Pretend to be straight

I know, I shouldn't hesitate any longer.

If you miss this village, there will be no store here. This is the second time Shi Jinghe has asked me if I want a gift. If I answer "no" again, will Shi Jinghe want to block me.

Because I don't give face.

But I... really don't want to.

First, I am not familiar with her. Although I will become more and more familiar with her if my pursuit of her becomes smoother in the future, but that will be a matter of the future.

Second, I don’t like to owe others, even if it’s just a gift, if someone buys it for me, I’ll buy another one and return it back. Let’s say it’s reciprocal, but I personally don’t like this kind of behavior.

Because I don't have to spend money at all, but I feel a little uncomfortable when I have to passively spend money in exchange for gifts.

But the other party is Shi Jinghe, the one I want to attack, I have to answer "yes".

Otherwise, there may be no follow-up, my mission will be directly declared a failure, and Dai Sheng and the others will find the next lucky one to pursue her.

I lowered my eyelids, and when I was about to type a reply, Shi Jinghe also sent me a message: [It seems that I still don't want it, so forget it, good night. 】

...?

I haven't said anything yet!

But sometimes the other party's delayed non-response is a kind of answer, so she sends a message like this.

Alright, let's turn the page on the gift thing.

So the question comes back to the main thread: when will she return to Yuncheng?

That's how I asked.

But a few minutes passed, and I didn't wait for an answer.

She ignored me.

......

Forget it, I'll go to sleep.

When I woke up, the sun outside was shining on my desk, and the three pennants on the bay window turned bright red into dark red because they were facing the sun.

I propped myself up and took two mobile phones from one side at the same time to see which one had the message.

It turned out that I had both, so I yawned and unlocked my life phone first.

Xie Ying told me that if I was going out today, I would help bring the trash from last night, she forgot to throw it away.

I said yes, got it.

Meng Yisheng also sent me a message, saying that she wanted to eat spicy food very much this morning, and asked when I would have time to go with her.

I said that I have time in these two days, so I can go with her tomorrow.

And then...the news about Shi Jinghe, only two short words.

【today. 】

Other than that, I didn't have much to say. I rubbed my head, feeling that I wasn't fully awake yet, otherwise why wouldn't I know what to reply to her.

As for the work mobile phone, some new customers sent me friend requests, and some old customers asked me if I had time.

This old customer is Qin Yiwen who ended his "love relationship" with me two days ago. Our chat interface is when he sent me the final payment.

He asked: [Lu Lu, can I renew the contract? 】

I:......

To be honest, I don't want to take his orders anymore, because it has left a psychological shadow on me, and the sentence "Look at your boyfriend is handsome" shocked me a lot.

If there is really a three-year age difference, he is childish and terrifying in my eyes.

But I can't refuse directly, I have to decline, so I just told him that I don't have time for two days.

I just don't have time, I want to accompany Meng Yisheng to eat spicy food, and I have to meet Shi Jinghe.

I won't see her again, I'm afraid she will forget what I look like, so I immediately took my phone and sent an invitation: 【So do you have time to have dinner together tonight? 】

The excuse was of course because of Jin Lin's affairs.

Why am I so double-standard?

On the one hand, I felt that I didn't play the role of cousin Jin Lin anymore, but when Jin Lin needed care and love, she acted so indifferently.

But after turning around, she used the identity of "cousin Jin Lin" to cheat, just to achieve her own goal.

But the cold water of reality woke me up, because Shi Jinghe told me that she had something to do tonight, and added "no need".

You don't need to invite her to dinner to express your gratitude, that's what it means.

I:......

That's fine, don't worry, I can still afford it.

So the appointment with Meng Yisheng to eat spicy food tomorrow turned into tonight, she readily agreed, and asked her husband to book a restaurant.

In the end, it was settled at Pu Xin's shop.

Then by the way, we can meet Pu Xin again, just as we haven't had dinner together for a while.

It is still a small private room, and the number of people has changed from the previous fixed two to three.

The two of them knew each other because of me. I was their mutual friend, and we both went to the same school before.

