Chapter 1

14days ago Urban Novels 7
My name is Lu Jianhao. I am 31 years old. I am a middle-aged man who has been running for ten years and finally got three years old. His career is neither good nor bad. In a big city like Shanghai, I work in a travel agency with a small scale of nine to six, occasionally working overtime, and earning more than 10,000 yuan a month.

My wife is Chen Xinyue, 28 years old, and is an English teacher in the junior high school of a private school. She is not very busy at work. Due to the nature of the teacher's work, she basically does not need to work overtime. Her work and rest time is relatively stable. Her income is slightly lower than mine.

The two of them had a total income of more than 20,000 yuan. In many people's eyes, they could have no worries about food and clothing, but they were under great pressure in Shanghai, a city with high living costs.

By the way, we two have no children yet, which slightly relieves some pressure on our lives. As for the reason why we don’t have children, a large part of it is the wish of our wives. Although private schools have higher incomes, their stability and hidden income are not as good as those of public schools. If we get pregnant and have children, we need to leave our jobs for at least half a year. During this period, the teaching work will definitely be replaced by other teachers. When we come back to work, we will be full of uncertainty.

We have been married for four years. There is no romantic factor in my acquaintance with my wife. Instead, it is very old-fashioned, just blind dates. In fact, I still ask my wife half-jokingly, how high-quality goods like her flowed into the blind date market, which often brings her a look at this time, because the story of this blind date is not that simple.

I still remember it was a day six years ago. When I got home from get off work, my mother's daily question came again.

Son Ah, are there any girl Ah you like recently?

Mom, are you tired? Didn’t I tell you that I will bring you back to show you if I have a girlfriend. How could I hide it from you?

You are 25 years old, my old colleague, Aunt Xiaofang, his son is one year older than you, Xiaofang's grandson was full moon last month

OK OK OK Mom, you also know which girl from Shanghai is willing to get married long ago. Do you even ask me to find someone older than me?

My mother was silent for a while, as if she thought it was reasonable, but she thought for a while and said: Anyway, I have told you all, and I don’t want you to get married immediately, but you can at least find one to talk to me first, don’t tell me that you haven’t forgotten the one in front, I don’t care about Ah, I won’t recognize that woman even if you find it back. I have asked someone to introduce you to you. You have to go out for a blind date for me at that time.

After saying that, my mother left without looking back, leaving me alone in chaos.

The woman she mentioned was my ex-girlfriend. Actually, I always doubted whether that relationship could be called a relationship. We met online. She is from Guilin. She was in Suzhou at that time. After chatting for more than half a year, she decided to come to Shanghai to see me.

Actually, I was resistant at the beginning. I died too much when I saw the light. We chatted well online. I was afraid that I would lose such a netizen who could be discussed when I met. In fact, I am still a little confident in my appearance. Although I am not so handsome that I am so handsome, I am 180 years tall and have a strong figure.

After meeting, I found that I fell in love with this girl who looks pretty but is absolutely not amazing. Her personality is so different from the Shanghai girl I know. There is no princess disease that needs to be around her, and there is no strong personality of turning against each other.

Soon this kind of love becomes love, an unexplainable love

But I found that she had hidden a lot of things from me, maybe she was moved by my love. She half-actively and half-passively revealed many secrets I didn't know before. For example, she actually had a boyfriend in Suzhou, but her boyfriend's mother didn't like her, a foreigner, and seemed to oppose them being together.

If we knew her situation when we were chatting online, I swear I would only treat her as a friend of the opposite sex that I could talk about, but I only realized it after falling in love with her crazy, so these were nothing to me. So I did something that seems very majestic now. I took the train to Suzhou, called her downstairs and picked her upstairs, and moved into my house since then

My parents have no bad impression of foreigners, and with my son's favorite, I accepted this prospective daughter-in-law who lived in for no reason. However, the good times didn't last long. I finally underestimated other people's feelings and overestimated my love. The beautiful days were only over a month, and she finally packed her luggage and left under the attack of her ex-boyfriend.

Let me talk about my wife, by the way, blind date

Just about a week after my mother talked, I was told that a girl was waiting for me to go on a blind date. It was said that it was introduced by my aunt's friend. The elders in the family always had to give me the face. I embarked on this blind date that affected my life.

