Love is like a dream

Early the next morning, I turned on my cell phone and saw two missed calls, one from my aunt and one from my mother. I guessed it was probably because of Xiao Cui. I ignored it and turned on the computer to write something.

After a few minutes, my mother called again, and I answered it.

Mom: "You finally turned on the phone. Last night your aunt said that the boy contacted you? But you ignored him?"

Me: "I texted him back. I just don't plan to get married and make friends right now, so why do I have to deal with him?"

Mom: "Your aunt said that this child is a good person and a good job. He works as a programmer in Zhongguancun, and his income is not low. The family conditions are also good. What is not good enough for you? Don't be too picky about the girl's family."

Me: "Mom, when will I choose, when will I say that people are not good enough for me, and I say I don't want to make friends and get married yet, do you understand?"

Mom: "Mom knows you hate blind dates, but we're already here, so we'll see each other first, and we'll talk about whether it's suitable or not, okay?"

Me: "Not suitable."

Mom: "Jasmine, tell mom honestly, is there someone you like? If you want a mom, I won't force you, but you have to tell mom so that mom can rest assured."

Me: "No, I just want to be alone, can't I?"

Mom: "The child grows up and becomes disobedient. Your aunt ran several times to help you tell him that if you don't go to see him, how will your aunt explain to him?"

Me: "Mom, I'm going to be angry if you say it again. I've said that my family doesn't need to worry about it. I know that you and my aunt are doing it for my own good, but I have my own ideas and plans, so you can Can't you trust me?"

Mom: "I don't care, anyway, I know you are off today, you have to go see that boy for me, even if you meet him face to face and refuse him, I can have an explanation with your aunt, and your aunt can also talk to me The parents have a confession, no matter how much you study, you have to keep this etiquette at home!"

Me: "Mom! I'm really going to lose my temper! If you do this again, I will decide not to marry for the rest of my life! I still don't believe it. Will a woman die if she doesn't marry? Do you still think this is the old society?"

Mom: "This child, if you want to be by my side, I will give you a slap, get the hell out of here!"

Me: "If you don't get out, if you don't get out, you don't get out!"

Mom: "I'm begging you, okay? You just listen to this one time. Mom won't embarrass you in the future. Your aunt is waiting for an answer! Just go out and have a meal with someone, okay?"

I should belong to the type of soft-hearted but not strong-willed ones. As soon as my mother's tone softened, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I was silent for a few seconds.

Me: "Okay, that's what you said, I'll reject him in person."

Mom: "This kid is getting older, Mom really can't control it anymore, let's go."

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Xiao Cui called again and made an appointment to meet at a restaurant.I chuckled in my heart: Whether I am happy or not, I will be forced to go on a blind date. Is this a Chinese characteristic?

At noon, I arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time, and saw that the boy had already arrived at the reserved seat, and he was actually wearing a neat suit, making it look like an interview, while I was still casually wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt , walked to the table and the boy stood up and stretched out his hand: "Hello, is this Molly?"

Is it still an interview routine, to shake hands?

I also stretched out my hand: "Hello, yes, you are Xiao Cui?"

Xiao Cui: "Yes, sit down and look at the menu. What do you want to eat?"

Me: "It doesn't matter, you can order whatever you want."

Xiao Cui: "How that works depends on what you like to eat."

I took the menu and glanced casually: "Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin Spaghetti."

Xiao Cui: "What else?"

Me: "This portion is enough."

Xiao Cui: "Order a few more dishes, one noodle is too monotonous."

Me: "Look at it."

Xiao Cui flipped through the menu and ordered noodles with meat sauce for himself, and then ordered some side dishes, dessert drinks and the like.

In the end, Xiao Cui seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "Do you want a drink?"

I shook my head, how could it be possible to drink with a stranger.

From entering the door to now, I only politely scanned one person, Xiao Cui. I am not interested in this matter at all, and I am really too lazy to look at a person who has nothing to do with me. I generally think that he is a medium-sized, medium-looking person. People, it seems that they should belong to traditional men, but these are not the point.

What makes me feel uncomfortable is that Xiao Cui has been staring at me openly or secretly since he entered the door, which made me feel very annoyed. I feel like a Chinese cabbage. , weight, measurements, quality, self-cultivation, property, family background, personality, hobbies...

The feeling of being scrutinized or valued makes people lose self-esteem. This is why I especially hate so-called blind dates. This is how I look. I only have this ability and this family background. Thinking about myself, why is it a stranger's turn to measure and examine?It was as if I had to rely on others for the rest of my life.

Before the dishes were served, the two strangers were a little embarrassed. I saw that Xiao Cui opened his mouth a few times, but I didn’t know what to say, so I said: “If you want to ask anything, just ask, I will answer if I can. "

Xiao Cui: "I heard that you are now the editor-in-chief of a publishing house? Is your salary quite high?"

Me: "Not much."

Xiao Cui: "How could it be? How could it be tens of thousands?"

Me: "No, it's not far away."

Xiao Cui: "Then specifically—"

Me: "You can ask other questions."

Xiao Cui: "How many boyfriends have you had before?"

I frowned. Does the man care about this issue? I feel inexplicably disgusted. I think he would like me to say: Haven't you had a boyfriend yet?I smirked in my heart, stretched out my hands and started counting.

我：“我数数啊，1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8……哎，只有八个诶，不多吧？”

I obviously saw that Xiao Cui's face changed, so I said normally: "Uh... a lot, a lot..."

Me: "Any more questions?"

Xiao Cui: "Well... what are your plans in the future, will you return to your hometown?"

Me: "If I don't go back, I can't find a suitable job in my hometown."

Xiao Cui: "Is that planning to settle in Beijing?"

I'm."

S: "Then...you bought a house?"

Me: "I don't have the money to buy it, I will buy it later if I have money."

At this time, the dishes have been served one after another, and he said politely: "Let's eat first, and chat while eating."

I was absent-mindedly picking up the pasta on the plate. He lowered his head and ate his food, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. Did I scare him by saying that I had eight boyfriends before?When I think about it, I find it funny that I have to be forced to have a kiss that was already destined to end.
