For a week after that, the days got worse every day.

Every night at the dinner table, my mother either inquired about my "boyfriend" or persuaded me to meet Kevin Ou.Fortunately, she has to go to work during the day, otherwise the life will not be able to pass.

Before Guan Guwei went to City B, I invited him to have a meal with Mo Xiaoyun.When Mo Xiaoyun asked about the date, I just said that the other party just wanted to meet me in person and invited me to dinner, nothing else.I still feel a little guilty in my heart, after all these years, Mo Xiaoyun and I have never had any secrets, even I can't explain why I should keep it a secret.

After the first date, O'Kelva disappeared from my world.I searched his name in the search engine, but did not find any decent results.Clicking on his Weibo, the page is still blank.

I also thought about contacting him, but what if it was his intention to disappear?

It's outrageous that I would worry about gain and loss for a man I've only met once.

So I hoarded new articles day and night, not giving myself a chance to think wildly.

On the sixth day, I only thought of Ou Kaihua twice and clicked on his Weibo once. I think I will soon forget his existence.

At noon on the seventh day, I woke up from my sleep, and dazedly reached out to fish the mobile phone on the bedside table into the bed. Ou Kaihua's missed call woke me up instantly.

Before my mind turned around, my body had already dialed back very honestly. It was not until Ou Kaihua's voice rang clearly in my ears that I jumped up from the bed belatedly.

"Hello... are you looking for me?" The voice was hoarse, and I regretted that I was too impatient.

His voice was stained with a smile: "Just woke up?"

"Well... I usually write articles until late at night, so I wake up late." I explained, hoping that he would not think that I was a lazy person with nothing to do T^T

"Are you free for dinner tonight?"

"Huh?" Maybe because he disappeared so completely in the previous week, I was a little caught off guard at the moment.

"I'm going back to City B tomorrow. Before I leave, I want to treat you to another meal, if you do me a favor."

"Okay." I promised with mixed feelings, obviously very happy, but very disappointed.

"At six o'clock in the evening, I will pick you up at the gate of your community."

"Okay, see you tonight."

Because of Ou Kaihua's phone call, I was absent-minded all afternoon. Finally, I turned my wardrobe upside down and found a white long-sleeved lace dress that I bought in a luxury store last year. The red-soled high-heeled shoes look dignified and ladylike, but they seem a little thinner on an October night.

At [-]:[-], I resolutely chose the style between the style and the temperature.

But as soon as I walked out, the cool breeze blowing against my face gave me a big blow.I gritted my trembling teeth and cheered myself up.

The gray Cayenne was parked where I had dropped off that day, and I ignored the security guard's interested gaze and walked toward it.

Ou Kaihua got out of the car and came around to open the door for me. He was still wearing a white shirt and black suit, but today he wore a tie with a black background and a white pattern, which made him look even more extraordinary.

We really deserve each other, I thought happily in my heart.

When you arrive at the restaurant, you will be more sure that you have made the right choice.

This time he took me to a world-renowned steakhouse, probably because he discovered my carnivorous nature through the last meal.This restaurant is expensive and difficult to book, I don't know how he got it.

The prices of all the main courses are in four figures, but he pays attention to the same from the appetizer to the dessert.

Although the price is high, I can still afford the meal, so I said to him: "You invited me last time, let me treat you for this meal."

He was sipping non-alcoholic champagne, his elegant demeanor was foul-looking, and his charming smile was even more irresistible: "I invite you to dinner, of course I pay, don't worry about it."

"Then..." I said boldly, "Let me treat you next time."

"Okay, when?" He put down his wine glass and looked at me with a smile, his eyes were half-true and half-fake, as if bewitching.

"Well... when will you go back to City S next time?"

"It will be busy going back this time, and it may take a little longer."

"Oh...that's it..." I also picked up the glass and took a sip to hide my disappointment.

"If you owe it first, there is always a chance to pay it back."

"By the way, it might be a bit presumptuous to ask like this... Do you know Kevin Ou?"

He looked surprised: "It's my brother. Do you know him?"

What a coincidence, I said with a wry smile: "It is said that your neighbor knows my cousin's former colleague."

Ou Kaihua frowned slightly: "Kevin and I both live outside by ourselves, and we don't know any neighbors very well."

"It's probably what your parents meant. They exchanged photos of me and Kaiwen Ou, and wanted us to go on a blind date. I saw the photo my mother gave me, and I thought it looked like you, as did the name, so I guessed it."

He smiled, his eyes were a little cold: "My parents are very anxious about my marriage with Kevin, but you are only 22 years old, are you already going on a blind date?"

I said helplessly: "My mother thinks that I don't have a serious job and staying at home every day is an eyesore, so she wants to kick me out early."

