Chapter 7 LESSON 7: 1% information asymmetry

Have you ever had the experience where, when you first start out, you just want to be with the people you like.When you get your wish with him, you start wanting him to get to know you.Every look you make, every movement, and every sentence you utter only two words, he knows all your thoughts, and he is the person you have been looking for all your life. The problem is, every time you despair.Next time, you start wishing so again.In fact, in this world, no one is someone's roundworm, holding back his thoughts all day long to let the other party guess, will only turn himself into the other party's nightmare...

It was another morning. Every morning is like this, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are laughing, the students are struggling to go to school with their schoolbags on their backs, and the white-collar workers are waiting for the roar of the subway with their computers. "I really hope it will rain..." Luo Shuquan thought to himself when he went out in full clothes, "at least the mood will be different. I'm so tired of feeling like this every day..." Then he saw Gu Xiaobai. Gu Xiaobai was wearing a shirt, with disheveled hair. He came out of the Yonghe Soymilk Store outside the community and walked towards him across the road.

It was obvious that he hadn't slept all night and had just had breakfast, and his soul was lost, his eyes were dull, like a zombie.When he passed Luo Shuquan, he didn't blink his eyes, just passed by in a daze.Luo Shuquan couldn't help calling out to him, scaring him half to death. "Ouch..." Gu Xiaobai turned around, patted his heart, and looked at Luo Shuquan complainingly. He wrote all night. Although he didn't know what he wrote, he was devastated all night, as if a person who was tortured for a year in "Seven Deadly Sins" could be frightened to death with just one move.

Luo Shuquan sighed, and Gu Xiaobai also sighed. "Are you working?" "Ah, nonsense, why don't you go to bed yet?" "Shall I go to work with you?" Gu Xiaobai hugged Luo Shuquan's arm, very dependent and worried. "No! I'm going to class! What is this?" Luo Shuquan shook his hand away vigorously. "Please, please, I will kneel down for you..." Gu Xiaobai is a person who can do anything under the leadership of his own thoughts.Luo Shu had no choice but to be dragged by him until he got into a taxi.The two sat in, and Gu Xiaobai leaned against the window.

The face is illuminated by the mottled sunlight, and there is an indescribable sense of poignancy... "What do you mean?" Luo Shuquan couldn't help shouting, "Sunflower!" "I'm avoiding Mo Xiaomin..." Sunflower turned her head, a drop of crystal clear morning dew streaked across her face... It turned out that the thing is like this. It will be Mo Xiaomin's birthday in a few days - Mo Xiaomin didn't take the initiative to tell Gu Xiaobai about this, Gu Xiaobai wrote it down after seeing Mo Xiaomin's ID card by accident.Gu Xiaobai planned to surprise Mo Xiaomin on her birthday.

But the key to surprise is to be surprised before you can be happy. The key to the surprise is—there is no doubt—that the other party is completely unaware of this. This is the premise of everything. "There's a word called suppression first, do you know? I'm going to give her a big surprise, and I have to be more indifferent than before, more indifferent, and don't care about the state of our relationship. I can only suppress it in the early stage. The effect will only come out when it is revealed at a later stage, otherwise she won’t have the feeling of ‘Wow! SURPRISE’ if there is no comparison…”

"..." "A few days before her birthday, if I mentioned to me about her birthday, I would have to give her a gift according to the occasion. This is too boring, and the plan will be ruined." ——Gu Xiaobai arranges again It also seems that this is "wanted to come", without the feeling of melting ice and snow that is released after being suppressed hard. ——At that moment, the sun shines on the earth. ——At that moment, Mo Xiaomin burst into tears. ——At that moment, everything that Gu Xiaobai carefully arranged had meaning. So the premise is that Gu Xiaobai can't let Mo Xiaomin see him these two days, "can't listen", "can't watch", "can't talk".

This is why Gu Xiaobai avoided Mo Xiaomin these two days. Now everyone knows how unlucky it is to find a "screenwriter" or "writer" as a boyfriend... It took Luo Shuquan five minutes to understand, and another five minutes to digest. But it took him half a second to express his opinion to the taxi driver. "Master, step aside and stop." Just like that, Gu Xiaobai was thrown out of the car by Luo Shuquan. He looked at the taxi leaving and looked around, not knowing where he was at all. "Am I... am I still dreaming?" The morning sun—so dazzling.

