Chapter 4 fourth quarter

In the spring of the third year of entering the company, the head of the examination room asked me if I had any intention of a blind date.That was after I finished my two-year training and officially confirmed that I would be transferred to the managerial department. "The young master of the executive director of a company that has long-term business dealings saw you by chance and has always wanted to get to know you formally, so he asked me to convey it." If the head of the office called me to another place alone to inform the matter, even if it was a request from the superior, I would immediately refuse, because I was not allowed to get married, but the head of the office said it loudly in front of many people. Colleagues who came to the company during the same period were packing their luggage and preparing to go to their assigned departments.When the photos and resume were handed over to me, everyone surrounded me with great interest.

As soon as they saw the photo, the ladies said in unison: "Not bad." When they opened the resume, the men shouted: "It's amazing!" Looking at the scene, the director said: "How about it, isn't it pretty good?" This aroused everyone's emotions even more, so they commented in a hurry, saying that Cinderella married into a wealthy family, this is the best chance in life, etc.I completely missed the opportunity to refuse, so I had to agree to the director: "Then I will trouble you." Why would a handsome elite who graduated from a first-rate university and worked in a first-rate company have a blind date with a female employee of a third-rate company?When and under what circumstances did you see me and become interested in me?Until the day of the blind date, I was thinking hard, and finally came to the conclusion that I might have admitted the wrong person.

The fact that a blind date doesn't take a rigid form, but instead chooses to share a meal together makes me uneasy.After entering the society, I can finally talk to men normally, but I have never had a meal alone with someone I met for the first time. I am wearing a pink dress with a spring vibe.This was chosen for me by an enthusiastic friend who joined the company at the same time as me.When I arrived at the lobby of the hotel, a man who was exactly the same as the one in the photo ran over immediately. This man was Xiaobo. He has a cheerful personality, speaks politely, apologizes for asking to meet through his boss, and thanks me for making a special trip to the appointment on the day off, but I am incoherent and can't even exchange pleasantries.I followed him to the Italian restaurant on the top floor that had already been reserved.As soon as I took a seat and took a breath, I handed in my resume that had been prepared in advance.

However, he didn't open it, but put it by the table and said, "You used to live in XX town when you were young, right?" When I suddenly heard the name of my hometown town, I couldn't help being stunned.He still smiled and said, "I used to live in a small town. It took three years from the sixth grade of elementary school to the second grade of junior high school. We are two grades behind, you may not remember." I remember things in elementary school, but I don't know him.When he was in the sixth grade of elementary school, I should be in the fourth grade. In the year when the Adachi factory was built, there were many transfer students.

"It's a pity. You also took me to play, that is, the French doll tour, and you should be the one who led us to visit." Oh, it turned out to be one of those kids.I remember that, but not who he was.But before I could recall the frustration at the time and the subsequent theft of French dolls, he changed the subject.I thought, since he lived there for three years, he might know that I was also involved in the murder case of the Way of Nature, so he took my emotions into account and deliberately changed the subject. Xiaobo said that he is doing marketing in the watch department, and there are more opportunities to go to Switzerland due to work.That small town resembles Switzerland in some ways, so he misses it very much.He saw me by chance and decided to see me.

I asked him where he saw me, and he said that it was probably at our company's New Year's party. I named a Chinese restaurant, and he nodded repeatedly, claiming that he happened to be there with his friends at that time.There is such a coincidence.I was a little embarrassed, and lamented the arrangement of fate.Looking back on it now, he might have been talking nonsense back then. After that, I started dating Xiaobo, seeing him once or twice a week.Dating is not exempt, it is nothing more than eating, watching a movie, or going to an art gallery.But it was strange that when I was with him, I could always get rid of the fear of being watched, and when we were about to part later, I was even reluctant to part with him, wanting to stay with him for a while longer.

However, he never invited me to a hotel, nor did he ask to go to the apartment where I lived alone.Of course, when he took me to the apartment in a taxi, I didn't invite him to the house for tea or something.What should I do when I get to the room?This voice of unknown origin is always echoing in my head. He suddenly proposed marriage on the seventh date, which was also the day when he held hands for the first time.Even so, it was only when I went to see the premiere of a famous musical that I almost got separated in a crowded venue, and he took my hand.Just this moment, my heart was already pounding, and later, in the dark theater, while the performance was going on on stage, I became inexplicably sad, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"I'm going to be stationed in Switzerland for a long time, can we go together?" He made this request to me after the French kaiseki dessert and wine were served.Every table in the restaurant is divided into a private room, like a hermitage. This kind of place is probably the most suitable place for happy couples to tell each other their hearts and make a lifelong commitment to each other.How happy it would be to be able to accept the dreamy marriage proposal here without hesitation!But I can't do that.I have reasons why I can't accept it. "I'm so sorry!" I apologized.

