a protracted war

cloudy on October 5

He and Yi Yiding decided to have lunch together.

I sent a WeChat message to tell him that there was a Cantonese restaurant in the city center.

Yi Yi said: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just go to your house to eat."

I said: "It's better to say goodbye, or my parents will ask questions again."

Yi Yi said: "Oh, is that why you don't want to have a try with me?" Although all the texts were sent, I seemed to see his aggrieved face appearing in front of my eyes.

I thought about it for a long time, trying to find the best words to tell him that it wasn't that he was bad, it was my own problem, and it was hard for me to feel the attraction of others to me.

"No, I'm just not ready for a relationship," I finally said.

Yi Yi asked me: "Is it the last relationship... that hurt you deeply?"

I said, "No, I've never been in a relationship."

Yi Yi: "...Oh, then I understand you."

Then he said: "It's okay, take your time." I really felt a great comfort in just a few words, and I think I have clearly rejected him.

When I was about to leave the house at noon, my mother caught me like a machine gun and asked, "Who are you eating with?" "Male or female?" "Where are you going to eat?"

I told my mother that it was a colleague, a man.

My mother looked at me a little sadly, "It's okay to be a man, you are already 28, leave my hometown, and the children will run all over the place."

I said, "I can't have a baby with a man."

My mother patted me on the head, "That's all I said, you can grow up, the boss is not young, hurry up and find a companion, I see you all day long as if you want to grow up in the house when you are on vacation, it's annoying to death gone."

I nodded my head to show that I was taught.

When I arrived at the place, there were still ten minutes before the appointment with Yi Yi. I went into the box and waited for him, and then sent him a WeChat message to tell him the name of the box.

The boxes here are all named according to the 24 solar terms. When I sent the name of the box to Yi Yi, Yi Yi was surprised and asked me: "Did you choose it on purpose? Today is Lixia."

I said, "No, it just happened."

Yi Yi said, "I'm almost there, I just parked the car."

Me: "It's okay, don't worry."

Just two minutes after the message was sent, he was seen coming in.

He is dressed casually today, khaki trousers with a white T, and a pair of white canvas shoes, not the standard shirt and trousers when I saw him a few times ago.

Student anger.I couldn't help but look at it again from top to bottom.

He should have taken care of his hair specially, and his bangs were combed back, revealing a smooth and full forehead.

Yi Yi ordered a few dishes, as well as some famous snacks from this restaurant. I also ordered a few, and the table was full before I knew it.

When the dishes were served, I sighed with emotion that there must be more to eat now.

Yi Yi said it's okay, if you can't finish eating, just pack it up.

I said yes, let's shake off the shoulders and eat.

Yi also responded positively to me.After getting along with him for a few times, I have become more familiar with Yi Yi. I am not as alienated as I was when I treated him as a stranger at the beginning. Now I should be able to call him a friend.

Although they are not unfamiliar, we just had a few simple polite words during the dinner, just like the words that neighbors in the neighborhood are used to asking when they meet and greet each other.

When he was about to finish eating, Yi Yi's cell phone rang, and after he answered it, I heard him say, "What? Are you coming back today? Didn't Dad tell me next week?"

"Ha, Dad found a new girlfriend?!"

"Ah! You made people's stomachs bigger?!"

"All right, all right, I'll be there right away, you wait for me in the airport lobby."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell me when my brother came back. He's at the airport now, and I'm going to pick him up."

I said it's okay, you go, I just drove today.

Yi Yi said again that he was sorry.

I said again that it's okay, and I'm going to finish eating anyway.

Before dinner, I was packing things in the room, and I heard my mother shouting outside, "Stop singing! I can't even hear the TV."

My dad has a special preference when he poops. He likes to listen to songs, but listening to them is not enough, and he has to sing along with the way of roaring. I guess he does this for laxative.

Recently, the TV station that broadcast the soap opera "I don't know who the hero's mother is" has gone crazy, and started to broadcast Thai dramas in turn. My mother and dad also watched crazy monsters. I was in front of the TV all day, tirelessly studying the next plot. .

I'm going back to the neighboring city after dinner.

When the car was driving halfway, the phone rang, and because I was driving, I picked it up without looking carefully.

"Are you still home?" Yi Yi asked over there.

I turned on the speakerphone on my phone and put it beside me, and there was a "hmm".

Yi Yi asked again: "Where are you driving?"

I said, "Yeah, what's the matter with you?" It felt strange to ask this way, but I couldn't think of the nine bends and eighteen bends to ask Qing Yiyi's purpose for making this call.

Yi Yi was quiet for two seconds, and then said: "...I just have something I want to give you."

I asked him, "What?"

Yi Yi probably thought that I didn't hear clearly, so he repeated again: "I said I have something to give you."

Me: "I want to ask what you want to give me."

Yi Yi's tone suddenly became twitchy, "Is there... Is there anyone like you? I told you, is there any surprise?"

I smiled unconsciously: "You were the first to say that you wanted to give me something, so I can only follow along and ask, otherwise what else can I say."

Yi also said, "Okay, okay." "

Then he said: "It's okay, I'll give it to you when I go to your place again, or I can give it to you when you go home next time."

I said yes.

After Yi Yi told me to drive more carefully, I hung up the phone.

When passing the red light, I turned on the radio, and it happened to be a very familiar melody, which was the harmonica song I heard on the Yiyi car that day.

Because there is only one traffic light for almost 500 meters on this road, the dilapidated mood unknowingly improved a lot.