A big reason why Luo Shuquan is so arrogant to Gu Xiaobai is that he and AMY have just started dating.As we all know, when a person first falls in love, he will feel that the world around him is all thin and dispensable.Only the person in love with himself and him is the most critical and important.Just like the focus in the camera, the background is all blurred, even if the earth is destroyed, it doesn't matter. But that was obviously just his own opinion - or the man's. Women—some women don't think like this. Such as AMY. "On the surface, he looks good in all aspects, he is quite honest, and his job is quite stable and solid."

While stirring the coffee, AMY raised her head and said to Mo Xiaomin. "but?" "What's a but? Nothing but not a but. We've only just started. After all, there is a process of getting in touch. During the process, we gradually get to know this person." For some people, nine o'clock in the morning is a busy time, catching the subway, catching the plane, and rushing upstairs to sleep.But for some people, nine o'clock in the morning is a boring time, and no one will go to the department store to buy cosmetics at nine o'clock in the morning.Similarly, no one will go to a small clothing store to buy clothes.So AMY simply went to the department store where Mo Xiaomin worked, and dragged her to drink coffee in the department store's coffee shop to pass the time.

Passing the time, sometimes for women, is also a very important homework. "So before you get to know this person thoroughly, you won't put all your feelings into it, will you?" Mo Xiaomin also asked while stirring his coffee. "Nonsense... Don't you have to talk about the input and output of everything? How could you put all your emotions into it before you know this person at all?" "But feelings are not business, are they?" "That's because you haven't done business. You know it when you do it. Everything in this world is a business, and you have to pay attention to a cost calculation and pay a return. Step by step, or you will die miserably." "I already have this kind of feeling..." Mo Xiaomin forced a smile. "Ok?" "Gu Xiaobai...it's been a long time since he talked to me seriously..." Mo Xiaomin... finally said it sadly. "I called him, but he also seemed to be indifferent, saying that he was busy now, busy with work, and he called me back, but he didn't call back. When I went to his house, he was not enthusiastic at all, like a Sitting there watching TV like a dead person. I said something to him, but he didn't bother to answer me, and said something." "So take a look! I should have told you!" AMY was amazed. "I don't know what's wrong? What happened? It was fine a while ago, nothing happened, why did it suddenly get cold?" "There is nothing good about a man, he must be tired of you!" "The most important thing is, isn't my birthday going to be in two days..." Mo Xiaomin ignored it, and looked up at the chandelier on the top of the floor, which was five stories high. "He never asked me about my birthday, and in this case, it is impossible for me to take the initiative to tell him that my birthday is coming." "Why not? Just say it." "It's like I'm asking him for a gift, what is that? You know I don't care, I just feel..." "He doesn't care about you at all?" Mo Xiaomin nodded sadly, this...for a woman...is the deadliest thing. Usually, Luo Shuquan has to undergo a tougher psychological test than ordinary teachers in class. On the one hand, Xiaoxiao in the audience looked at him affectionately, on the other hand, she had to remind herself not to say the wrong thing.So every time he walked into the classroom, he had to silently recite the blessings of various gods in his heart.At this time, it is undoubtedly a matter of worse for someone to call. But the caller is the person he cares about most now... "Hey! What's the matter with your Gu Xiaobai?" On the phone, AMY yelled loudly. "This matter is like this. There is a logical error in your sentence. First, Gu Xiaobai does not belong to me, I am not his father, nor his mother..." "..." "Second, what's the matter?" "Why is he so indifferent to our Xiao Min all of a sudden? Does he have a new love? You go and tell me Gu Xiaobai that Xiao Min's birthday is coming soon, let him pay attention to me, don't take it too often." Work is used as an excuse, if this goes on, be careful, I will find someone to unload him!" On the other end of the phone, AMY hung up with a snap. On the other end of the phone, Luo Shuquan's heart was pounding... With such a