast cuisine with barley tea, although the taste is not as pure as the southern tea, but it is the best to eliminate food and relieve greasy, we Northeast people pay attention to drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, and it is perfect for this tea!" ”

"Oh? Mr. Chen, you are also from Northeast China? The father asked in surprise, "Yue'er, her mother is also from the Northeast." ”

"Really?!" Chen Ran didn't know that my mother was from the Northeast, and he was pleasantly surprised when he heard it at the moment, "I'm from Y Province, I don't know where my aunt is from?" ”

"L Province" I blurted out.

Chen Ran looked back at me, with a soft light in his eyes, "It turned out to be our neighboring province, but I didn't expect our two families to have such a relationship."

"This world is really a coincidence!" The father sighed, "It's a pity that her mother died early and couldn't wait for Yue'er to grow up, if she sees Yue'er like this now, she must be very happy......

"Dad!" I knew that my father was easily emotional when he drank, so he hurriedly intercepted him, "What are you doing with this?" ”

"Xiao Li, it's okay, my uncle is also touching the scene," Chen Ran said gently, "We shouldn't be restrained today, it's good to talk homely." ”

"Yes, Yue'er, you just let your uncle say it" Pleasant Goat also echoed, "Uncle didn't treat us as outsiders, so he would say these heart-wrenching words, right, uncle?!" We, as juniors, would love to hear our uncle's memories of the bittersweet ones! Her voice was loud and clear, and her father smiled.

"Yue'er, Xiao Yang's mouth really makes me happy! You learn more from others! My father pointed at me and smiled, turned his head and said to Chen Ran with emotion, "If you want to say that Yue'er, this girl, obedient, self-reliant, didn't let me worry much since I was a child, she relied on her own to study and work, and her mother was also very pleased to think about it in the spirit of heaven......" Taking a sip of tea, my father continued, "If the only thing I don't worry about now is this girl, and the boss is not small, but the personal problems have not yet been settled, you said that we are parents, these children have grown up, and we are also old, how can we be by their side for a lifetime?" I hope that they can have a good home and get married as soon as possible, and we will be relieved......" said and nodded my head, "This girl, I am not in a hurry at all, alas, Mr. Chen, you are her leader, she doesn't listen to my words, she will definitely listen to your words, don't mind if I say this, although young people's work is important, but personal lifelong events cannot be delayed, you say yes?" Help me persuade her."

When I heard this, my brows couldn't help frowning, and I blurted out, "Dad! Did you drink too much? Glancing at Chen Ran, he was meeting his gaze, and his heart was anxious, "I don't want to think about that now!" ”

"You're a girl, you're almost 25 years old, and you don't think about lifelong events, so when are you going to think about it?!" The father seemed a little angry, "Your mother is your age, and she is already married to me!" He turned his head and said to Chen Ran, "Mr. Chen, take a look, look at it, this girl ,...... film."

Chen Ran took a sip of tea, but he smiled and did not speak, his face was not different, but he was noncommittal to his father's words.

I don't know how this came to be in a hurry, but I think it's embarrassing and embarrassing at the moment. My father drank a few more glasses happily today, and he was uninhibited, who knew that I was sitting on pins and needles at this time.

"Uncle is right!" Pleasant Goat looked at my father, then at me, and hurriedly jumped out of the round and said, "Yue'er, I also think that you are short of men now!" ”

The Pleasant Goat's mouth was unobstructed, I couldn't help frowning, only to hear Manager Shen cough lightly, and touch the Pleasant Goat with his elbow, but the latter rolled his eyes, "Why are you touching me?!" If you touch me, I'll say it too! I'm not talking roughly! He turned to my father and said, "Uncle, I agree with you!" This Yue'er, I know her best in the company, she, everything is good, it's the same, everything is held in my heart, everything is carried by myself, no matter how hard it is, I don't snort, alas! Although this is her own strength, but we are friends, and it is really distressing to watch from the side! Let's take the last car accident and the robbery as an example, it's been a long time since I was a friend to know that she was all alone when she was looking for someone to call the police! Alas! I said at the time, if Yue'er has a boyfriend, why do you work so hard and do everything yourself!? ”

"Pleasant goat, you ......" I was so anxious that I made eye contact with her, my father didn't know about my car accident and robbery, and saying it at this moment didn't add fuel to the fire.

