The director is too flirtatious

The Friday when Mr. Zhang's list was finalized happened to be my mother's birthday.So when I got off work, I packed my things in a hurry, said hello to everyone, and left.

When I got home, my mother was sitting on the sofa, talking to someone on the phone.While Dad was busy in the kitchen, he heard the sound of opening the door, and came out of the kitchen with a spatula, "Yinian, are you back?"

"Well, Dad, I'm back." As I said that, I walked towards the sofa, dropped my bag, sat next to my mother, put my arms around her arm, and kissed her face.

Dad looked at this scene amusedly, shook his head helplessly, turned and went back to the kitchen.

"Ouch, you girl." After being kissed by me like this, my mother pinched my face dumbfounded, and a female voice was asking my mother what's wrong on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's my daughter who came back from get off work. This girl is 27 years old, and she's not too old or young."

"Where am I not old or young?" I pouted pretending to be wronged, "Besides, I am 26 years old, not 27 years old, okay?"

I also recognized that the voice on the other end of the phone was my mother's best friend, so I said to the other end of the phone, "Aunt Lian, don't listen to my mother's nonsense, I am still young."

"Oh, let's go, let's go." My mother pushed me away in disgust, so I walked into the kitchen with a smile.

"Dad, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

"It's nothing, I just made a few dishes that your mother likes." Dad pointed at the ingredients ready to be put into the pot with a spatula, "Braised sea bass, garlic scallop vermicelli, spicy crayfish, a soup of mixed mushrooms, and a few dishes, too." That's about it."

"Dad cooks, the delicious food is unstoppable, I'm already hungry, hee hee." I put on a gesture to help my father squeeze his shoulders, "Thank you, dad, did you make longevity noodles for mom, dad?"

"I'm prepared, but the longevity noodles have to be eaten when they are about to be eaten, otherwise they won't taste good."

When my father and I were talking, my mother had already hung up the phone and walked towards the kitchen, "Look, see if you father and daughter have destroyed my kitchen."

"Oh, mom, you are a birthday boy today, don't even think about entering the kitchen." I stopped my mother when I was at the door of the kitchen, took her arm, and half pushed and half pulled to the sofa . "And you, just sit here, watch TV, and cross your legs."

Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she pinched my face, "You."

I hugged her arm and acted like a baby for a while, and the mother and daughter talked happily.

Needless to say, Dad's craftsmanship is superb and delicious.Mom already ate a lot, and the last bowl of longevity noodles made her not want to move at all.

But the birthday cake hasn't been eaten yet. Dad has already prepared the birthday cake. When Mom saw the cake, she immediately frowned, "When will I have to eat it? It's such a waste."

"That's not the way you say it. Birthdays come only once a year, and you have to have everything you deserve." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my father come out with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and immediately covered my eyes pretending to be dazzling, "Ouch, Here comes the show of affection, you two are old husband and wife, and they are still so sweet, have you considered your daughter's feelings?"

My mother grinned from ear to ear. Although she complained that Dad was wasting money, she took the flowers sweetly and turned to me and said, "I have been waiting for you to bring your boyfriend back for so many years. I envy you and your dad." feelings, maybe you find one by yourself?"

"Oh, how can it be so easy? With Dad as a model of a good man in the world, it's not so easy for me to like other men. No matter what, I have to find someone who is better than Dad."

"It's hard to find someone as good as your father. You, don't ask too much." Mom praised Dad, and she was not polite at all, which made me blush for her.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, just think about it, come and help Dad light the candles."

We just plugged in three candles, and while I was lighting the fire, Dad went to turn off the light in the living room.

I sang birthday songs with my father, so I asked my mother to make a wish quickly.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, my mother's face looked red, and she seemed to be ten years younger all of a sudden.With tears in her eyes, she looked at her father, then at me, clasped her hands together and made a wish on the cake: "I hope our family of three will be healthy and work smoothly."

"I hope that once I think about it, I will find a boyfriend quickly so that I can hug my grandson earlier, and I will be satisfied."

When I heard my mother make this wish, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.After my mother blew out the candle, I said with a little grievance: "Mom, wouldn't it be good for me to stay by your side more? Why are you so eager to marry me?"

"You are 27 years old, it's time to fall in love. Find a boyfriend and fall in love for a year or so. When the child is born, you will be nearly 30 years old. I'm in a hurry." Mom said earnestly and patted the back of my hand, "Besides, finding a boyfriend is not easy, there must be a selection process, so, I can't blame my mother for being anxious."

Of course I know that my mother is doing it for my own good, and I can understand my mother's desire to hug my grandson earlier, but when faced with these things, I inevitably feel a little sad.

How should I tell my mother so that she can accept that I am not married?How should I tell my mother that I don't like men?

Just thinking about this makes me feel like my head is about to explode, and tears well up all at once.

Dad saw my strangeness, patted me on the shoulder, and said to my mother: "Okay, don't force the child, cut the cake quickly."

I smiled gratefully at my father, but I was still sad in my heart.

Every time I go home, it is inevitable that these things will be mentioned.

After eating the cake, my mother took me and sat down on the sofa. "One thought, I know that you young people don't really want to get married, but you think about it, the best years of a woman are these few years. Once they are 30 years old, they will start to go downhill. Now it's you who choose a man. It's time to become a man picking you, and you should always think about yourself."

"Mom, but no one stipulates that you must get married. I can live a good life alone, right? And I have you all."

"Silly boy, your dad and I will never be by your side forever. What if your parents get old or pass away, what will you do alone? I asked you to find a husband for the sake of having a companion in the future. Someone will pour you a glass of water when you’re thirsty, someone will send you to the hospital when you’re sick, and you’ll have one or two lovely children in the future, how nice is that?”

