Not far away, familiar faces were coming, that was Chen Yuan, Su Hua, Liu Meng, Sun Lulu, and Shangguan Qin.
They are all smiling at me.
I woke up with a start, and immediately felt that my back was covered with sweat. And as soon as I woke up, a chill rose from the bottom of my heart. What did this dream mean? Could it be that they were calling me?
No, that's not the case. After a while, I understood that this was my subconscious telling myself: You can't go on like this, otherwise you will go to them soon. No, there should be another meaning,
That is, this dream also represents my longing for them.
In fact, I was very scared in my heart, because I highly doubted that this dream had a prophetic effect, but I was unwilling to believe it in my heart.
At this moment, I couldn't help but start to hesitate: Do I really want to go abroad?
However, when I thought about this problem, I finally understood the meaning of my dream - my subconscious actually didn't want to go out, because I also understood that the result of my going out this time was probably nothing.
This dream of mine gave me a very good reason not to go out: I would probably encounter danger if I went out.
Ultimately, the purpose of this dream was that my own subconscious was threatening me to make me cancel my plan to go abroad. The final fundamental factor was Governor He, because she also advised me not to go abroad.
If I don't go out, I might be able to undo the potentially serious consequences of not getting to her in time last night.
Maybe, this is the true meaning of this dream?
In fact, I am not completely sure. But after thinking about this possibility, I am no longer afraid. At the same time, I hate my hesitation and cowardice in my heart.
My whole body still feels sore, so I really want to continue sleeping here, even if I continue to have such nightmares.
But I got up immediately because I received a phone call, and this phone call forced me to get up immediately and leave here immediately.
The call was from Nursery Rhyme. She said to me on the phone: "I am eating at my mother's place and I want to meet you. Come quickly."
I have to admit that she is the woman I care about most in my life, or one of the women. Because no matter when she calls me, I will go to her without hesitation.
She has an irresistible power over me that makes me unable to resist or want to resist. For her, I am willing to do anything.
Is this also a kind of fate?
The best time for the restaurant's business is supposed to be in the evening, but when I arrived here at noon today, I found that the entire lobby and private rooms were basically full.
Nowadays, almost all the wild fish from the village where Shangguanqin once helped the poor have been shipped here, and the sales of the tofu fish series are getting better and better. Because it is wild fish, and the unique fragrance of tofu made by traditional craftsmanship, this
Although the prices of the series of dishes are getting higher and higher, diners still flock to them.
When nursery rhyme's mother saw me, her eyes narrowed with laughter. The old lady's spirits were getting better and better. She came over and said to me with a smile: "Doctor Feng, you haven't been here for a long time."
I smiled and said, "I've been too busy lately."
The old lady looked at me and said, "You don't look right. You should pay more attention to rest."
It only made me feel embarrassed in front of such a shrewd old lady. She gave me the feeling that she had seen through my indulgent situation. I hurriedly said: "I have been catching up on materials recently, and I often stay up late."
The old lady sighed: "Young people should pay more attention to their health."
It didn't sound like it. I didn't want to talk about this topic with her anymore, "Where is the nursery rhyme? Where is she sitting?"
She said: "It's not here yet. It's almost here."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: What she said on the phone seemed to be that she had arrived a long time ago and was waiting for me. I didn't expect that she was lying to me. I looked at the hot scene in the restaurant and said, "Auntie, business seems to be good recently."
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes. Dr. Feng, now that our main dishes are becoming more and more famous, business will certainly be good."
I nodded and muttered, "Maybe we can open a branch."
The old lady didn't seem to understand, "What did you say?"
I hurriedly said: "Nothing. Haha! I was wondering if I could open a branch or something. My mother is bored at home, maybe I can find something for her to do."
The old lady immediately looked very happy and said, "Okay. Then we will transplant all the signature dishes here."
I smiled and said: "That's your technology. When the time comes, it will be considered as your technology investment."
The old lady hurriedly said: "What kind of stocks does technology invest in? I also invest money."
I looked at her in surprise, "Didn't your money go to buy a house? Can you still come up with the money?"
The old lady smiled and said: "This girl, she has sold that house and made more than 200,000 yuan."
I couldn't help but feel sorry for Nursery Rhyme, "Sold it so quickly? Really. The profit of more than 200,000 yuan is too little."
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of nursery rhymes coming from behind me, "What are you saying bad things about me behind my back?"
