A touch of sunrise

In a few days it will be Mid-Autumn Festival.The Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national holiday, and it falls on the weekend, but it can be closed for three consecutive days.

On Friday afternoon, several people in the office couldn't sit still. Xiao Li over there seemed to be catching up with a date, so he touched up his makeup several times with air cushion foundation. The little guy Qian Rui was also happy, and he felt radiant. Ready to go out and play after get off work.

Lu Qi looked at the people in his children's department, smiled slightly, and continued with the work at hand. Vacations and festivals were no different to him than usual.

Before the end of get off work time, several people started to move around, waiting to leave on time, when the clock on the wall rang, the sound of saying goodbye suddenly exploded.

"Manager Lu, let's go, you should go home early for the holidays too? Say first, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Well, goodbye, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Lu Qi greeted everyone with a smile as before.

When the office was empty, Lu Qi sighed and shook his head, seeing that it was still early and that he had nothing to do, he began to browse the webpage.

Suddenly, someone sent a message on WeChat. Lu Qi clicked on it and frowned slightly. A person who didn't have a deep impression of it should be a supplier who had cooperated once but never contacted again.

Lu Qi thought for a while, opened the drawer and opened the card case.No matter who gave the business cards, Lu Qi carefully put them away and sorted them one by one. Even if they were arranged separately according to the relationship, there are at least a hundred business cards in a stack of sorted ones.

Therefore, Lu Qi did not find the business card he was looking for, but he noticed the forgotten pink envelope next to the business card case.

Lu Qi watched it intently for a while, as if he was thinking about where it came from. Still thinking, he rang again on WeChat, and the party introduced himself again.

Lu Qi recognized the company that the other party reported as his family. He had cooperated with him once before, and it was definitely not a pleasant one. This time he came to contact again suddenly, and there must be goods for sale. Lu Qi smiled wickedly, and took the lead in the conversation Sexuality led him around, forcing his words back.

After weariness until the other party said that he was going to leave work, Lu Qi gave up. Seeing the time, it was time to go home. He reached for the briefcase, lifted his hand, and knocked something on the edge of the table to the ground. Qi lowered his head and saw that it was the envelope that he just took out. Suddenly, Lu Qi remembered that it was from Xiao Chen.

The material of the paper is very ordinary, and there is no such kind of gold bars or silver bars or gorgeous moon cake photos on the surface of the envelope, but simply stamped with the store's mark, and the same is true for the coupons inside. Lu Qi took them out to look, One is a coupon for a free trial of new desserts, one is a coupon for buying a mooncake gift box, and the other is a discount coupon for buying anything in the store.

Lu Qi flipped through the gift certificate and looked at the description on the back. The certificate will not expire until the end of this year, and the address of the store is not far from the company by coincidence.

As for desserts, Lu Qi didn't like much, let alone the mooncakes that were directly given away. After thinking for a while, Lu Qi finally became interested in the discount coupons. He really needed to buy some food for the next three days. At home, bread is a good choice.

Lu Qi immediately decided to go directly to that store to buy some bread to take home, instead of buying dinner.

While putting on his coat, Lu Qi's cell phone started to buzz again, and he knew which supplier was calling to negotiate prices. Lu Qi picked it up calmly, grabbed his briefcase while talking and left the office.

It seems... something has been forgotten again? !

This dessert shop gave Lu Qi the first impression that it was ordinary, but the second impression was still ordinary.In fact, it is an ordinary dessert bakery. The only thing to see is probably the pink color on the outside, which suits the girl's heart.

Because it has no characteristics and is not located on a busy street, during this time period, there are not many customers in the store. Looking in from the window outside the store, there are only two or three girls on a few small tables eating cakes and chatting.

There was a small blackboard-like notice board by the door. Lu Qi looked down. The handwriting on it was cute and matched the pink color of the whole store. It listed recent new desserts and recommended mooncakes. Qi didn't look carefully, that's not the purpose.

"Welcome!" When Lu Qi pushed the door and entered, there was an extremely spiritual greeting in his ears.

Lu Qi was a little surprised. He thought that this small shop surrounded by pink should be greeted by a tender and cute girl. Out of curiosity, he naturally raised his head to look at the source of the sound. There was a burst of surprise.

Such a tall boy actually works as a cash register in such a girly place.Like everyone who came into the store, Lu Qi's first reaction was also this idea.

After thinking about it, there is nothing else. What an irrelevant person does is not important to Lu Qi. What is important now is that he needs to buy bread to fill his stomach.

