Just after class, Shen Bai Yao took out his PHS to process the news.
That said, there are only a few people who can keep in touch with her.
For a PHS that only has the functions of "MMS", "Tetris" and "Snake", children who live a boring after-school study life can always make fun of it.
Shen Baiyao clicked on his aunt's chat interface and found that she had sent a message half an hour ago:
[Bao, I’m going on a blind date this weekend. Do you want to come with me? ]
This was a strange thing to say. Shen Baiyao stared at the screen for a while, not knowing how to answer.
She was a young girl who was only 28 years old. Why would she join in the fun of a blind date?
Then I thought again, my aunt had just broken up with her boyfriend, so maybe there was some other reason why she went on a blind date this time, or she was forced to go on a blind date.
Shen Baiyao thought for a moment and replied:
[I want to see pictures of your blind date. ]
[Picture, the one on the left. ]
The picture is a photo of two people, probably a father and son.
The PHS Internet speed and pixels were poor. Shen Bai Yao stared at the photo anxiously for a while. Not only could he not see his face clearly, the man looked like a mosaic braised egg. He could only be vaguely distinguished as a man with short hair and dark skin.
Through a layer of screen, she could feel her aunt's heart at this moment, which must have been extremely cold.
While waiting for the pictures to load, several know-it-alls in the class gathered together again to share the latest situation.
Sometimes Shen Bai Yao admires these spy leaders. Where did he hear the secrets from, including but not limited to:
[The Chinese teacher of class ]
[The beautiful senior girl in the senior year of high school and the girl in the sophomore year of high school are together... They love to see beautiful girls posting. ]
[A handsome senior in high school is with his sister who is more than ten years older than him... kdlkdl. ]
Shen Bai Yao tore open a pack of onion rings and handed them to Tang Jiali next to him. Then he pricked up his ears and prepared to take a bite of new melon while snacking during the boring class break.
Classmate A: "Do you know about our teacher Chen's daughter?"
In fact, after hearing the first sentence, Shen Bai Yao turned back. After all, this was a family matter, how could he talk about it in public.
But she couldn't stand the loud voices of a few people, so she still heard them.
Classmate B: "What I heard is that Teacher Chen and his wife divorced very early..."
Classmate A: "Where is it? Teacher Chen's daughter is said to have been abducted when she was very young..."
"Please be quiet for a moment." Tang Jiali put down his pen and turned to face the people.
But it is not good to get angry with classmates after all, so he calmed down and said in a consultative tone: "There are classmates in the classroom who are taking a rest."
Shen Bai Yao patted his deskmate on the back and handed him the bag of onion rings as a reward for eating more.
"Thank you." Tang Jiali picked one up, his brows stretched, and he felt happy again.
Although his family owns a dessert shop, he is not a fan of puffed foods and foods high in sugar and oil. He usually adds more taboos for fear of losing weight and regaining weight.
Seeing the people walking away, Shen Baiyao frowned and criticized in a low voice: "How could they do this? It's too bad."
Tang Jiali wanted to eat another one, but Shen Baiyao moved the bag directly to the front.
Compared to when they first became roommates, the two of them get along much more naturally.
Teacher Chen stood at the back door, his sharp eyes quickly locked onto his cooperating deskmate, and reminded him softly:
"No snacks in class."
Shen Bai Yao's hands trembled and he almost dropped the onion rings on the ground. He quickly straightened his back and adjusted himself to study.
Teacher Chen stayed at the back door for a while and heard his classmates talking about his private affairs. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was forced to recall the unbearable past, and the pain that had been hidden for a long time was once again opened up.
He knew that the students had no ill intentions, so he had no intention of blaming them, and then adjusted his mentality and devoted himself to his work.
……
After the physical education class was dismissed, Shen Bai Yao still carried her PHS, planning to catch a glimpse of the face of her aunt's blind date.
However, the photo is still in mosaic style and has not been loaded yet.
Shen Yunian was sitting next to her daughter. She accidentally glanced at her phone, and without looking at it, she blurted out: "Are you playing Cairo? Or Minecraft?"
"The PHS doesn't have that powerful function..." Shen Baiyao responded casually, and then the photo was finally loaded. She frowned, half-opened her mouth, and became speechless.
At this moment, both Bai Yao and Hei Yao were silent.
The background of the photo should be in a remote village, where the original dirt roads and backward infrastructure are vaguely visible. The father and son in the photo are holding each other's shoulders and smiling confidently.
Her first impression of the man on the left: his facial features looked okay, but he was haggard and unkempt and had little hair.
Who introduced this? Is it reliable?
Seeing her daughter's complicated expression, Shen Yunian became even more confused, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Shen Baiyao thought about it again and again, but decided to share the shock: "My aunt's blind date." Then, she put the phone in front of her friend.
