The first time, I picked up an "abandoned dog" and went home......
Xiong Xiaobai, who was preparing to go out, carefully trimmed her eyebrows with an eyebrow trimmer, and the sudden ringing of someone's exclusive phone made her shiver, and the eyebrow knife in her hand lost its crosshairs, and the good eyebrows were removed with a knife.
Xiong Xiaobai stared blankly at the half-eyebrow in the mirror, and after a long while, he flattened his mouth, and tears rolled in his eyes in distress.
If it weren't for the constant ringing of her phone behind her, reminding her that there was something more important than her eyebrows, she would have burst into tears.
Unable to remember her unexpectedly dead eyebrows, Xiong Xiaobai turned her head like a robot with rusty joints on all her joints, looking at the mobile phone that was ringing wildly, she clearly felt a chill to her bones, mixed with a fierce murderous aura rushing towards her.
Standing up slowly, it seemed that he had used all his courage to move to the table, and the two words that Xiong Xiaobai was creepy flashed on the screen of his mobile phone - "matchmaker".
The mobile phone rang three or four times, but Xiong Xiaobai never answered because of his exhaustion of courage.
After a minute, the ringing finally stopped, and Xiong Xiaobai did not feel relaxed or relieved. The daughter who has been a "matchmaker" for 29 years already knows her mother's personality well, and knows that she will never give up so easily.
Sure enough, it was quiet for only half a minute, and a text message came, and Xiong Xiaobai knew that it must be an ultimatum from his mother.
Open the text message, and a line of words is very lethal in front of you: If you don't answer the phone, you will die! Xiong Xiaobai's mother immediately gritted her teeth in her mind, which couldn't help but make her break out in a cold sweat.
The mobile phone rang again, and Xiong Xiaobai trembled and pressed the answer button.
Although he knew that his mother couldn't see it, he also wanted to greet her with a smile on his face. Before the flattering greeting could be exported, five words were thrown over the phone: "Go on a blind date tomorrow!" ”
Xiong Xiaobai knew that it would be like this, if it wasn't for the blind date, Mama Xiong wouldn't have called her. Xiong Xiaobai even once suspected that every word he heard from his mother's mouth in his life would carry two sacred words, that is: blind date!
29 years old may be an embarrassing age for the average unmarried domestic young woman, but for Xiong Xiaobai, this is nothing at all, because she feels that her psychological age is only 20 years old, at most...... He was 22 years old. The most important thing is that she has never been too lazy to do any maintenance, and she can't see the traces of the so-called years on her face at all, let alone feel what kind of pig-killing knife the years are. This is not her boasting, but as an online novelist, when she had to contact strangers in order to find material for writing novels, she was often recognized by those people as a college student, and even a few times as a high school student.
Thinking of this, Xiong Xiaobai couldn't help but look at the mirror with a very proud expression, but that pride disappeared the moment she saw herself in the mirror, and she saw her missing half of her right eyebrow, which made her face twitch twice unconsciously, and then turned her head sideways, resisting the urge to smash the mirror in her heart.
"Why don't you make a sound? I warn you, you won't be able to escape tomorrow's blind date! Mama Bear yelled from the other side of the phone in a very imposing tone.
"Alright, I got it. You say, time, place, I'll go! Xiong Xiaobai knew that in front of her mother, she had no right to refuse, so she could only be at her mercy. This is her experience, and going against her own mother will definitely not end well! It's just that, although he was forced to do so, Xiong Xiaobai couldn't help but resist a little in his heart.
"Okay, I'll call you later to tell you the time and place of the blind date." Xiong's mother seems to be very satisfied with Xiong Xiaobai's obedient cooperation this time.
"Just text, I...... I'm going to take a shower...... ......" Xiong Xiaobai really couldn't bear to exchange words with her mother again in such a frustrated mood, and she knew that after the next phone call was connected, her mother would definitely take the trouble to say the same thing to her again.
Finally survived Mama Xiong's advice and ended the call with her, Xiong Xiaobai looked at himself in the mirror again.
It's hard to go out once, but do you want to see people like this?
Although Xiong Xiaobai is used to being unkempt at home, if she wants to go out to meet people, from makeup to choosing clothes, she has to spend at least two hours at a time to clean up and dress herself. This time it was the same, even if she didn't go out for a long time, it was just to go to the supermarket less than ten minutes away from her home to replenish the refrigerator with only air left at home to replenish some necessary food.
Xiong Xiaobai sighed, lazily walked to the sofa and sat down, then adjusted his posture and lay on the soft sofa.
"Hmm......" Xiong Xiaobai let out a low groan, as if he was enjoying himself. She couldn't help but sigh again that the most correct decision she had made in the past four years was to buy this sofa, and every time she lay on it, she always felt more comfortable than the bed.
Well...... Don't go out. Xiong Xiaobai thought this in her heart, but after three seconds, she immediately dispelled this thought, because her stomach was reminding her that she was hungry.
