I'm in Delingha tonight

After the lunch break, Lian Shiyu, who was sleeping late due to a cold, came late.Chi Nian was arrested by Tao Zi as a coolie, and Lian Shiyu showed a sympathetic expression after hearing his reason for wanting to take over.

"This is the fourth time this month..." She blinked her big eyes that were comparable to Zhao Wei, "Xiao Chi, thank you for your hard work."

Chi Nian raised his forehead, and said helplessly, "I can't help it, serve the boss."

He helped Lian Shiyu lead the students all morning, and of course the other party also promised to help him.Lian Shiyu expressed infinite pity for what happened to him, but Chi Nian didn't think so, he was quite happy.

Just like watching a play, you can still skip work, but you can't say this to Tao Zi.

Around two o'clock, Tao Zi drove him to the appointment.

For Tao Zi, blind dates are mostly endless until she gets married.

She has just turned 26 years old, neither young nor an embarrassing age for a leftover woman. Her parents are always more anxious than her about major marriage matters.

Tao Zi's parents are both civil servants within the system, and they didn't like to worry about her in the early years. They thought that her daughter was beautiful and an art teacher, so it was reasonable to find a good home.But they didn't expect that Tao Zi was 26 years old and didn't want to get married yet. They started to panic and worried about Tao Zi every day.

Especially Mother Tao, she retired from illness two years ago, and the only major thing in her life now is to quickly find a boyfriend for Tao Zi.She wandered around the blind date market all day long, going to anyone she saw, Tao Zi made a fuss once, and the frequency decreased——

But Chi Nian didn't think it was "low".

Counting the one who hasn't met this afternoon, this is the fourth time since he came to Chongqing.

"I was so pissed off by the old lady." Tao Zi drove, her mouth not idle, "I just saw one last week, and now it's coming again! The shadow of that person before has not disappeared, and I don't know how much this one is. Wonderful."

Chi Nian laughed when he thought about it: "Did the old lady just stare at your 'rich' request last time?"

Tao Zi was even angrier: "I said it on purpose so that she couldn't find it! Rich, handsome, good-natured and gentle, and doesn't interfere with my private space, how could she understand the first one."

"It's probably guessed that you don't want to go on a blind date at all."

"Yeah, I had a fight after I got back, so I introduced another one with guilt." Tao Zi complained, and couldn't help laughing angrily, "I really want to cry!"

In August, Tao Zi was probably caused by Mercury retrograde, and she went on three blind dates in succession, not to mention seeing each other, and none of them were even willing to have an extra meal.

The first one is a standard straight man with cancer. That night, he began to look forward to the future and who will do the housework after marriage; the second one is a tall man with a doctorate from a prestigious school. Seeing several girls, they picked and picked, and bid farewell to him; the third one, Chi Nian, met him, and she couldn't do anything she wanted, and was so poor that he only had money left.

Fourth, I don't know what the ending will be.

But Wan looked at his face first, and Chi Nian asked with interest: "Didn't Auntie give you a photo?"

"The other party didn't give it to me. I think he's probably not willing to go on a blind date. If it's like this, that's the best. Let's break up at once." Tao Zi said tiredly, "If it wasn't for the son of my mother's old best friend, I would have directly refused."

"How are people?"

"Who knows! My mother blows him up like no other, 27 years old is my age, young entrepreneur, tall and handsome, and loves art..."

"Sounds great, senior!" Chi Nian gossiped, "I'll see you soon."

Tao Zi: "That's the truth...but from your point of view, is there a high probability that such a person will be as straight as a steel pipe?"

Chi Nian: "...that's what you said."

Tao Zi said meaningfully: "That's why I'm going to take you to meet people. If my mother really says it's so good, I'll introduce it to you, and we'll be able to count as a fortune."

Chi Nian laughed until his stomach ached: "No need."

Tao Zi nodded politely: "It's okay, this is what I should do."

"No need." Chi Nian refused again.

Tao Zi glanced at him, as if she already understood his other difficulties.

This attitude, either you have someone you like, or your vision is too high, you can't force it.Tao Zi thought so, and comforted him: "Nian Nian, don't think so much, there will be bread and love."

"You worry about yourself first." Chi Nian retorted.

There are indeed people he likes, but Chi Nian never talks about it because it's unrealistic.Tao Zi never asked him about his experience in Qinghai, so the acquaintance with Xi Shan became a matter of course and became his only thought.

Blind date...

However, this person's conditions are quite similar to Xi Shan's, both are 27 years old.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen Xi Shan, Chi Nian has already started to miss some corners, he feels ridiculous, but he can't help thinking in his mind, will Xi Shan also go on a blind date?

He couldn't imagine Xi Shan's blind date at all.

Just sitting face to face with a girl made Chi Nian feel embarrassed for him.

The last time I made a direct appointment with AA, Tao Zi basically took Chi Nian to have a meal.She explained to the man that Chi Nian was her younger brother, and she thought that anyway, she didn't know him and didn't develop, so she would pull him down after eating.

