As the sky gets late, the city is lit up, and with the crowds of people coming and going, it looks very lively.

In a high-end western restaurant in the center of the city, the sound of the piano wafted past the waiter's side and drilled into Qingci's ears, and the peaceful sound of the piano made people's hearts unusually peaceful.

"Why do you have to choose this restaurant? It's so expensive, half of the money is paid to these service staff and rent, how cost-effective, the western restaurant downstairs of our company, the steak is as delicious, and often engages in activities, when it is cheap, a black pepper steak is only 99 yuan, you see here, a vegetable salad costs 50, this is simply violence. ”

The man sitting across from him spoke, pouting and looking at the tastefully decorated restaurant with disgust.

The calm mood just now was disturbed by the man's words, and maintaining a calm complexion, Qing Ci took a sip of the coffee on the table.

The man didn't notice the strangeness of Qing Ci, and said to himself: "You don't have a job, and you don't have a stable income, I know this, I can understand what it's like to sit here and experience a rich person, but I want to say, if we get married, you have to change your mind, yes, I can make money, but I can't stand this loser's flower." ”

A neatly dressed waiter came to the beat of the piano and served a salad to the two of them.

After the waiter left, the man stared at the salad and pouted: "Look, it's just a little vegetable, hey!" Don't talk about the dishes, anyway, I ordered everything, let's talk about the two of us, I heard my aunt say, you are 29 years old this year? ”

Qing Ci withdrew his gaze from the coffee cup and nodded and smiled politely at the man.

"Oops." The man sighed as if he was very sorry, "Then you are really not young at this age, if you get married, you have to have a child quickly, otherwise the child born by an elderly woman is not smart!" Well...... I heard, you haven't been in a relationship? ”

Qing Ci tilted his cheeks on his head with one hand, stared at the man opposite with an elegant and lazy attitude, and did not let go of any expression on his face, hearing his question, Qing Ci responded with a smile: "No." ”

If she remembers correctly, this should be her 103rd blind date, and the question of whether she has ever been in love has also been asked eighty or ninety times, and whenever she replies that she has not, the first reaction of those men is to ask her why?

When questioning, it is often accompanied by a look like a monster, without any concealment.

When they asked her this, they may have wondered if this woman was sick. Otherwise, how could he be twenty-nine years old and never be in love?

Qing Ci stared at the slightly chubby man in front of her who was wearing a suit and combing his hair meticulously, she thought that he would have the same expression as those men before, but she didn't expect that his eyes were not surprised but delighted.

The fat on the man's excited face was trembling, and his words were a little stammering: "That'...... That...... Then you're still there, right? ”

Qing Ci frowned, and suddenly had a huge disgust for the man in front of her, so much so that she didn't even bother to keep a polite smile, she sat up straight and asked, "Is this important?" ”

"Of course it's important." The man said as a matter of course, "Of course women have to keep their chastity for their husbands, I see that this dress on your body is quite short, and your thighs are exposed so much, don't wear it in the future, otherwise people will think you are not serious." ”

Talking to her in a master-like tone when they meet for the first time, even if it is really two people in the husband and wife, they should respect the other party and not control it by their own will, right?

Qing Ci took a deep breath and began to feel impatient, she had seen so many men on a blind date, and naturally she was a little crooked, but she still felt that the one in front of her could be regarded as a shocking and strange flower.

The man still didn't notice Qing Ci's emotions, and said to himself: "Many young girls nowadays, always messing around with men, don't think about their future husbands at all, although you are older, but you are still pure, let me tell you, I have a house in the suburbs, the loan has been almost repaid, and the car loan has been paid off after the New Year, you don't have to worry about anything when you get married, you can be a full-time wife with peace of mind, and after a while, I will bring my parents to you to take care of them at home, um...... It's not good, it's too expensive to care for the elderly in this place, and when you have a child, the child still has to go to kindergarten...... Kindergartens in this place are so expensive...... It's no ...... than back home."

Regardless of whether Qing Ci wanted to hear it or not, the man kept babbling, and even the waiter didn't interrupt him when he served the food, Qing Ci pushed the spaghetti with meat sauce he ordered to him, and the man raised his head and said "oh" twice, and then continued to mumble.

