Chapter 3 player

When it was time to get off work, Carrie said to me, "Go get a drink, come on, and relax." "I'm tired," I grabbed my bag, "I want to go home." "Sit down at home, come on." I smiled apologetically, "I really don't want to go." "How long has it been since you danced?" I turned my head and thought about it: "Fifteen years." Carrie said, "Come on, let me introduce someone to you." "Who?" I didn't have much interest. "My boyfriend." Her eyes sparkled. "I still want to go home."

She ignored me, took my hand desperately, and dragged me to a nearby beer hall. I'm not interested in sister Jiali's boyfriends, the kind who have studied business administration in foreign countries, wear a suit, carry a handbag, look like the pillars of the future society, drive a Japanese sports car, and wait for the dance of the Anglo-American Alumni Association ... Suffocate people. The good man in my heart?Either he is talented and attractive, or he has made a lot of money, it doesn't matter if he has no talent, he can run a university to educate talents. Such a tasteless boyfriend under Jiali's command would not know what to do.Talking to relieve boredom, but also think that the words are tasteless and vulgar, and as lifelong partners, they are not honest, so they turned around and asked the female secretary again.

I sat down with her in the tavern and asked, "Where are people?" "Not yet." She looked around. "I hate men being late the most." "You hate the most things, it's like a world of hate." Carrie laughed. I ordered a beer. "Don't give up," Carrie warned me, "you'll grow fat all of a sudden, drink orange juice instead." I sat listlessly. "Here we come." Carrie immediately put on the most beautiful smile. She does have a way with men. This kind of ability is the nature of women, and I can also do it. The question is when to use it and who to use it on.

I raised my head, and the boy was unexpectedly outstanding, and I knew that he was not an "ordinary person" just by looking at his appearance. Jiali hurriedly patted the chair, "Jiawen, sit, sit." He smiled gently, "I'm not sitting down, I'm sorry. But this is the information you want." He put down a stack of documents and books. I knew right away that this man was not Carrie's boyfriend, it was impossible. "Would you like to sit down for a while?" Carrie begged. He just sat down and his eyes fell on me. I smile. "This is my colleague, Joe," Carrie introduced.

He nodded to me and asked for a cup of coffee. He was very silent and seldom spoke. Carrie was chirping. From her words, I knew that he was the brother of her classmate, and that he taught at a university and was an engineer. . He finished his coffee and left. Very polite, very indifferent, very gentle, very temperamental, very reserved. After he left, Jiali asked me very excitedly, "How is it? It's ideal, right? Let me tell you, a thirty-seven-year-old man, never married, works as a lecturer at a university. Wow, I just saw the dormitory where he lives. , you will fall in love with him! 2,700 square feet, the living room can skate. And he doesn't have a regular girlfriend, I thought about it, this kind of man, walking with him is naturally boring, he doesn't understand Do new dance steps, don't like to show off, don't know how to order food, but if you marry him, then he is really the best husband."

After a while I said, "I thought marriage was about love." Carrie murmured, "People have to eat." I said, "If you want to eat good food, a university lecturer can't make much money." "But the son of a rich family is difficult to deal with. I like him as a middle-level person." Jiali said as if Jiawen had already proposed to her. I smiled honestly without making a sound. "I decided to 'tangle' him," said Carrie. She was so confident, I sighed. "He's much better than the boys around us." I nodded, "Of course."

"Let's go, let's go eat." She said proudly. You can get what you want, this is Jiali's self-confidence, I hope she succeeds.There are many things that you really have to do by yourself, half of it is luck, the other half is hard work, I am just lazy, you want me to chase a strange man, I can’t do it, no matter how good his conditions are, he has to come after me, And accommodate me. Destined to be an old aunt. Carrie was different. That day when we came home after having dinner with her, I lay on the sofa watching TV and listened to a few phone calls, all of which came to make appointments to go out on the street, so I turned them down.I don't want to dance and go to the theater. I want to get married and have a stable and warm home.Not a marriage partner, not happy to waste time.

I have another reality than Carrie. It's best to be someone like... Jiawen. I smile. In the next few days, Peter kept calling, and I thought to myself, I haven't danced for fifteen years, let's go. That night, I met Jiawen, his dance partner was not Jiali, and he went with a group of people. He came over to pat Peter on the back and begged Peter to let him be his partner, but Peter was very reluctant and gave it to him. I had a little pleasure and didn't speak. He didn't speak either. I never saw a more silent man, and he was so handsome and more attractive. As soon as the dance was over, Peter took me back to my seat. He was a little upset and pulled me away from the place.

I was very happy that night.A woman will always be a woman, and she is so happy for a little thing. In joy, I am not without pity for myself. The next day I didn't expect anything, but his call came. No matter how experienced I am, I can't help but tongue-tied. "How did you find me?" "How big is Hong Kong?" He said lightly. "Is something wrong?" I asked. "I want to ask you out tomorrow night." "Can." "I will pick you up at the door of your apartment at eight o'clock." "Can." "See you tomorrow.".