The old lady said hurriedly: "I am discussing with Dr. Feng about opening a branch."
Tongyao smiled and said: "Okay. It's great to open a branch. I'll also join in."
I noticed that she was looking more and more beautiful, but she seemed a little haggard. I looked at her and sighed: "Why did you sell that house so early? What a pity."
But she glared at me and said, "People must be content. Do you understand? I earned more than 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to my salary in the past ten years."
Suddenly thinking about the fact that the old lady didn't know she no longer had a job, I hurriedly said: "That's true."
The old lady left a space for us, and Tongyao and I sat down and the dishes came out quickly. The same dishes we used to eat were still on the table, and the main course was still tofu and crucian carp.
I glanced at her in front of me and said, "What's going on? You brought me here in such a hurry. I thought you had arrived early."
She looked at me and smiled, "It's okay. I just haven't seen you for a long time. I want to have a meal and chat with you. How about it? Are you okay now?"
I nodded, "That's it anyway."
Her face suddenly turned red, "Still alone?"
I nodded again.
But she immediately said: "No. Then why do you often stay in hotels?"
I was shocked and looked at her in astonishment. I found that she was looking at me with a half-smile, as if she had seen through everything about me...
At this moment, I suddenly remembered something that a nursery rhyme once told me: the police can find out the situation of most people at any time. As long as they use their ID cards, bank cards or other things that contain personal information, the police will
Can be viewed at any time.
Just now, when I heard a nursery rhyme ask me that question, I immediately felt ashamed. An instinctive reaction showed up immediately, and my instinct was to lie and defend.
Lying is not my instinct, but the instinct of all of us. The instinct to lie and habitual lying are two different concepts. Instinct is for protection, and habit is a matter of character.
In fact, from small businessmen to multinational corporations, from ordinary people to political leaders, from babbling children to intelligence agents, from Hemingway to Greenspan, lying is a protective color, while honesty is a scarce commodity.
Because it is easier to lie than to tell the truth, it comes from the human instinct of self-protection. There are many motives for lying - for vanity, to cover up mistakes, we lie; fear of being criticized, ignored, rejected, fear of losing status, power and
Huge profits, we lie. There are many types of lies, white, gray, black, malicious, well-intentioned, big and small.
At this moment, I instinctively lied, "We are receiving guests, of course I have to stay in the hotel to accompany them."
But the nursery rhyme then said quietly: "Hey! Why can't you change your old habits? Feng Xiao, I have been thinking, if we really get together, will you still be like this?
"
She saw through my lies. She used to be a police officer, so it was easy for her to see through my lies.
Research shows that human expressions of anger, disgust, satisfaction, fear, surprise, happiness and sadness are innate and are universal across cultures, fields and globally. From the United States to Japan, from Brazil to Papua New Guinea, no matter
Regardless of language and culture, the changes in facial muscles caused by these seven basic emotions are roughly the same. Moreover, the expression of emotions is subconscious and basically difficult to suppress or conceal. Of course, we can also give it a try. But when we
When we lie, micro-expressions caused by strong emotions fly past our faces so quickly that we have no time to stop them. Fortunately for people who lie, 99% of people cannot see these expressions
A fleeting sign of inner pain that would go undetected by sophisticated psychologists and sharp police officers.
There is only one kind of person who will not show such subtle changes in expression when lying, and that is a disguised genius. I am not a genius, so I can quickly spot it through nursery rhymes.
Her words made me feel ashamed. I said to her in my heart: No, I won't. This is who I am and I can change because of you. You didn't give me a chance, so I felt there was no need to change myself.
There should be such a causal relationship, not what you think.
However, I don't want to say such words, because I feel that such words have become meaningless now. She has reconciled with Fang Qiang, and there is no chance for me anymore.
Therefore, I feel that there is no need for me to lie anymore, let alone explain anything in front of her, "Tongrong, this is my private matter. Right? In other words, these things are my privacy. We will not discuss this issue.
Okay?"
I immediately saw her face change, and this momentary change in her face immediately made me regret it, because I felt that I might have hurt her. Fortunately, her face immediately changed to
Normal, but she was looking at me with a kind of melancholy in her eyes, "Feng Xiao, we are friends, right? I don't want to interfere in your personal affairs, and I don't have the right, but we are friends, and as friends, I
I think I should remind you: you are single now and you want to fall in love. Even if you are dating a single woman just for fun or because you are lonely, no matter what the reason is, there is no problem. However, those who are married
