It's so late, and I don't know why she's calling at this time. I don't want to answer it.
But then I thought, it’s so late, if you don’t call me for nothing, something must have happened!
When the ringtone was about to end, I finally answered the call.
"Hey, Brother Chen, are you asleep?"
Her voice was soft and soft, as if it was something important.
I said, "I'm getting ready to go to sleep. Why are you calling me?"
She suddenly started crying, and I quickly asked her, "What's wrong with you? Don't cry. What happened?"
"No, no... It's just that I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that my father wanted to kill me..."
I thought something had happened, but it turned out to be a dream.
I was a little speechless, sighed softly and said: "Xiaoyu, if you are afraid, you can call Li Kun, he cares about you very much."
But she said to me: "Brother, I know Li Kun is very good to me, he is really very good, but I... I don't know how to say it, anyway, I just don't have much feeling for him."
She was telling the truth to me. I sighed and said to her: "Then why did you agree to give him a try?"
"Because, because I don't want to make you unhappy, I know that you have been trying to match us up, so I agreed to try to date... But, I really don't have much feelings for him."
I don’t know what to say. Of course, feelings cannot be forced.
In my silence, Cao Xiaoyu said to me again: "Brother, Brother Li Kun is a good person, and I don't want to make him sad, but I... I really have no choice."
"Do you know how happy he was when you agreed to try dating him? And just now, he asked you to go shopping together tomorrow. I can feel that he is looking forward to it."
"I know, I know, and I will go to the appointment tomorrow as promised. I really don't want to embarrass him, let alone make you sad."
"Don't get involved with me, Xiaoyu, you are an adult and you have to be responsible for every choice you make. Since you don't like him, I think you should make it clear to him tomorrow!"
On the other end of the phone, Cao Xiaoyu was silent for a while before saying: "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, go to sleep, I have to sleep."
He didn't say anything more and I hung up the phone directly.
But I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. I don’t know what Li Kun will do if Cao Xiaoyu tells Li Kun tomorrow that she doesn’t like him.
But this kind of wishful thinking should really be broken, otherwise it will only be painful in the future.
It's also my fault, I shouldn't have tried to match them up, relationships can't be forced.
After charging my phone, I finally fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I thought Xiaoman was beside me, so I said to her in a daze: "Xiaoman, go wash up quickly, daddy has sent you to school."
It wasn't until I didn't hear Xiaoman's answer that I realized that she had already gone to boarding school and today was already the second day.
I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. After all, she's only six years old. I don't know if she's used to it in school.
It's like this when you have a child. You are always worried about everything. You are worried when you are around you, and you are still worried when you are away from you.
At this moment, I finally understood how my parents felt back then.
After sitting on the bed and relaxing for a while, I went to wash up and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Li Kun also went downstairs soon. He tidied himself up and put on clean and simple clothes.
Although he is not very tall and looks a little thin, he still looks very energetic after being dressed up a little.
People like him who grew up practicing martial arts have a kind of light in their eyes that ordinary people don't have, which makes people feel very energetic.
He looked very happy and must be looking forward to today's date with Cao Xiaoyu.
I didn't want to disturb his good mood, but his good mood soon ceased to exist.
After breakfast, Li Kun came to me and said to me: "Brother, my appointment with Xiaoyu is at ten o'clock. Shall we pick her up now?"
I kind of don't want to go, because it doesn't make sense whether I go or not.
But seeing how excited Li Kun was, if I went there and told him I wasn't going, he would definitely be disappointed.
That's all, just go with him for a walk.
I nodded and said to him: "Okay, I'll go back to the house and change clothes first. You wait for me for a while."
"Yeah, okay brother."
I just went back to the room and sent a WeChat message to Cao Xiaoyu, saying to her: "Li Kun and I are ready to come over now, but I hope you don't tell him the truth first and go shopping with him for a while. I think he is very happy."
of."
She replied with the word "good" to me.
Li Kun and I went to Cao Xiaoyu's residence together. We walked through the ancient town and arrived at the East Gate in ten minutes.
Downstairs, I asked Li Kun to send a WeChat message to Cao Xiaoyu to tell her that we had arrived.
After waiting for a while, Cao Xiaoyu came down from upstairs.
She was dressed very beautifully today, wearing a European-style waist-cinching skirt. She was very stylish, high-end yet innocent.
The skirt was apricot-colored, which made her fair skin look even whiter.
When Li Kun saw her, he was full of love. As a man, I can understand his feelings very well.
He hurriedly walked towards Cao Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Good morning, Xiaoyu, you are so beautiful today."
Cao Xiaoyu glanced at me first, and then replied to Li Kun: "Well, good morning! You are also very handsome today."
Then Li Kun asked again: "Where do you want to go?"
Li Kun is indeed not very good at talking. In fact, at this time, he should take the initiative to choose a place instead of letting the woman choose. Unless they are already very familiar with each other, they should never give the woman the choice.
Cao Xiaoyu didn't want to go shopping, so she said: "Whatever."
Then Li Kun didn't know what to say.
I walked up and said, "Let's go to the county town and have a look. I heard that a new shopping mall opened a few days ago, but I haven't had time to check it out yet."
Cao Xiaoyu immediately laughed and nodded: "Okay, I heard about it too. I heard it was quite lively on the opening day."
So that's what we decided.
We walked together to the parking lot at the entrance of the ancient town. I tried not to speak the whole time, but Li Kun really didn't know what to talk about and kept silent.
But it doesn’t matter, Cao Xiaoyu will tell him soon that it’s inappropriate, so there’s no need for me to be anxious.
We arrived at the parking lot, got in the car, and headed towards the county town.
It's not far, just ten minutes' drive away.
When I came to the newly opened shopping mall, it was not that big. After all, the flow of people in the county was just that.
However, the owner of this shopping mall is still very smart. If this shopping mall is opened here, as long as it survives the early stage and waits for our resort town to develop later, the flow of people will naturally increase.
The mall is still open, and there are still some activities, such as full discounts, lucky draws, and even small activities for couples to play together.
Li Kun finally took the initiative. When we came to the activity section where couples could only play together, he mustered up the courage to say to Cao Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, I think this is quite interesting. Let's go play it!"
What he said was very good. It was not a question, which would not give girls a choice.
But I guess Cao Xiaoyu will not agree.
Sure enough, Cao Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed: "My stomach suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. I'm going to the bathroom."
"What's wrong? Is it important?" Li Kun asked anxiously and concernedly.
"It's okay, my aunt is probably here. I'm going to the bathroom."
After Cao Xiaoyu finished speaking, she walked to the bathroom. I didn't know if she avoided it on purpose, but I guessed that she would not agree to Li Kun.
But Li Kun didn't know it yet, so he continued to wait and even signed up for this event.
After a while, my cell phone rang. It was Cao Xiaoyu.
