"Xiaoxue, come here quickly... You kid, work is not as important as this. Come on, there are too many people who have signed up. Today is the last day. Be good, mom is waiting for you."
"Mom, aren't you just joking... Hey, don't hang up..."
Rolling her eyes at her cell phone, Xu Xue said hello to her colleagues, reluctantly walked out of the building where the dance class was located, and took a taxi to the supermarket her mother mentioned, where registration for a "Christmas date" blind date was in progress.
"Xiaoxue, come and fill in the form. Don't miss this opportunity. You will never miss it. Mom saw that there are many outstanding boys filling out the form." Seeing Xu Xue coming, Xu's mother shook the watch in her hand at her.
He shook his head and greeted eagerly.
"Mom, please stop making trouble. If I don't fill it in, I won't even fill it in until I die." Xu Xue threw the form away angrily. Xu Xue took Xu's mother's arm and said, "Let's go home quickly. It's so embarrassing."
How old am I? Blind date, blind date, besides introducing me to a blind date, do you have nothing else to do?"
It's really unbearable. If this continues, within half a year, Xu Xue feels that her mother will drive her crazy. Especially in the past two days, there is a danger that things will get worse.
"It's okay if you don't like me. If you find a boyfriend for my mother before New Year's Day, I will let you go. How old are you? Look at the blind date. There are many girls aged 22 or 3. What's the point of being embarrassed?
"I was dragged out by Xu Xue and got into a taxi. My mother was still chattering, "I met Jiang Lu's mother a few days ago. After Christmas, Jiang Lu took his girlfriend back to China. The parents of both parties got engaged immediately after meeting.
Then we’ll get married at the end of the year.”
"Jiang Lu, he's back?" Xu Xue's voice suddenly became a little blurry, faint, as if there was an unbreakable layer between them.
"Xiaoxue..." Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, her mother immediately lowered her voice, patted her daughter on the shoulder, and whispered softly: "It's my fault, why did you mention that scumbag's name... Actually,
Mom doesn't want him to look down on you. Why is he already married and my daughter doesn't have a partner yet? The two families are not far apart, and mom is afraid that when you see him... Oh, I won't go into detail.
"
It turns out that's the case. No wonder she is even more eager to find a boyfriend these days.
"Mom, I'm fine." Xu Xue forced a smile and deliberately pretended to be nonchalant: "Isn't he just a Jiang Lu? Damn it, he is nothing. I will definitely find a man ten times better than him.
, make him mad!"
Jiang Lu's family and Xu Xue's family used to live in the same community, very close to each other. The old building was renovated half a year ago. In order not to see Jiang Lu's family from time to time, they bought a house in another place, far away from their home. However,
Unexpectedly, when we went to the vegetable market two months ago, we actually met again. After asking, I found out that the two families still lived in the same community, but they were too far apart. One was in Building 2, and the other was in Building 22, so they didn’t.
Encountered.

"You want to go back to e-market first, why?" Lan Jingtian looked at Lan Pingdi in confusion: "It's not less than two days. Why don't you go back with your parents?"
"Dad, I have never dared to tell Xu Xue that you are going back. You asked me to go back and explain it to her first so that she can be prepared. I was afraid that she would not accept me, so I never told her that our family
Actual economic conditions." Lan Pingdi told Lan Jingtian the lie he had thought of before without blinking.
"So, this girl really doesn't love money." Lan Jingtian nodded, very satisfied: "Leave this matter to dad, just say that there is an important customer who happens to be on a business trip in e-market, and we will meet him if we meet in the future.
Very rarely, have a good talk with Xu Xue, dad believes in your vision and will try his best to be on your side."
"Well, thank you dad."
Looking at Lan Jingtian's disappearing back, Lan Pingdi breathed a deep sigh of relief. Within two seconds, he sighed again, what should he say to Xu Xue.
Looking at his watch, the time in Beijing should be around two o'clock in the afternoon. He hesitated slightly and picked up the phone.
"Hey, are you..." It was a long string of unfamiliar numbers. Xu Xue nodded to her colleagues to explain it, and returned to the office holding her cell phone.
"Hi, Xu Xue, I'm Lan Ping Di."
It had been a long time since I heard this voice. Thousands of miles away, Lan Pingdi's breath suddenly and inexplicably suffocated slightly. He took a deep breath, and his voice finally calmed down.
"Lan Ping Di?" Xu Xue's mind seemed to be spinning, and Xu Xue finally reacted, "Why did you call me and go back to the e-market so soon?"
"No, I'm in France, but I'll be back to e-market soon." Lan Pingdi tried to make his voice more relaxed: "When I get back, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Ask me for help?" Xu Xue's face was full of disbelief: "Young Master Lan, you are not mistaken. How can I help you? I am at best a small citizen of E City. It is ridiculous that I can help you, Young Master Lan.
one thing."
"This matter must be done by you, Xu Xue, you won't refuse to help me, right? I remember, I saved you that day, and you said you promised to do something for me."
"Okay, I owe it to you. How stingy." Xu Xue, who never liked to owe others, nodded: "The students are waiting for me to attend class. That's it. Come find me when you come back."
"Okay! By the way, according to time, tomorrow is Christmas. I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy Christmas Eve!"
Silly girl, she agreed without asking any questions. If she wants to regret it later, she can only blame herself.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Pingdi snapped his fingers, and the corners of his beautiful lips raised a smile of success.
"Merry Christmas! Happy Christmas Eve!" She said goodbye casually. Xu Xue's heart was like a five-flavor bottle, and she was a little distracted in the dance class. Finally, she waited for the break and returned to the office alone.
These days, she often falls into insomnia at night.
Jiang Lu is coming back, bringing his rich girlfriend, getting engaged - getting married...
After such a long time, I thought I had forgotten the name, but at Christmas time, I felt deeply bitter.
"Duoduo, are you at Zhan's?" Xu Xue took out the phone she had had for a long time, thought about it, and called.
"Yeah, I'm bored at home, why don't you come to the company with me?" Yun Duo was a little worried as he held the phone and listened to the slightly lonely voice on the other end.
Every Christmas, Xu Xue would always feel a little sad. The two of them always spent Christmas Eve together, but this year, she couldn't be with Xu Xue either.
"We can't spend Christmas Eve together this year. How about having a cup of coffee downstairs with you? It's a way to celebrate in advance." Xu Xue's voice grinned with a grin on her face and looked at the mirror in the office.
She didn't want her friends to worry about her, but she really wanted to find someone to talk to.
