On Sunday afternoon, Zhao Manman's club activities ended.Zhao Siqi sent her home, thinking of sending her away, but Zhao Zhongwei and Chen Yufang stayed him for dinner.

The wishes of elders are always hard to refuse.Zhao Siqi couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

Sitting at the dining table, he sent Gao Chi a WeChat message, telling him that he was not at home tonight, and asked Gao Chi to eat on time alone.

After 5 minutes, Gao Chi replied: [I eat alone, so pitiful and lonely. 】

Zhao Siqi lowered her head, thinking about what to reply.Zhao Zhongwei sat across from him, looked at him for a few seconds, and said, "Si Qi, the food is getting cold, please check your phone after eating."

Zhao Siqi nodded, returned an emoticon to Gao Chi, then turned off the screen, and put the phone back in his pocket.

"Brother Si Qi, who are you chatting with?" Zhao Manman asked him.

She was sitting next to Zhao Siqi, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the emoji he sent just now, it was a white cat touching another cat's head, its movements and expressions were very cute.

Zhao Manman felt fresh, as if he had glimpsed a little unknown side of Zhao Siqi.

"Neighbor." Zhao Siqi said, "You met yesterday morning."

Zhao Manman put down his chopsticks and shared with his parents and sisters: "Let me tell you, Brother Si Qi's neighbor is so handsome, just like the male lead from an idol drama."

Zhao Yuanyuan became interested as soon as she heard it, "Really, do you have any photos?" She looked at Zhao Siqi, her eyes glowed, and she blinked expectantly.

Zhao Siqi shook her head.

"Oh, why is it so difficult to find a handsome guy?" Zhao Yuanyuan sighed, "Do you know that there are hundreds of people in our school, but there are not many handsome guys, all of them are crooked, and I can't see them. I go to school every day The motivation is gone.”

Chen Yufang looked at her daughter and smiled helplessly: "You child, you are going to school to study, not to find a boyfriend. It doesn't matter whether the parents are handsome or not."

Zhao Zhongwei also said: "You should study hard now, and when you reach Si Qi's age, you can pick handsome guys slowly."

Zhao Yuanyuan snorted softly: "You don't understand, handsome guys are all first come, first served. In a few years, they will definitely have their own owners, so it won't be my turn."

After finishing speaking, she put down her chopsticks, picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the TV, and went to watch the show with relish.

Zhao Zhongwei shifted his gaze to Zhao Siqi again, and said to him: "Siqi, what Dad told you to take care of earlier, is there any progress?"

Zhao Siqi stopped the hand holding the food, and shook his head honestly.

Zhao Zhongwei asked again: "Haven't you met some girls in the past few months?"

Zhao Siqi said, "No."

It just so happened that there was a blind date show on TV, and the male and female guests on the show were all young people in their twenties, some of them were even in their early twenties, and hadn't graduated from college.When Zhao Zhongwei saw it, he couldn't help but began to teach his son: "You see, people younger than you are all on the show to find a partner. Why are you not in a hurry? Dad is not urging you to get married. You should at least go out and meet more people. Make more friends, broaden your social circle, and stop staying at home."

Zhao Siqi accepted the criticism in silence.

This is a conversation that happens every month when he comes as a guest. He has long been used to it and has practiced the ability to go in one ear and out the other.

Chen Yufang said: "Si Qi, do you want Aunt Chen to introduce you to some girls?"

Zhao Siqi quickly waved her hand: "No need for Aunt Chen, I don't have a house or a car, and my salary is not high, so no one will take a fancy to me."

Chen Yufang said: "Don't worry about the house and the car, as long as there is something you like."

Zhao Siqi felt like sitting on pins and needles, saying "no" several times in succession, but none of them could stop the enthusiasm of Chen Yufang and Zhao Zhongwei.In the end, it was the two younger sisters who came out to help him out, and he was let go by the two elders.

Back home at night, Zhao Siqi picked up a courier at the gate of the community.

The express delivery is a cardboard box, which is a bit heavy.When he got home and opened the door, he put the suitcase between his waist and the wall, and fumbled awkwardly for the keys in his pocket.

He finally took out the key, but just as he inserted it into the lock, his hand slipped and the key fell to the ground with a snap.

Zhao Siqi sighed silently, bent down to pick up the key, but a hand suddenly appeared in his line of sight, helping him pick up the key.

It's Gochi.He had just returned from throwing out the trash, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Zhao Siqi standing not far away, struggling to unlock the door.

"I came back so late." Gao Chi handed him the key, and at the same time glanced at the courier in his arms.

Zhao Siqi took the key and said "thank you".

The door opened, and Gao Chi stood where he was.Zhao Siqi looked up at him, his eyes were a little dazed, and he asked Gao Chi: "Do you want to come in and sit down?"