frequency, Luo Shuquan rushed to Gu Xiaobai's house directly after finishing class, slapped Gu Xiaobai out of bed, expressed AMY's meaning very directly, and asked a question by the way. "Can you help me explain an idiom, what is 'a fire at the gate of the city will bring disaster to the fish in the pond'?" "That's right, it's an allusion, and I've forgotten where the allusion came from." Gu Xiaobai was just woken up from his sleep, trying to look calm and said, "It means that the city gate caught fire and the pool was damaged. in the fish." "..." "..." "AMY asked me to tell you that Mo Xiaomin's birthday is coming." "Ah oh..." "Then she said that finding someone to unload you is nothing to do?" "What is unloading?" Gu Xiaobai asked curiously. "I didn't think about it. Anyway, it's not about dumping me, but I think...it's not a very good thing." "Ahahaha, does she want to threaten me?" Gu Xiaobai laughed with his arms crossed, "Does she want to kidnap me? Does she want someone to beat me up? Hahaha..." His eyes suddenly became very angry. Fear, "Does she know anyone from the underworld?" "I don't know, she opened the shop, she should know everyone, right?" "Including idiots like you?" Gu Xiaobai was extremely angry. "I'm going to tell her on Mo Xiaomin's birthday how much I love her and how much I care about her! I will give her everything I can, but I can't make her ready, do you understand? Especially let her know It's her friend AMY who asked you to tell me to do this, so it doesn't make sense at all. Not only does it have no effect, but it's like being forced out." "Then how do I explain to AMY?" "Just say you can't find me!" Gu Xiaobai said after thinking for a while. "It doesn't sound like it's true." "That's what you need to fix, and that's the price you need to pay." "The price I... paid?" Gu Xiaobai approached him step by step. "you……" "Why do you want to hook up with my girlfriend's good friend? Hmm? There are so many women on the street, why bother to find her? Hmm? Why do you want the four of us to fall into this vicious circle?" This is the biggest obstacle in Gu Xiaobai's scheme. Luo Shu confronted the question comprehensively and retreated step by step. "Are we brothers?" Gu Xiaobai pressed. "It's... isn't it?" "Then please..." Gu Xiaobai knelt down suddenly, begging bitterly, "Tell me that I went to the desert to gather wind..." "Then what if AMY calls you?" "No." "Then what if AMY calls you on my phone?" "Not answering either!" "Damn it! What if I have something to look for you?" "That's it," Gu Xiaobai thought for a while, "If you have something to ask me, just call me, hang up, and I will call you back. If you call me and ring endlessly, that is AMY is fighting, or you are under duress, how about it?" Sure enough, he is a screenwriter, and he has even come up with the set of spy wars... "Deal!" Luo Shuquan said decisively. When it comes to this matter, it is absolutely necessary to come out and talk about something similar to a tutorial. Under normal circumstances, a pair of good friends (male) and another pair of good friends (female) fall in love and form a four-person tour mode, which sounds like a very beautiful thing.Japanese TV dramas, idol dramas, and even TM domestic knockoff idol dramas all have such character settings, and a poetic picture suddenly appears before the eyes of the people. Four children wearing red scarves, holding hands, ran happily towards the rising sun... ——Still in slow motion... —with the singing of the choir... what is this? This is communism! But what about the actual situation? This is an absolute nightmare. Because love itself is not a completely equal information exchange platform, there are some things I can't say to you, and some things you can't say to me.Because "scrupulousness" is a form of expression of "care". If you have no scruples and talk about everything, that's a buddy... So on a side note, the so-called "soul mate" is a very suspicious concept. When the relationship between the two has risen to the level of talking about everything, even sharing the most intimate details of the heart, and the other party accepts everything, how beautiful and enviable it sounds. "Wow... that boy who walked past was really nice, it made me feel itchy..." "..." "Are you listening?" "I'm sorry, the girl I was paying attention to just now has really long legs..." "Would you like to touch it?" "Yes, but I love you." "I love you too." It sounds so good. But the truth is, that's impossible. We all have a little devil inside