[Comprehensive] pragmatic theory of coquetry

Lily probably had a good night's sleep.Once the eyes are closed and opened, it is already dawn, and I have not even dreamed.

When he sat up, he found that he was on the bed. He was slightly surprised, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and went out of the bedroom to find James.

But there is no one at home.

At first she thought he hadn't gotten up yet, so she walked down the stairs gently while holding onto the banister, and stood at the door of the living room, only to see that the sofa was empty.There is only a thin quilt on top, and the owner of the quilt has gone somewhere.

"James?" Lily called.I scratched my hair, turned around the room, looked around with round eyes, but still couldn't find anyone, I was really anxious, and ran out of the gate with bare feet to have a look.

It's just that she had just arrived at the door, and before she had time to reach out to touch the doorknob, the door knew what she thought and came by herself.

Lily didn't stop, and was bumping into the chest of the man who came back from the outside. She knocked her nose unexpectedly, covered it with her hand, and shrank aside.

The man who acted as a temporary wall stopped in time, did not knock her into the air, closed the door behind his back, and before he could speak, the baking aroma wafting from the paper bag in his arms explained why he didn't leave early in the morning. at home.

It's really fragrant.

Lily's heart fell to the ground immediately. When she looked up, she saw James holding a paper bag and looking at her. The man with dark green eyes was full of a sense of humor and helplessness. Hand: "James."

I can't blame him for looking at him like this.

She got out of bed without combing her hair, scratched it casually, curled it in a mess, her feet were not wearing anything, and she looked like she had just woken up. If she ran out like this, she might cause a lot of surprises gaze.

But after a full sleep, that little face is puffy, but it can still be seen.

"Where is this going?" James asked slowly.

Lily said honestly: "I want to find you."

He doesn't speak.Finally, he put the paper bag he was carrying into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to cook something: "Go wash up and have breakfast."

The little girl behind was very happy, and ran back upstairs to brush her teeth and wash her face.

When the smell of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen, she also cleaned up, her hair was straightened out, her clothes were neatly tidied, and she ran into the kitchen again to ask for help.

The eggs were already on the plate, so she took them to the table and set the knife and fork for James.

Finally able to have breakfast together, the two of them sat facing each other, Lily put the fried egg into her mouth, watching his slender and beautiful fingers when using a knife and fork, she was fascinated for a while.

So she didn't hear what he said at first, and only caught a "go out" and said with an "um": "What?"

James paused, and finally repeated to her: "I'm going to my parents' house after breakfast, and you just..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lily's eyes sparkling all of a sudden, and she became excited with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other: "Mom and Dad!"

It immediately made him feel as if he had just announced some great news.

He still wanted to continue with the original arrangement, but she had already slipped out of her seat and ran to his side. She stretched out and retracted her hand, probably wanting to pull his sleeve, bit her lip, and spoke softly. Qi way: "Are you taking me with you today?"

James' parents... never thought that they would see each other one day.A heart pounded, almost flying out of his chest.

James froze for a moment, he didn't expect her to be so passionate about his parents, thinking about bringing this little girl home yesterday, he said, "No, you..."

In the end, there was a debate for some reason, the breakfast was closed, and when he finally went out, Lily clearly followed behind him, obviously they wanted to go together after the negotiation was successful.

James leaned against the door for a moment as it closed, seeming to sigh slightly.

He really wanted to know what was wrong with him... He obviously didn't want to take her with him, but she just begged, but she agreed softly.

If she was a liar who swindled money, he might lose everything before 24 hours had passed.

But the strangest thing was that he didn't feel much displeasure.

Sitting in the car heading to the Barnes couple's house, Lily was very excited. She leaned over the car window and saw the shops on the street. When she remembered something, she turned around and asked James sitting next to her: "Do you need to buy any gifts?"

"No need." James had been staring at her back in a daze, but now he met her eyes, but turned away, "No need to buy any more, I'm already prepared."

Such an appearance gave birth to the illusion of bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents before marriage.

He coughed, feeling more and more scratched in his heart, in order to eliminate this inexplicable illusion, he continued: "You go as a friend, don't be too nervous..."

Hearing what he said, Lily didn't know whether it was because of the "friend" in the words, or something else, but the excitement between her brows subtly faded, she sat down in her seat, and after a moment of silence, she whispered: "I Meeting 'parents' for the first time."