Reluctantly, he got up from the couch and rummaged through the cabinets to find a hat. In front of the mirror, Xiong Xiaobai carefully patched up the missing eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and then blocked it with a hat, which was almost invisible. Fortunately, the weather has cooled down in November, so it's not surprising to go out even with a hat. Moreover, it is already past eight o'clock in the evening, and no one should pay too much attention to her.
Xiong Xiaobai finally nodded at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, and then went out beautifully.
After coming out of the house, Xiong Xiaobai did not go straight to the supermarket, she seemed to be walking, walking slowly, while secretly observing the crowd coming and going, which is one of Xiong Xiaobai's hobbies.
Everyone has things in their hearts that they don't want others to know, Xiong Xiaobai is really curious, those who pass by themselves, what kind of secret is hidden in their hearts.
A melancholy melody, accompanied by an affectionate male voice, came out of a small shop on the side of the street, "TonightIWannaCry". Xiong Xiaobai stopped, took out a lollipop and put it in her mouth, chose a place with relatively low light, and stood there with her back against the window, looking as if she was waiting for someone, but in fact it was to make it more convenient for her to observe pedestrians.
Music is a good medium, it can always easily touch the most vulnerable places in the heart, a familiar melody will evoke a memory, and it will also remind people of someone they want to forget or have forgotten.
Keith Urban captures the lyrics of "TonightIWannaCry": "It takes me to get better after a lot of pain, but I'll never forget you, if I still run away like this." Because I've never been the kind of person to show my feelings, I think that being strong means not getting emotionally out of control, but my drunkenness is just right enough for me to drive away the pain, and it will fade away with my self-esteem, and it will fall like rain, and from my eyes, I want to cry tonight......"
Xiong Xiaobai turned the lollipop in her mouth, and her gaze moved from one person's face to another's, capturing everyone's expressions.
Suddenly, Xiong Xiaobai sniffed hard, and she, who had always been very sensitive to smells, smelled a faint smell of men's perfume. Clear, elegant, exuding nobility and confidence. She looked around curiously for the source of this smell, because in the place where she lived, it was rare for such a man of good taste to have the opportunity to meet.
A man stood quietly in front of a shop window a little farther away from her, because of the location and light, Xiong Xiaobai couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he didn't know what was in the window that made him look so intent.
However, through the dizzying halo, she saw that the corners of his eyes shone brighter than diamonds.
For some reason, Xiong Xiaobai suddenly had a feeling of heartache, and she asked softly in her heart: You...... Are you crying? Is it because of this song that reminds you of someone you will never forget?
Although he knew that it was rude to stare at others like this, Xiong Xiaobai's gaze was not under his control at all, and there was no way to take it off the man at all. It wasn't until she was hit by a few children frolicking in the street that she came to her senses, and when she looked at the man after accepting the apologies from the children, she realized that he was gone.
The previous song had already ended, and the man had long since disappeared, but Xiong Xiaobai still stood in place for a long time before reluctantly walking towards the supermarket.
The shopping cart in the supermarket was full of instant noodles, ham, bread, goat milk powder and quick-frozen semi-finished pizza, until Xiong Xiaobai calculated that the maximum carrying capacity of his hands was likely to be overloaded.
After paying, Xiong Xiaobai carried four large bags of food and walked home with difficulty, and every step she couldn't wait for the next step she took was to walk into her door.
It seems that after walking 108,000 miles, the residential building where I live is finally close at hand. Xiong Xiaobai perked up, lifted the plastic bag that strangled his fingers painfully, and sped up the pace of moving forward. But in this excitement, she did not pay attention to her feet, an unknown object tripped her up, and she made a very intimate contact with the ground.
"It hurts-" Xiong Xiaobai couldn't help but cry out in pain, and the news about a female celebrity's breast fraud that she saw this morning flashed unconsciously in her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Fortunately, my breasts are not fake, otherwise they would have exploded...... Fortunately, I have a flat-chested body that saves fabric for the country, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing......
Getting up from the ground, Xiong Xiaobai looked back at the object that had tripped over him. Through the dim moonlight, Xiong Xiaobai could see that it was a human form.
Dead ——! These two words were the first words that flashed out of Xiong Xiaobai's mind. Then, a long-planned murder and abandonment of the corpse gradually took shape in her mind. Just when Xiong Xiaobai, who prefers to write suspense novels, was immersed in the murder plot he imagined in his head, he cheated the corpse! The object, which had already been identified as a corpse by Xiong Xiaobai, suddenly let out a groan.
The dead didn't scare Xiong Xiaobai, but "coming back from the dead" really scared her. It took her a while to realize that the man wasn't dead at all.
Slowly leaning towards the "corpse", before he got close, Xiong Xiaobai could already smell the smell of alcohol on that person's body. She frowned involuntarily, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol always made her shy away.
