History of dandyism

After taking a shower at home, Xia Xuanrui spread out on the sofa, probably suffering from heat stroke, and he is still a little nauseous now.Rubbing his stomach, Xia Xuanrui picked up the phone, flipped to Zhao Yiwei's name, paused with his thumb, but didn't click on it. He thought of the cold 'good' in the afternoon.

Throwing the phone aside, Xia Xuanrui curled up on the sofa, with one hand resting on his forehead, covering the light.He thought: If Zhao Yiwei took the initiative to call, then he would tell Zhao Yiwei that he was not feeling well, if there was no phone call, then he would not say anything.

At ten o'clock, it was past time for Zhao Yiwei to sleep, and the phone didn't ring. Xia Xuanrui sobbed softly, feeling his nose sore.He knew that he was a bit hypocritical now, after he got Zhao Yiwei's favor, he wanted more.

Can't be satisfied, can't be satisfied.

Xia Xuanrui returned to the room, dragged out a large box from the cabinet in the corner of the cloakroom, opened the lid, and stared blankly at those two-dimensional Zhao Yiwei.Ever since they started dating formally, in order to prevent Zhao Yiwei from discovering his idiotic behavior, he kept all these things away.Of course, with real people, these self-deceiving surroundings are useless.

Kneeling on the floor, Xia Xuanrui grabbed a pillow and pressed it into his arms, firmly and tightly, but still couldn't fill the emptiness in his heart, he wanted - Zhao Yiwei loved him like he loved the other party.

Lying on the bed with Zhao Yiwei's pillow in his arms, Xia Xuanrui tossed and turned. After a few months of interruption, he resumed the habit of sleeping with his Two-dimensional boyfriend in his arms.

***

The phone alarm kept ringing, Xia Xuanrui stretched out his hand from under the quilt, grabbed the phone on the bedside table and turned it off, it was time to get up early for a run, he turned over and sat up, and was stunned when he saw Zhao Yiwei's pillow next to him.

After a night of sleep, the physical discomfort has disappeared, and the negative psychological emotions have also disappeared.

Xia Xuanrui felt that he was a bit of a dead end last night. Zhao Yiwei was busy with work, and it was not uncommon for the two of them not to talk on the phone at night, and last Sunday he even said that he would take him to see his parents.Seeing his parents means that he hopes to be accepted by his family. For a serious person like Zhao Yiwei, it is already a very formal acknowledgment, and it means that he wants to become a family with himself.

Although Xia Xuanrui was a little apprehensive about meeting Zhao Yiwei's parents, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up when he thought of the future between him and Zhao Yiwei. He must make Zhao Yiwei's parents like him.Thinking of Zhao Yiwei's introduction to his parents, Xia Xuanrui thought about what gift he should bring to his first visit.Zhao's mother is easy to handle, just buy jewelry. Zhao's father likes calligraphy, so maybe he should give him the Four Treasures of the Study.

While running at home, Xia Xuanrui kept thinking about this matter. He remembered that Dong Wushuang's father seemed to have a hobby of collecting Wenwan, so he called Dong Wushuang and said that he needed to buy some Wenwan as gifts.Dong Wushuang quickly responded, "My father said that there is a Jiyingzhai in Antique Street. The owner's surname is Xing, and he is his friend. You only need to report his name when you go."

Xia Xuanrui thanked Dong Wushuang, and according to the phone number she provided, she first contacted the owner of the antique shop, who happened to be free, so she made an appointment to visit in the afternoon.

Then Xia Xuanrui began to count his savings. He doesn't have much money now. In addition to the half-year salary, there is also the pocket money given by his elder brother during the Chinese New Year, but it is more than 40. There is also a credit card with a limit of only 50. I don't know if it is enough It's not enough, if I knew that when my elder brother said to return grandma's inheritance to him, he would have agreed to it, Xia Xuanrui regretted it a little.

In the afternoon, Xia Xuanrui arrived at Jiyingzhai, an antique street, on time. The owner, Boss Xing, was in his 40s, wearing a moon-white Tang suit, waving a folding fan, and looked like an antique shop owner.

"Mr. Xia, are you going to give this thing away, or use it yourself?" Boss Xing asked.

"Give it away, the elders of a friend's family, I heard that they like calligraphy." Xia Xuanrui replied.

"If you like calligraphy, I have a lot of suitable ones here. In addition to pens, inks, paper, and inkstones, there are also various pen holders, brush washers, inkstone drops, paperweights, seals, etc."

"I want to see the inkstone." Xia Xuanrui had done homework before coming here, and thought the inkstone was the most suitable.

"Coincidentally, I have some famous works here, Mr. Xia can take a look."

Xia Xuanrui has no idea about the material and shape of the inkstone, and doesn't know which one is better.

Seeing his hesitation, Boss Xing said, "May I ask, what price does Mr. Xia plan to choose?"

"Of course it's the best." Xia Xuanrui didn't think about it.

"When it comes to gift giving, of course it's best to match what you like. Does Mr. Xia know the old man's preference? If you don't know, you can ask your friend first."

Xia Xuanrui's face flushed, Zhao Yiwei just said that, and he rushed to prepare gifts, and now he is naturally embarrassed to ask.