This time the blind date was a little bit more tasteful than the last time, so the woman was not allowed to choose to be afraid, so she ordered a sky? bar for afternoon tea, and probably followed the route of "talking and then eating and watching a movie".After learning the name of the restaurant, Xia Yaning exclaimed, "It's so hard to get a reservation for this restaurant", it's a well-known internet celebrity restaurant.

Regardless of whether the matter is successful or not, the other party has clearly expressed sincerity, which makes it difficult for Tao Zi to refuse directly.

After all, it involves the friendship of her parents. While waiting for the elevator, Tao Zi began to confess to Chi Nian: "It's fine if you like him for a while. If I don't like him, just tell him that you are my prospective boyfriend. Let He went back and sent a message to the aunts, trying to avoid future troubles."

Chi Nian made an "OK" gesture: "Understood."

"I won't touch you, and I won't lean on you. Don't worry about that. But when others look at you, you should be smarter. Remember to take care of me, understand?"

Chi Nian patted Tao Zi on the shoulder carelessly: "I promise to complete the tasks assigned by the organization."

Just as the elevator arrived, the two of them walked in and stood up. She took out her mobile phone to check the time so that she would not be late, and promised Chi Nianxian a benefit: "If it is successfully completed, the organization will reward you with three days off."

"Ah, this...isn't that good." Chi Nian said sincerely, "Just give me the money."

Tao Zi laughed and scolded "little villain".

We arrived at the 42nd floor soon. We first passed a private gym, and then saw the signboard of the restaurant.As Xia Yaning said, there are still many people waiting for a seat outside, many people choose to leave when they see the queue and overcrowding, Chi Nian feels that he has not been to such an occasion for a long time.

Simple decoration, bright lighting, and there are men and women coming and going.

In his world since he broke up with love, Beijing is gray in the morning, Qinghai is purple at sunset, and Chongqing is blue when the fog has just cleared.Wrapped in all the color blocks, he was trapped in a small world alone, far away from all the excitement.

The studio is quiet and simple, and the dessert shop now is closer to his star-studded and lavish past, playing outside every day, board game bar, private restaurant, internet celebrity coffee shop - Chi Nian can't count the last time When is it time to gather in a similar place with the group of "ignorant" hair boys?

The waitress with a warm smile asked Tao Zi at the door: "Hi, do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, wait a minute." Tao Zi took out her mobile phone, flipped through the short chat records with her "blind date", and read out the table number sent by the other party, "No. 23, surname...Zhu."

Hearing that strange surname, Chi Nian's heart twitched violently, and then completely calmed down.

That said, not all handsome 27-year-old Chongqing men who love art are called Xi Shan.The unfounded imagination in his mind was shattered, and Chi Nian was glad, but also a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Xi Shan doesn't know how to go on blind dates.

Disappointed that I am far away from seeing him again.

The restaurant has a hemispherical glass roof. After the dog days, the sunshine in Chongqing is still hot, but the air conditioner in the restaurant is fully turned on, and many people even wear coats.

Walking all the way in, the modern style of white and gray main colors has a cold metallic feel. In the place where Kaws' iconic doll sculptures are placed, many well-dressed girls pose for pictures.The Chongqing girls are indeed beautiful, but unfortunately Chi Nian is not interested in them, so he hastily lowered his head when he saw one or two playful looks.

Table No. 23 is a four-seater, facing the window. When the waiter brought them to their seats, no one was waiting. There was only a solitary number plate lying across the marble-textured tabletop.

"Mr. Zhu seems to have not arrived yet." The waiter said apologetically, "Do you two want to order first or..."

Tao Zi put down her handbag indifferently: "We'll wait for him to come before ordering."

The waiter nodded and went on to do other things.

At this time, there were still four and a half minutes before the three o'clock appointment, Tao Zi chose a seat outside, sat comfortably, brushed her hair and chatted with Chi Nian: "It's really nice, the environment here is pretty good. "

The glass window covering the entire exterior wall has a great view, Chi Nian didn't express his opinion, but looked down at the exquisite French desserts on the menu.

"Oh, my makeup looks messy!" Tao Zi took out a small mirror from her handbag, looked at it, stood up after thinking for a while, "I'll go to the bathroom, and touch up my makeup by the way, to show respect."

Chi Nian panicked: "What should I do when someone arrives later?"

"Play it."

"How do I know if you like him or not?"

Tao Zi ignored his entanglement: "Then you tell him first that I'm a bit busy... I'll fix my makeup soon, maybe he hasn't arrived when I come back."

Chi Nian said that would be the best, and watched Tao Zi briskly walk outside.

He sighed, Tao Zi was not there, Chi Nian became nervous for no reason, and turned over the order list countless times at a glance, trying to alleviate the mysterious illusion of "how did the blind date become me".

Time passed quietly.

The sound of footsteps was drowned out in the surrounding conversation, and Chi Nian was still staring at the signature dessert at the top in a daze, not noticing that the chair opposite was pulled away.The moment the stranger was about to sit down, he was startled, but before he could raise his head, he heard an unusually familiar, deep voice.

"Sorry, I'm a little late...Huh?"

Chi Nian met the man's gaze, pre-conditioned reflex, followed by "Hey": "Why are you?!"

Xi Shan froze in mid-air.

"Why me..." He seemed not to understand Chi Nian's words, and asked, "Why you?"
