you are so tender

Xu Man drove into the parking lot and glanced at the dashboard before getting out of the car. The time was 18:15.Walking into the grand and splendid Harbor City, Xu Man went to the service desk first.The receptionist immediately asked, "Do you have a reservation?" Xu Man reported the name of the private room, and the receptionist checked it and said, "Brother Yong booked it, both of you. Is that right?"

"That's right." Xu Man asked again: "Please check for me, did you order?"

"Oh. Brother Yong has already ordered the menu. Please go to the third floor, and the waiter will take you to the private room." The receptionist said.

"Let me buy the bill first. Is Alipay okay?" Xu Man asked.

"Yes. Wechat and Alipay are both acceptable." The receptionist replied.

Xu Man paid the bill and took the elevator to the third floor.She asked the attendant to give directions, but declined to accompany her.There is a tea room attached to the private room, and the waiter is waiting there.Seeing Xu Man approaching, he opened the door for her.Tian Xiaoyong had already been waiting, and immediately got up to greet him.After the two sat down, Tian Xiaoyong ordered the waiter to start serving the dishes.

"I've been busy all day today, so I'm really hungry. Brother Yong, I'm not being polite to you. Can we wait until I'm half full to talk about the topic?" Xu Man said.

"No problem. Eat first, and I don't have anything special to say, as long as you understand what I mean." Tian Xiaoyong's face was a little rosy.

After a while, the dishes are ready.Tian Xiaoyong did not go too far, but chose four dishes and one soup. "It's just the two of us. We didn't dare to order too much. Do you think it's enough? Let's order if it's not enough." Tian Xiaoyong asked.

"I'm afraid the usual words are too much. Today I want to eat more, but it's enough, so I don't need to call anymore." After Xu Man finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and took a photo. This action made Tian Xiaoyong very happy . "I sent it to Xiaohui to make her envious. Brother Yong, are you too partial? Just invite me alone, you are not afraid that Xiaohui will be unhappy." Xu Man said.

"It's different now. Next time I invite you to dinner together, I just apologize to her." Tian Xiaoyong said briskly.He felt that Xu Man deliberately brought his cousin in and talked about it, invisibly shortening the distance between her and himself.

"Brother Yong, what will your daughter do if you go out to eat alone?" Xu Man asked again.

"Someone took care of her. My cousin works in a supermarket near my house and lives with me, helping me take care of my daughter." Tian Xiaoyong explained.

At this time, the mobile phone sent out a message, and Xu Man opened it to see that it was Tian Xiaohui's private message: "Xu Man, don't patronize eating, it's important to get down to business." Xu Man smiled and said to Tian Xiaoyong: "Your cousin told me not to mess around. Eat and drink." But she didn't tell Tian Xiaoyong the second sentence.

"Don't listen to her, it's none of her business." Tian Xiaoyong obviously put Xu Man in a more important position than his cousin.

Xu Man drank a cup of stewed soup and ate another bowl of rice. He felt that he was already more than half full, so he decided to rein in the precipice. "Brother Yong, are you planning to marry me?" Xu Man started the dinner with a straightforward question.

Xu Man was so straightforward, completely beyond Tian Xiaoyong's expectation.He was speechless for a while, his face flushed, and he didn't know how to respond.Xu Man didn't help him out, like a cold examiner, sitting motionless waiting for the answer.

"I..." Tian Xiaoyong was instantly reduced to a person applying for industrial and commercial registration, and had to answer official inquiries. "How dare I marry you. I just want to find a chance to associate with you and see if it is possible in the future..."

"Oh. That's it." Xu Man said calmly, "Brother Yong, that means there is still time to brake."

Hearing this sentence, Tian Xiaoyong felt a chill in his heart.He remembered that his cousin had warned him not to hide his love for Xu Man.He felt that the "Call of Love" he delivered yesterday was direct enough and explicit enough.If he hadn't been thinking about it day and night, how could he be such an uncle, how could he do such childish and old-fashioned things?But at this moment, in front of the goddess, he dared not admit that he wanted to marry her.He was still too hypocritical and too concerned about face, and he didn't really understand the spirit of his cousin's words.

