REMIX

Autumn and winter come and everything rests, but the people around me seem to collectively burst out with passion for love in this short season as short as the neck.

I heard that someone introduced Xia Du to a blind date.

When I heard the breaking news, I was still climbing up and down the tally in the library, labeling the new books, scanning the codes and sorting them, and returning the books that were randomly placed in sequence.

When the work was done, I dusted off my hands and sat down on the ladder idly.On one side are glass windows shaded by swaying trees, and on the other side are rows of bookshelves, some of which have not been filled with books, like mouths without teeth.

I read the message I received again as if obsessive-compulsive, jumped off and ran.

After a long journey home, I found that Auntie Lizi was also there. She was helping Xia Jie choose the right clothes. She threw her handbag on the coffee table and called me without turning around, "Xiaoxi, you are back! Your mother is going Dating, you know that!"

"...just found out."

Holding on to the doorknob to catch my breath, I waved my hand in the air, trying to attract Xia Jie's attention, "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier."

"Tell you what to do."

Contrary to Aunt Lizi's full drive, my mother stood beside her with a lack of interest, her black hair was rough, her legs were long, and she held a half-burned cigarette between her fingers. She laughed and said, "Ms. Li , Is it yours or mine?"

"Who else can you have?"

Auntie Lizi threw the two sets of clothes on her body for her to choose, and when she saw her irrelevant virtue, she became very angry, "I said you should stop doing it, ah, let alone others You made a special trip here to ask for your contact information, and it’s not so ugly that people will lose your life just by looking at it, what’s wrong with you going to meet me this weekend? How about a piece of your meat?”

Xia Jie muttered: "...wasting my great youth."

"Hey, you're still young. My eldest sister, I hope you will be more honest."

"You are the eldest sister!"

I hurriedly stepped between the two elder sisters, stopped a war of age among women, and said, "I'll go with you."

She didn't look at me, went back to the room to change clothes, and said loudly behind the half-open door of the closet, "Well, I just want you to accompany me."

Aunt Lizi jumped up, "Why are you taking Xiaoxi?!"

"Tell people that I have a son." My mother said, "It will save me from saying that I brought a large piece of real estate to cheat the marriage."

She did it on purpose.

I know that she never expects a successful blind date at all, and she usually agrees to go because she doesn't want to take away people's kindness. No one can accept a woman like her in her 30s with a non-biological child without any grievances.Because being with her means sharing all the responsibilities of raising my son with her, including financial and marital difficulties.

If she wants to meet a man who is not outrageous in every way, unless she meets her destined true love on the street—the probability is greater than or equal to being proposed by a prince riding a white horse on his knees.

No one stipulates that a woman who is no longer young is not allowed to be romantic.But her longing for love for many years has been exhausted by the troubled life, and now it is unrealistic to talk about love, marriage, husband and children with her.

She would say why get married, how real it is for me to be a rich woman!

After speaking, he looked at me as if he was looking for empathy.I nodded yes.

Little did I know that what I didn't want to see was that she was forced by the situation, listened to the kind "advice", and married a down-to-earth person who didn't love. This was more terrifying than being single.

However, due to the pressure of public opinion, the form still has to go.Xia Jie and I went to the place chosen by the other party, a restaurant with a famous Italian cuisine, the environment is elegant, the waiters are all maids in black skirts, walking gracefully and silently, white tableware and lilies are placed in the center of the table.

I asked her, are you nervous?

She took a sip of rose tea and said, she was so nervous, she wasn't on a blind date with Daniel Wu.

Ms. Xia is really in a good mood.

I sat with her for a long while, refilled the cup of rose tea, and checked the watch. It was just 5 minutes before the appointment time, and a man wearing glasses opened the door and came in.

He didn't move too much, for fear of bumping into the waiter who was walking quickly in the aisle when he opened the door, he took two steps, and then retreated to the silver decorative wall in the restaurant that can be used as a mirror, and sorted out his description.

He obviously came prepared, omitting the perplexing patrol, with a clear goal, but he couldn't guard against my face.

My eyes are wide open, like a fish thrown onto the chopping board, full of sluggishness that is difficult to adapt to the impermanent fate.

Zhou Jingyang?

Xia Jie's expression was as if he was in broad daylight.

"It's you?!"

Or, the fact that the blind date is Zhou Jingyang is a bit out of line for her.

"...I can explain."

He first stretched out his hands in a gesture of surrender, and finally took off his glasses and rubbed his temples with his fingers, feeling very bored.

"Didn't I give you the rent last month?" Xia Jun realized that now was not the time to say this after he finished complaining, contacted the cause and effect of the matter, and turned into a daze: "...you asked Lizi to ask for my phone number ?!"

It's not a comedy, it's a thriller.

"It's not me." He shook his head, "It's my friend, but he has something to do, so it's not easy to miss the appointment, let me apologize to you..."

"Fuck me."

She slapped the table and stood up, her tone teasing, but she seemed relieved, "If he gets married, will you marry him a wife?"

"..."

My mother was deeply impressed by this spirit.

The man on the opposite side sat down and cleaned his hands with a wet towel, and continued to explain patiently, "My friend... well, you may not remember, I bought a cup of mocha at your house, and there is a mole on his left cheek, he wants you The contact information, but you were busy with business at that time, so I asked Miss Li to bring you a message. He didn't know that we knew each other."

"He changed his job temporarily. As a last resort, he specially asked me to apologize to you, Miss Xia."

"It's okay." Xia Jie said, "I understand."

It seems that she has fully accepted the reality, and the reserved performance has become a page that has been uncovered.She looked at the beautifully bound menu on the table, and pulled her shattered hair behind her ears. It might be that this not-so-acquainted substitute made her relax a little.She heaved a sigh of relief.

"Come here, let's have a meal together."

While waiting for the food to be served, I had to go to the bathroom to call Gong Junye.

Because the two people on the table need to avoid suspicion too much.

A plate of lit sandalwood was placed in the toilet. I leaned against the dryer in the corner and told him what happened as vividly as possible.

"Baby, don't tell me when you get home..." He muttered halfway, and couldn't help laughing, "Huh? Blind date?"

"Uncle Zhou is really a good guy," I held my forehead, "I thought something was wrong..."

When I said this, I paused for a while. From just now, I felt that his side was extremely noisy, and the noise was not like a human voice.

It's like an electric drill.