James didn't understand what she meant, but seeing her somewhat gloomy little face, he fell silent.

Later, Lily just looked at the scenery outside the window quietly, but unexpectedly he suddenly found a topic to chat with her, but unfortunately the content was not appropriate: "My father works in a bank...my mother has been staying at home recently."

She listened carefully.

When he asked about her parents, she pursed her lips, but said "I don't have parents", which made him speechless again.

The car stopped in front of a small house shortly after.

Lily got out of the car behind James and stepped into the garden of Barnes's house. She seemed to forget the conversations in the car, looked at the well-tended lawn, and became more and more interested in Barnes who was about to meet. The Smiths are full of expectations.

It was Mrs. Barnes who answered the door.

Seeing the middle-aged woman's face appearing from behind the door, Lily knew exactly who James' appearance followed.Especially with brown hair and a pair of dark green pupils, when Mrs. Barnes smiled, she seemed to see her son's expression when he smiled.

"James!"

Mrs. Barnes opened the door to welcome her son, and she was slightly surprised when she saw the girl following behind her son. She quickly came to her senses and said "Hello" to Lily.

The phrase "I'm Lily Barnes" that danced in Lily's throat almost blurted out, but fortunately she restrained herself, and heard James introduce "This is Lily Gels", and hurried forward and said: " Mrs. Barnes."

"Go in, go in." Mrs. Barnes greeted her into the room, walked behind herself while welcoming her, turned her head and whispered to James who was standing against the wall, "Take the girl home?"

He was watching Lily happily walking inside, and only when he heard his mother ask, he looked away, squeezed the space between his brows, and also lowered his voice: "It's not what you think, friend."

"Friend." Mrs. Barnes shrugged, with an expression of "I almost believed it", and then frowned when she saw Lily's highlighted hair, "Hair is done like this."

Lily meets Mr. Barnes in the living room.

Mr. Barnes passed on his height and facial contours to his son, and he was a little surprised when he saw the approaching stranger through his blue eyes through the lens: "Hello."

He stood up.

Standing up with Mr. Barnes was a muscular young man who was originally sitting on the sofa—it turned out to be the neighbor Bob who was invited to play. Lily didn’t look at him, but he kept smiling politely .

When Mr. Barnes learned that Lily was a friend brought back by James, he had the same reaction as his wife, but he was obviously calmer and calmer. He went to the kitchen to get a plate and invited her to taste the freshly made apple pie together.

Lily was unusually quiet in the Barnes's house, with a smile on her face and a low voice. James watched from the side and even felt that she was a little nervous.

She is just nervous.

But sitting there, there is actually a sense of harmony.As if in his heart he wanted her to sit there and talk to his parents.

He was in a trance when his arm was suddenly knocked down by the elbow of the person next to him. He turned around and saw Bob holding a plate, and asked with great interest, "Is that your girlfriend?"

James glanced at him and said slowly, "No."

Bob believed it immediately, and became even more excited. Since we were former playmates with him, there was nothing to hinder him from speaking, and when he thought of it, he blurted out: "She's very upright, buddy."

With this appearance, it was obvious that he was interested in Lily.

It was his business that he was interested, but James felt uncomfortable for some reason, his brows were wrinkled, and he didn't speak after all.

It should be noted that although Lily is not his girlfriend, she may not have a further relationship... She kept saying that she was his wife.

It's just that the behavior of this "little wife" is really beyond his control.

After eating the apples, Lily and Mrs. Barnes packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. James just had a few more words with Mr. Barnes in the living room. When he looked up, he saw his mother coming back alone wiping the water from her hands. I didn't see anyone following her, so I couldn't help but ask, "Where's Lily?"

"Your friend." Mrs. Barnes pointed out the window. "I asked Bob to weed for me. She probably wanted to help too, so we went out together."

James looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw Lily and Bob standing in the yard, talking to each other face to face.They didn't see each other for a while, but they both had a common topic. When Bob spoke, Lily seemed to listen more seriously than listening to him in the car.

Those Chengbi eyes originally contained his figure, but at this time, Bob's face may have changed inside.

James' face suddenly looked a little ugly.
