Chapter 23: It Was Her
I deliberately put on the new clothes I bought a few days ago, looked in the mirror, and cut my hair a few times. I didn't dress up to please the other person, I was just polite. When it comes to blind dates, even if you know that there is no result, you can't be sloppy to meet, which seems to be disrespectful to the other party and damages your personal image.
Night not night café.
I found an empty table by the window and ordered a latte. I've never drunk this stuff, I know it's bitter, and I want a cup just for the sake of filling, and I can't let the other person see that I'm rustic, stupid, poor, and sour, although I admit that there is a little bit of it.
That's when I remembered that I had talked so much to the other party on the phone, and I didn't know what her name was. You can see how insincere I am, and I don't even want to know who the other party is.
Shaking his head secretly. It doesn't matter, it's just a process. If she hadn't commanded our army, I wouldn't have come here!
I said I would meet at 3 p.m., but 5 minutes have passed, and the woman hasn't arrived yet. For people who are not punctual, the character is not much stronger, and I have added a point of disgust to my heart.
I was about to get up and leave when someone called me behind me.
"Chen Lingyu, you don't look good at the construction site, but you came here to drink coffee."
Bai Luoxue walked over, and a white T-shirt and denim skirt appeared in front of me, and I was embarrassed to see her full of laughter.
"Ahh Assistant Bai is you! I didn't mean to leave my job, a friend made an appointment to meet here, I also just arrived, and it didn't take too long, she came and said a word and left. ”
"Oh? Friend? Male or female? ”
"Female."
"Girlfriend?"
"No, no, no!" I denied it again and again. "It's a friend of a classmate, she went to the county to do something, and because of the face of her classmates, she met and got to know each other."
"Oh......"
Bai Luoxue showed a look of sudden realization, and her voice was very long. Looking at her expression, my heart was sour. Don't guess what a girl thinks, I'm afraid she has already guessed what I mean, and I'm worried about being ridiculed by her.
Bai Luoxue sat down across from me, as if he didn't realize that the place was reserved for someone else.
"Is it the person who went home on a blind date two days ago? People have found the county seat. Hee-hee! Congratulations! It really made Manager Yao right. Hee-hee! ”
"You can't talk nonsense, I haven't seen anyone, how can I say it's the object? Impossible! ”
Although I like to talk to Bai Luoxue more, I can't wait for her to leave on this occasion. If the other party comes and finds me sitting with a beautiful woman, he will inevitably be defeated. I am not willing to accept such an unprovoked disaster.
"Words can't say death, anything is possible. If you have the mentality of rejecting people for thousands of miles, at least it means that you are insincere. If buying and selling is not benevolent, there is still an attitude that blind date is not good. ”
I spread my hands out, looking helpless, "I have the attitude!" Said that I came to meet, said that it was 3:00, and it had been 10 minutes, what did it mean? The other party is playing tricks on me! If not, why not give us a call and explain why you're late? It's because she's not sincere! ”
Instead, I was calm. It's best if the other party doesn't show up, so as not to cause unpleasantness, this matter is over.
The corners of Bai Luoxue's mouth lifted lightly, tilting her head to watch me perform. I was about to get up and leave my seat, but seeing how attractive she was, I changed my mind.
"Drink something?"
I already have coffee, but it's still empty in front of her, and if I want to talk to her more, a cup of coffee is the best choice.
"All the same, latte."
"Sugared?"
"Bitter coffee is more flavorful."
A faint smile still crossed her lips.
The waiter brought coffee.
Pinching the spoon lightly, she stirred it gently, feeling the faint aroma of the coffee.
"You didn't wait for people to arrive, but you drank coffee with me, and you were seen, what do you explain?"
She was still smiling.
"Explain? What to explain? I'm talking to the leader, so it's okay to say so! You don't need to worry about this, you won't come here after this point. I said I wouldn't come, she preferred me to come, I came, but I was tricked. ”
"She doesn't call you, why don't you just give a call and ask? Is there something wrong with the road? Dating a girl and you don't worry about her safety? It's not about love, but it's about character. ”
Bai Luoxue said that it was so serious that even if I didn't want to call, I had to fight.
I had no choice but to dial the phone number, and a burst of music came, but the other party didn't answer.
Bai Luoxue took out her mobile phone from her bag, her mobile phone was ringing, put the mobile phone on the desktop, and the caller's name showed "Chen Lingyu"!
How will it be my number?
I was very surprised.
The mobile phone number I dialed was just an 11-digit number, with no notes. After two years on the construction site, I didn't know Bai Luoxue's phone number. I, a small worker, have no intersection with this assistant manager, let alone business contacts.
Bai Luoxue pressed the answer button, and the phone ringtone stopped.
"Is that you?"
At this time, I finally understood that the blind date with me was Bai Luoxue!
Happy, regretful, annoyed, ashamed, mixed tastes, and the intestines are all repentant! blame yourself for being too arbitrary, and take everything for granted. If I had listened to my mother's words at the time and called early, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed now.
My face was feverish and fine beads of sweat were forming on my forehead.
"It's me, can't you?"
Bai Luoxue didn't laugh at my embarrassment, took out the tissue from her bag and handed it to me gently.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and felt my face get hotter. If there is a mirror in front of you, it must be a blushing face.
I finally understood why she made a tone on the phone, because I was afraid that if I heard that it was her, her play would not be able to continue. I guess she already knew who I was the moment the phone was connected.
From beginning to end, I played the role of a clown.
The smile on Bai Luoxue's face was even stronger, she raised her arms to support her cheeks, and stared at me intently, she was looking at my embarrassment.
I buried my head deep in my arms, it was so humiliating! usually treats others as goddesses, and that love is hidden in the bottom of my heart, but I didn't expect to be stupid and stupid to direct and act in such a scene.
"Shy men are the kindest, especially handsome guys, and they are more popular with girls."
What does she mean?
"I don't want you to laugh at people like that. This man was thrown before the leader. Coffee you drink, I have to go back to the construction site to inspect it. ”
I didn't raise my head, I got up and left, but I was pulled by Bai Luoxue.
"If you are a man, you have to face it bravely, have courage and responsibility, it has nothing to do with success or failure, it has nothing to do with winning or losing, it is only about character."
This is what she said on the phone, and of course I understood what she meant, so I simply sat down and didn't leave.
"Even if there is no blind date, don't you want to have a cup of coffee with me?"
Bai Luoxue raised her eyebrows, as if she was asking for my opinion, but she couldn't refute it at all.
"It's an honor!"