Only this time, Xiong Xiaobai not only did not leave, but got a little closer. Because in the disgusting smell of wine, she smelled a familiar perfume. She was almost certain that the man who had tripped herself up was the man with whom she had just listened to "TonightIWannaCry" and then suddenly disappeared.
From the first time I met him in front of the shop window, to when I came out of the supermarket to buy something, it should have been less than an hour. Who exactly? Can he hear that song and miss getting himself drunk to the point of unconsciousness in just an hour?
Xiong Xiaobai shook his head slowly, as if he was denying his idea.
This man ...... In his current state, he definitely didn't get drunk just now...... Or...... He was drunk before he listened to that song, and then, the song became the catalyst that brought him to tears......
Maybe so? Xiong Xiaobai ended his cranky thoughts, no matter what, he should call the police first and leave everything to the police uncle to deal with.
But......
After touching all over her body, Xiong Xiaobai realized that she didn't bring her mobile phone out, probably because of the few phone calls and threatening text messages from her mother just now, which made her subconsciously want to get as far away from that mobile phone as possible.
Xiong Xiaobai looked around, but couldn't see anyone who could help her, and she couldn't help but complain a little in her heart: Do people in this community not like going out like me?
Just when Xiong Xiaobai was at a loss, the man opened his eyes in a daze, his blurred eyes were filled with sadness, he seemed to sense Xiong Xiaobai's existence, so he looked at her, trying to see clearly. After a long while, he said vaguely, "Where have you been all these years...... I miss you so much...... No...... Leave me again......"
Although he didn't know who this man saw himself, his eyes made Xiong Xiaobai feel familiar.
This...... This look ...... Grievance...... Helpless...... Poor ...... It seems like...... It's like...... The look that only an abandoned puppy can have...... That's right, it's "abandoned dogs"! Xiong Xiaobai nodded vigorously, feeling that the two words he thought of were too appropriate.
"Abandon the dog" fell asleep again after saying those few words, leaving all the problems to Xiong Xiaobai to solve alone.
She didn't want to be nosy, and she didn't want to bring a stranger home, but her reason told her that she couldn't leave this person here like this. The night in the late autumn season is already very cold, and if she doesn't come to the rescue, then there will really be reports of dead people on the news tomorrow morning.
And...... Xiong Xiaobai looked at the "abandoned dog", although it was really unwise for her to bring a strange man home as a single person, but ...... Intuition told her that the man ...... Probably not a bad guy.
Thinking of this, Xiong Xiaobai decided to put the food bag into the elevator first, and then turn back to carry the "abandoned dog" who was not awake.
Although on the way back to pick up the "abandoned dog", Xiong Xiaobai prayed thousands of times that the "abandoned dog" had woken up, and then ran away by himself. But it backfired, and when she walked back, the "abandoned dog" was still lying there motionless. It seems that she is destined to take this "abandoned dog" home.
After stumbling along the way, Xiong Xiaobai finally brought the food and the "abandoned dog" home.
When he returned home, he didn't care about his overdrawn physical strength, and the first thing Xiong Xiaobai did was to check whether the "abandoned dog" was still alive, because in the process of transporting, the head, arms, knees and other parts of the "abandoned dog" collided on the wall, door, and ground.
If she could, Xiong Xiaobai really wanted to leave the "abandoned dog" at the door and sleep for the night, because she no longer had the strength to carry him to the sofa. But she was worried that if she really did this, then she might not know that this "abandoned dog" would really die in her hands. So, I had to drag and drag, and finally got the "abandoned dog" on the sofa.
Xiong Xiaobai brought a wet towel to wipe the "abandoned dog" clean.
Rubbing and rubbing, Xiong Xiaobai's movements gradually slowed down......
Hey, what does this "abandoned dog" look like...... Xiong Xiaobai stood up, squinted his eyes, and looked at the "abandoned dog" repeatedly and carefully......
Well...... Not bad...... Tall enough...... Not bad indeed...... looks comparable to the male protagonists of all idol dramas. Such a super perfect man really meets the standard of an ideal son-in-law in his mother's mind.
Xiong Xiaobai thought of a clever plan to get rid of his mother's blind date bombardment, which was to let this "abandoned dog" pretend to be his boyfriend and use him to explain to his mother, so that he didn't have to go on a blind date again.
But...... If she learns that she has a boyfriend, her mother will definitely try her best to force marriage, although this is also a very troublesome thing, but at least it can solve the urgent need.
As for the future...... Just wait until it can't drag on anymore, just find an excuse to break up.
Xiong Xiaobai made up her mind, she couldn't help laughing, she knelt in front of the sofa, and while continuing to wipe the face of the "abandoned dog", she whispered in his ear: "Abandon the dog, abandon the dog, since I rescued you, you can pretend to be my boyfriend and meet my mother." ”