"Why?" he asked. This should be the expected reaction, but I was a little at a loss.It's okay to refuse with the usual excuses like "you shouldn't marry a woman like me who has no merits, but live happily with a woman who is more suitable for you", but there is no sincerity in such words, so I decided to admit the real reason. Unexpectedly, that disgusting fact turned out to be a shield for refusing the proposal and was put on the table. - As a woman, I am flawed. Xiaobo was stunned, probably this answer was completely unexpected.I simply took the opportunity to be cheeky and finished speaking in one go.

I am twenty-five years old and have never had a period because deep down I refuse to grow up.Real sex is impossible with a body like this, and it's impossible to have children, and a man with a bright future like you shouldn't marry a scum like me. At this point, for the first time, I began to curse the autosuggestions I had used to protect myself.Some regrets, I knew this situation would happen earlier, I should have injected hormones or received psychological counseling when I was in the second grade of high school. In short, no matter what method is used, it should be treated in advance.

Tears felt futile, so I choked back, munching on white chocolate custard.It is dotted with various fruits, and it is a dessert like a glass handicraft.Strawberry, Shanmei, cranberry, blueberry... I know all these names, but I am still bound to that rural town. I do not care.Xiaobo said so. He said, just go with me. When you come home after a tiring day, you will be there, telling you about the day, and holding you tightly to fall asleep.Happiness beyond this life cannot be imagined.Start a new life in a town that is very similar to the one we lived with! Besides, leaving Japan is also a good choice for you. Your body must have been affected by the murder case. You may worry that living in a very similar place will remind you of everything that happened in the small town.However, there is one thing I can guarantee—— There are no murderers in the new place, and besides, I will protect you. Can Mazi and his wife be invited to the wedding?When Xiaobo asked about this, I was taken aback. Only then did I know that Xiaobo's father and your husband are cousins.I was afraid that when you and your wife saw me, they would think of that incident and feel sad, but he said, you two said that you must participate. At that time, my real thought was not to meet you as much as possible, because I was worried that you would not forgive me when you saw that I did not fulfill the agreement at that time and only cared about my own pursuit of happiness.However, I have no right to comment on the wedding, because the luxurious wedding ceremony was held in an art gallery designed by a famous architect. The parents who hold important positions in the factory are responsible for it, and what I choose is only the wedding dress. On the wedding day, you said to me, forget about that and pursue a happy life.How delightful that sentence is!Another thing that makes me happy is the surprise Xiaobo gave me. When discussing the wedding ceremony with Xiao Bo, I always thought that when the wedding dress is changed from a wedding dress to a formal dress, it must be an evening dress, but he said that it would be better to wear a white wedding dress until the end of the ceremony, so he simply denied the part of the dress change.As you pointed out, when the wedding was at its climax, the groom surprised me by suddenly handing me a box with a big ribbon, and then I was led to the lounge by the master of ceremonies. When I opened the box, I found a pink dress with white feathers on the chest and skirt, and large purple roses embroidered on the shoulders and waist.After changing into the skirt, I also put on my head an ornament made of purple roses and white feathers.Maybe such a dress symbolizes happiness and auspiciousness, I thought so, and stood in front of the mirror, which looked like a French doll in an old-fashioned living room. Why are you dressing me up like this?I was a little confused, but I immediately remembered that the first time I met Xiaobo was when I was visiting French dolls. At that time, I was a country girl proudly showing old French dolls to children in big cities. I thought Xiaobo was thinking of those days. I just ordered the same skirt as the doll, he just wanted to surprise me. Xiaobo stared at me returning to the wedding scene, stunned, smiled slightly and said, "Very beautiful." I was teased and blessed by everyone, and I spent a very happy moment.On the third day after the wedding, Xiaobo and I embarked on a journey.As the plane gradually rose into the sky, I was filled with a sense of relief. There are no murderers in the new place, and Xiao Bo said he would protect me.