"Aren't you considering moving out? If you're writing, you'll need a quiet environment."

"I thought about it too, but first, my parents are very traditional and think that girls should stay at home until they get married. Second, I have never left home since I was a child, and my self-care ability is not very strong. Bottomless."

He didn't make a sound for a while, and I was starting to feel embarrassed by the silence, when he suddenly asked: "So what do you think of Kevin's conditions?"

My heart sank for no reason because of this sentence, and I still had a smile on my face: "It's okay, blind date or something, I think it's too realistic... My mother is very satisfied, and thinks he's doing a good job Good looks, good family background, everything, and..."

She spoke so smoothly that she almost included her evaluation of Ou Kaihua.But Ou Kaihua seems to be very interested: "What else?"

"Uh..." I hesitated for a while, feeling inappropriate, but couldn't stop my curiosity, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, my mother said you have over [-] million assets, is it true?"

He smiled, but he didn't mean to be half complacent, he just said lightly: "It's about the same."

Although his manners of speaking, temperament, taste, generous shots, and that Porsche Cayenne can all reflect his wealth, but when I heard it with my own ears, I still found it incredible. I didn’t expect that I could know such a successful person. No wonder My mom would say that.

"My mother said, you and Ou Kaiwen are both single, but I don't want to be high-ranking if you are like you. It seems that what she said is quite reasonable." The last sentence is a joke, a self-deprecating, and a sincere statement that makes me feel sad.

"So what kind of woman do you think a man like me should look for?"

"Ordinary girls will be under pressure when they are with you. I guess you don't like it...maybe, a female star?"

"My parents are also very traditional, and they always have some prejudices against the entertainment industry. If I find a female star, they will definitely not let me bring her into the house."

"That's it...it's really difficult."

"Yeah, it's really hard, so I never got married."

I was amused by his serious look.

"Are you going to meet Kevin?" he asked, looking at me.

"I lied to my mother that I have a boyfriend."

"She believes it?"

"I don't really believe it, I have to meet people. I wanted to pretend to be Guan Guwei, but now that he has entered the entertainment industry, my mother probably won't accept me finding an artist...other male friends, or just It's not very convenient to find someone to do this kind of thing if you have a girlfriend, or it's because you don't know it well enough. Forget it, let's procrastinate for now, at worst, we can't procrastinate in the future and we will break up."

Ou Kaihua listened to my rambling quietly and didn't say anything.

Without the restraint of the first time, the chat this time was more enjoyable than the last time, and at the end, there was still more to say.

Walking out of the restaurant, I was shocked by the coolness of the autumn night, and Ou Kaihua's coat fell safely on my shoulders.His warm body temperature was left on the jacket, and there was also the faint scent of cologne, everything made me fascinated.

I raised my head and bumped into his shining eyes and soft expression in the night, my heart beat faster.

Outside the car window are the retrograde street lamps and mottled tree shadows, and the warmth and breath of the man in the car wraps me tightly.I really hope that this road will be longer, and longer, until the end of the world.

The car stopped at the gate of the community, and he still got out of the car in a gentlemanly manner to open the door for me. I got out of the car full of disappointment, but was terrified by the familiar voice behind me: "Ruoqi?"

Ou Kaihua and I looked over at the same time, and it was none other than my mother who was walking towards us behind her. Her eyes fell on the suit on my body, thoughtful, and I suddenly had a feeling of being raped.

"Mom, why did you come back so late today..."

"I'm helping the school organize a dinner for retired teachers tonight, you forgot?" She looked at Ou Kaihua with scrutiny, "Who is this?"

Ou Kaihua didn't wait for me to speak, and showed a perfect smile: "Hi Auntie, I'm Ou Kaihua."

When it comes to the lifelong events of their children, mothers often have amazing sensitivity. My mother only took a second to think, and then she showed a suddenly realized expression: "Oh, you are the eldest brother of the Ou family! I heard acquaintances talk about your two brothers."

"I heard Ruoqi mention it at dinner just now."

All my attention was focused on the word "Ruoqi", and I was shocked to realize that the situation was completely going against the direction I could control.

"Since you're here, come up and sit for a while." She used an elder-like command tone.

"Mom!" I had to stand up before the situation got out of control, "He's going to city B tomorrow, it's already so late!"

"It won't take long to sit for a while." My mother gave me a hard look.

"Okay, if you don't delay your rest." Ou Kaihua actually agreed, and I couldn't believe my ears.

"Okay, I'll go up first." The first half of the sentence was addressed to Ou Kaihua in a kind tone, and the second half of the sentence was directed to me, "Ruoqi, you accompany Xiao Ou to park the car and bring him up."

I stared at the back of her walking into the community in a daze, and I was in a bad mood.
