"Haha!" At this moment, Ye Shuiyou suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.
"Why are you laughing? I haven't finished speaking yet." Xiao Lan frowned and said.
"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt you."
Xiao Lan then continued his story.
After Chen Baosheng introduced him, he then introduced the boss: "This is Boss Ouyang. Hey, you can't call me boss, you have to call me uncle. Let's take the turn of the protagonist at this moment."
Ouyang Yifei. Yifei, you have to call me uncle."
"Boss Ouyang?" Xiao Lan suddenly stopped talking and froze there.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Ye Shuiyou became excited after hearing this and hurriedly urged.
For a moment, Xiao Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the image of Boss Ouyang appeared in Xiao Lan's mind. And it seemed that Xiao Lan had just seen that image.
"No, is that him?" Xiao Lan whispered to himself.
"Who are you talking about?" Ye Shuiyou, who was next to him, was confused by Xiao Lan's reaction and asked hurriedly.
Hearing what Chen Baosheng said at that time, Ouyang Yifei smiled slightly and didn't say much. Xiao Lan quickly glanced at her, but unexpectedly his eyes met hers. The girl was really shy and her eyes were full of shame.
Looking at him with apprehension.
This confirmed Chen Baosheng's introduction beforehand. Xiao Lan thought, it seems that this girl really has no intention of "blind date" towards him, otherwise there would be no shyness on her face and no avoidance in her eyes.
She looked directly at him expressionlessly, as if she were looking at someone of the same sex or a passerby. This is no wonder, because according to Chen Baosheng, her father had asked someone to introduce her to several people, all of whom came from scholarly families. After meeting her,
She was "killed", Xiao Lan thought, she had experienced such "meetings" countless times.
After the introduction, while drinking Japanese green tea, he felt that the eyes of the father and daughter were always staring at his face. Although he knew that this was just completing a task for him, he still felt a little embarrassed. He even
He felt that there was a condescending sense of superiority in their eyes, which looked more like choosing a nanny than looking for a son-in-law. This made his embarrassment almost turn into a kind of anger.
The girl's father asked: "How old are you?"
"I... am twenty-three."
"Aren't you a graduate student? Why are you only twenty-two years old?"
Chen Baosheng quickly covered it up for him, "The one who just passed the exam is not twenty-two years old. He is young and promising."
What Xiao Lan fears most is that they ask him his zodiac sign, because he has no common sense about what a 23-year-old should be. But the girl's father just asked Chen Baosheng:
"Didn't you originally say that he is twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old?"
Chen Baosheng forced himself to pretend to be stupid: "No, no, twenty-three years old, I always said twenty-three years old. Oh, how old are you this year?"
The father said for his daughter: "They are the same age." Chen Baosheng smiled forcefully: "That's just right, just right."
Next, Chen Baosheng asked both men and women to report their birth months. Xiao Lan said that he was born in May, and the girl's father said that the girl was born in October. Chen Baosheng high-fived and said, "It's appropriate. The boy should be older than the girl."
The girl's father ignored Chen Baosheng and continued to question Xiao Lan in an overly serious manner:
"How many brothers and sisters do you have at home?"
"It's just me."
Chen Baosheng smiled and interjected: "His parents are both intellectuals, so family planning is good."
"What do your parents do?"
"Engaged in metal materials research."
"Which unit are you in?"
"They have been abroad for several years. They have set up a laboratory with several German scientists." (Xiao Lan is really smart and doesn't think twice about lying.) "Then you will also go to Germany in the future.
?”
"Maybe I want to go, but I have to finish college first. Oh, I have to finish graduate school first." He almost let it slip unintentionally, but the girl's father didn't pay attention.
The atmosphere of this "blind date" was very different from Xiao Lan's imagination beforehand. The girl's father kept asking questions about his age and parents, as if checking his household registration. The girl kept looking at him, like
Looking at something with a straight look and no expression made him feel very uncomfortable. Although he was just a role for Professor Chen to handle errands, or simply a prop, the "evening situation" was still
It made him feel humiliated. He almost regretted coming here to take such a foolish risk. He watched Chen Baosheng and the girl's father chatting about project development, loan guarantees and other business experiences, and he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted. What happened next.
He was so angry that he almost didn't eat the food that was served, and except for briefly answering one or two questions, he remained silent until the end, in order to show his due integrity.
The girl's father didn't ask him any more questions, and they parted ways simply after the dinner. They didn't ask him to leave his phone number or contact address, nor did they leave him any agreement. Chen Baosheng drank a few glasses of sake.
, who was slightly drunk and could not tell, made an appointment with the girl's father to meet tomorrow and said that we would discuss it in detail tomorrow. The girl's father was very cold and said yes.
