Failed to keep distance from rival

Chi said that there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She looked at the man sitting across from him who was in a tense state of mind. The tip of her index finger tapped lightly and rhythmically on the table, drowning out the cicada cries outside the shop. middle.

In mid-June, summer arrived as expected.

Chi said that she never thought that her mother would turn into a living person, which is an extremely difficult magic trick—the one sitting opposite her was her mother, but when she came back from the toilet, the opposite became her second blind date this year object.

"Mr. Li, I don't know if my mother told you that although my salary is not high, my consumption is quite high."

"How much is your monthly salary? Can you buy me a five-figure bag every month?"

"What's more, I took the driver's license test when I was in college, but I have never had my own car. If we are together, would you consider buying me one?"

Mr. Li's eyes were a little dodgy, because he was nervous, he wiped his sweat with his handkerchief, and took a drink of water from the table.

He looked directly into Chi Shuo's bright eyes, and asked solemnly: "Ling Tang never told me about such a situation, and I don't believe that Miss Chi would be that kind of person."

When Chi Shuo heard that the movement of his fingertips stopped, his brows raised slightly, and his tone was light: "What kind?"

Mr. Li didn't choose to answer, he changed the topic: "I can buy you some gifts every month, but girls should not blindly pursue luxury brands." He shook his head with a serious face, "It's not good."

Chi said that her hands were crossed and her elbows were resting on the table, her eyes were searching, and she asked, "I can understand that you can't afford it, can you?"

Mr. Li frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chi said, waving his hands, and stood up: "It's nothing interesting, I'll go to pay the bill."

She picked up the bag she put aside and wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly remembered that there was still a play to be performed.

As if possessed by a playwright, Chi Shuo frowned slightly in the next second, looking at the bag in his hand, lost in memory: "This bag was bought for me by my ex-boyfriend. He had just graduated and spent three month's salary." She rubbed her fingertips on the bag, and added softly, "It takes three months to buy one for me, it's too slow."

Mr. Li was stunned staring at the logo on the bag, and Chi Shuo raised the corners of his mouth again. She took one last look at the opponent's hand, suppressed her desire to vomit, and made a final kill: "Li Please tell my mother, sir, I don't go on blind dates with people with dirt on their fingernails."

"you……!"

What else did Mr. Li say, Chi Shuo couldn't hear clearly, she had already walked away from the table where she was trying to control her emotions.

Weird, her mother found her another weird blind date.

The last one was three months ago, and I wanted to show her talent when we met, so before Chi Shuo refused, he recited "Pipa Xing" for Chi Shuo, and said that if possible, he could also recite "Song of Everlasting Regret" and "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" The Road to Shu is Difficult" and other long poems and songs that cause headaches for most people.

Chi said:  …

And the collar of the white shirt worn by Mr. Li has turned yellow and faded, not because he has worn it for a long time. Chi said that he can conclude that he has not washed it at all. In addition, the handkerchief he used has many small balls. Seeing that Chi said his scalp was numb.

What made Chi Shuo even more unbearable was that he had not-so-short nails, and the nails were still full of dirt.

Chi said she didn't have a cleanliness obsession, but seeing this made her want to spit it out on the spot.

She suspected that she was affected by the weather in early summer, otherwise why would she feel so irritable.

And Chi said that he understood very deeply that he had vented his anger on Mr. Li; but she also understood herself better, and it was not her fault.

If Mr. Li and her mother hadn't come to this performance together, would she have such ups and downs in her heart?

No one can make her do things she doesn't like, not even her mother.

She didn't have any news about this blind date in advance, and it was her best effort to keep smiling when she returned to the table and saw this scene.

It wasn't until he left the store that Chi said he realized that he hadn't even eaten a bite of his lunch.

Today is Friday, and it is lunch break time. She thought that her mother came to find her for lunch because she was bored and wanted her company, but the ending surprised her.

Chi said that he couldn't help thinking about it again, and suddenly lost his appetite for food, so he took a taxi back to the office building where the company is located.

The weather outside is far from hot, but the sun is already a bit overwhelming.

Chi said that she was extremely afraid of the heat, and she forgot to bring a sun umbrella when she went out, and the place where she got off was still some distance from the gate, so she had to trot into the office building.

The less time she spends in the sun, the less uncomfortable she will be.

The air conditioner in the lobby was working all the time, Chi said he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his pace.

The daily flow of people in this office building is the largest only during the working hours, and the customers that all companies make appointments basically come at this time. It is now noon, and there are only a dozen or so people in sight.

"Tell me!"

But Chi said that before she reached the elevator, she heard Xia Zhou's voice behind her.

Xia Zhou and her are in the same company, but in different departments. They have worked together for more than a year. In addition, because there are many places where work is handed over, the two have to be close, and the relationship has developed from ordinary colleagues to friends.

Xia Zhou likes to wear a ponytail, and today is no exception. He even wore a clip on his head, and ran towards Chi Shuo bouncing and jumping all the way.

Chi said that he bent his lips, and when she was beside him, he asked, "You came to the company so early today?"

It's almost 01:30 now, and their lunch break is two hours. Whether it's morning or noon in Xia Zhou, they usually come to the company early. Chi said that he rarely met her in advance.

"Fortunately, I don't have any appetite to eat recently." Xia Zhou pointed to his left cheek, and said helplessly, "I had my wisdom teeth pulled out two days ago, and it's not like you don't know about it."

Chi said that he walked to the elevator with her, and asked, "How much weight have you lost?"

"Two kilograms."

