Pretend to be straight

"Pu Xin, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Huh? Tell me, son."

"Is there anyone around you who knows Shi Jinghe?"

"who is she?"

"……fine."

After hanging up the phone, I looked up at the ceiling and let out a sigh of relief.

Shi Jinghe's private information is well protected, no one knows where that candy store is, and I have almost checked the Weibo of the Internet celebrities she follows, someone went to Yuncheng to find her face, and Posted a selfie and said that Shi Jinghe's candy was very sweet.

Sweet, sweet, but you said the location!

Two days have passed, but I still have no progress. For the first time, I feel that the gap between myself and the Internet celebrity is so far away.

Yuncheng is so big, you can't even meet them by chance.

It's really not that simple to get money, I felt the difficulty at the first step.

And it's impossible for me to say that I like her after meeting her, there has to be a process, isn't it?Start with friends first, and then slowly explore.

However... I don't even see her now.

I frowned and looked at the notes recorded in my notebook, which wrote down her various preferences and habits. As long as she posted on the public forum, I basically remembered them all.

If this mission fails, I'm sorry for putting so much thought into her, I can't help but think angrily.

Then, resigned to fate, he clicked on the iPad again, clicked into the search bar of Weibo, pursed his lips and thought for a while, and then began to search for a keyword that he hadn't searched before: [Meeting Shi Jinghe by chance].

On the hot search, there are often news about encountering celebrities. After clicking in, you will find that the addresses are clearly arranged. I searched this with the last glimmer of hope.

I hope that Shi Jing and her fans will be enough, so that after meeting her by chance, she will still post on Weibo.

I don't believe that Shi Jinghe, as an Internet celebrity with such a large traffic, will not be recognized by anyone on the street.

But the reality defeated me again: I ran into Shi Jinghe by chance, and there was no news after I searched it out. Basically, there were people saying that I really wanted to run into Shi Jinghe by chance.

I:……

Since I have slowly become a duck to water in this line of work, I have rarely encountered such a heart-stopping moment.

I looked at the time on the iPad, rubbed my face, and let go of these thoughts, I still have things to do in a while.

Went to meet Xiao Xu's mother, and made an appointment at a dessert shop.

I don't really understand why Xiaoxu's mother likes sweets so much, why is she so stubborn about this matter?Although I actually understand that there is no relationship between the two.

At first, I thought that I just need to wait for Xiaoxu's mother to call and refuse, but what I didn't expect was that we still have to meet.

Maybe she wanted to help his son "retain" me, to see if she could keep me by Xiaoxu's side and continue to "be together" with Xiaoxu.

To be honest, I feel a little guilty for such deception, but Xiao Xu is my good friend, and his life has been affected, so I should help if I can.

My parents knew that I had a girlfriend when they were alive, and they even treated my first love very well. When my first love came to my house as a guest, they were still very enthusiastic.

But they never thought of it. After they died, she called me unlucky, and even said they were unlucky. She never wanted to have anything to do with my family.

I may be too idle recently, always recalling the past.

I changed my clothes and pants expressionlessly, and tried to be more mature and stable when I met the elders.

When we arrived at the dessert shop, it was almost seven o'clock, and the appointed time was seven o'clock.

Carrying my bag, I loosened my hair on purpose outside the door, and stroked my hair as I walked into the store, pretending that I had just finished working overtime and was very busy.

Xiao Xu told his parents before that I am a white-collar worker, the kind who works as a director in a certain department of a certain company.

Maybe his parents are quite satisfied with my "occupation", and they also behaved well in front of them that time, so they wanted to ask Xiaoxu to keep me again, but they wouldn't listen to what Ren Xiaoxu said.

Only me and Xiaoxu's mother will meet tonight, Xiaoxu has another job, and Xiaoxu's father has gone out to socialize.

I was still "panting", and slowly slowed down my pace and walked to the coffee table where Xiaoxu's mother was. I showed a sorry smile: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Xiaoxu's mother smiled like a flower, she looked up at me with a kind expression and gentle eyes: "No, Xiao Lu, sit down quickly."

I smiled shyly, sat down on the sofa, and put the bag aside.

Xiaoxu's mother is still the same, the fine lines around her eyes are engraved with the word "gentle", she asked me softly: "Xiao Lu, are you busy with work recently?"

The smell in the dessert shop is very fragrant, but it is not only the smell of food.

There is a cup of hot milk and a small cake in front of me, both of which Xiaoxu's mother ordered for me.

I nodded: "A little bit, I'm reviewing some things today, and it took a long time, so I'm late."

"Hey, young people should pay attention to their bodies when they are working hard." She pointed to her face and said, "Otherwise, I will be like me when I get old."

I smiled and shook my head: "Auntie, you still look good now."

Xiaoxu looks a lot like his mother, and his mother has the charm of a Hong Kong beauty from the last century.