"I... don't want to brake." The flustered Tian Xiaoyong said without hesitation, but he was honest.

"Oh. Suppose Brother Yong is driving to a place you want to go, you definitely don't want to brake. But if you encounter a red light, and it will never turn into a green light, don't you have to brake?" Xu Man responded as follows flow.

"Xu Man, how can you be sure that the red light will not turn into a green light?" Tian Xiaoyong stubbornly resisted.

"If I were you, of course I can't be sure. But I am the red light itself. I know myself too well, and I will send such a reminder to any driver with my true colors." Xu Man said.

"However, love requires understanding." Tian Xiaoyong was in a panic.

"You are wrong, Brother Yong. Love is like power, you either have it or you don't. After you understand it, you will realize that love is not something you get, but a kind of existence. Please forgive my abruptness, Brother Yong, you fell in love with you back then Is it because you understand her ex-wife?" Xu Man asked.

"But you don't understand me." Tian Xiaoyong became delirious.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yong. I don't need to know you, although I don't refuse to understand each other better in normal communication. If I love someone, I will try to understand her as much as possible, not to discover the love that doesn't exist, but to Love her better. Frankly speaking, Brother Yong, I don’t love you. It’s not your fault, and I don’t need to take responsibility for it. Of course, I am very grateful for Brother Yong’s kindness. But we have to live up to each other , I hope Brother Yong will stop here."

"Xu Man, do I really have no chance at all?" Tian Xiaoyong almost begged.

"Brother Yong, thank you for your dinner. I'm full too. Xu Man will leave first, please Brother Yong." After Xu Man finished speaking, he got up and left the private room, leaving Tian Xiaoyong in a daze.

Tian Xiaoyong didn't know what kind of changes his face would undergo in the next ten minutes, let alone the mixed feelings in his heart.His whole body fell into regret.However, he neither regretted the palpitations of the fleeting images on New Year's Eve, nor regretted that he didn't have enough homework to rush into battle, or even sighed and failed to say I love you out loud.no.neither.Tian Xiaoyong just felt that he knew that Luohua wanted to be ruthless, but he said the last sentence without any shame.And it was that sentence that made him feel that he had lost all his face and lost the last dignity of a man.Because when he had no choice but to say that sentence, Xu Man didn't even bother to answer, and was too stingy to even make a perfunctory gesture like reiterating his position.Instead, I did my own thing and thanked me for my dinner—is it possible that I, Tian Xiaoyong, are paying for a meal?

"Pay the bill!" Tian Xiaoyong stood up angrily and shouted.

"Brother Yong, the order has already been bought." The waiter replied.

Tian Xiaoyong fell back to his seat all of a sudden, this must be the moment when his expression became the most embarrassing.Like all men who can't face life calmly, he has already changed positions before paying the bill, turning an ordinary disappointment in life into the rudeness and meanness of others.Xu Man paid for the meal, although she didn't pay for Tian Xiaoyong's disappointment, at least it showed her generosity, and she even implied a little pity for him because he was Tian Xiaohui's cousin.But Tian Xiaoyong didn't think so, he judged Xu Man's arrogance without hesitation, as if he had suffered a great shame.Tian Xiaoyong finally woke up from his sleepless sleep, and Xu Man disappeared without a trace from his love, as if he had never appeared before.In any case, Xu Man successfully said no, in a way she thought was appropriate.She didn't know, and didn't care, how Tian Xiaoyong got out of this completely failed confession.It will take a few more days for Tian Xiaoyong to vent his anger.Of course, he didn't want to see Xu Man again, so it was his innocent cousin Tian Xiaohui who was punished on behalf of others.

It was only after Xu Man came home that she realized that Tian Xiaohui had no intention of cooking at all, so she walked out of the hospital after get off work and ate a set meal at KFC at the gate.Xu Man hurriedly sat down and reported to Tian Xiaohui, and knew that she would not be satisfied with the ending.