At the beginning, Xia Zhou said that she wanted to lose weight by pulling out her wisdom teeth. Thinking of this, Chi said that she couldn’t help but tease her: “One wisdom tooth weighs two catties. If you pull out two more, you will lose almost six catties. The weight loss goal has been achieved. .”

Xia Zhou raised his hand as if he was going to hit her: "Skinny is amazing!"

Chi said that the height of 1.6 meters 93 is only [-] catties, which is already on the thin side.

Chi said quickly shook his head: "No." She followed up unhurriedly, "It's just that I'm a little more remarkable than you."

Xia Zhou: "I won't be able to control my hand anytime soon."

That's what he said, but Xia Zhou withdrew his hand and began to gossip: "You sent a message on the road saying that your mother lied to you, what's going on?"

He still looked weak just now, but once he turned on the gossip mode, Xia Zhou's eyes changed.

Chi said that recalling this made him feel bad, and just as he was about to say something, the elevator had already reached the first floor and opened.

She suppressed her expression, and raised her chin towards the elevator: "Let's talk when we go up."

"Okay." Xia Zhou nodded and became serious.

Enter the elevator and press the floor.

Chi said that he stood up straight and waited for the others to go out with a calm face.

Xinyue Company, where only she and Xia Zhou are in the elevator now, has the highest floor, on the 25th floor.

Xia Zhou was also very quiet on the sidelines, but when the last person left the 19th floor, she immediately revealed her original shape and asked Chi Shuo, "So, you were supposed to go to see your mother at noon today, but in the end Have you been forced to go on a blind date?"

The topic was still going on, Chi Shuo rubbed her eyelids, and her sleepiness swept over her.

She nodded slightly, her voice was a little low, but she could hear it clearly in the narrow elevator.She replied: "Yes... It's like being tied up by my mother to go on a blind date."

Just after saying this, the elevator stopped on the 23rd floor and someone came in.

Xia Zhou didn't care about this at all, and continued to ask Chi with his head sideways, "How is that man? Compared with the one who memorized "Pipa Xing" on your last blind date? Is it any better?"

Chi said that he pursed his lips and didn't respond. He just turned his head and gave her a wink before saying, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Ah? You won't meet another wonderful blind date this time, will you?"

"..." Chi said that his eyes revealed a feeling of disregarding life and death.

Xia Zhou turned his head belatedly, only to realize that the newcomer was... He Lindi.

Xia Zhou's reaction speed was extremely fast. She immediately raised her hand, pretending to stroke her ponytail naturally, and then picked up her mobile phone to pretend to make a call: "Your mother is really... hey! You are going to work ?Ok, bye."

Chi said that he was so embarrassed by her poor acting skills that his eyelids twitched. He was calm on the surface, but he lit a candle for himself in his heart.

Good luck.

She tried her best not to squint, but she kept focusing on He Lindi from the corner of her eye.

He Lindi was standing in front of them, with his back to them, wearing a beige long dress, with a head of smooth hair hanging behind his head, because the distance was so close, he could clearly see the highlights in the black hair. strands of blue hair.

Chi said that he knew that this was He Lindi's highlighter last weekend, but this was the first time she saw it, and she knew that other colleagues saw the news and told her.

"Tell me, my friend's mother is really..."

The elevator soon arrived at the 25th floor. Xia Zhou adhered to the principle of "send the Buddha to the west to perform the play to the end", and when he got out of the elevator, he was still pretending to gossip with Chi.

Chi said that her head was getting dizzy when she heard it, and she felt her back was sweating when she walked out of the elevator.

Holding her last hope as she walked, she asked Xia Zhou who was still applauding her acting skills, "Did He Lindi hear what you asked me?"

"I think……"

Xia Zhou smiled and didn't continue, Chi said that he understood what she meant.

The anger of being cheated into a blind date incident has all been transformed into He Lindi's embarrassment when he heard the content, Chi Shuo frowned slightly, and entered the company with a sullen face.

It is only 01:30 now, and the colleagues in the company are basically not working.

The curtains have been drawn, and the temperature of the air conditioner in the room is just right.

Some are sleeping on the table, some are playing mobile games, and some are browsing Weibo to watch certain music.Fortunately, everyone wore headphones, and there was no sound released.

Chi said and Xia Zhou also relaxed their steps and turned on the silent mode.

After returning to his seat, Chi said he put down his bag, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.

In just one noon, she was so tired.

Within a few seconds, a soft and low voice came from beside her: "Tell me."

Chi said that his eyelashes fluttered, he tilted his head, and said "Huh?" in a nasal voice.

Zeng Guai asked curiously: "You were tricked into going on a blind date by your mother at noon today?"

Chi said that he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked in the direction where Xia Zhou was sitting. As if he had sensed her gaze, Xia Zhou smiled and shook his phone at her.

Chi said: "..."

Chi said he had no choice but to answer: "Yes."

She shouldn't have told Xia Zhou, maybe the whole company knew about it by now.

Zeng obediently reached out his hand, stroked Chi Shuo's hair, and comforted him: "We don't gossip so fast, don't worry."

Chi said with a sigh, and the next second she was on the phone on the table, a WeChat notification popped up.

It was her college classmate who happened to be working in the company where He Lindi worked upstairs, and the message he sent was asking her whether the blind date was true or not.

Chi said his eyebrows twitched, and his attention was drawn to him. She slapped Zeng Guai's arm away, and just as she was about to reply, a new message popped up on WeChat: [He Lindi also knows, she was still smiling just now. Let me express my sympathy to you. 】

The word "laugh" is the essence of the whole article.

Chi said: […]

She thought again of the scene in the elevator a few minutes ago.

Chi said: [Remember to burn paper for me today next year, 88. 】
