I like you

weekdays at [-] p.m.

Lu Ning followed the crowd to get off the subway. In mid-October, the weather wasn't too hot, and she didn't sweat every time she squeezed the subway like before.

Lu Ning went out while inserting coins and answered the phone, "Hey Mom, what's wrong?"

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

Lu Ning had a bad feeling and responded vaguely.

"Tomorrow, after work, I'm going to meet someone else. I'll hang up."

Lu Ning felt a little headache when she heard the beeping sound coming from the opposite side.

He is twenty-six this year, and he came out to his family many years ago. He has been single all these years, and his mother is in a hurry. During this time, he has been busy introducing various partners to him, and his enthusiasm is really unbearable.

He flipped through the phone's address book, thinking about whether to find someone to pretend to be his partner to hide the limelight during this time. Since the last time, he didn't want to find a partner.

There is someone in Lu Ning's heart, his first love, from 17 to 20 years old, three years, their first love went abroad in the second year of their relationship, and later because of some conflicts in different places, they broke up after half a year of the Cold War, Lu Ning What Ning mentioned was a unilateral breakup. After the breakup, the first love never returned, and never returned to the country.

During the cold war between the two, Lu Ning took the initiative to show affection more than once. The conflicts between the two were just small conflicts. He didn't know why things developed like this. For a certain period of time, the imperial city panicked and sent him messages and made video calls to him. , Put down your face and take the initiative to apologize to him.

The first love didn't reply a word.

One day after the breakup, Lu Ning thought of him cheaply, and still had some expectations, so she got a trumpet and added him. At the beginning, her first love responded very diligently. On Valentine's Day, Lu Ning asked him, "What are your plans for today?" ?”

First love reply: In the past, I must have lived with my partner, but I broke up some time ago, and now I don’t have a partner.

For a moment, Lu Ning was like a person standing outdoors in the winter, being poured with cold water from head to toe, his whole body was chilled, Lu Ning immediately blacked him out, and never paid attention to that person again.

Their beginning was actually quite bloody, they were classmates in high school, and they didn't meet each other at the beginning. When Lu Ning met him, he still had a girlfriend. Once when he went back to the classroom, he saw them kissing on the seat with his schoolbag.

Not long after this, there was news that the two broke up in the class. The first love was decadent for half a year before becoming cheerful again.

Later, his first love rescued him once, and the two gradually became acquainted. After his first love chased him for nearly a year, he said he would try it, but he tried it for three years.

...In this way, his first love went through three years of cold winter and intense heat, and it came to an end in his sophomore year.

Right now, my mother definitely can't postpone it. I have to make it clear to her when I come back this time that I don't want to introduce anyone to him in the future. He is really not in the mood.

He is a money junkie and just wants to make money right now.

After work the next day, Lu Ning went directly to the agreed place, only to find out that the place was a high-end western restaurant. He was wearing a hoodie and overalls, and the guard almost refused to let him in.

Lu Ning reported the number of the box at the front desk, and someone led him there. When he entered the door, there was already someone waiting inside, and that person stood up to meet him.

The man in front of him had broad shoulders and long legs. He was wearing a black suit. He was handsome and impressive. His thin lips were pursed and his smile was serious. He exuded a harsh aura.

Lu Ning is about 1.9 tall and half a head taller than him, [-] meters by visual inspection.

To be honest, this kind of man is very popular no matter what circle he is in, so why would he come on a blind date?

The man didn't give him a chance to think, stretched out his hand, and said five words in a low voice, "Hello, Ying Junhuai."

Well, the sound is nice too.

Lu Ning stretched out her hand and shook him, "Lu Ning."

The young man's voice was cold, his big eyes were half closed, and his eyes looked a little cold, and his hair was hanging down softly, making people want to reach out and touch it.

After the two sat down, there was a silence. Ying Junhuai invited the waiter to order a few dishes, and then handed the menu to Lu Ning. Lu Ning briefly looked at it and said, "You can come, I can do it."

Ying Junhuai ordered a few more dishes and added two glasses of iced lemon black tea.

The interval between serving dishes was a bit long, and Lu Ning had no intentions of the other party. Although Ying Junhuai was an exciting object, he was not as attractive as Grandpa Mao in his eyes.

Perhaps because of embarrassment and anger, Ying Junhuai looked at him, "You work in HN?"

"Hmm!" To be precise, it is a subsidiary of HN.

Ying Junhuai nodded, "Very good."

When the food was served on the table, Lu Ning was a little surprised to find that it was all her favorite food, probably a coincidence.

Ying Junhuai took out a straw from somewhere and inserted it into a cup of iced lemon black tea, pushed it in front of him, and said, "Drink, the black tea here tastes pretty good."

Lu Ning did not refuse, but said thank you.

After dinner, Ying Junhuai said to send him home, but Lu Ning refused, Ying Junhuai said let's go and I will drop by.

Lu Ning didn't refuse, and got into the car, the two of them chatted one after another, most of the time they were silent, when they were about to get off the car, Lu Ning said: "Let's just listen to the elders and have a meal. What do you think?"

He just asked this symbolically. In fact, he didn't care how the other party felt at all. He thought that he would never meet again anyway.