"Xiaohui, I'm so smart tonight!" Xu Man said, "I'm afraid that I'll show my hole card when I come up, spoil the appetite of two people, and waste a seafood meal in vain. So I ask Brother Yong to wait until he's full. But it might make him even more upset."

"I was still thinking that maybe you and Xiaoyong would find out with a conscience, pack me a bag and bring it back, and let me have a bite too. It seems that I am being self-indulgent." Tian Xiaohui said.

"Xiaohui, are you so greedy?" Xu Man teased, "Your cousin is coming to the city, I don't have the heart to pack it for you. Besides, who knows that you are so lazy, you don't cook alone."

"Okay. I'm joking. Xu Man, tell me quickly, how did Xiaoyong confess his love to you?" Tian Xiaohui asked.

"I didn't let him confess." Xu Man replied.

"What? Xu Man, you won't just pat your butt and leave after you're full, right?" Tian Xiaohui asked in surprise.

"That's not it. If that's the case, how can Brother Yong let it go? Why don't you invite me to dinner every three days. Don't make yourself poor if someone doesn't get it." Xu Man laughed.

"What are you guys talking about?" Tian Xiaohui was anxious.

"I confessed to him." Xu Man said.

"Ah! Are you courting death? What are you confessing to?" Tian Xiaohui became even more anxious.

"What are you in a hurry for? Let me tell you slowly." Xu Man started from how she asked Tian Xiaoyong questions, how she compared green lights to red lights and red lights to stop forever, and how to say that love or not has little to do with understanding or not understanding. , until finally telling the sufferer that she has no possibility with him.Xu Man narrated it almost word for word.After listening, Tian Xiaohui said: "Now we can get rid of Xiaoyong. Xu Man, I was a little worried before. After all, Xiaoyong is my cousin. I can't blame him when he fell in love with you at first sight. You are as beautiful as you are." With your beautiful appearance, graceful and elegant figure, and extraordinary wit in conversation, I won’t be surprised by any man who falls in love with you. I even think that I should be worried that such a beautiful woman is running around in a society full of smoldering smoke! But I always You can't be kept in a deep boudoir without anyone knowing it? Of course, if you ask me to give it up, I won't do it. Besides, it's not a question of whether I let you go or not. Xu Man, after listening to your detailed report, I found that your way of retreating from the enemy The technique is really Xuman, and it is very appropriate. You have fulfilled your mission in defending your home and country, how can I reward you tonight?"

"That depends on how you behaved at that time?" Xu Man said.

"When is it?"

"You know when. But I'm worried that you didn't eat well tonight, so you won't be out of energy by then?"

"Xu Man, I want to know that if you solve the problem so quickly, you will definitely make a good meal."

"In that case, you are the one who should be rewarded. Let's go, Xiao Hui, I'll take you to supper, I'll treat you."

"Let's go to Lihe. Let's go to the mall and buy me a pair of shoes. Will you?"

"Okay. But only shoes are allowed, not clothes."

"Xu Man, you won't be so stingy, will you? What if you see the clothes you like?"

"You are not allowed to buy it if you look at it. You have been asked to try Taobao a long time ago, but you always refuse."

"What should I do if I buy clothes online that don't fit?"

"If it's not suitable, you can return it, it's very easy."

"Buying clothes online, I can't try them on, and I don't know my size. I don't think so."

"Xiaohui, you don't understand the benefits of online shopping. Let me tell you, you can go shopping all over the motherland without leaving home, and you can buy clothes wherever they are good. As for the size, you don't have to worry about it at all. Buying clothes in a physical store is not easy. Just try it out and buy it when it fits. Next time you buy clothes, you still don’t know the size. You only need to buy clothes from online stores. You don’t need to buy too many clothes. After two or three times, you will know your body size like the back of your hand. It can be said that online shopping promotes It has given the majority of women a deep understanding of their own bodies. Besides, I know your size, and I will help you shop online. I am afraid that after a few purchases, you will not be able to resist being shirtless."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to buy clothes from now on. What about the shoes?" Tian Xiaohui asked.

"It's best to buy shoes from a physical store. Because only the feet know whether the shoes fit or not, and I don't know either. Xiaohui, let's go." Xu Man said.