Shen Yunian wanted to put his eyes on it, looked at it for a long time, and asked boldly: "Which one is it? The left one or the right one?"
"This..." Shen Baiyao forgot for a moment. He took back his phone and checked it carefully, but he couldn't tell the difference. He hesitated: "Is it the left or the right?"
Then she dug out the chat history with her aunt and said firmly: "The one on the left."
Shen Yunian suddenly stood up, holding his waist with an imposing manner.
"I'm going to the bathroom first and will be back later."
So, Shen Yunian went to the grove where the Queen used to make phone calls, and dialed the number to her sister without mercy.
As soon as she picked up the phone, before the other party could say anything, she directly interrogated: "Why don't you report such a big matter to me like a blind date?"
Shen Jinsi just woke up and said drowsily: "When I was in kindergarten, you told me to be independent. Now that I am in my twenties, do I still have to report for a date or a relationship?"
Hearing that her sister was still going to speak, she suddenly woke up and said in a more serious tone: "Our mother asked someone to introduce me to you. I would be unfilial if I didn't go!"
Shen Yu young snorted, "Don't slander our mother just because she has a good temper! Is my mother the kind of person who forces you to go on a blind date?" Then he took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "To be honest, is there something else? Hidden story.”
Shen Jinsi, who had always been carefree, couldn't be happier at this moment, and finally told her sister the whole story:
"I just want to make Chen Heng angry..."
Chen Heng was her ex-boyfriend. After the two broke up, Shen Jinsi was still unhappy and couldn't let go of her old relationship. In addition, she lost her job and was depressed.
Later, Shen Jinsi heard from somewhere that her ex-boyfriend was going on a blind date with someone else, and it happened that her mother also introduced her to a blind date.
What's more, that man is also a doctor.
She agreed.
Shen Yunian laughed angrily, "Are you angry with him? You are making him laugh!"
Then he persuaded her with sincerity: "We broke up, so why should we care about his current situation? He may have already had a romantic relationship with the new person, and you are still obsessed with the past. Are you stupid?"
"Can you be more cool? Don't stop complaining about your ex-boyfriend. Is that a priceless treasure? You'll feel bad if I lose it!"
"Tell you, since your surname is Shen, be tougher! Don't let me look down on you."
Shen Jinsi was stunned by her sister's rapid-fire words. After a while, she slowly said: "When you fall in love for the first time, you have to give me some time..." Then she smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm not as lucky as you. I always You will meet some strange people. ”
Her ex-boyfriend Chen Heng had a good appearance, academic qualifications and character, but only one thing was enough to sentence him to death - "Mama's boy".
The strong mother of the vice-president was critical of Shen Jinsi. Sometimes she thought her education was low, and sometimes she thought she was unstable.
Shen Jinsi thought it would be good to just endure it, but Chen Heng hardly spoke for her, always feeling that his mother was right.
If losing their jobs was the trigger for their breakup, in fact, they had been grudges for a long time before that.
Shen Yunian softened his tone and said, "I have nothing else to say. Our conditions are not bad in all aspects. Don't put yourself down."
"Finally, I will give you a four-word motto: Don't compare yourself to others."
The subtext is that just because most people are bad, you can't settle for something less bad.
It is better to be short of things than to have too many things. If you are looking for something, just look for something that satisfies your needs in all aspects.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yunian suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and that familiar feeling of being watched reappeared.
She turned around suddenly, still finding nothing.
What she didn't know was that there was someone watching her last time and this time.
……
*11am on weekends
Since the blind date was a doctor and there was a major surgery in the afternoon, Shen Jinsi chose the Western restaurant opposite the hospital to meet with her blind date.
After Shen Jinsi saw the photo, she originally didn't want to develop further with the other party, so she took Shen Bai Yao with her, hoping that the man would give up.
Shen Yunian wore sunglasses and pretended to be a passerby. He sat not far from the three of them and acted as a consultant to his sister. He also took a look at the appearance of "Brother Braised Egg".
The blind date arrived an hour before the agreed time. When he saw Shen Jinsi coming, he stretched out his hand, stood up and said hello:
"Hello, Miss Shen, I am Xu Dan."
Shen Jinsi couldn't help but exchange a look with her nephew:
Just lie!
The man is handsome, fair and handsome, wearing a navy blue suit. He has a gentle and elegant temperament. Except for the smooth top of his head, he definitely has an outstanding appearance.
Shen Jinsi realized that the other man's hand was still stretched out, so she shook hands with the man cautiously, lowered her eyelids, and said, "Shen Jinsi."