Seeing that the other party looked at him sideways and didn't answer, Lu Ning said again: "You will say that I have a bad temper, old and ugly, and not suitable for you when you go back."

"..." Ying Junhuai seemed to smile, and said, "You have a good temper, very cute, and I like it very much. As for whether it is suitable for me, it doesn't matter what you say."

Lu Ning, "......." There was no emotion in his heart, nor was there any emotion on his face, he was facially paralyzed.

At the destination, Ying Junhuai stopped the car, rubbing the steering wheel with his slender fingers, "I know you don't like blind dates, and neither do I. It's hard for the elders to refuse, why don't we cooperate?"

Lu Ning, "How to cooperate?"

"We pretend to be in love with the elders, and we usually pretend."

Lu Ning lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "I'll think about it."

Lu Ning didn't think clearly for a while, but remembered something, "How much was the meal just now? I'll forward it to you on WeChat."

Ying Junhuai froze for a moment, a hurt expression flashed across his face, "I'll add you on WeChat."

"Just receive the payment code directly."

Ying Junhuai said: "I still have to add it, otherwise how would I know what you think?"

"......." Finally added.

After Lu Ning thanked him, she got out of the car and walked into the community, wandering around to digest food, Ying Junhuai kept picking up vegetables for him, he accidentally got full, bought a bottle of yogurt in the store and gave it to Ying Junhuai while drinking it money.

Tonight's dinner cost him half a month's food expenses, which is a bit painful, and he will have to live very cautiously for the next month to get back to balance.He is not poor, on the contrary, his small coffers are sufficient, and he can take a trip at any time, but he is used to saving money and is not willing to spend it.

After drinking the yogurt and arriving home, when Lu Ning was taking a comfortable hot bath, his mother called and came in, Lu Ning dried her hands and pressed the answer button.

"Lu Ning, how is today?"

"good."

"If you think it's not bad, just look around, the grade is not too young, anyway, if you don't have anyone you like, just give it a try!"

Lu Ning has already developed a resistance to the word "try".

"I've seen that young man. He graduated from a prestigious university with a master's degree and is now teaching at his alma mater. I'm quite satisfied with his good looks."

Lu Ning recalled Ying Junhuai's meticulous face, and felt that he was not like a teacher, but a bit like the "President" in the novel.

Fu forehead is ashamed, it is indeed the result of being abused by friends day and night.

"Mom, I'm asleep, let's talk!"

"Hey son, what's the matter with you, how do you live the life of an old man at a young age? Okay, if this doesn't work, there will be another one. Don't worry, let's take it slowly." He said without giving him a chance to refute. The phone hung up.

"..." He also said just now that he was not in a young age.

Lu Ning sank her face into the water in distress, "Gulu Gulu" vomited a few bubbles, after thinking about it, she stood up abruptly, pulled a towel and wiped it casually twice, then put on her pajamas and went out.

He stared blankly at Ying Junhuai's profile picture while holding his mobile phone. The profile picture was very simple. It was a black silhouette in the dusk. The silhouette looked very thin, with slightly fluttering hair. He reckoned it should be a teenager.

At this moment, Ying Junhuai sent a message: Are you asleep?

Lu Ning put the phone on the bedside table, lay down, and didn't plan to answer him.

He thought, if he really wanted to find someone to act on the occasion, then Ying Junhuai would be a good candidate, but if Ying Junhuai was interested in him, then it would not work.

For him, it is very difficult to manage a relationship. What you get is not directly proportional to what you give. No matter how much you give, it will become difficult to end. With this time and energy, it is better to make money. It is too risky to talk about relationships. It was worth his risk.

"Ding" Another message was sent, Lu Ning picked up the phone and glanced at it, it said: How are you thinking?

After a while, Ying Junhuai: Don't worry, it's just for show, I have someone I like, and I'm waiting for him.

Seeing the news, Lu Ning didn't hesitate anymore, and replied: Okay, let's play.

Lu Ning intuited that someone like Ying Junhuai would not change his mind if he liked someone, he seemed to be the dedicated kind.

Ying Junhuai: We don’t have to go to work tomorrow, shall we go to the movies?

Lu Ning: No way.

As soon as the weekend comes, he will arrange himself clearly. He plans to watch a movie tomorrow, but he wants to watch it alone. Isn't it good to watch a movie by himself?Why would it be awkward to see a stranger?

Ying Junhuai: Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

Lu Ning: watching a movie

There was silence for a while, and then sent another message: Watching at home?

Lu Ning: Yes

Ying Junhuai: Can I be together?

Lu Ning thought, why should we be together?Doesn't he think it's embarrassing for the two of them to be together?And doesn't he have someone he likes?

Ying Junhuai: We need to get along for a while to get to know each other, otherwise it will be embarrassing if the elders can’t answer the questions in the future.

Lu Ning:......Okay

The fingers are very reluctant to type out two words.

Lu Ning enjoys his private space very much. He has been used to being independent since he was a child, and he can't accept the invasion of outsiders. Sometimes even his parents can't do it, so he moved out to live alone after he became an adult, and only returned home during the holidays.

Their family relationship is average. When he was young, his parents were busy with the company and had little time to accompany him. Gradually, he got used to it. He felt that there was nothing wrong with living alone, and he was at ease.