Qing Ci ordered a filet mignon, a traveler once strongly recommended this filet mignon here, and exaggerated the comparison of this filet mignon to the Olympic champion in the steak world, which is why she specially booked this restaurant.

The sound of the man's muttering squeezed out, and the sound of the piano constantly encroached on Qingci's hearing.

“…… Running a family depends on women, don't spend money to keep the ingots and not slip away, let me tell you, I have a vegetable market, the westernmost vegetable shop has the cheapest dishes, and you can go to their house to buy vegetables when you buy vegetables in the future......"

Could it be that this man thought that she was too old to get married, so he was very sure that she would nod and agree to marry him, so he talked so much?

Even if she has a good culture, she can't stand it, Qingci decided to interrupt the man's self-talk, she put down the knife and fork with both hands, and the sound that made it alarmed the man.

The man looked up at her blankly.

Qing Ci showed a charming smile: "Did I say I wanted to marry you?" ”

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, he swallowed the food in his mouth hard, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's literal, sir, we're just meeting for the first time, don't you think it's ridiculous that you're talking to me so much?"

Qing Ci still maintained a bright smile, but the man was angry, he slammed his fork the table, accidentally knocking over the spaghetti in front of him, causing a panic.

The waiter standing next to him saw it and was about to come to help, but was stopped by the man who raised his hand, he stood in front of the dining table, supported the table with both hands and said condescendingly to Qing Ci: "I don't understand, what do you mean by this?" You came to see me from that small place in Y City, didn't you just want to be nice to me? I promised you and told me this, are you sick? ”

Why is she to blame? Qing Ci forcibly held back the anger in his heart and sneered.

The man refused to stop, and said with his lips closed: "I have a house and a car, and I can earn 178,000 a month, and 20,000 yuan, where can you find such a good one?" You still pick, you don't want to marry me, I don't want to be with you, you are still picky when you are 30, you can't marry in this life, the old leftover girl still learns others to pretend to be a virgin, don't be kidding, how can you be a virgin at this age? Auntie said that you have a suite in Y City, the owner bought it for you, you can't deceive people, although Y City is not big, the house price is six or seven thousand, right? Can you, a woman with no job, buy a house? Scold...... I don't believe in ghosts, I don't dislike you, it's just that you still ......"

Seeing that what the man said was getting more and more ugly, and Qing Ci was furious when she heard it, she never thought that she would encounter such a strange thing, no matter how indiscriminately she belittled others according to her mood, just to maintain her poor self-esteem.

Qingci wanted to scold, but she still held back, she remembered what Su Bo had told her: never try to convince the male toad swan that it is beautiful, in its eyes, only the female toad is the most beautiful.

Qing Ci picked up the bag beside him and got up to leave.

Seeing her leave, the man immediately chased after her: "Wait, don't go, you haven't paid yet!" ”

When Qing Ci was about to walk to the bar, the man finally caught up, and he said, "We didn't make it, this meal has to be AA." ”

Qing Ci looked back, glanced at the man funny and angry, and the waitress who followed immediately took out the bill.

The front desk checked the bill and said politely, "Hello, a total of seven hundred and sixty-five." ”

"Seven hundred and sixty-five, then we alone are three hundred...... Three hundred and thirty ...... Seventeen pieces five. "When the bill came out, the man began to divide it by two to calculate how much a person should share.

Qing Ci sighed helplessly, took out his mobile phone impatiently, opened Alipay and scanned the QR code at the front desk, paid the full amount directly, and then left without looking back.

When Qing Ci walked quickly to the elevator, the elevator door just opened, and Qing Ci entered the elevator.

The man behind him raised his hand to stop her, but the waitress next to her reminded: "Sir, you still have desserts on the table, do you want to take them away?" ”

"Huh? Oh oh, to ......."

The elevator door slowly closed, obscuring the man's figure, and Qing Ci leaned against the elevator and let out a long sigh.

This is a viewing elevator, Qing Ci looked at the bustling big S city outside, under this bright lights, how many people are living? She doesn't like big cities, in large part because she hates the excessive bustle.

Too many people's eyes have been blinded by this appearance of prosperity and have lost themselves ever since.

If she had to come here to discuss the publication of the novel with the publishing house, she would not have come here at all, let alone to meet that strange man.