"Okay." Gao Chi walked into the room and skillfully took out a pair of gray slippers from the shoe cabinet.This pair of slippers is the one he wears every time he comes, and it seems to be his exclusive.

"Let me give you another medicine by the way." Gao Chi said.

Once born and secondly familiar, Zhao Siqi has been naked in front of Gao Chi many times, and now she will not be shy or embarrassed.

It's just that he still didn't dare to look directly at Gao Chi. As soon as he took off his shirt, he lay down on the sofa, buried his face in his arms, and felt anxious and nervous.

Across a coffee table, two figures appeared on the TV screen.

The man sitting above is arched, his neck is drooping, and the black hair on his forehead is shaking slightly with the movement.

His eyes were deep, dark and focused.The movement was very gentle and the strength was moderate, Zhao Siqi even felt a little comfortable from it.

"The color has faded a lot, and it will disappear in two days." Gao Chi got up and said.

Zhao Siqi nodded, said "thank you" softly, then got dressed, and carried the courier that had just been brought into the kitchen.

The kitchen area is not big, especially since there are already a lot of items on the countertop, Zhao Siqi tidied up a little before taking out the items in the express box.

It is a fully automatic coffee machine. The lacquered shell reflects the snow-white light, which immediately attracted Gao Chi's attention.

"Why did you suddenly buy a coffee machine?" Gao Chi asked, leaning against the door.

Zhao Siqi put down the manual in her hand, plugged in the power, and said, "This way, I won't have to go out to buy coffee from now on."

After two seconds, he added: "Save some time and save some money."

"Save money?" Gao Chi stepped forward and took a close look at the coffee machine, "Does this machine cost a lot of money?"

Zhao Siqi said frankly: "The original price was 800, but after a discount, it's more than [-]."

Gao Chi looked at him thoughtfully, but didn't speak.

In his impression, Zhao Siqi didn't like drinking coffee very much, at least he was definitely not a serious coffee lover.He raised his eyes, stared at Zhao Siqi's side face, and suddenly showed a teasing smile, "Isn't it specially bought for me?"

Zhao Siqi stopped, and gave a soft "hmm".The volume is extremely weak, barely audible.

"Really?" Gao Chi raised an eyebrow, "Don't lie to me, I will take it seriously."

Having said that, there was a hint of teasing in his tone, obviously he didn't take it seriously.

Zhao Siqi didn't say anything anymore, he lowered his head and concentrated on tinkering with the machine.

For him, buying a coffee machine is not a whim, nor is it an impulse purchase.

After eating with Gao Chi for a while, Zhao Siqi observed that Gao Chi had the habit of drinking coffee in the morning, and often went to the coffee shop outside to buy a cup, so he did enough homework on the Internet these days, and ordered such a coffee machine .

The price was more than 800, which was considered cheap, but it still cost him several days' wages.

Gao Chi didn't stay for long and left soon.

Before leaving, he made an appointment with Zhao Siqi to have breakfast.After finalizing the time, he said again: "By the way, I will have breakfast tomorrow, and I won't come tonight if I have something to do."

Zhao Siqi blinked: "Do you have to work overtime at night?"

"No." Gao Chi scratched his hair, slightly agitated, "My mother wants to introduce her friend's daughter to me, and I have an appointment with the two families for dinner tomorrow night."

Zhao Siqi choked for breath.

After a long time, he moved his lips and squeezed out a few words dryly: "Your mother...is trying to match you up?"

"What do you think?" Gao Chi smiled, "What else can an elder at this age think about? That girl happened to have studied abroad, and my mother felt that I had something in common with her, and repeatedly ordered me to do it tomorrow night. Appear."

Zhao Siqi stood there in a daze, motionless like a statue.

He didn't pay attention to what Gao Chi said before he left. He only knew that Gao Chi was going to a blind date game, which would be tomorrow after 24 hours.

If it were Zhao Siqi half a year ago, he would never have imagined that he would meet Gao Chi again in this life, and become neighbors with Gao Chi, sitting face to face and eating together.

Sometimes, Zhao Siqi always feels that she is living in a dream.After waking up from the dream, Gao Chi was still on the far side of the ocean, in sunny California, in a strange place he didn't know at all, living a life without him.

But now that Gao Chi is back, his attitude towards him is the same as before, as if there was no vacancy for eight years.Zhao Siqi felt lucky about this, but also felt anxious.

He is glad that he can still be friends with Gao Chi, and that Gao Chi has never noticed his intentions.At the same time, I was also anxious because I had no common hobbies, no overlapping circle of friends, and no further relationship with Gao Chi.

What exactly is he hoping for?

Zhao Siqi knew from high school that Gao Chi liked women and would marry and have children.But why now that he only knows that Gao Chi is going to participate in a blind date with an unknown result, his heart feels like a knife is being cut, and it hurts so much.
