Pretend to be straight

The box is still the same box, unchanged from the one that Shi Jinghe wanted to give to me.

I put it on the table, stared at it in a daze, and the phrase "I hope you don't dislike it" echoed in my mind.

What does that mean?Why give me this gift at this time?I could not understand.

I opened this small box to see what it was. If I remember correctly, I bought this thing in mid-September.

It is now the end of October, and a month and a half has passed.

What catches the eye are two silver stud earrings, to be precise, deer antler earrings, because the shape is antlers.

The stud earrings are not big and look very delicate. I raised my hand and touched my earlobe. The piercing was done two years ago when I first entered this industry. It might look better if I wear jewelry, but I’m lazy now. I haven't worn earrings or earrings for a while, and now I feel the piercing above the earlobe is still very obvious.

Why is it antlers? I know this because my surname is "Lu".

I looked at the two earrings, took them out in a few seconds, took a small mirror and put them on, then took out my phone and took a close-up of the ears.

It would be ugly to slap the face, so I don't want to slap it, just slap the ears with these two earrings.

But some parts of my photos were not good-looking. At least I was very dissatisfied with the photos. After thinking about it, I went out of the bedroom and knocked on Xie Ying's door.

Xie Ying's photography skills are of course much better than mine, and she has the right to dislike my skills before.

She opened the door and asked a little suspiciously, "Zhi Zhi, what's the matter?"

I handed her the phone: "Yingying, take a picture for me."

Xie Ying didn't seem to react: "Huh?" She took the phone and smiled, "Didn't you like taking pictures before? You don't like other people taking pictures of you."

I seldom take pictures with people, whether it’s him taking pictures or selfies. The reason may be that I have a little camera phobia.

Sometimes when I’m at the airport as a sailor to pick up and drop off the plane, if there are fans or photographers holding cameras to take pictures, I will feel a little nervous.

Wearing a mask is not only because I don't want people to see my face, but also because it makes me less afraid.

But I didn't tell anyone, I just showed that I didn't like taking pictures.

I bent the corner of my lips and pointed to my right ear: "Just pat the ear."

Xie Ying was already pointing her mobile phone at my face, she was stunned for a moment when she heard me say this: "Are you only patting the ears?" She saw the earrings I was wearing, and asked me, "New?"

"No, it was given by someone else." I didn't say Shi Jinghe's name, because Xie Ying's reaction would definitely not be flat.

"Zhizhi, why don't you take a side profile shot? The profile profile of famous products should be photographed."

I was about to die laughing at her words: "I beg you, stop blowing rainbow farts." But her suggestion was good, and I nodded, "Then wait a minute, I'll fix my hair, and you can slap your side face .”

I'm going to shoot the right ear. I originally planned to take a close-up of the ear, but now I've switched to a profile shot.

I brushed my hair back and pushed the right side behind my ear, exposing my own ear.

Xie Ying looked for the angle, and after a short while, she said, "Okay." She returned the phone to me, "Take a look at the effect? ​​If you think it's not good, then take another shot."

It's a photo. Behind me is the window of our living room. I lower my head slightly and wear a beautiful antler earring on my ear.

My eyes are on the earrings anyway, I don't care about my profile.

I thanked Xie Ying: "Thank you."

Xie Ying raised her eyebrows, and couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked me, "Zhi Zhi, who gave you this earring?"

She guessed the candidate right away: "Shi Jinghe?"

I'm right."

Xie Ying looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then slapped me on the shoulder suddenly: "Zhi Zhi, come on!"

After she finished speaking, she went into the bedroom and left me sitting in the living room in a daze.

Or maybe I don't know what to do with this photo. I originally wanted to send it to Shi Jinghe, but when I opened the dialog with her, I didn't want to.

Because when I sent it like this, I felt that I was very deliberate. After struggling for a while, I sent a message to Shi Jinghe: [The earrings are very beautiful, I don’t dislike them. 】

What Shi Jing said to her mother was "I hope you don't dislike it", not "I hope you like it".

Then I will tell Shi Jinghe in the same sentence pattern.

Time passed by for a few minutes, Shi Jinghe still didn't reply to me, she was really busy and tired.

I remembered her tired look yesterday, her eyes were not as bright as before.

Zhong Nian...

According to the information Pei Keran said, Zhong Nian and Shi Jinghe were together when they were in college, so it might be Yun Cai's, right?

With Shi Jing and a college?Is it a grade?

I looked through the list and found a senior who graduated in 2013 from the School of Economics I joined before, and asked her: [Sister, I have a question, was there a girl named Zhong Nian in your college before?Probably a year older than you. 】

It is already night, and the working party is off work, except for those who work overtime.

The senior sister quickly replied to me: [Let me think about it, this was several years ago. 】

【Okay thank you. 】

Not long after, the senior sister replied to me: [I vaguely remember that there is such a person. If I remember correctly, she is a good friend with my minister. 】

This senior's minister is Shi Jinghe. She must have remembered correctly when she said that.

The senior sister asked me: [What are you asking these for, primary school girl? 】

[Nothing hahaha. 】

【Thank you, senior. 】

Thinking about it now, it is really not easy to hide from everyone about dating.