Estimating how much he would need to eat if he stayed at home for three days, Lu Qi calculated and halved the final amount. Even though he was not picky about anything and ate the same food every night, it was because he liked that kind of food compared to others. Yes, but Lu Qi doesn't particularly like bread.

Picking up a plate, Lu Qi grabbed a piece of bread whenever he saw it, regardless of whether the type was suitable for his appetite, and went to the cashier to pay the bill when the quantity was reached.

"welcome!"

Lu Qi subconsciously raised his head to look at the boy's face, and met a very sunny smiling face. Lu Qi's heart trembled suddenly, and it took two seconds before he regained his composure and began to laugh at himself in his heart.

Homosexuality, that's right, Lu Qi is a homosexual, a group of people who only have sex and love for men of the same sex as himself, and in today's terms, he is a gay.This is a fact, a fact that Lu Qi had already discovered when he was in junior high school.

Unfortunately, the tall man in front of him happened to be Lu Qi's favorite type, with a sunny smile and a youthful and handsome appearance. This kind of man seemed to have a warm aura that could wrap Lu Qi whole. The whole thing melts.

Lu Qi once fell in love with such a person deeply.

"Hello, sir, a total of 48 yuan."

Lu Qi shook his head, the corners of his mouth lightly raised, and laughed at himself for a moment. The man opposite him had already calculated the price. Lu Qi hurriedly opened his briefcase, wanting to take out the discount coupon, and asked, "I have a coupon for you." The bread and dessert coupons, just a few days ago, can I use them?"

"Of course." While answering, the man still smiled, and took out a bag with the store's imprint on it to pack the bread.

After rummaging through the three inner and outer layers of the briefcase, Lu Qi suddenly felt embarrassed, and left the ticket on the desk when he left in a hurry.

Lu Qi looked quite embarrassed now. The man at the cash register had already packed the bread, entered the price, printed the receipt, and waited for Lu Qi, who had been searching for coupons, to hand over the roll for payment.

Suddenly, my scalp started to tingle. Lu Qi is actually not stingy, let alone stingy. He has never used coupons as a treasure. With confidence, he turned the bag over and over several times just now, but the final result that he still couldn't find it was a bit like treating the discount coupon as a treasure. Lu Qi felt a little ashamed of himself.

Lu Qi coughed twice, took out his phone, adjusted his mood, and said with a smile, "Sorry, the coupon probably left in the office, so let's just calculate the original price, sorry."

The man at the cashier smiled gently, tore off the printed receipt and threw it into the trash can at his feet, pressed the number again, and replied, "It's okay, it's just a coincidence, it's also fate, and it can make Mr. Visited once."

Lu Qi nodded in response with a professional smile, but felt his face was a bit stiff. After paying the money and taking the bread bag, he was too lazy to greet him again, so the man behind him still enthusiastically said "Welcome Mr. again". Turn around and leave.

In fact, Lu Qi is a person with strong self-esteem, and he will not allow himself to do half a shameful thing in front of anyone, including such a small and insignificant thing.

All the way home, two faces always popped up in my mind, with the same vibrant smiles, and they seemed to overlap in a trance.

Back home, he took a quick shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he wiped his hair, grabbed a piece of bread and gnawed it. At this time, Lu Qi's mood returned to his usual state.

While sitting back on the sofa watching TV, the phone started to vibrate continuously. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Someone has already sent a text message of greetings and blessings. Lu Qi took the phone and looked at it for a while, then adjusted the phone settings to silent and removed it. Vibrated, and at the same time randomly selected a text message and sent it to everyone in the phone book and WeChat.

The screen of the mobile phone showed that it was being sent. Lu Qi stopped looking at it, turned the screen of the mobile phone down, put it back on the coffee table, continued to watch TV, and continued to eat bread.

Lu Qi has always hated things that are too formal.

Until Lu Qi went to bed that night, the mobile phone was left untouched on the coffee table, it flickered from time to time, until finally it ran out of power and was forced to shut down.

That night, Lu Qi suffered from insomnia, as if he was deliberately waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Qi felt very ridiculous.

The next day, even though he suffered from insomnia the night before, his biological clock still made Lu Qi wake up very early. After washing up, he grabbed some bread and gnawed on it. By the way, he also plugged his dead phone into the charger and restarted it.

As soon as the phone was turned on, another text message rushed in. This time, Lu Qi was not bored, but went through them one by one.

Whether there is a cooperative relationship or not, the basic suppliers have sent greetings, and even a few have never been saved in Lu Qi's phone book, but there is no one other than business etiquette and short messages from work colleagues.

Lu Qi has no friends in private, yes, no one at all.

