At around 11 o'clock that night, Tongdao Xu was sitting behind the cashier at Ximen Road Internet Cafe No. 4 and looked at the time displayed in the lower right corner of the computer screen again.
——11:44 minutes.
It's almost 12 o'clock, and Bu Yinghui hasn't come back yet.
She was taken away by her sister, and there is still no sound or image. She probably won't come back to sleep tonight.
He estimated that the two sisters might have booked a room in a nearby hotel tonight. Maybe at this moment, the two sisters were lying on the same bed, having a heart-to-heart talk!
At this time, there were more than 20 people surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, and business was good.
But Xu Tongdao, who had something on his mind, kept his brows furrowed.
He seemed to hear again in his ears the words Bu Yinghui's sister Bu Yingyun asked them when he invited the two sisters to dinner tonight, as well as Bu Yingyun's frown getting tighter and tighter at that time.
"Xiao Xu, tell me honestly, how old are you this year?"
"Nineteen? You're only nineteen? He's only nineteen?"
At that time, Bu Yingyun was very surprised. The same question was asked to him first and then to Bu Yinghui.
It seems like nineteen-year-olds should be dragged out and shot.
Bu Yingyun obviously cares about his age.
Comrade Xu remembered that Bu Yingyun looked ugly at that time and gave Bu Yinghui a fierce look.
After the meal, Bu Yingyun took her sister Bu Yinghui's arm and said to him: "Xiao Xu, why don't you go back first! I still have something to say with Xiao Hui, okay?"
"Sister?" Bu Yinghui was a little reluctant at the time.
But he was suppressed by Bu Yingyun's warning look.
Can Comrade Xu object? Is he qualified to object?
He is now just Bu Yinghui's male partner, not her husband yet, but Bu Yingyun is her biological sister. All fools know which is more important.
So he smiled and agreed.
It’s okay not to agree.
Thinking of this in his mind, Tongdao Xu couldn't help but sigh again, lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
He felt a little helpless.
Obviously he is not short of money now, and his career is well developed, but at the age of nineteen, it has become an obstacle for him to fall in love.
Maybe it’s mainly because Bu Yinghui is three years older than him!
She has already exceeded the legal age for marriage, but he is still three years away from the legal age for marriage.
Three years...
It was a big gap between him and Bu Yinghui.
He comes from a rural area and knows that these days, rural girls who are over 20 years old and have not gone to high school or college will generally get married soon.
Some families even marry off their daughters early before they reach 20, and then get a marriage certificate when they reach that age. Similar things abound.
And Bu Yinghui is already 22.
Under normal circumstances, if they wanted to get married, she would have to wait for him for at least three years.
Three years later, she will be 25 years old. People in the countryside generally use fictitious years to calculate, so by then, Bu Yinghui's fictitious age will be 26.
This should be the main reason why Bu Yingyun looked so ugly when he learned that he was only 19.
These days, how many country girls get married at the age of 26?
Anyone who has not married after 24 years old is considered an old girl in everyone's eyes.
Of course, if he is willing to break the law and marry her under the legal age of marriage, this problem can be solved.
Can……
Xu Tongdao, who was smoking with squinted eyes, asked himself, did he really want to get married so early?
He just bought a razor last year and started shaving. He got married just after he became an adult?
To be honest, he didn't want to get married so early.
Too early.
Maybe for a woman, getting married early means finding a destination early, which is a happy and happy thing, but for a man, getting married as soon as he reaches adulthood has a completely different meaning.
…
At 12:30, Bu Yinghui still hasn't come back. There are fewer people surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, and there are only seven or eight people who have reserved the night tonight.
Xu Tongdao sighed secretly, took the key to lock the door, and then turned off the big lights, leaving only a few small lights.
Go to the bathroom to wash up, walk into the warehouse, take off your clothes and go to bed.
However, even when he was lying in bed, he still didn't feel sleepy.
My mind is always thinking about things uncontrollably.
Will Bu Yinghui come back tomorrow?
Will Bu Yingyun come here again tomorrow?
What will they say to me tomorrow? Will Bu Yingyun firmly oppose Bu Yinghui being with me? Can Bu Yinghui and I continue to go on?
etc.
All kinds of thoughts came one after another, going back and forth in his mind like a fleeting thought.
What made him feel strange was that with so many messy thoughts flashing around in his mind, his state of mind was quite calm.
I didn't even feel panicked.
It seems like he can face any outcome, doesn't he care so much?
Is it because I don’t like Bu Yinghui that much?
Or is it that my heart has long since aged and I no longer make too many waves about emotional matters?
Inexplicably, a faint feeling of sadness arose in his heart.
I still remember the time when I was young, the time when I fell in love with a girl for the first time, the longing and anxiety in my heart... and other various emotions.
Thinking about it now, although his mood was chaotic at that time, it was worth remembering. That should be the feeling of falling in love, right?
And now...
It was obvious that Bu Yinghui was beautiful and had a good figure, and he felt that he liked her very much, but...he thought that if he separated from her, he would not feel sad at all.
At most it's just a bit regretful.
Is this the mentality of a scumbag?
He asked himself.
There was a voice in his heart telling him: Yes! You are a scumbag.
But he really didn't want to admit that he was a scumbag. He suspected that he had experienced too much and was a little numb to feelings.
Then he felt even more sad.
He wants to be a good man.
Who doesn’t want to be a good man in the first place?
…
The next morning.
Tongdao Xu was woken up by the alarm of the BB machine. Before opening his eyes, he subconsciously touched the side, but of course he found nothing.
Opening his eyes drowsily, he didn't see Bu Yinghui on the bed, and then he remembered that she didn't come back to sleep last night.
He was in a daze for a moment, then got up and put on his clothes and shoes.
Wash, open the door, clean, boil water, cook noodles, and eat noodles.
The people who stayed overnight in the Internet cafe left one after another when the time came. Comrade Xu, who made himself a cup of tea, looked at the empty hall, smiled lightly, walked out of the door holding a teacup, and walked around the yard, taking a look from time to time.
Courtyard gate.
The weather is good today, the sun is rising in the east, and the morning light is filling the world.
But the yard was very quiet, he was the only one, and Bu Yinghui still didn't come back.
When the cup of tea was almost finished, someone who was surfing the Internet came over, and not long after, another one came over who was surfing the Internet.
Comrade Xu was already standing at the door of the Internet cafe. There were already seven people surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe. The temperature was rising and the air was getting turbid. It no longer had the freshness of the early morning.
Sisters Bu Yinghui and Bu Yingyun finally came back. Seeing their figures walking towards the entrance of the courtyard, Comrade Xu squinted at their expressions.
Bu Yinghui frowned slightly, and when she saw him, her smile was a little unnatural.
Bu Yingyun had a faint smile on his face, but the look in his eyes showed a sense of indifference.
