The whole class thinks we're a bit tricky

"Let's just pretend to be a couple."

Seeing Li Na's relieved expression, Xia Simu was still a little sad. She didn't understand why Li Na couldn't accept herself.

"sorry to bother you."

"It's not troublesome, but you have to put on a show, such as buying me a gift or something." Xia Simu forced a smile to ask for benefits for herself.

"What do you like?"

"As long as it's from you, I like it."

In order to compensate Xia Simu, Li Na went to the counter and bought a valuable necklace for her.

Xia Simu directly took it back and said it was too expensive to accept. Li Na felt guilty, so he had to buy some dolls and hair clips that girls like from time to time and give them to her.

In this way, until Li's mother passed away, the two no longer had to pretend to be a couple, and Li Na stopped giving gifts.

Xia Simu kept these gifts well, and would bring one with her every time she went out.

When Li Na's mother was at the funeral, Xia Simu rushed back from Jiangcheng to accompany Li Na, but was stopped by her mother.

"Look at you, what's the upside down look? No one is looking at you." Mama Xia hated iron for steel.

"I just want to see off Aunt Li." Xia Simu lowered her eyes.

"Don't go, Li Na has already told me, you were also pretending before, you have never been together."

"but--"

"Don't let it go, his relatives are not easy to get along with. Don't forget what they said about our mother and daughter when we were in the hospital. Now you go there and they don't besiege you?"

"Aunt Li's inheritance is all Li Na's. What's the matter with his relatives? Besides, the hospitalization and the purchase of a cemetery in the past two years have cost about the same."

"Some people are leeches that suck human blood, so they don't care whether you are anemic or not."

Then, when Xia Simu heard that Li Na had gone back to school, she wanted to go to Jiangcheng University to see him several times, but in the end she couldn't muster up the courage.

After graduating, Xia Simu found a job as a design assistant in Jiangcheng, and it took her two years to get promoted to the position of chief designer. Later, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't be promoted to supervisor, so she resigned and opened a studio specializing in Men's.

Relying on the contacts accumulated in the previous two years and her excellent design ability, Xia Simu's studio developed rapidly within a year, and became well-known in Jiangcheng.

She bought a house and brought her mother who lived alone from Yuncheng.

Xia Simu originally thought that life would go on in such an ordinary way, but Xia's mother quickly established a good relationship with the neighbors in the neighborhood and started looking for a blind date for her.

Xia Simu couldn't refuse, so she could only go to see her again and again, only to return disappointed again and again.

Today, the blind date was so enthusiastic that Xia Simu clearly rejected him after the meal, but the other party followed him outside the restaurant and said he would drive her home.

Xia Simu didn't want to take his car, because the other party was a little messy when eating. Just as she was avoiding the salty pig hand extended by the other party for the third time, she saw a person she knew, Li Na's classmate Ji Li.

Ji Li seemed to see her situation, and came over to exchange some pleasantries.

When the blind date saw Ji Li, he left disgruntled, and the two remained speechless. In the end, Ji Li sent Xia Simu to his residence, just in time to meet Xia's mother who was going out to throw out the trash.

Xia's mother saw Ji Li's eyes shining, and her tone was satisfied: "This is the Mr. Yang introduced by Sister Chen?"

She misunderstood Ji Li as Xia Simu's blind date today.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. This is Li Na's classmate. He met me in the restaurant and dropped me off." Seeing her mother's dazed expression, Xia Simu reminded, "The high school classmate Li Na tutored every day during the winter vacation in my senior year. .”

"Oh, oh, I remembered." Xia's mother also met Ji Li several times during that winter vacation, and she asked with a smile, "Then are you married?"

"Mom, why do you casually ask other people's privacy?" Xia Simu felt very embarrassed.

"Not married yet, but I have a partner." Ji Li replied.

"Mumu, take a look at her, and learn how to find a partner. You've never even had a relationship at a very old age."

"I talked to Li Na." Xia Simu went to observe Ji Li's expression after saying this sentence. Although Ji Li still maintained a decent smile, it was much faker than before, and she really thought so.

"Can that count?" Xia's mother murmured in a low voice, she didn't refute loudly for the sake of her daughter's face, and then continued to ask Ji Li with a smile, "Then do you know single young talents? My Mumu drags it on." Just become an old girl!"

"Yes." Ji Li agreed, "I'll arrange it."

—

Xia Simu originally thought that Ji Li would introduce her to a crooked date in order to get revenge, but he didn't expect that person to look better than the previous blind dates.

And it seems a little familiar.

"Hi, my name is Tang Shenyun."

"Xia Simu."

Xia Simu's studio is in the line of high-end men's clothing, so she can see Tang Shenyun's tailor-made clothes at a glance, with extravagant materials, elegant lines, and a good figure.

"I have seen you, hiding in the grove of Jiangcheng University crying a few years ago, and used up all the tissues on my body. I wanted to pretend that I didn't see you and leave, but seeing your tears, snot and nose with nothing to wipe, I gave it to you." You took a pack of tissues, and you gave me a stare."

Xia Simu: ...How about "reminiscing about the old days" at the beginning of the blind date?

She also remembered the scene of that day.

It could be seen that Xia Simu was upset, Tang Shenyun immediately apologized: "Sorry, I shouldn't bring this up."

"It's okay, it's all over."

Xia Simu remembered that at that time she always went to Jiangcheng University to play with Li Na. On that day, Li Na admitted that he had someone he liked, and hoped that Xia Simu would not come here again, so she hid in the grove and cried. No one would come there, who knew that a person passed by at the most embarrassing moment, let alone sitting with that person on a blind date today, and it was introduced by his rival.

"Then let's order first." Tang Shenyun said.

Xia Simu nodded. She took the menu from Tang Shenyun and selected a few dishes that were not easy to make mistakes.

The two chatted about their interests and hobbies while eating.

Xia Simu liked Tang Shenyun's clear voice very much. After dinner, she took the initiative to ask, "Can I add your WeChat?"

"of course can."