"But I just don't want to get married..."

"Why don't you want to get married?"

"I……"

Why don't you want to get married?Because I like women.

But how could I dare to tell my mother this reason?So when my mother asked me this, I couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

"Mom... It's not like I can't live without a man. Isn't it good for me to live like this now? I have a stable job and a place to live. I don't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I don't have to maintain a large family."

"But marriage is something that everyone must go through." Mom's patience seems to have almost worn out, and her face can appear a little cold, "Life without marriage is incomplete. Everyone walks like this. No one There are exceptions. One thought, you can't just be greedy for a moment, you have to think about the future, think about your parents."

"I just want to hug my grandson. While I can still hug him, isn't that too much to ask?"

"No...no..."

In the end, all the rebuttals and untenable reasons were swallowed back into my stomach.

After returning to the room, I opened WeChat in a low mood.On the WeChat chat page, the message at the top is from the director, which shows how often I chat with the director.

I clicked on the dialog box almost subconsciously, and the latest message was sent by her after eight o'clock, [I didn't see you in the office, I'm really not used to it. 】

Because of Mr. Zhang's list, I have been working overtime for many days, and the director has been busy, so I stay with her in the company at night.

I looked at her message and smiled slightly, but it didn't mean anything in particular.It's just that at this time, both physically and mentally, I feel a little tired, so I don't want to reply to her message.

I exited the dialog box with her, opened the group chat of my girlfriends group, thought about it, and typed on it: [Today is my mother's birthday, my mother said, I am not young anymore, I should plan for myself. 】

Ma Yuelin quickly texted me back, [Yes, it's time to plan for myself. 】

Xu Yinian: [Then what, is it considered as planning for yourself? 】

Ma Yuelin: [At least you must know what you want. 】

what do you want?what do i wantI also don't know what I want.I wanted not to get married, but facing my mother's expectant eyes, I found that I couldn't do it.

Xu Tiantian: [One thought, you have reached a fork in the road, and you can't escape. 】

I looked at Xu Tiantian's words with a wry smile, and tapped my fingers slowly on the screen, [I always feel that I am still young, and I can delay it for a few more years. 】

Wang Xiaoya: 【This world is very unfair to women. There are only a few years of youth. Frankly speaking, for most people, after the age of 30, women start to go downhill. 】

Ma Yuelin: [Those women who are still living well after the age of 30 and are fearless are all excellent and brave people. One thought, you are not brave enough. 】

Xu Tiantian: [Just like the director, because she is strong and excellent, she is fearless. 】

The three people in the girlfriends group said these words that made me feel a little uncomfortable. Every sentence made sense, and every sentence gave me a knowing blow.

I was a little unwilling to type and responded, 【You guys used to make fun of me with the director before, so what's the point of hitting me like this now? 】

Ma Yuelin: [I'm not serious so I'm joking. 】

Xu Tiantian: [Because I didn't expect you to fall into it. 】

I watched their words and was silent for a while, then I saw Wang Xiaoya utter the most important sentence.

Wang Xiaoya: [Because you don't have the courage to start, so we can only hit you without leaving room. 】

They really are the people who understand me best in this world.

I watched Wang Xiaoya's words, tears welled up slowly, wet my eye sockets, and blurred my vision.

Wang Xiaoya: 【This world is very cruel. As a woman who doesn't have enough courage to go this way, I don't like to procrastinate. 】

Wang Xiaoya: [I know a couple, they have been together for six years, but they all know that there is no result.Both would eventually marry and have children, neither of them having the courage to come out. 】

Wang Xiaoya: [For them, I once said a paragraph, and now I think this paragraph is very suitable for you. 】

Wang Xiaoya: [At this age, if you really don’t have the courage to go this way, come out, or resist your family, then you should obey.A woman's youth is only a few years old, and now at least she can still find a man who likes you, which is better than trying to draw water from a bamboo basket. 】

Wang Xiaoya: [Society is very realistic, isn't it?Since you can't laugh in a bicycle, you should at least choose to cry in a BMW.It is an undeniable fact that the older you are, the fewer good men you will have for yourself. 】

Wang Xiaoya: [Maybe in the future, the man you find is a little handsome and has a little money, then at least you don't have to be reduced to worrying about a few hundred dollars.If you are over 30, at that time your family will persecute you even more horribly in order to get you married. Can you still withstand the pressure?Are you sure you won't marry a worse man? 】

Wang Xiaoya: [If I can only go so far, since I can’t choose to laugh on a bicycle, then at least I won’t choose to cry on a bicycle.Even if I cry miserably on a BMW, it is still a BMW anyway. 】

Xu Tiantian: [...It's really realistic. 】

Ma Yuelin: [But Xiaoya is right, isn't she? 】

Wang Xiaoya: [One thought, we all hope you can think clearly.Again, no matter what choice you make, we will support you. 】

I kept repeating what they said, watching what Wang Xiaoya said.

The heart sank from the beginning, but after watching it a few times, it became numb instead.

I quit the girlfriends group and opened a dialog with the director.Looking at the conversations I had with her, swipe up one by one.The small talk, the funny conversations, the airtime spoke of our intimacy.

Wang Xiaoya was right, I didn't have the courage to start.

I didn't have the courage to ask the director if he was interested in me, and I didn't have the courage to like the director unscrupulously.

I slowly closed my eyes, thinking of the director's smiling face, thinking of her delicate face, and thinking of the days I spent with her.Finally, I thought of my mother's hand patting the back of my hand.

How can I be worthy of being the director?

I am sorry.
