"Oh, I am..." Luo Jie nodded, stood up and pulled out the chair for the other party, "Would you like something to drink?"
"Ah. Thank you. Just water will do."
The girl put her handbag on her lap, her fingertips turning white when holding the handbag, and she was obviously a little nervous.
Luo Jie smiled and asked the waiter for a glass of mineral water.
Although this blind date was just a formality, he felt quite fond of the girl in front of him at this moment.
When Luo Jie was talking to the waiter, the girl in the yellow dress was also looking at him secretly. A trace of surprise suddenly flashed in her clear eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she asked cautiously: "Excuse me...are you Luo Jie?"
?”
Luo Jie couldn't help but froze when he heard the other party calling out his full name. He looked at the other party carefully for a while, and then he vaguely found a familiar feeling between those delicate eyebrows.
"Are you...Bai Xuerou?"
Luo Jie was also surprised. He didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance during the blind date.
This Bai Xuerou was his class monitor in high school. Not only was she good at studying, but she was also very beautiful.
Due to her extremely white skin, she was always called "Snow White" by students in private. She was the dream lover of almost all the boys in the school, and even had many admirers from other schools.
Luo Jie remembered that Bai Xuerou in her previous life seemed to have been admitted to a well-known university in the capital, and then she was never heard from again, but he never expected that he would meet her again in such an awkward way in this life.
After confirming Luo Jie's identity, Bai Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slight smile: "I just looked a bit similar, but I didn't expect it was really you... By the way, why did you come on a blind date? Where's Xiaoshi? Listen.
You said you were admitted to the same university, are you not together now?"
"Xiao Shi..."
Luo Jie scratched his face, this was where his embarrassment lay.
Xiao Shi was his girlfriend in high school and Bai Xuerou's classmate. It was because of this relationship that Bai Xuerou and he were so familiar.
Seeing Luo Jie's hesitant expression, Bai Xuerou realized that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just asked casually. After all, Xiaoshi and I haven't been in touch for a long time.
…”
Luo Jie shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's all in the past, and there's nothing we can't say... The two of us broke up when we were about to graduate, and she went to the south with the seniors from the previous class. Of course, there was no talk of it.
Who is right and who is wrong can only be said to be two people’s different concepts of life.”
"That's right, it's such a pity." Bai Xuerou agreed with a vague understanding and did not continue to ask.
Perhaps in Bai Xuerou's view, Luo Jie was in a period of hurt, but in fact, for the reborn Luo Jie, this incident was already a thing of the past seven or eight years ago, and he could hardly even remember the appearance of his first girlfriend.
, naturally there is nothing to be sad about.
"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you... Squad Leader Bai, why did you come on a blind date?"
Luo Jie's tone was a bit joking, but he was indeed a little curious.
After all, with Bai Xuerou's excellent personal conditions, not to mention the suitor's talent, at least he should not be reduced to the miserable situation of needing a blind date to solve personal problems.
"Ah, this..."
This time it was Bai Xuerou's turn to be embarrassed. She crossed her slender jade fingers back and forth a few times, as if she was hesitating whether she should say it to Luo Jie.
"If it's not convenient to say it, forget it."
Luo Jie smiled nonchalantly. He was just here to go through the motions, so he would not force anyone to do anything.
Bai Xuerou bit her lip subconsciously, took a deep breath, stared at Luo Jie as if she had made a lot of determination, and asked with a very solemn expression: "Luo Jie, can you answer my question truthfully? For
This blind date...are you serious?"
Luo Jie was a little surprised. He didn't understand what Bai Xuerou wanted to express with this question. After thinking about it for a while, he said truthfully: "Actually, I was caught to take over the job. I wanted to go through the motions and leave, but I didn't expect to meet him.
Squad Leader Bai, you..."
Hearing what Luo Jie said, Bai Xuerou couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, with an expression of relief on her face.
"Luo Jie, can you do me a favor?"
"you say."
If it's not too much trouble, Luo Jie wouldn't mind helping this old classmate with some small favors.
"Pretend that this blind date is successful, pretend... we have become boyfriend and girlfriend." Bai Xuerou's fingers unconsciously wrapped around the ends of her hair, her face flushed, and she was very embarrassed, "And it is very likely that I will bother you again in the future.
Come with me to meet my family... I also know that this matter will definitely make you very embarrassed, but I really have no other way."
Luo Jie was stunned for a while and then said: "It's okay to help, but can I know the reason?"
Since she was asking for help, Bai Xuerou couldn't hide anything anymore. She sighed softly and said, "Actually... I have a boyfriend."
Luo Jie felt more and more unable to understand this squad leader Bai, and asked puzzledly: "Then why do you still come on a blind date?"
If Bai Xuerou hadn't taken the initiative to confess, he would have almost suspected that the monitor was actually looking for a spare tire.
Bai Xuerou shook her head, with a wry smile of unknown meaning appearing on her face.
"For some special reasons, I can't bring him to my family, or even let them know about his existence..."
Luo Jie nodded vaguely, and already had a rough guess in his mind. It was estimated that the man's condition was probably not very good, and Bai Xuerou was afraid that her parents would forcefully separate the two of them when they found out, so she had no choice but to take this step.
"Then...how long do you plan to keep it a secret?"
"I don't know either." Bai Xuerou shook her head again, her beautiful eyes showing a little confusion, "Now we can only take one step at a time... But based on my understanding of my parents, I'm afraid they will never accept that person.
of."
It sounds like a third-rate bitter romance drama from the 1990s... Could it also involve some grudges and grudges between the two generations of parents?
However, no matter how outrageous the plot was, it was still someone else's private matter. Luo Jie didn't express any opinions and continued to be a spectator.
After chatting for a while about their current situation, Luo Jie and Bai Xuerou exchanged their mobile phone numbers, WeChat and other contact information, and then hurriedly ended the blind date, which they didn't know whether to consider as a success or a failure.
…
In the blink of an eye, two days of rest passed, and the damn Monday came again.
Under Luo Jie's constant urging, Luo Lu finished the strangely nutritious breakfast in front of her with a grimace, then reluctantly picked up the pink Peppa Pig schoolbag and boarded the school bus parked at the gate of the community.
.
"Luo Jie, I hate you! Why can't you get rich overnight and let me live a depraved life where I don't have to study and still have money to spend?"
Complaints are complaints, and those who should get out must get out.
Luo Lu attended a kindergarten-preschool boarding school, and sending this little girl away meant that Luo Jie had five full days of private time.