The place I made an appointment was Starbucks next to a large park in the city center. I sat in it half an hour earlier than the agreed time. I ordered a cup of coffee and started to brush my phone. I would still look up at the door, after all, I still felt a little nervous and expectant. When I saw a beautiful girl pushing the door in, I still looked forward to her, but I didn't walk to me again and again.

Just five minutes after the agreed time, the two girls pushed the door and came in. I still looked up and looked at it. When I saw that it was two people, I instinctively felt that it was not, but I couldn't help but look at them.

Both girls are taller, and they are estimated to be around 168-170. One looks a little older, probably similar to me, and the other looks more youthful. It is probably either a college student or just graduated. Both girls have long hair and both have pretty faces, but the smaller one is more outstanding.

The two of them looked around and looked around. When their eyes swept at me, I subconsciously lowered my head. After all, it was not good for girls to see that being peeped at.

But when I looked at them with my own light, I found that they were walking towards me. My heart skipped a beat. Could it be one of them? I raised my head again. The two girls had already walked in front of me. One of them asked carefully: Is it Lu Jianhao?

I felt ecstatic. It turned out that there were finest blind dates, and I could accept any of these two.

I stood up very gentlemanly, bowed slightly and said: It's me, who is Chen Qianyi?

The older girl smiled and said: I am Chen Qianyi, this is my cousin Chen Xinyue

At this time, I can carefully look at the two girls. Chen Qianyi's face is more heroic. If she has short hair, she probably will also like it. Chen Xinyue's face is more in line with the public's aesthetics. A typical melon-shaped face looks very comfortable.

I ordered another cup of coffee and some desserts for the two of them and started chatting. Chen Qianyi was indeed the same age as me. She worked as a clerk in a foreign trade company. Chen Xinyue had just graduated from university for half a year and worked as an internship teacher in a school.

Chen Qianyi was also forced to get married at home, so there were also good family members who took the initiative to help arrange the matter, and half-stopped it and led to this meeting. Chen Xinyue, who happened to go to her cousin's house with her parents, was visiting her cousin's house and heard that there was such a fun thing, so she clamored to follow her.

In fact, the concept of elders is different from ours. In our eyes, they will make a fuss about things that seem to be natural, but on the contrary, we may not be able to accept things that seem to be very ordinary. I said with a smile.

Yes, that's it. It depends on fate. I can't be anxious. In fact, it's my fifth or sixth time on a blind date. It's still not the fate. What about you? How many times? Chen Qianyi asked

Haha, I didn't expect you to be a veteran Ah, my first time, really, looking at Chen Qianyi's disbelief, I didn't forget to add

Several people were chatting like this, time passed quickly, and Chen Xinyue didn't talk much, but just watched us chat while eating and drinking. During this period, I heard that I was from the tourism industry, so I started to interrupt actively as if I found a common topic.

The two girls declined the kindness of my invitation to treat them to dinner. Chen Qianyi and I added to each other on WeChat and said goodbye.

This blind date was more pleasant than I thought. After all, the other party was in good condition in all aspects, and Chen Qianyi also expressed that she felt good about me and was willing to try dating. The elders on both sides were very happy about this. After that, Chen Qianyi and I made a few appointments, had dinner, went to bars, and watched movies. The relationship was normal. From holding hands, hugging the waist, to kissing the cheeks, occasionally sneaking and kissing the lips, it was a normal process, but it never broke through the last level.

Just as I slowly forgot the figure in my mind, the blow came again inadvertently

Jianhao

Qianyi, why did you think of calling me?

I have something to tell you

What's wrong? Why do you have to call me so seriously? Haha

Let's break up

Haha, uh, what did you say?

I said let's break up, sorry, it's my problem. I don't want to delay you. Let's break it while our relationship is not so deep. I don't want to delay you.

I was confused when I wanted to ask clearly that she had hung up the phone, but I couldn't tell what she felt. I felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not as unforgettable as last time. Just like what she said herself, after all, we have been together for a short time and our relationship is not that deep. It's more of an inexplicable ridiculous thing. I was dumped again?

I wanted to contact her again later, but I couldn't contact her. I never thought about going to ask my elders for advice. Let's just forget it.