After sitting down, she quickly sent a message to her sister:
[I don’t think it’s impossible to consider it. ]
After sitting down, the two of them felt a little awkward. Xu Dan handed the menu to Shen Jinsi, "What would Miss Shen want to eat?"
Shen Jinsi blurted out without thinking: "The breakfast I just had..."
It's over, it's revealed that I got up late.
She then added: "I want to eat potato salad, pasta, Hawaiian pizza, tiramisu... What do you want to eat Bai Yao?"
Shen Bai Yao pointed to the menu, "Steak, red wine snails and caramel pudding."
While the two were still talking, Xu Dan had already placed an order for the food they mentioned.
Shen Jinsi: "How much money should I transfer to you?" Xu Dan smiled and said: "It's inappropriate for girls to pay when we go out to eat."
Shen Jinsi suddenly felt that the man's smooth head was much cuter.
Shen Yunian, who was sitting with his back against his sister, ordered half a roast chicken and vegetable salad, drank sparkling water, and was quite satisfied with Brother Braised Egg's attitude. .
Occasionally, she would come across some comments about Grandet, who complained about some people who went out on a blind date and kept asking for money. She wished that every dime should be accounted for.
A person who knows little things and spends money generously may not necessarily be a good match, but a person who is too stingy certainly is not.
It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of attitude.
The steaks in this restaurant are grilled on the iron plate and served together, so when the waiter brought the steaks, Shen Bai Yao suddenly realized that there was a napkin missing in front of him.
"Use mine." Xu Dan unfolded his napkin and handed it to her with both hands.
"Thank you, uncle." Shen Baiyao took the napkin, not realizing that there was anything wrong with the title.
Because her first impression of Xu Dan was still in the dusty photo, she always thought that this "uncle" must be about the same age as her father.
Xu Dan suppressed a smile and said, "I am actually only 26 years old."
Shen Jinsi was a little embarrassed, "This child is too stupid to study. Don't be like her."
Xu Dan shook his head gently, "It doesn't matter. It should be influenced by that photo. I look a bit older in that photo."
Shen Jinsi: "When was that photo taken?"
Xu Dan: "When I went to country X to work as Doctors Without Borders in Country X a year ago."
There have been frequent wars in Country If you set foot there, your life may be lost in the next second, and few people are willing to take risks.
The understatement made the aunt and nephew, who were busy eating, feel in awe.
"This is a photo of me from before." Xu Dan also had a certain fondness for Shen Jinsi and wanted to restore his image.
At first, he used that photo to avoid the blind date, but now it seems that he doesn't use it anymore.
The man in the photo is energetic, handsome and sunny... and most importantly, he has a lot of hair.
Shen Jinsi's eyes shifted back and forth between the photo and the real person, thinking that you are really better than Sun Wukong, and it changed every moment.
It seems that studying medicine is really harmful, and you will lose all good hair skills.
Xu Dan seemed to see what she was thinking, smiled slightly, and explained: "I shaved my hair myself. It was a special situation abroad. Once, a bullet passed by after grazing my hair. I thought it was unlucky."
"Please allow me to shake your hand again."
Shen Jinsi admired his courage and broadmindedness, stood up and stretched out his hand.
Xu Dan smiled, stood up, and shook his hand happily.
At this time, two more people came into the restaurant. Chen Heng saw his ex-girlfriend shaking hands with others and said in surprise:
"Jinsi?"
Shen Jinsi turned her head and saw her old acquaintance nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and went on to eat and chat with her blind date.
Chen Heng's mother, who was following Chen Heng, sneered when she saw this, and said sarcastically: "My son and I broke up just a short time ago, and now we are with someone else. It's a shame that my son has been heartbroken for you for so long."
< br>
Xu Dan frowned and was about to speak for her, but Shen Jinsi smiled and retorted: "What does it have to do with your son being sad? I'm not his good mother." Then he cupped his chin and covered half of his ears. Xiao rolled his eyes.
Of course Xu Dan had to cooperate with her, cut the pizza for her, put a piece on the plate, and whispered softly: "Eat it while it's hot."
Well done!
Shen Yunian applauded crazily in his heart.
One small step to fight against the baby boy and the baby boy’s mother is one giant step for mankind!
Chen Heng walked up to his ex-girlfriend and looked pitiful: "Don't get angry with me, okay? I know you have feelings for me."
Shen Jinsi raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully: "You still claim to be a top student, don't you know the truth that 'all matter is in motion'?"
"The person who likes you is the me in the past." Then he turned his eyes to Xu Dan and smiled softly: "The person who likes Mr. Xu is the me now."
It was the first time that Xu Dan heard such a straightforward "confession". His cheeks turned red and he lowered his head in shyness.