But I suddenly remembered what Jin Lin said. She said that Cen Xuan told her that Shi Jinghe had told her family before.

Do you really like it that much?I like it so much that even if the other party does not admit the relationship with me when I am outside, I still have to tell my family.

Will Shi Jinghe come back on Wednesday? To be honest, I always feel that something is missing when she is not in Yuncheng.

On Tuesday, I went to Meng Yisheng's house to see if she was lying to me that she was doing well.

Her parents and strict parents were at home, and they were very enthusiastic when they saw me, and they didn't let me go, asking me when I would find someone.

Meng Yisheng was sitting on the side laughing, I glared at her, and replied to the elders: "No rush, no rush..."

I didn't see Yan Yan, Yan Yan usually went to work at this time, it would be strange if I could see it.

But when I saw Meng Yisheng, she looked good, and let me touch her belly, saying that the baby will kick her now.

Speaking of "baby", her eyes are very gentle. After all, she has been looking forward to this baby for a long time. It is now the end of October, and the baby will come to this world in more than three months.

I am also looking forward to her arrival, because she will definitely be as cute as Meng Yisheng.

After staying at her house for a while, I left. Before I left, Aunt Meng was still telling me that she knew an elder who was handsome and highly educated, and asked her if she would help me connect.

Of course I refused, and I felt a lot easier when I went out.

Being dragged by the elders to ask these things is really exhausting. They don't worry about my work, because at least I still have rent to pay and I won't be hungry.

On Wednesday, I was woken up in the morning.

The rain outside was too loud, mixed with lightning and thunder.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and the wind was loud. The outside world had already fallen into darkness. At least I only saw the angry rain.

Because the rain was too strong, Xie Ying originally planned to go shopping with her other friends, but now that it came, she didn't bother to go out.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. After looking around, she decided to make the soup, and just let me wait.

Without her, I don't even know what I would have done with today's meal, as takeout might be difficult due to the heavy rain.

After eating, I sent a message to Shi Jinghe as usual, and I asked her when she would come back. It started to rain heavily in Yuncheng before dawn.

The rain was so heavy that the windows in the living room seemed to be smashed by the strong wind, which made me a little worried.

Shi Jinghe seemed to be done with her work, so she replied to me right away: [If the rain doesn't stop at [-]:[-] p.m., then I may not be back until tomorrow. 】

[Well, safety is the most important thing. 】

My pattern of getting along with her became more and more like a friend, and it stagnated.

I don't know how to move forward, because Shi Jing and I haven't waited for the answer, and I haven't made sure whether she has forgotten Zhong Nian.

This is so critical, because I almost forgot about Qiu Yu.

Just like what Shi Jinghe said, the real line of defense is not not to mention it anymore, but to have no extra feelings in my heart when I mention it.

This is the situation I am in now. When I thought of Qiu Yu before, I still felt a little pain in my heart, but not now.

Thinking of her now, I can only think of Xiao Xu's words: There is no good thing in my ex.

It's just an excuse to say that I'm unlucky. Before that, she must have wanted to break up with me, but she suffered from no reason.

It was only one o'clock after eating and washing the dishes. The rain outside has not stopped, but the lightning and thunder have not continued. Now there is only the sound of rain.

I watched TV calmly on the surface, but I was a little anxious in my heart, hoping that the rain would stop soon so that Shi Jinghe could come back today, although I might not see her right away when she came back.

But if she is in Yuncheng, I will really feel a little bit of peace of mind inexplicably.

I stared at the phone from time to time on the sofa, clicking on this software for a while and that software for a while, and then I clicked on the photo album, and found the photo that Xie Ying took for me on the weekend night.

I bit my lip and thought for a while, clicked on Weibo, logged into the trumpet, and clicked on the private message dialog box with Shi Jinghe.

It still shows her fluent automatic reply, but the message I sent still does not show 【Read】.

I wrinkled my nose, made up my mind, and sent this photo.

Anyway, Shi Jinghe doesn't read private messages very much, so it's okay for me to post them here, right?

After sending it, I quit, switched to my own tuba, and continued to wait for the rain to stop.

But I was a little flustered, what if?What if Shi Jinghe saw that photo?Wouldn't the message I posted earlier about "Miss Sister Online Dating" also be seen?

Is it too late to withdraw now?I started to feel annoyed.

The rain is still falling, and my mood is the same as this weather, suddenly dark clouds and heavy rain pour down.

I became nervous and uneasy, but I felt that I was thinking too much. Shi Jinghe said that she doesn't read private messages very much, how could it be such a coincidence?

Right, I comforted myself like this, and found a way for my carelessness.

So I clicked on Weibo and switched to the trumpet, but Shi Jinghe didn't reply to any messages from me.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was not so uneasy anymore, I smiled and clicked on the private message dialog box with her.

And the next second, my smile froze, Xie Ying saw that I was still and asked me: "Zhizhi, what happened?"

"No..." I pretended to be calm and authentic.

On the far left side of the picture I posted, there are two words——

Have read.