of us, and we hope not to be found out by the other. That little devil is good at "calculating", "scheming", "evaluating", "greedy", "comparing" and "doubting"... How can such an ugly self be discovered by the other party? That night, AMY found Luo Shuquan and verified the information at Luo Shuquan's house.Of course, Luo Shuquan completely denied it. First, he couldn't find Gu Xiaobai, no matter whether they were too good to be gay or not, they just couldn't find them. Of course AMY didn't believe it, snatched Luo Shuquan's cell phone and called Gu Xiaobai. Gu Xiaobai was at home, watching the phone ringing coldly, and refused to answer it even if he killed him. AMY had no choice but to put down the phone. Seeing Luo Shuquan's calm attitude, a terrible suspicion arose in his heart. "This kid... didn't take what I asked...at all, did he? That...is also a proof that he doesn't care about me." AMY doesn't have so many secret thoughts, he is a person who says whatever comes to mind. "Yes or no……" "Ok?" "I take care of you, please you, you don't care at all? You don't care at all, you don't look for it at all?" What broke AMY was that Luo Shuquan nodded gracefully. "Well... yes..." Yes…… "This... this is their matter, this is Gu Xiaobai's matter, Gu Xiaobai's matter has nothing to do with me, I am not his father." After Luo Shuquan finished speaking sanctimoniously, he turned his head and looked up at the sky with his hands behind his hands—the ceiling. "Then Mo Xiaomin is my good friend, her life and death are none of your business?" AMY was so surprised that he forgot to stutter. "Yes! I only care about you in this world, and the life and death of other people has nothing to do with me! They are them, we are us, why do we have to intervene in other people's affairs?" It's very reasonable... But AMY still doesn't believe it. "So it seems that you only care about me in this world?" "Live and die for you!" "Then when is my birthday?!" "what?" "Then when is my birthday?!" Staring blankly at AMY, facing her roar, Luo Shuquan made an answer that he regretted for the rest of his life. This answer didn't pass through his brain...just subconsciously...through instinct...like a knee-jerk answer. "I...Of course I know, but I just won't tell you." AMY stared blankly at Luo Shuquan. A voice in my heart shouted: "Men are creatures from another planet! Men are creatures from another planet!" Men and women are indeed two completely different creatures, with completely different ways of thinking, logical thinking, and knee jerk reflexes. AMY has known this for a long time, so for a long time, she has not held something called "hope" for men. But what she didn't expect was... Luo Shuquan - such a man who looks so ordinary, can bring this truth to such a terrifying level. "I know your birthday...but I just won't tell you." Luo Shuquan saw that AMY was silent - looked at him with his mouth wide open (you can't speak with a wide mouth, try it if you don't believe it) - thought that this sentence worked.In order to confirm this effect, he added a QED (proof completed) sign by the way. "Just wait, I will definitely surprise you that day." Gu Xiaobai was at home, anxiously looking at the cell phone that had been ringing for a long time but then became silent as if dead in a blink of an eye.It was obviously Luo Shuquan's call, and so many announcements rang that it was the "AMY style of play" that had been discussed earlier.Ordinarily, he could feel at ease as if this hadn't happened, but as the saying goes, a thief always has a guilty conscience. After studying it for a long time, he always felt that something was happening—at least it was going to happen. And I don't know if this is a matter of "continuous tense" or "future tense"... Not a good thing. He thought for a while, turned around and went downstairs, and as soon as he reached the door of Luo Shu's family, he saw AMY rushing out angrily, and Luo Shuquan chased after him helplessly, chanting "wait, wait, wait, wait" ..." AMY brushed past him and didn't see Gu Xiaobai, but Luo Shuquan saw it at a glance. He was frightened out of his wits in an instant, even AMY didn't have time to take care of him, and dragged Gu Xiaobai into the room. "What happened?" Gu Xiaobai hurriedly asked after entering the room. "You guys are trying to kill me!" Luo Shuquan explained the ins and outs. "Why are you so stupid? I just told you to clean yourself up, not to set yourself on fire!" Gu Xiaobai looked at Mr. Luo in disbelief. "You fucking have the