This was somewhat inappropriate for children. Shen Bai Yao excused himself as thirsty, got up quickly, and went to the counter to pour some black tea.
"Pfft." Shen Yunian almost spat out a mouthful of water.
Why do you say these bastard words so casually?
Shen Jinsi seemed to see her sister's hopeless expression, kicked the sofa, and thought fiercely:
This is all taught well by my sister.
Shen Yunian lowered the brim of his hat and smiled happily.
My sister is much more promising than I thought.
……
Seeing that there was nothing for her to worry about, Shen Yunian went to the bathroom first after finishing her meal and planned to go home.
She was rubbing her fingers in front of the sink when she was suddenly hugged by someone. She was so frightened that she threw her hands and threw the foam into the air.
"What are you doing? You were so surprised!" Shen Yunian glared at his sister with a smile and said angrily.
Shen Jinsi did not let go, resting her chin on her sister's shoulder, looking at the two people in the mirror with bright eyes.
"Nothing."
I just want to hug my dear sister today.
"Sister, thank you."
Shen Yunian stroked his sister's hair, with gentle eyes, and said softly: "You figured it out yourself, which is more important than anything else. Why are you thanking me?"
Shen Jinsi stared at her sister in the mirror quietly, actually she had thousands of words to say...
But leaning against my sister, I can always feel the warmth of blood connection, which is more reassuring than any words from the bottom of my heart.
Growing up, my sister was an idol.
When Shen Jinsi was a child, she didn't like to walk, so she would act coquettishly with her sister and ask for a hug. However, Shen Yunian fell in love with her, singing nursery rhymes and carrying her for many miles.
Shen Jinsi remembered that that day the clouds were dyed red by the sunset, rising towards the horizon, and even the wind blowing was warm.
My sister’s long hair is fluffy and smells good even though it’s covered in the child’s snot.
When she was in elementary school, Shen Jinsi was bullied. It was her sister who held the other child's collar and forced him to apologize.
When she was in middle school, it was her elder sister who put aside her family affairs and forced Shen Jinsi, who was failing, to get into a decent school.
As a sister, Shen Yunian is beautiful and well-educated. Shen Jinsi has always envied her and wanted to be like her.
When her sister passed away suddenly, Shen Jinsi felt like the sky was falling. She hugged the toy cane that her sister bought and cried for three days and three nights.
Later, she wanted to say goodbye to the dark room, but hesitated when she returned to the light.
For Shen Jinsi, wherever her sister is not present, everything is gray.
Time is like quicksand. Even though it can smooth the rough surface of a long river, it cannot fill a heart full of holes.
To this day, Shen Jinsi still worries about gains and losses, fearing that her sister will leave her again.
"Sister..." Shen Jinsi tightened her hands around the other person's waist, tears filled her eyes, and she cried, "Can you please, don't leave me again."
Shen Yunian smiled and sighed, "Where can I go?" Then half-jokingly: "Of course, if your sister meets a man as handsome as Alain Delon in the future, she might abandon you and go abroad with him. ”
"Don't go." Shen Jinsi laughed through tears, let go of her hand, and slapped her angrily.
At this time, Shen Bai Yao also came to the bathroom. When he saw his aunt holding a girl, he thought it was an acquaintance of her aunt and said hello: "Hello, sister."
The two sisters' hearts were in their throats. Shen Yunian wanted to lower the brim of his hat to his chin and smiled coquettishly: "Yeah."
Shen Jinsi quickly let go of her hand, stood in front of her sister, pushed her niece away, and asked as she walked:
"Is the food delicious today?"
"What do you think of Uncle Xu Dan...brother?"
……
After Shen Yunian came out of the restaurant, she was still frightened and walked to the subway station while calming her breathing.
When will these days of hiding come to an end? !
She took off her hat angrily and met a girl who seemed to be handing out something.
"Hello, little sister, if you have seen anyone here, please contact us, thank you."
Shen Yunian read the paper carefully and found that it was a missing person notice, so he paid more and more attention to it.
"I have been missing for half a year..."
The girl frowned and said, "I am her roommate."
"She has been missing for more than half a year, and everyone has been very anxious."
Shen Yunian described the girl on the notice in detail and nodded, "I remember it, and I wish you can find her soon."
A chill passed through her, and she couldn't help but feel sad. She thought of the girl with a shy smile in the notice, and she really couldn't bear to think about what the girl was going through now...
Shen Yunian forced himself not to think about the nightmare that happened in Tonghua County.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
It was a call from Shao Yu.
Shen Yunian hesitated for a moment and finally pressed the green button.
But just as the call was connected, the boy on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily and his voice was hoarse:
"Auntie, I... feel so uncomfortable..."