After laughing at each other for a few seconds, I crossed my hands on the coffee table, showed my "work" appearance, and said, "Auntie, I'll cut to the chase. I won't get back together with Qian Xu."

Look, in order to show my determination, I even called Xiao Xu by his real name.

"Xiao Lu..." She frowned, and began to speak earnestly, "I don't know if you know that Xiao Xu had a boyfriend before."

The dessert shop's business is good, it can even be described as lively, the smiles on the faces of the people in the shop under the lights are nowhere to escape.

We are sitting by the window now, everything outside the window is blocked by transparent glass, I can see passers-by, some looking hurried, some looking relaxed.

As I heard Xiaoxu's mother continue to say, even the tip of her nose started to turn red: "Our family only has one child, Xiaoxu, we can't stop the incense of the Qian family..."

I lowered my eyelids and said, "Auntie, Qian Xu is not your private property. He has his own life. You shouldn't use such thoughts to restrain him."

She raised her eyes and saw that I pursed my lips and said nothing. I thought for a while and said, "It's not because of this reason that I broke up with Qian Xu. He is very honest and didn't hide it from me. I broke up with him because I don't like him." So no matter how much you persuade me to stay, it’s useless, being together without feelings won’t blossom and bear fruit, won’t it?”

I said it seriously, and I don't know if she listened, anyway, this time I want to buy some time for Xiao Xu to fall in love.

I really put a knife in my sister's ribs, he is going to fall in love, and I am still here to help him deal with his parents.

"Hey..." Xiaoxu's mother sighed repeatedly, "Xiao Lu, you are the most satisfying candidate for a daughter-in-law I have ever met. Our Qian family really doesn't want to miss you."

I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart, why didn't I know that I was actually a cute character?

I pressed the corners of my lips down a little, and pretended to be regretful but helpless: "But Auntie, if you don't have a fate, you don't have a fate. I really don't like Qian Xu now, and tonight's talk can't keep me."

The little cake in front of me has not been touched. I am a little hungry, but I don't want to eat sweets now. After a while, I will go to Pu Xin for dinner.

There are people sitting on the sofa next to me. The girl on my side is wearing a mask and her mobile phone is on the coffee table. She is sliding the table with her fingertips, while another girl opposite her is taking a selfie.

The two of them didn't communicate much, they were doing their own things.

Xiaoxu's mother seemed to want to insist, she said: "Xiao Lu, I beg you to be an aunt, please continue to be with Xiaoxu?" Her eyes were red when she said this.

I didn't really believe in Xiaoxu's saying that his mother was going to jump into the river before, but now I believe it seven or eight percent.

Really... stubborn.

I just wanted to continue to refuse, but the girl in the mask sitting next to me spoke out, and I could hear the voice clearly.

She said to her friend who was taking a selfie opposite her, "Of course, are there any elders who are short of something in their hearts?"

The girl on the opposite side who was taking selfies stopped, she glanced at me, and I could see her face clearly now, she had been taking selfies just now, at most I could see a profile.

She is a baby-faced girl, I can't guess her age, but she must be an adult anyway.

"What is missing?"

The girl in the mask gave a "tsk" sound: "There is a shortage of numbers."

Ran Ran was surprised: "Huh?"

I heard it. If nothing else, the girl in the mask heard my conversation with Xiaoxu's mother.

"Auntie." I ignored them for now, and continued to Xiao Xu's mother, "What kind of identity do you want to use to decide me? Qian Xu is your son, but I am not your daughter, even if I am your daughter , I also don't want my mother to ask me to be with someone I don't like."

Xiaoxu said that it would be best to let his mother down on me, whatever attitude is fine.

"I……"

"Of course, you read this news." The girl in the mask spoke again at this time, and she turned her phone to Ranran, "After a man broke up in love, his parents went to his ex-girlfriend and forced the girl to be their daughter-in-law. Now Some elders were blinded by lard, and only saw the goodness of their own children, and others were just insignificant tools in their eyes. Fortunately, the ex-girlfriend did not agree, otherwise they would be treated as reproductive machines when they went back."

Xiaoxu's mother's words were interrupted, her face was gradually darkening, I didn't change my face, but secretly curled the corners of my mouth.

Ranran "giggled" and laughed, and gave me a wink after laughing, as if giving me a secret signal.

I:……

The girl next to me stood up and picked up her bag.

No wonder I think the store smells so fragrant, but it actually smells like her perfume.

Ran also stood up, and she waved to me slightly, saying goodbye to me, and I responded with a smile.

The girl in the mask next to me turned her head and glanced at me.

What I saw the most was her side face just now, and because I was wearing a mask, I could only see the curling of her eyelashes, but now I can see her entire pair of eyes.

My heart was shocked, because I remembered these eyes, and I had seen so many photos of her in the past two days, and I already remembered what her facial features looked like.

I was about to say the word "fuck me" in my heart, but the surface was calm.

she says--

"You live forever, don't wrong yourself?"

"Little sister."