Seeing his appearance, Boss Xing laughed, "Could it be that Mr. Xia is giving this to his future father-in-law?"

It seems okay to talk about father-in-law, Xia Xuanrui nodded slightly, as a tacit consent, "I haven't seen it yet, I only know that uncle used to teach at a university, but now he's retired."

"Then let me recommend one." Boss Xing said: "The other party does not specialize in collecting literature and entertainment, so it is not appropriate to send those Ming and Qing ancient inkstones. I think this Fang She inkstone is good. It is a work of a national first-class arts and crafts master. Simple and simple, very artistic conception, but not too luxurious."

When Xia Xuanrui saw that the inkstone was moderate in size, with rounded lines and neat and concise carving, he also liked it very much, "Okay, how much is it?"

"Mr. Xia, you were introduced by Mr. Dong, so I won't tell you anything. The real price is [-]."

This price was much lower than Xia Xuanrui's psychological price, so he didn't counter-offer at all, and happily took out the gun.

"Have Mr. Xia prepared a gift for his mother-in-law?" Boss Xing asked with a smile on his face.

"not yet."

"Mr. Xia, aren't you putting the cart before the horse? Everyone says that if the mother-in-law is settled, the marriage will be more than half done." Boss Xing explained enthusiastically, "What does Mr. Xia plan to give to the future mother-in-law?" ?”

"Jewelry." Xia Xuanrui said.

"I think your future father-in-law's family will be a scholarly family, and your mother-in-law should also be very temperamental. I happen to have a batch of Burmese Laokeng jadeite in my store. The material is very good and rare. I guarantee that any woman will like it. You can take a look."

Xia Xuanrui readily agreed, and under Boss Xing's persuasion, and because he really wanted to please Zhao Yiwei's mother, he paid 60 yuan to buy an ice jadeite pendant.Xia Xuanrui knew that his mother, Mrs. Xia, had a lot of jade bracelets worth several million. If he hadn't been shy, he would have actually wanted to buy the bracelets.

After buying the gift, Xia Xuanrui was not only poor and white, but also owed 10,000+ credit cards. He didn't feel the pain at all, but drove home happily, planning to ask his elder brother to get his money back, so that he could keep it with him.

When he got home and put away his things, he called Zhao Yiwei, "Yiwei, can we have dinner together tonight?"

"Why, you don't accompany your sister anymore?"

"They invited friends to play together, and they didn't want me to be an eyesore."

"Then where are you now?"

"Well, here in the old house, I'll go find you right away." Xia Xuanrui didn't want her boyfriend to know that she skipped work all day, so she could only lie.

"It's the evening rush hour now, and it's a long way from there—" Zhao Yiwei said.

"I'll be there soon!" Xia Xuanrui was in a hurry, he was afraid that Zhao Yiwei would say 'you can eat at home'.

Zhao Yiwei smiled softly, "Don't come to my place, go to the Cantonese restaurant that I ate last time. The location is just in the middle, and it's about the same distance from both sides of us."

"Okay." Xia Xuanrui hurriedly agreed.

Xia Xuanrui waited for 10 minutes at the restaurant before Zhao Yiwei came over.

"Xiao Rui, have you been here for a long time?" Zhao Yiwei sat down in his seat, he was a little puzzled when he saw the Yangzhi Ganlu and Shuangpi Nai that had bottomed out on the table.

"No, uh, just a little hungry."

"Then you can eat first, don't wait for me." Zhao Yiwei took out a napkin from the tissue box on the table, stretched his hand across the table, and gently rubbed the corner of Xia Xuanrui's mouth.

"Huh?" Xia Xuanrui was stunned.

"Shuangpi Nai is on your mouth." Zhao Yiwei put down the tissue, "Have you ordered?"

"No, not yet." Xia Xuanrui said shyly, he didn't expect that Zhao Yiwei, who was always conservative and rigorous, would do this.

Zhao Yiwei picked up the menu, "What do you want to eat today?"

"It's all good." With Zhao Yiwei, Xia Xuanrui would be happy even if he ate plain rice.

After finishing their meal with gusto, the two left the restaurant and came by their own cars, so they had to leave separately.When they arrived at the underground garage, Zhao Yiwei sent Xia Xuanrui to his car and said goodbye to him.

"Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Xia Xuanrui was about to pull the car door, but was grabbed by Zhao Yiwei.

The light in the garage was a bit dim, and Zhao Yiwei's position was backlit. Xia Xuanrui couldn't see her boyfriend's expression clearly, but she still followed him behind the pillar next to him.

"This is a blind spot for surveillance," Zhao Yiwei said.

Xia Xuanrui uttered suspiciously, "Huh?" Then he was hugged tightly by Zhao Yiwei, and her boyfriend's fiery kiss fell on his lips.Lips and tongues chasing each other, explorers, competing for limited oxygen, Xia Xuanrui was in a trance, until Zhao Yiwei turned around behind the pillar with his arms around him, he didn't notice a car passing by.

"Let's go, drive slowly." Zhao Yiwei took Xia Xuanrui by the hand and led him to the car door.

Xia Xuanrui got into the car, started the car and drove out of the parking space. From the rearview mirror, he saw that his boyfriend was still standing there.

He can feel that his boyfriend likes him very much, that's good, he said to himself, Xia Xuanrui, that's good.
