Volume 1: The Girl and the White Dragon Chapter 11: A Man's Choice

"Then again, Zhu Ying, don't you have a boyfriend?"

I shouted my intern's name and tried to distract myself from the conversation.

"Huh? no....."

My question was a bit sensitive, and my intern blushed when she heard it.

"You're supposed to be pretty popular in school, right?

"It's okay, mainly because I'm a little weird..."

"Really, what's a strange way?"

"My friends either love to learn or play games, and of course more people like both. ”

"Well, that's normal, but what about you?"

"I used to be the same as them, but then I found out that I was curious about how those popular games were made. ”

"So you learned to code? And then you came to us?"

It's really rare, no wonder a girl came to us well.

"Hmm. ”

"But our current working group is engaged in the functional development of social software, aren't you a little disappointed when you come in?"

"At first it was a little, but then it wasn't. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"Uh, uh... Because everyone was very nice to me, they took good care of me, and I learned a lot, especially when I met ......."

The intern's voice became quieter and quieter, and of course I didn't need to explore the other person's emotional privacy.

"Ha, if you're looking for a partner in the future... In addition to feeling like you, make sure that the two of you are the right fit. ”

When it comes to relationship problems, I'm also a person from the past, and the intern girl looks like she is very easy to be bullied, and I also plan to talk about my understanding and opinions.

"In particular, it is necessary to consider the object of marriage, which is a major event related to the second half of life, and must be cautious. The husband and wife are like delicate gears, once they don't match each other, they will still be strong together, but there will be very serious consequences. ”

"Uh... I'll remember. ”

The intern listened very attentively, and then she noticed the wine glass that had been empty next to me.

"Brother Lu, there is wine here, don't you drink it?"

With that, she took the bottle opener and the wine bottle, and pried the mouth of the bottle open.

"Uh? I don't... Forget it! I'll have a drink. ”

It's rare to be treated by a girl.,I'll let it go a little bit......

Alcohol isn't a good drink, at least that's what I think. A lot of wine is bitter and astringent, and I have a headache after drinking too much, and I want to vomit.

It's just that wine is a drink that advertises as "mature", and I said in front of my intern that I actually want orange juice more, which seems to subvert my image in her heart.

Besides, the wine is all open, so it can't be wasted!

I have been running a family for many years, and I have long known the hardships in the plain firewood, rice, oil and salt, and I feel distressed when I see good wine and good food being wasted.

So I handed the cup to my intern and asked her to pour it for me.

"By the way, Brother Lu, I still have something to give you. ”

When I frowned and swallowed the bitter and spicy liquor, the intern suddenly took out a small and delicate gift box from the cloth satchel, with a ribbon tied on it.

"Well, what's that? Don't break the bank. ”

This child seems to be more stubborn than I thought, and the gift she wants to give, it should be useless for me to refuse, it is better to accept it generously.

"You can take it apart and see it. ”

With that, she handed over the gift box, and I reached out to take it and opened it directly according to her wishes.

"Huh?"

Coffee cup?

I'm a little confused.

"Ahem, I noticed you haven't had coffee in a long time. The intern girl blushed and coughed lightly, thinking she had a cold.

I scratched my head and said, "Well, I'm not used to changing the cup." ”

"So I bought you a coffee mug of the same style, and since yours seems to have been discontinued, it took me a lot of effort to find a stock that should be a different pattern. I'm not sure if the style is the same, though. ”

The intern girl finished speaking in one breath, a little angry. She carefully examined my expression, obviously not sure if I liked the style.

I took the cup and looked at it in the light for a while, and finally smiled:

"Hmm... It's like, I need it, thanks. ”

A coffee cup of a few dozen yuan is not a valuable gift, so I put it back in the gift box and put it in the pocket of my clothes.

Next, my intern sister and I chatted about some trivial matters while eating, and digested a lot of food and drink.

As the atmosphere got better, and I finished drinking another glass of wine with a red face, the intern girl who was about to pour the wine for me suddenly asked: "Brother Lu, you... Did you divorce your sister-in-law?"

"Huh?!"

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made me wake up most of the time, and my body couldn't help but tremble, and the chopsticks placed on the side of the bowl were knocked to the ground by me.

"Wait a minute..."

I smiled awkwardly and bent down to pick up the chopsticks on the ground.

At this time, I glanced at the pair of folded calves under the tablecloth, and the intern girl was wearing a pair of red high-heeled leather shoes and a pair of white over-the-knee stockings.

The calves tightly wrapped in pure white stockings have a full fleshy feeling, which is indeed very suitable for her.

But if Ru Yan had asked me out, she would have been wearing black silk that showed off her beautiful flesh color.

Syllable!

What the hell was I thinking?!

I tapped the chopsticks in my face to bring back my consciousness.

"Where did you hear about this?"

My tone was gentle, but the breath in my nose was so low that it seemed to be gone, and my heart was beating very slowly.

"Some seniors have talked about you, I heard that. ”

My intern felt something strange about me, and her tone was very careful, just like when we first met.

"What did they say?" I was a little curious, after all, I had never told anyone about it.

"They say you're fighting so hard because you've been divorced and hit hard......"

The intern lowered her head, her voice getting quieter and quieter, and she raised her eyes to peek at me like a child who had made a mistake, observing my face.

"Well... There's nothing wrong with what they're saying. ”

That's true, and I'm really acting unusually.

Weird people will always attract the attention of those around him, even if he doesn't want to, but as long as he is in the crowd, he will inevitably be put in the spotlight.

A man who has been staying in the company and not going back, and who only knows his work day and night, can easily make people guess if there is something wrong with his family.

