Love is like a dream

Xiao Cui probably heard my soft laugh, and looked up at me: "What are you laughing at, so happy."

Me: "I'm laughing, we are all highly educated young people in the new era, but we still have to engage in blind dates like the young people in the old society decades ago."

Xiao Cui also smiled: "Actually, it's not considered the old society. In the new society, finding a partner is also a way. People like us who have a small social circle and don't like to go out usually have very few channels to meet the opposite sex."

Me: "What plans do you have in the future, or do you have any dreams?"

Xiao Cui: "I don't have any plans now. I want to work in Beijing for a few years and save some money. I will go back to my hometown to get married and have children. My dream... I never thought about it. I am an only child. I will just take good care of my parents and children in the future."

Me: "Oh...it's good..."

Xiao Cui: "What about you, what are your plans?"

Me: "Stay here and develop in Beijing. I will make further progress in my career. My dream is to become a best-selling author and then travel all over the world."

Xiao Cui: "I feel so thoughtful and interesting... But sooner or later, a woman will get married and have children to take care of her parents-in-law. Have you never thought about it?"

Me: "Everyone has his own aspirations."

Xiao Cui: "Well, I understand your situation pretty much. What do you want to know about me?"

Me: "I just figured it out."

Xiao Cui: "Is that all? Don't you ask me how much money I make every month, whether I have bought a house or a car, and how many girlfriends have I had?"

Me: "Oh, no need."

Xiao Cui: "I can understand that you are rejecting me?"

Me: "I already rejected it last night. You called my aunt again to ask for a meeting?"

Xiao Cui: "Well, yes, I think that no matter what, I will give everyone a chance to get to know each other, so..."

Me: "Well, I also want to explain to my aunt."

Xiao Cui: "Can I ask why you rejected me? Do you think I'm not in a high position, I don't make much money, or I'm not handsome enough?"

Me: "No, please don't get me wrong. I don't mind these things. I just have no plans to make friends or get married. To be honest, I don't want to cause you any misunderstanding. I also want to make it clear to you in person this time."

Xiao Cui: "Actually... you're pretty good in every way, but you've had a lot of boyfriends... I can't tell you've had so many boyfriends..."

Me: "Haha, yes, every man wants to be every woman's first wife, right?"

Xiao Cui smiled, but did not speak.

Xiao Cui: "Then... the conversation is almost over, I have something to do this afternoon..."

Me: "Well, that's it."

Xiao Cui shouted to pay the bill, I looked at the bill, took out the money and put it on the table: "Let's make it AA."

Xiao Cui pushed back: "How can this work, how can I let the girls pay the bill, I will do it."

Me: "Don't be so polite, it should be, well, I still have to drive, let's go first."

Xiao Cui bowed his head to pay and said, "Okay, that...you take the money—"

I have already walked out of the restaurant. I don't think that men and women must pay for meals. Everyone has nothing to do with it. AA is not better, and women don't have to take advantage of men.

When I got home, I checked that the time was 2:[-] in the afternoon. I wasted a few hours inexplicably. After washing my face, I felt a little sleepy and took a nap. Unexpectedly, I slept until [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

I glanced at the phone and there were three missed calls, it was from my aunt. Maybe I just adjusted the vibration on my phone, but I didn’t hear it when I was sleeping. I knew it must be a blind date again. If I don’t explain it thoroughly, it will be endless. I dialed back.

Me: "Hey, aunt, what can I do for you?"

Aunt: "Molly, you met at noon, right? The boy called me when he came back and said you had eight boyfriends, but he disagreed."

Me: "Huh? Does he mean he disagrees?"

Aunt: "Yes, you know that people in our hometown are more traditional in thinking..."

Me: "Hahaha, it's a good tradition..."

Aunt: "Girl, what are you laughing at, people think you have many boyfriends, you're still happy!"

Me: "Ah, it's okay, I'm just happy, fortunately I'm not so traditional..."

Aunt: "What are you talking about? Are you lying to others? Why hasn't Aunt heard that you have had a boyfriend?"

Me: "Yeah, so what, we are not the same kind of people at all, we will be happier if we are not together, right?"

Aunt: "You girl, what are you thinking about all day long? Auntie can tell you that as you get older, you will meet fewer and fewer suitable ones. Listen to Auntie and go with the right one. But don't be too picky, don't get married by then!"

Me: "Don't worry, I won't let my parents take care of me if I don't get married. I can support myself, and I still have to work hard to make money and honor my parents."

Aunt: "Auntie thinks that this woman's life is not easy. She always needs to find a man to rely on, and then have a child. When she gets old, she will have someone to take care of her."

Me: "That's what people of your generation think, but now the times are different. Women don't necessarily need men to support them, and they don't necessarily need to have children to support them. I can't deny you, but you can't help me decide whether my life is right or not. ?”

Aunt: "This girl, after reading a lot, she is different. She talks in a different way. Aunt is too old to talk to you, and she doesn't understand the truths you said. You know that your mother and I are doing it for your own good... ..."

Me: "I know, I know, when I earn money, I will show filial piety to you guys, so don't worry about these things for me anymore, just stay at home, eat, drink, and have fun, okay?"

Aunt: "Okay, okay, that's it, I'm going to cook, and you should eat well, don't lose weight all day long."

Me: "Understood, goodbye, aunt."

Hanging up the phone, I ate an apple and started typing. I feel good today. I checked the time casually and it was already 10:[-] in the evening. I quickly picked up my phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was a message from Xiao Zhen line news.

Xiao Zhen: Jasmine, why are you ignoring me all day?

I checked the time, and it was sent at 6 o'clock in the evening. I quickly replied: Sorry, I just saw it. I want to tell you something interesting. I went on a blind date today!

As soon as I sent the message, I received a voice call from Xiao Zhen asking for a reminder. I pressed the answer button, and immediately heard Xiao Zhen's angry voice.

Xiao Zhen: "You actually went on a blind date, you annoying Jasmine! Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Me: "Why are you so angry! I'm afraid that telling you in advance will affect your work!"

Xiao Zhen: "But now it will affect my sleep! Why are you going on a blind date? Do you want a man or not me?"

Me: "Hey, what are you talking about, what a Beiqi!"

Xiao Zhen: "You can actually scold me in Taiwanese, which man wanted Liang to point at you, it's time for him to brandish his knife and leave the palace!"

Me: "Hey, don't worry, don't worry, let me tell you..."