nerve to say it! I'm not for you... It's over, if this continues, either I will break up with AMY, or I will break up with you?" "I think the former possibility is more likely, hahaha, you are really stupid." Whether it's his own house on fire, or his neighbor's house, Gu Xiaobai can always face it with the mentality of watching the fire from the other side... Such a mental quality... It is not available to mortals. "It's over, it's over, when is her birthday? My God! Give me some enlightenment!" Luo Shuquan screamed. "Are you... worthy? Worried about this now?" "Nonsense! I'm different from you. You are trying to keep Xiao Min from knowing and to surprise her. I promised AMY to surprise her, but I don't know her birthday at all. Maybe it will be half a year later, maybe Who knows if it’s tomorrow?! Maybe it’s today! It’s a big surprise for me to surprise her now!” Luo Shuquan finally realized how much trouble he had caused, and walked around the room like a headless chicken.Gu Xiaobai just looked at him with a smile like this, and suddenly saw him draw out a deck of playing cards out of nowhere. Luo Shu drew all the cards. He held it up in front of Gu Xiaobai. Gu Xiaobai thought he was going to do magic tricks, but he said, "I will draw three cards, and these three cards are AMY's birthday!" Before Gu Xiaobai had time to express his opinion, Luo Shuquan drew three tickets in a row. K, A, big monster. "13/1... Get weird! Damn, I've never been so lucky! What should I do?" Frowning and watching Luo Shuquan go crazy, Gu Xiaobai turned his head... He calmly looked at the bag hanging on the hanger beside him. "Is that AMY's bag?" Only then did Luo Shuquan realize that AMY left in such a hurry that he forgot to take his bag. "Ah! By the way! Wallet! ID card!" Luo Shuquan grabbed AMY's handbag and threw it all on the bed. Things... are getting out of hand... After leaving Luo Shu's family, AMY invited Mo Xiaomin to the coffee shop, told Mo Xiaomin what happened just now, drank the wine angrily, and his chest heaved, "How could I know someone like Luo Shuquan... I even forgot my bag and ran out..." "Why are you bothering... this is between me and Xiaobai." Mo Xiaomin was also surprised. "Even you say that about me?!" "Of course I didn't mean that. I mean, Luo Shuquan is pretty good." "What a P! I told you! This person has to observe slowly. At the beginning, everything is fine. The tail of the big-tailed wolf is hidden. Then the tail is completely exposed when it is touched. How long can a person pretend! Hmph! Selfishness! Shirking responsibility! Lying! I hate this kind of person the most!" "Then...then what are your plans?" "I don't know! I'm thinking about it!" "Maybe Luo Shuquan really knows your birthday?" "How could he know my birthday?" AMY looked at her incredulously, "I never told him! My mother never told me clearly! When she gave birth to me, she was in pain and forgot whether it was before or after 12 o'clock Already!" Now, Mo Xiaomin has nothing to do. The bed was strewn with mess: lipstick, foundation, receipts, peels.Luo Shuquan scattered all his wallets, full of cards, change, and credit cards, but no ID card. "It's over, it's over! No ID card!" Luo Shuquan was devastated. Gu Xiaobai looked up while twisting and twisting the lipstick, "Is she a black account? An illegitimate daughter?" "Personalize yourself! What should I do?" "That's it! In order to temporarily dispel your manic emotions, I thought of a way to temporarily slow you down." Gu Xiaobai said. "any solution?" "That's right. You also know that people are divided into twelve constellations, right? Each constellation has a different personality. We only need to roughly guess what constellation AMY is, and we can know the approximate month she was born in." "Good idea! But I don't know anything about constellations!" "It's like this, listen to me..." Gu Xiaobai looked up at the starry sky at seven o'clock in the evening, "The constellations are basically divided into four major parts, fire, water, earth and air - based on my observation , AMY is basically unlikely to be an air sign, it is very likely to be a fire or earth sign, but she occasionally gets nervous and looks like a water sign.” "Very good, what does this mean?" Luo Shuquan asked with eyes wide open. "That means she's basically unlikely for three out of twelve months." "That means every day for the remaining nine months is possible, right?" "That's right!" "Your uncle!!" Luo Shuquan frantically fumbled for the things in AMY's handbag on