It is not surprising that rumors and discussions in this regard have arisen.

And I believe that even if I don't give an answer, the intern girl must have seen it, although she is well-behaved and introverted, and she looks very simple, but she is not stupid at all.

If I were a married person and knew a little about my rigid personality, I would not agree to a meal alone with a female junior.

And from the coffee cup she gave me, it can be seen that she actually knew that I was the one who helped her at that time.

Very smart, very careful, this kid......

"I divorced her, we left a year ago, and we didn't say anything about it. ”

I thought back to the past, trying to stay calm, but my voice still trembled slightly.

"Sorry, sorry......"

My intern apologized to me.

"Why apologize?"

"I brought up your sadness, you must hate me now, don't you?"

The intern girl seemed to be crying, and her eyes were full of tears.

"If you want to make amends, then listen to me quietly, right?"

I sighed, I'm not angry, and if I get angry because of this kind of thing, then I'm too vexatious. Of course, this is indeed an obstacle that I have to overcome, and as long as I cross it, I can live a normal life.

And I need someone to talk to right now, someone to talk to quietly, compassionately.

"Of course I can! but ......"

The intern's voice suddenly rose up, but immediately fell again, and she asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, and slowly picked up the memories that had been hidden in the depths of my heart.

"I met her at a theatrical performance......"

I talked eloquently, recounting my memories with her, and the more I talked, the more I could feel the dullness in my heart getting smaller and smaller, and my body becoming lighter.

But at the end of the day, I couldn't hold back my tears, probably the first time I had cried in public and in the presence of others.

Although it wasn't a bitter cry, my snot and tears still flowed out, and it can be said that there was no image at all.

"This is for you. ”

The shopkeeper came to the intern with a plate with a pack of tissues and a cup of hot water.

"Uh, thank you. ”

Zhu Ying accepted it and nodded to the shopkeeper to thank him.

"The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place... Take good care of your boyfriend!"

The shopkeeper raised his head and let out a sigh of emotion before leaving, while Zhu Ying lowered his head and tried to hide his red cheeks, but he did not refute the shopkeeper's words.

At this time, my thoughts were not very clear, I had been drinking when I was reminiscing, and when I was done, my intern would pour it for me, and when I talked about the sad part, I finally couldn't hold back my tears, and she immediately hurriedly handed me a tissue.

As I took the tissue, I pushed the empty glass towards her and motioned for her to refill it.

"You've drunk enough. ”

But my intern, who had always been well-behaved, rejected me.

"One more drink, just one drink. I said in an almost pleading tone.

"Good ......"

The intern hesitated for a moment, but replaced the wine glass with the cup of hot water given by the shop owner.

I knew she had done it, but I took the cup of hot water, and I didn't notice any difference between the two things when I drank it, because my tongue was numb.

"Ahem!"

I choked on my alcoholic throat, which was so weak that I immediately coughed.

"Slow down!"

My intern ran up to me and patted me on the back.

After stabilizing my state, I smiled wryly and asked, "I'm really useless, right?"

"Brother Lu, you're very powerful. ”

My intern sat down next to me, and I was immediately surrounded by the soft and sweet smell, which I felt like candy and vanilla, and I couldn't help but lean towards that delicate body.

And she immediately hugged me, and even though I was much bigger than her petite body, I could feel her trying to wrap me around and warm me.

And I admit it, she did.

The heart in the chest, trembling and withering in the frost, was gradually rejuvenated.

I looked at her, and she looked at me.

"Brother Lu, I actually ......"

The girl's red cheeks were talking about her shyness, and there was a unique light in her moist eyes, which gave me warmth and a little anticipation in it.

I began to see her face clearly, and the effects of alcohol subconsciously became dull and blurry.

I seem to think of that important night many years ago, and she and I were the same......

Tut!

I bit the tip of my tongue and let the pain awaken my reason.

Consciousness cleared, and I emerged from this warm, indulgent embrace.

"That's all for today... I went back. ”

I turned my face away from her face full of astonishment and loss.

"You've drunk too much today, let me send you back, right?"

She tried to hold on to my unsteady body, but I quickened my pace.

"No, I can take care of myself. ”

I held on to the door of the restaurant, turned my head and continued:

"It's getting dark, you girl, go back early......"

Sitting in the taxi, I started thinking about what had just happened.

Of course, I can't let her accompany me home, I'm in a bad state, and my consciousness is not very clear, maybe I will do irreparable wrong things to this lovely junior.

As I looked down in contemplation, the boxy box in my jacket pocket poked at my abdomen and hurt a little, and I held it in my hand and looked at it silently in the moonlight.

Actually, it's not that I don't feel her heart, but I understand that my feelings for her are still just the love of my seniors for my juniors.

I don't deny that I did have a heart for a moment, but is it really good for me to take advantage of my years to act on a girl who is ignorant in love?

The child has a good personality and tutoring, and the cloth satchel she often wears looks ordinary, but it is actually a handmade brand, which is worth a lot of money, and obviously her family conditions are also very superior.

But I am a man who has been hit to the ground by life and career, and a person with conditions like me has a lot of grabs in the world, and she has a better choice.

And her feelings for me should be just the impulse of youth, maybe she still fantasizes about a fairy tale of a brave man saving the princess in her mind, but she may be a princess, but I am by no means a brave man, and the reality is by no means a fairy tale.

She and I won't have a good future, after all, I'm almost good for nothing, nothing is accomplished.

I can't make the wrong choice, it hurts me and it hurts her.

"Let's just act like nothing happened......

I let out a sigh and put the box back in my pocket.