"What?! Yue'er," Sure enough, her father's eyes widened in surprise, "You had a car accident and were robbed?!" When was this? Why didn't you tell me at all?! ”

Hearing my father's words, Pleasant Goat didn't know how to answer for a while, but I was stunned at the moment, I hurriedly took over the conversation, "Dad, it's already over, and I haven't been hurt by anything, a little thing, so as not to worry about it, I didn't tell you"

"Uncle, Xiao Li didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would be worried, don't blame her." Chen Ran comforted, "It's just a small vehicle scratch, and the person is fine." You don't have to worry. ”

Seeing this, Pleasant Goat immediately continued, "Yes, yes, uncle, don't you see Yue'er in front of you!" She's fine, don't worry, alas, blame me for being too talkative, blame me for being too talkative. He slapped his mouth lightly.

"Xiao Yang, uncle knows that you are an ancient heart, a fast talker, how can I blame you!" Father sighed, "You're right, Yue'er, this kid is too self-reliant, there is no one to share around, everything is held in my heart, everything is carried by myself, I, as a father, in addition to worrying, is even more distressed!" ”

Although my father said a lot after drinking, I understood that he was moved by his true feelings, "pity the hearts of parents in the world", listening to my father's heartfelt words, I couldn't help but feel sad. There is no one to share around, yes, I didn't have it before; But now I have it, this person is sitting next to me now, but I can't say anything, I still have to hold everything in my heart, or I have to bear all the ups and downs by myself, this may be my fate, since I was a child, my family relationship has been thin, and now love is so fateless. Quietly glanced at Chen Ran beside him, his face was calm, he looked at the wine glass on the table steadily, as if thoughtful, his expression could not be seen clearly in the deep eyebrows, his heart was sour, and warm tears overflowed, I lowered my head and pretended to drink saliva to cover it.

"Don't worry, uncle!" Pleasant Goat's eyes seemed to light up, as if he suddenly remembered something, and happily said to my father, "It's not easy to find someone to take care of Yue'er!" I mentioned it to Yue'er last time, Shen Dazhi grabbed a lot of young talents among his graduate students, and waited for Yue'er to open her golden mouth to summon her! As he spoke, he turned to Manager Shen and said, "Yes, Shen Dazhi?!" ”

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxi told me, it depends on what Xiao Li means." Manager Shen nodded vigorously.

Pleasant Goat approached my father and smiled, "Uncle, look, why don't I introduce a few to Yue'er?" ”

"That's a good idea!" As soon as my father heard Pleasant Goat's words, he immediately became interested, "Xiao Yang, it's hard for you to have this heart!" Thank you, uncle! You don't know, uncle, I've always wanted to give this girl Zhang Luo, every time she finds a reason to prevaricate the past, last New Year's Day I finally caught her out to see one, but she still doesn't look down on people. Alas! She is usually away from home, and my uncle and I can't reach it, so it happens that you are by your side to help her keep an eye on it, which is simply a good thing that I can't ask for! Don't worry, uncle! When it's done, Uncle will thank you again! ”

"Howler!" Hearing his father's entrustment, Pleasant Goat was even more proud, "Uncle, just wait for my good news!" ”

"Pleasant Goat!" Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more outrageously, I secretly beat a drum in my heart, and hurriedly stopped, "Don't make trouble for me!" ”

"Yue'er, don't make trouble for us!" My father interrupted me, "When the time comes, you have to go to meet someone, you have to go to me obediently, don't make excuses to shirk, do you hear?!" Fu turned his head to Pleasant Goat and said, "Come, Xiao Yang, uncle will tell you the basic requirements, let's not look at family background, don't look at money, the important thing is to look at people, to be down-to-earth, to live, and the most important thing is to be good to Yue'er......"

I can't really listen to the words of my father and the pleasant goat, and I don't want to listen to it anymore, I quietly glanced at Chen Ran beside me, his eyes just swept over, like a smile or a smile, sadness and joy, as if hidden countless waves, but without saying a word, and then retracted his gaze, only faintly shaking the residue in the cup, after a long time, he picked up the wine bottle in his hand, filled the huge wine glass in front of him, sighed, closed his eyes, raised his head and poured the whole glass of wine into his mouth.

I saw him take out his mobile phone, as if he was writing something with difficulty, and after a while, my message rang, and when I opened it, Chen Ran's text message was only one sentence - Yue'er, you tell me, what should I do to protect you?