the bed again, without thinking, as if drawing lots, when suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Luo Shuquan! Open the door, it's me, I forgot to bring my bag!" It's AMY's voice. Gu Xiaobai and Luo Shu looked at each other in dismay, and they were stunned for a moment.The first thing that came to my mind was to frantically stuff all the things in AMY's handbag back in a mess, zip it up and hang it on the hanger. The second thing... Luo Shuquan went to open the door... All of a sudden—he was pulled back by Gu Xiaobai. "Me, me, me! What should I do?" Gu Xiaobai pointed at himself, making a sad mouth silently. It was only then that the two of them remembered that the beginning of this incident was the disappearance of Gu Xiaobai... For this beginning, I do not know how much blood was shed and how many people were sacrificed. Two seconds later, Luo Shuquan hurriedly pushed Gu Xiaobai to the closet, opened the door and stuffed Gu Xiaobai in.He rushed to the door and opened it, smiling at AMY. "What are you doing? It took you so long to open the door?" AMY walked in slowly, looking at him suspiciously. "No... I didn't hear it." "Then who were you talking to just now?" "..." "I heard you talking to someone." Luo Shuquan was tongue-tied, and suddenly turned his head to see the computer...and the microphone on the computer, and had a second leap of imagination—"I...I'm video chatting with someone..." "Video chat?" "Yes, with beautiful women." AMY leaned over to the computer and looked, "Where is the person talking?" Luo Shu pretended to be suave, "I turned it off...Cut...Of course I can't let you see me chatting with beautiful women..." Under such high pressure, it is not surprising that Luo Shuquan would become mentally ill at any time. "Well, that's true." AMY sneered, sniffing like a leopard, slowly circling around the room, walked to the closet, and slammed open the closet door. "It's cold outside, let me lend you a coat..." "Ahhh!" "What are you doing?! I asked you to borrow a coat! You refused?!" With his back to AMY, Gu Xiaobai slowly squatted down and curled up into a ball. "All right, take it." Looking at all this, Luo Shuquan said tremblingly. AMY turned her head, pulled it, took a coat casually, walked to the door, and glanced at the computer. "This is your big surprise for me, isn't it? Thank you!" Before Luo Shuquan could react, AMY walked to the door, yanked it open, and slammed it out. Luo Shuquan hurried to the closet and opened it. "Are you OK?" Gu Xiaobai was already paralyzed in the corner of the closet, weakly reaching out his hand... "Help me... I'm almost incontinent..." For the next period of time, everything seemed to be uneventful, mainly because no one spoke.Mo Xiaomin never approached Gu Xiaobai again, Gu Xiaobai thought anyway that day would prove everything, isn't there a saying that "the greater the patience, the greater the harvest"?He waited for that day, but he couldn't ruin everything just because of a moment of impatience.So he was also calm, like a good hunter, the longer he waited, the more excited he was, full of a kind of vicious pleasure. And Luo Shuquan and AMY continued to date in a serious manner, meeting and eating once every two or three days. When AMY left Luo Shuquan's house that day, she found that her bag had been turned over. She didn't expect to go up to the ID card level, but began to doubt Luo Shuquan's character.But she didn't say anything, and quietly watched Luo Shuquan's performance.Because of Luo Shuquan's bragging, his behavior in front of AMY unconsciously became more and more mysterious. He was supernatural, and he almost didn't dance to show that he actually has superpowers. All in all, it all looks pretty weird. The relationship between men and women has reached a certain level in the early stage, there will always be such a stage. We already know something about each other, but there is more, as huge as an iceberg under the sea, floating there quietly, waiting for the other party to discover and understand.The iceberg itself will not jump out of the sea level and say: "Look! There are so many piles under me!" Then it will be accompanied by an instruction manual, where is here, where is there, what does this switch represent, and what does that area mean? It is a nuclear explosion that will happen when you press it-the iceberg itself will not do this. The iceberg is just waiting to be discovered and understood. Perhaps the iceberg also has its self-esteem and its difficulties? After all, the reason