Thinking of this, the corner of Lu Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

Lu Qi had maliciously cut off many contacts with many friends, including those who were once very close friends. Since then, he has no intention of making any more friends. Apart from his work partners and colleagues and relatives, Lu Qi's phone book has no friends at all. This column is also the same on his WeChat, his QQ, his email, and his contact book.

A very extreme person——Lu Qi

Flipping through the text messages on the phone, suddenly a familiar name, Lin An, jumped into his sight.Lu Qi is the only former person left in the phone book.

Lin An's greeting is very simple, just five words, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!But when Lu Qi deleted this text message and looked at the next one, the name jumped in again, how are you recently?

The message was sent around ten o'clock last night. Lu Qi looked at the words on the phone screen and lowered his eyebrows in thought.

Lu Qi thinks that based on his discord at the beginning and his understanding of Lin An's character, he can't be a person who will be idle or send text messages on such festivals when he is in a mood. There must be something I want to say something.

Lu Qi collected himself, opened the phone book in the phone, found Lin An's name, and pressed the dial button.

The phone rang and was quickly picked up.

[Hey! ]

Lin An's voice seemed a little anxious, the voice he hadn't heard for a long time made Lu Qi's heart flutter, and he calmed down for two seconds, "Hello."

[Ah...hehe, happy Mid-Autumn Festival! ]

"You too."

[……………]

"…………"

Because of the past, there was a bit too much embarrassment between the two of them, and even after such a long time, it didn't get better.

[Sure enough, we don't know what to say now. ] On the other end of the phone, there was a clear low sigh.

Lu Qi asked: "...you, what's the matter?"

[Ah, I want to tell you that I... am getting married. ]

"...Really? Congratulations." The corners of Lu Qi's mouth moved slightly, and that was all he could spit out.

[Thank you, and what I want to ask is, would you like to accept my invitation? ]

"........." Lu Qi was silent for a while, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

[It doesn't matter if you don't want to. ] The other party added.

"No... I will go." After a long time, Lu Qi gave the answer, an answer that surprised even himself.

[Great, when can we come out and meet?I want to give it to you personally. ] Lin An seemed to finally let go of his heart, and his voice sounded much more relaxed and cheerful.

"Okay, I'll get back in touch."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi had a bitter smile on his face.

Sure enough, it was the Lin An that Lu Qi knew, the Lin An who would still invite him when he was married after going through that period.

Marriage, these two words are really out of reach for Lu Qi. He is gay. Even if he can date or even live with a woman, it is impossible for him to have any physical and mental relationship with her. children, it is impossible to start a family and thus impossible to marry.

So, marry a man?No, this is even more impossible. How can same-sex marriage be allowed in this society?

Every time I think about it, even Lu Qi, who is indifferent and numb, suddenly feels the powerlessness of life.

Lu Qi continued to flip through the text messages on his mobile phone, and a name that was not familiar but had left a good impression in his heart came into view. Ru Xiaomin, a woman, was a blind date that Lu Qi couldn't avoid before, and she was also a person. No matter how you look at it, a woman who meets the requirements of a marriage partner.

After hesitating for only two seconds, Lu Qi dialed the phone.

In the evening, Lu Qi was fully dressed and ready to go out. The result of the phone call with Ru Xiaomin was that they agreed to have dinner together in the evening.

It's hard to imagine that during this kind of holiday, you can have dinner with a woman who you haven't contacted since the blind date last month. It can be seen that Ru Xiaomin still has good feelings and expectations for Lu Qi.

Lu Qi himself knew very well that he was a good marriage partner. He was not bad in appearance, did not smoke or drink, was gentle with others, had a good education background, and was already considered successful in his career. He had a house and no car, but he had a lot of savings , the conversation is full of the breath of a mature man, definitely attracting single women who want to marry.

In a high-end restaurant with an elegant environment, Lu Qi smiled at the person in front of him, and chatted with each other about some trivial topics.

Lu Qi, who was sitting there, actually didn't know why he suddenly asked Ru Xiaomin at this moment. Maybe it was because Lin An was about to get married, maybe because he suddenly figured it out and compromised his life choices, or maybe it was because he really wanted to marry Ru Xiaomin. Want to try it out.

At the end of dinner, when dessert was served, Ru Xiaomin suddenly brought the topic to dessert. She said that she knew a shop with really good desserts, and it was not a famous shop, and she discovered it by accident.

Lu Qi is not keen on desserts, but following the other party's wishes, he must show concern, so he must ask.

Ru Xiaomin smiled, suggesting that she should take Lu Qi to eat after the meal.

Lu Qi didn't care, and nodded in agreement.