While pouring me a drink, Pu Xin asked Meng Yisheng: "Yisheng, you are pregnant now, can you really eat spicy food?" She glanced at Meng Yisheng who was immersed in eating, "I really want to give you the boiled pork slices in your bowl. You rinse it with water, lest your husband turn around and say that my food is too spicy and give a bad review."

Meng Yisheng raised her head, her mouth was greasy, and her eyes were wide open: "Dare he?"

"Hahaha." I smiled and picked up the freshly filled orange juice and said before drinking, "Pu Xin, don't forget that Yan Ke is a strict wife."

Yan Ke is Meng Yisheng's husband. I seldom see him because he is quite busy with work and spends his spare time with Meng Yisheng.

Like tonight, he is working overtime, and those of us who are "loafing around" are having dinner together.

Meng Yisheng is the only married person here. I think she got married quite early.

I got married after graduating from my senior year. I was only 21 years old at that time, and I was the earliest among all my friends to get married.

"You can eat spicy food, but not too spicy, as long as it's in moderation. Don't worry, I'll eat porridge later."

"Mmm, good." I felt relieved, I had never been pregnant before, and I had no experience at all.

"Hey." Pu Xin held up the goblet and shook it, the red wine in the glass swayed with the shaking, her sigh was followed by her question, "When can I get married?"

I wiped my mouth with a piece of toilet paper and asked her amusedly, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to get married too?"

I thought she was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that she really nodded: "A little bit."

Meng Yisheng was stunned, she put her hand on Pu Xin's forehead, and frowned slightly: "I don't have a fever."

Pu Xin took off her hand, and said with a smile, "Go away." She said, "Oh, I just watched too many videos on Weibo, so I kind of want to fall in love, get married, and get married." A lovely baby is born."

Meng Yisheng put down his chopsticks: "Hurry up! After getting married and having a baby in the past two years, you can even make a baby kiss with my daughter!"

"Hahaha! Yes!"

I:"......"

I licked my lower lip and asked, "Then Pu Xin, do you have someone you like now?"

She nodded and shook her head again, and finally heard her say: "Forget it." She recalled it carefully, "I just met a few days ago, and I didn't add WeChat for a long time. When I saw him, my heart beat very fast. I will think of him when I see him. It’s just that I don’t know him well enough, so I feel that it will not be so fast to confess my love.”

She said: "At least three months later, if I still have such a heart-wrenching feeling after three months, I will tell him that I like him."

I nodded slightly: "That's it..."

Meng Yisheng started to eat green vegetables, she asked: "Then what if he doesn't like you?"

"I knock! Is there anyone who doesn't like me?" Pu Xin almost slapped the table, "I have a big breasts, thin legs, long face, and a beautiful living vixen. Who wouldn't like me? Which man won't be seduced by me?"

Meng Yisheng almost gagged her mouth with food: "I beg you to show some face."

I laughed dumbfounded, Pu Xin was still the same Pu Xin, confident and bold.

The two of them chatted lively, and I seemed to be a little more silent.

Because what Pu Xin said stimulated me, another good friend of mine may embark on the road of love and marriage in the future, I am happy and blessed.

While their paths are basically the same, I'm the only woman in my circle of friends who isn't straight.

I seem to have an enchantment with their world. I don't want to get married or have children. Even in love, I think "I should fall in love" instead of "I want to fall in love".

Just one word, but there is a world of difference.

I suddenly remembered Shi Jinghe. I haven't seen her for a long time now. I haven't seen her since the school left that day.

She is too busy, either on a business trip or something.

I scratched my hair, took the phone on the side, frowned, and called Shi Jinghe.

Seeing that I was on the phone, Pu Xin and Meng Yisheng both lowered their voices a little.

I propped my elbows on the table, waiting for Shi Jinghe to answer the phone.

Actually, I didn't know what to say, but I subconsciously felt that I should make a phone call.

It's always good to keep in touch, isn't it?

But there was no answer there, and when I was about to hang up, I finally got through.

But the voice was childish and milky, the person who answered the phone was not Shi Jinghe, but Mao Mao.

She said, "Sister Zhizhi, my sister has dysmenorrhea."

"It's so pathetic," she said.

"I'm too young to take care of her," she said.

She asked, "Do you want to come and see her?"