why an iceberg is an iceberg is that it has slowly condensed after so many years of indifference. This day - is Mo Xiaomin's birthday. Before that, she had always hoped that Gu Xiaobai would ask, "What is your birthday?" Even if such a thoughtless question would seem nonsensical, she would throw herself into his arms, forgetting all the unhappiness and burying all the previous suspicions. Take all the previous grievances as the price for the unique manifestation of true love, she would think so. But when she slowly changed her uniform and called Gu Xiaobai, what she heard was—"The phone you dialed has been turned off, please try again later..." In other words, how many people have cursed the woman who recorded this sentence for the mobile telecommunications company over the years. Whenever I hear this sentence, someone will always say "Damn..." in my heart or on my mouth For so many years, the resentment organized by so many people is concentrated on one person who recorded such a sentence. "How are you?" I really want to say hello gently. Mo Xiaomin put down her phone, raised her head, and the person she saw was her ex-boyfriend. What appeared in front of me was...a bouquet of flowers. "Is he okay with you?" It may be grievance, it may be anger—although there is no reason, but after all, it has been accumulated for a long time—the ex-boyfriend proposed to have dinner with Mo Xiaomin, although Mo Xiaomin was unwilling in his heart, but for some reason, he agreed.The two chose a nearby restaurant, and after they were seated, the other party just looked at her sadly before ordering. "what?" "The one I saw at dinner last time, your current boyfriend, is he okay with you?" "Okay, it's pretty good." Mo Xiaomin smiled silently. "Then why doesn't he even care about your birthday and doesn't accompany you?" "He's busy with work." "I'll call you no matter how busy I am? After all, it's your birthday?" What an outrageous provocation. "He... the nature of his work is a bit different, and he needs to be very attentive. Sometimes he can even forget who he is when he is busy..." While Mo Xiaomin was explaining to Gu Xiaobai, his heart was bleeding. How could she have thought that her damn boyfriend Gu Xiaobai was secretly carrying the cake at this moment. --Candle. --Gift. — ribbons. - Balls. Sneaking into Mo Xiaomin's house. I opened the door with the spare key under the flowerpot, and I'm arranging it complacently... What was even more unexpected was that the man opposite Mo Xiaomin looked at her next, and said to her with extremely serious eyes: "Xiaomin, from the first day I met you to now, I have given myself every day. Forgot. Because I only have you in my heart, and I can no longer tolerate others, including myself." Crash, total crash. Then, the man in front of her blatantly handed over a box under her nose. Slowly opened, it was a diamond ring. "Marry me, Xiao Min, and I will make you the happiest woman in the world." At this time, the most unlucky man in the world was at Mo Xiaomin's house—the house was decorated with neon lights—looking at the clock on the wall with a stiff smile. Tick ​​tock tick tock. It's really slow. Gu Xiaobai called her again, but she had already turned off the phone. Looking at the man she once had feelings for, Mo Xiaomin finally tore off the scarf around her neck, "I'm sorry, I have to go." Then she ran out of the restaurant as if flying, only one thought in her mind, to escape from this place , away from that damned shining stone.She must see Gu Xiaobai, at this moment, at this moment, no matter what he is doing!She must see him! ——Running on the road, many people who came oncoming passed me by... ——Why is my heart beating so fast... ——Only that person can make me feel at peace, even if... He is so careless about himself. At this time, Gu Xiaobai was at his own home. He waited for a long time but still couldn't wait for Mo Xiaomin, and finally couldn't help but went to the counter of the commercial building where Mo Xiaomin worked. "Ah? She left work early! She walked with a man." This is how the colleague answered him. Finally understanding such a sentence, Gu Xiaobai walked out of the commercial building with a face ashamed. Along the way, so many people passed by me... Why is my heartbeat...so slow. Is it something you caused?He didn't want to ask himself any more, because the ending was already so vaguely clear... Back at his home, Gu Xiaobai sat blankly by himself. Don't want to see anyone. I even want to smash the