Xiao Lan did not go back to school. His quilts and sheets were all sent to be unpacked and washed, and he could not pick them up until the next day at the earliest. He went home alone at night. He turned on the TV but was not in the mood to watch it. Until he turned off the lights and went to bed, he was still thinking about the night.
Wimpy felt angry. Fortunately, the next morning he completely forgot about last night's bad mood. He got up very early and rushed to school on time for the first class. At noon, he unstoppably ate a big meal.
The lunch box contains rice and two delicious dishes, because he didn't eat enough last night.
After class in the afternoon, he and his classmates from the department were playing football on the playground. Chen Baosheng came to see him and stood on the edge of the playground and waved to him.
He ran to the sidelines and asked with a smile: "Professor Chen, your project has been negotiated, how do you think you should thank me?"
Chen Baosheng looked at him strangely and asked, "Do you know what they said to me today?"
Xiao Lan said formally: "I know, that woman can't tell. I don't like that boy at all. That boy is not strong enough and has no feeling. His father said, Manager Chen, Professor Chen, if this doesn't work, then
Please help me find another one. Let’s have another meal at...at Shangri-La tonight, hahaha!"
Chen Baosheng sneered: "You're half right. Her father doesn't like you. He thinks you're too young. You're still a child and can't take care of you. But you can't guess that this time it's all fake."
It’s true. She said she thinks you are good and she agrees to be friends with you. She and her father had a fight about this last night. Her father firmly disagreed. As for her, she doesn’t want to marry unless you.
Come on. Tell me how did this happen? If you really want to reconcile with Yifei, her father will have to blame me!"
Xiao Lan was stunned by what he said. He couldn't figure out whether Chen Baosheng was joking or serious. He stopped him and said: "Wait, wait, Professor Chen, she agrees and I don't agree yet, please spare me."
, I have completed the task for you. You promised me that it is just one meal, and after that we all go our separate ways. You must not cause me to get into so many dirty things!"
Chen Baosheng blinked and nodded reluctantly: "That's right, that's right."
Chen Baosheng said this, but at night he still ran to the school library to find Xiao Lan. He called Xiao Lan out of the quiet reading room and into the corridor where no one was around, and said: "Hey, this matter is still
It’s really troublesome. You’re not looking for me again. I have to ask for your phone number. What do you think I should do?”
Xiao Lan felt a little annoyed: "Just say that I didn't like her when we met that day."
"That won't work. That girl has a very strong self-esteem. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Don't hurt others with your words."
"Then you said I don't have a phone, which is true. The phone in our dormitory is particularly difficult to call, and they won't call me even if I get through."
Chen Baosheng groaned twice, lowered his head and thought about something, then raised his head and said, "Do you have a QQ number? If not, give her your QQ number."
Xiao Lan does have a QQ account, but he said: "No, I won't give it to her if she does."
Xiao Lan turned around and wanted to leave, but Chen Baosheng stopped him: "Hey, you have to tell me how to talk to me."
Xiao Lan wanted to say that this is your own business and has nothing to do with me, but after all, Chen Baosheng's dignity as a teacher had to be taken into consideration, so he had to patiently say: "If it doesn't work, just say that I have friends."
"Are you kidding me? I'll take you to meet your friends now."
"Then you can say that I went out of town on urgent matters, or you can say that I have just been diagnosed with hepatitis A, tuberculosis, or epilepsy. Otherwise, you can say that I have committed a crime and have the public security bureau arrest me. Whatever you want
Say, ah, I don’t care!”
Chen Baosheng patted him on the neck: "You kid, you don't want the good things that come to your door. You deserve it."
Chen Baosheng left with a wry smile...
"What happened next?" Ye Shuiyou asked with his eyes widened.
"Later? There will be no later." Xiao Lan said calmly.
"Oh, it's boring." Ye Shuiyou hit Xiao Lan with a pink fist and complained.
"I'm just telling you what you asked me to do. I told you all the things that happened when I was in college." Xiao Lan looked very innocent, but he didn't know the purpose of Ye Shuiyou's question, so he could only tell the truth.
This is Xiao Lan. Maybe he can lie very calmly in front of the other girl's father, but he can't lie in front of Ye Shuiyou.
But no matter what, through today's narration, Xiao Lan actually discovered a very important clue. He is so familiar with the girl and the girl's father. The reason why he described the following part of the narration in as much detail as possible,
Just so that he could quickly retrieve the few memory fragments of the girl and her father that remained in his brain, but now it seems that he has done it. The image and basic information of the girl and her father are in Xiao Lan
