I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I should pay for the meal. I'm a man."
She said to me softly: "Smile, let's take it slow, okay?"
I said, "Well, let's take it slow. You're right. We need to get to know each other slowly and accept each other."
She said: "I have been going to your house a lot recently. My aunt has left, and now I have nothing to do at night. I went to a music bar a few days ago, and now I find it is very noisy. And I feel that I have become quite
Ridiculous. Laugh, did you think I was childish and ridiculous before?"
I didn't quite understand what she said, "What's so funny?"
She said: "I used to hang out with those students all day long and go there to sing every night. I thought I was pursuing a dream. Don't you think I'm ridiculous?"
I said: "I don't think there's anything funny about you? I also had dreams when I was young. This is a normal thing, and I was quite envious of you at the time. I felt that I should be as young as you.
How good it is."
She immediately laughed, "That's what you said! You are not old now? Why are you so old-fashioned?"
I said: "Although I am not old, my mentality is old. After all, I have to face so many things every day, and the officialdom is too complicated. I am careful every day and treat everything like walking on thin ice."
Things. Chenchen, I only feel a lot more relaxed when I am with you. But to be honest, I am also very nervous in front of you because I am afraid that you will leave me again. "
She said softly: "Smile, do you really care about me that much?"
I said to her sincerely: "Yes. Chenchen, I really care about you, from the bottom of my heart."
Her voice became softer, "Laughing, why? Don't be angry, I'll tell you first... you have seen beautiful women so many years ago, why don't you care about them?"
I suddenly became nervous again, because I didn't expect that she would suddenly ask me such a question at this time, and she mentioned my past things again. But she had already explained it in advance, so
It means that her purpose is just to ask me such a question, and has no other meaning.
However, this question is the most difficult for me to answer because I have never told her the truth.
Now, I have learned a lot about her. She is actually sensitive and insecure. Because of this, she is always struggling with such problems. Although her problems are enough to prove that I am in her
It holds a very important place in her heart, but it still shows that she is extremely uneasy about me.
But I had to answer her question, "Chenchen, it's hard to explain one person's feelings for another, isn't it? In the end, it's just a feeling."
She said: "Smile, don't deal with me like this. You have experienced so much, and you will never fall in love with others casually. I don't know much about other things, but I know this. You said you like
I, I completely believe it, because I’m not stupid, I can see it and feel it.”
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed in my heart, "Chenchen, aren't you going to come to my place on the weekend? Let's talk slowly then, okay?"
She immediately sounded a little angry and said, "If you don't want to answer me now, are you going to slowly make up a story for me?"
I immediately became anxious, "Chenchen, why did you say that? In fact, you are right. I like you for a reason, but I think it is inconvenient to talk to you on the phone, and it can easily cause misunderstandings.
That’s why I want to talk to you about this matter slowly after we meet.”
Her voice became softer again, "Smile, don't tell me that I look like your first love! Such an excuse is too weak."
I couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Chenchen, don't tell me, it's just like that. Let's talk about it slowly after we meet. Okay?"
She immediately laughed, "Really? Impossible, right? Hehe! Several boys have said this to me before, and I knew it was a lie as soon as I heard it!"
I hurriedly said: "But what I said is true! I am not a young man anymore, why would I use such vulgar tricks to lie to you?"
She smiled and said: "Okay, you said that, I'm very curious. When I see you, you have to tell me the details? Don't lie!"
I said, "I said it myself, so how could I lie? By the way, the key to my car is in the drawer on the far right of my study. You can get it at any time. But Chenchen, I suggest you don't move the car yet."
, after all, you rarely drive it on weekdays, I will let Xiao Sui take you there. How about it?"
She said: "Yeah."
I said again: "Well, if you want to come during the weekend, I will ask Xiao Sui to pick you up."
She said: "What if you want to use the car? What if the driver is not here?"
I smiled and said, "I am the mayor. Isn't it easy to find a driver?"
She also laughed, "That's right. Laugh, tell me a joke, I'll fall asleep after listening to it."
I felt warm in my heart, and after thinking about it, I told her a joke, "There was an expert on TV who said you should never put a light bulb in your mouth, as it will make it impossible to take it out. As a result, ten minutes later, a certain viewer's mouth
He went out and took a taxi to the hospital with a light bulb in his mouth. He finally took out the light bulb, but as soon as he walked out of the hospital gate, the audience noticed that the taxi driver had arrived with a light bulb in his mouth!"
After hearing this, she immediately laughed "haha" and said, "Smile, you are so funny. I'm going to bed, so you should go to bed earlier. Bye!"
I felt warm in my heart for a long time after hanging up the phone, but at the same time I was secretly worried: What if she asks me to tell her a joke every time we end our phone calls in the evening? What should I do?
Where do you get so many jokes?
Regarding her question about why I like her, I have already thought about it: I will eventually tell her the reason why I like her in my heart, but it will only be a matter of time. Since she has asked about it now
, that means it’s time. Of course, I must tell her this matter in person, otherwise it may cause misunderstanding between us.
I still think like that: no matter what problems I encounter, I have to face them. Avoiding problems will not serve any purpose, and it is not a solution at all.
Soon after I got up early the next morning, the Secretary-General of the General Office came and asked me to have breakfast. Of course, I knew he was worried that I would fall asleep. We were going to have breakfast with Lin Yu this morning.
, and then send her away.
I said to him: "I usually get up at this time, and no one will call me from now on. The city government has a canteen, right? I will go to the canteen for breakfast from now on."
He said: "Yes. Just like other places, breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared in the dining hall."
I immediately went out with him. Just outside, I met Secretary Dong and the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Office coming out of his small building. I smiled and said, "Secretary Dong, what a coincidence." (To be continued)