mirror... After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, Gu Xiaobai jumped up and rushed to open the door... Luo Shuquan stood at the door. "why you?" "Why are you still at home? Today isn't Mo Xiaomin's birthday, are you going to surprise her?" "No need." Gu Xiaobai finally smiled sadly, "She already gave it to me." "What's wrong? Are you alright?" Luo Shuquan looked at him wonderingly. "It's okay, what's the matter with you?" "Ouch, I just wanted to see if you were at home. I stayed with AMY all day, and I was so tired that I was about to have a stroke. Every time she looked at me, she seemed to say to me: Today is my birthday! My birthday! My birthday! Birthday! Then it sounded in my head: Today is my last day! My last day! My last day! I'm about to collapse..." Luo Shuquan ran to Gu Xiaobai's water dispenser to pour water, and drank it in one gulp. "When is her birthday?" Then someone knocked on the door, Luo Shuquan looked at Gu Xiaobai in a daze, and Gu Xiaobai also looked at Luo Shuquan in a daze. Walk over and open the door, Mo Xiaomin is standing at the door. Gu Xiaobai looked at her quietly. At this moment, both of them must have endless emotions in their hearts.Those strong, complex, and almost gushing words that have been accumulated for a long time only turn into... "Hi..." Mo Xiaomin looked at Gu Xiaobai out of breath, and just said something softly. "Hi……" Gu Xiaobai gave her a cold look, turned around and walked into the room on his own.Mo Xiaomin walked in with her head down, obviously there was a man who cared so much about her, even though she had nothing to do with him, she still cared so much, but she just wanted to see him... Following his footsteps step by step into the room, Where should I go step by step with his footsteps... Mo Xiaomin thought sadly, seeing Luo Shuquan next to him, he just tried to smile. "I... I'm going first..." Luo Shuquan looked at the two of them, sensed something was wrong, and quietly closed the door and went out. Watching Luo Shuquan go out, Gu Xiaobai didn't even look at Mo Xiaomin, he just sat on the sofa and turned on the remote control of the TV. Start watching TV channel by channel... The people on the side just stood like this. "Is there something wrong?" Half a minute later, Gu Xiaobai turned his head and asked in surprise, as if suddenly remembering. "It's okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, let's see how you are?" "You're pretty busy." "what?" "nothing." "you--" "What about me?" Gu Xiaobai immediately asked back. "nothing." No one spoke anymore, endless swear words filled the air. "Do you know what day it is today?" Mo Xiaomin asked suddenly. "I don't know, are you giving out bonuses?" "..." "..." Embarrassed and silent... Finally, Mo Xiaomin smiled softly, "I should have said it earlier." “早说什么？” “说出来就好了，憋着有什么意思呢？”走到顾小白面前，莫小闵悲伤地看着她，终于像松了口气般地说道，“腻了就直接说好了，我也不会缠着你的。” 望着她认真凄然的表情，顾小白终于笑起来……像听到了世界上最好笑的事情，笑得上气不接下气。 然后他慢慢凑近莫小闵，带着不可思议的表情。 “你倒挺会恶人先告状的。” “你说什么？什么恶人先告状？” “你自己心里明白。” “我不明白！”莫小闵终于嚷出来，“我不明白你哪里又不舒服了？哪里又不爽了？你说你写东西怕分心，我从来不怎么主动打电话给你怕打扰你！等也等不来的时候我就对自己说，没关系，他心里想着你呢！他心里在乎你呢！所以哪怕他对你说一声晚安，你一天的等待也就值了，我不知道我哪里做的还不够好！我不知道我哪里还需要改进，我也是人，我也需要关心，我是一个女孩子！我需要人疼爱的！” 这样的爆发，换来的反应只是…… 对方慢慢地转过身子，传来冷冷的一句话…… “我想疼爱你的人并不只止我一个。” “你说什么？”莫小闵脸色一白，“你看到什么了？” 这样的反应……全明白了吧。 顾小白深呼吸了一口，走到门边，拉开门。 “走好。” "What did you say?" 眼泪不知何时，已经流下来了。 但对方完全视若无睹，只是疲倦地摇摇头。“没什么，是我犯贱而已……” “是我犯贱！！！” 莫小闵泪光盈盈地看着顾小白，终于大喊了一声，转身哭着跑出了顾小白家。 路过过道，罗书全还在过道里站着。 “你们是不是分手了？”对方心存侥幸地问道。 "what?" “你们如果分手了，你可不可以最后告诉我一件机密？救人一命胜造七级浮屠……AMY到底几号生日啊？” 不可思议地看着这样一个奇怪的男人，莫小闵再也没理他，一口气下了楼打车回家。一路上整个人都在颤抖，不知道自己这一路到底在做什么，在作什么孽。 爱一个人究竟需不需要回报？如果爱一个人只是自己的事，那为什么会这样心痛到无以复加？为什么连自己的存在感都稀薄起来。 回到家，颤抖着用钥匙打开门，那一瞬间，她呆住了。 漆黑中，彩色的如星光般的灯，环绕着…… 急忙打开顶灯，房间里挂满了彩灯…… 桌上摆满了笨拙但显然是用心做出来的菜…… 中间是一只三层的，雪白的蛋糕…… 蜡烛已经烧干。 蜡烛边有一张纸条，还没有被烧掉。莫小闵怔怔地走过去，捡起纸条。 tears... 就这样再一次流出来。 “亲爱的宝宝，恭喜你今年已经二十五岁了。在你之前的二十五年生命里，我们从未遇见，我也从来没有想过，在一个意外的场合中能够认识你。而你，也在我的生命中渐渐重要起来，这些都是我从来没有想过的事情，却成为我现在最珍贵的东西。我不是一个习惯把爱挂在嘴边的人，我可能不够甜言蜜语，我可能很多时候忽略了你。但我只是想在这样正式的日子里告诉你，你对我真的很重要，我真的非常爱你。我衷心期盼着我们能有越来越长的路走下去，我爱你，生日快乐！——顾小白” 卡片上…… 分明是这样写着的。 莫小闵转过身，连门都来不及关，就冲出家门。一路上打不到车，就在这个城市里跑着，在夜凉如水、清冷如冰的夜晚奔跑着。不知道自己还要跑多久才能跑到顾小白家，但哪怕用尽力气也要这样跑下去。莫小闵一边想一边跑着，高跟鞋弄得脚很痛，但至少自己选的应该是最近的一条路。 突然眼前出现一个人，也在迎面向她奔跑过来，对方也是这样的焦急。 在一个十字路口，红灯亮起的瞬间，他们终于看清了彼此。 轰隆隆的土方车从他们中间一辆辆开过。 尘土飞扬…… 终于，绿灯像开恩似的亮起，然而尘土还是这样迷蒙。 莫小闵慢慢地向那个人走近，也看着那个人慢慢地向自己走近。 虽然眼前有好多障碍，但是一切在慢慢清晰。 “我想听你亲口说。”终于莫小闵对着面前的这个人说。 "happy Birthday." “不是这一句。” "I love you." 莫小闵摇头，“不是这一句。” 顾小白低下头，抬起，慢慢地微笑起来。 “我会把我所有的心里话都告诉你。” "me too." 在这样的一个十字路口，抱着心爱的人，听到对方这样的一句话，一切都是值得的。 莫小闵静静地想着。 因为眼前的尘雾已经消散。 而这个时候顾小白想的是…… “我……真的敢吗？” 我们真的…… May I?