"goodbye." Not a word of nonsense, what a man like a man. After hanging up the phone, I stretched myself. When Jiali saw it, she was curious, "It's so relaxing." I felt a bit guilty, although I knew that there was nothing between him and Carrie, but in the end I knew him from Carrie, she knew him first. I am silent. "Why," she didn't let me go, "you look a little weird, what's on your mind that you didn't say?" I looked around and said to him, "This report, take a look, it's ridiculously high." That night, Jiawen took me to the best western restaurant. I drank a lobster soup, ate a raw steak, and added a "passion fruit" ice cream.I hardly stretched after eating, I just felt very comfortable, and even the last trace of shame was gone.

I have been friends with Jiali for many years, and always thought she was good, but now I think she is very naive, nosy, and vulgar in behavior, but she has committed all the problems that women should have. Needless to say, this is naturally because of Jiawen.A woman's friendship, due to various reasons, is as fragile as a baby, and it dies at once. I inquired very reservedly: "You know Carrie very well, don't you?" "Sister's classmate." He replied. "What about me?" I asked playfully, "A colleague of your sister's classmate?" He just smiled and said nothing. When he drove me home, he didn't suggest a date for the next date. I'm a little disappointed.Women always hope that men will fall in love with them at first sight and chase after them desperately. Who would like to see such a pale face? But then it occurred to me that maybe he is a silent person with reserved feelings and not good at expressing himself. After finding this reason to excuse him, I feel better again. But in the future, when the phone rings, I hope to hear his voice and ask me out again.The originally peaceful life suddenly had more ripples, and it was impossible to tell whether it was sadness or joy for a while. After waiting for ten full days, just when I was about to give up in frustration, his call came again. "Long time no see." I said sourly. "School is busy with homework." He said, "How about going dancing?" I stepped into the cloud again, forgave him all, and asked him to see him Sunday night like a puppy. After hanging up the phone, Jiali stood at the door with a livid face, her back propped up, her eyes seemed to shoot poisonous arrows to kill me. I looked at her guilty. She closed the door and fired immediately, she said: "You are shameless, you know he is my boyfriend, and you still ask him to dance?" I blushed, "You are shameless, why do you eavesdrop on my phone call?" "You know he's my boyfriend!" "Boyfriend? You haven't even said anything in ten strokes! Who are you? Why did your boyfriend ask me out on the street for no reason?" "You seduce him!" "Ah, things in the world are so simple. We are all innocent children. I seduce him, and he comes? Are you dreaming?" "Then why did he ask me to watch a drama yesterday?" Jiali retorted. "What? He's still dating you?" I was stunned. "What else? Do you think he's loyal to you?" Jiali asked coldly, "Who do you think you are?" I was stunned with anger. What Carrie means is that we are all women who play with him, and he has no sincerity. "What are we arguing about?" Carrie sat down, "It would be indecent to argue any longer." I sat there, speechless. "I advise you not to go dancing on Sunday." No matter how angry I was, I was still awake. I squinted at Jiali, "I'm not going?" I asked back, "Then how about you go?" "If you want to be so cheap, send it to his door to play for him, can I save you?" "Take your mouth back a little bit," I said angrily, "This is my family's business, so ignore it." "We shall unite, Joe!" "I don't want to join forces with you," I said, "He is not married, so of course he has the right to choose a girl with good conditions. It is not uncommon to change a female partner every day. Why should I join forces with you? Everyone competes fairly." "You!" She gritted her teeth with hatred, "I still consider you a good friend and introduce you to him." "Why don't you think about it, maybe we are destined?" I said angrily. "You old aunt is in a nympho, and you want to catch your husband before it's too late—" I couldn't help but slap her across the face. She froze, stared at me for a long time, and then walked out of my room. I know I've lost a friend since, but what is a friend?I sneered, why can't she face challenges like me? I sat down, took a sip of cold coffee, and felt very sorry for myself. Everyone thinks highly of themselves, and I'm no exception. Why should I be one of the many girls under him? But if I don't participate in the competition and lose the opportunity, if this goes on like this, maybe one day I will become his girlfriend. I was very hesitant, should I fight this battle or not? It is said that we should fight for one breath. But what about a Saturday dance date?Could it be that I just sat at home on weekends just to catch my breath? I have a splitting headache. I also know that I can't stand the temptation, and I will definitely go to dance with him, so I am full of resentment, oh woman, I am unhappy when I go, and I am unhappy when I don't sit at home. poor woman. Saturday's face was ugly, but my dress was first-class, beautiful and spectacular, and the current price was eight thousand five hundred yuan. The man Jiawen is very smart. He has never dated high-paying ladies. He just chooses whoever he likes. He only drives a car to pick up and drop off, and then pays for a meal. When he is happy, he sends a box Candy, that's all, but us stupid girls, like moths to a lamp, flocked towards him without any future. Thinking of this, I sighed, I went this time, if I don't learn to be good again, then Carrie should scold me. I bow my head. Jia Wen came to pick me up, holding a bouquet of New Zealand roses in his hand, I secretly sighed, such a beautiful and capable man, such a non-focused heart, I will quit in the future, but I don’t know how many girls are vying to come Fill in my vacancy, will women really be unable to live without men? I don't want to believe it, I lower my head. When he arrived at the nightclub, he was surprised and said, "Do you have something on your mind?" There was no need to tell him, I forced a smile and said, "I'm not happy with my colleagues." "You should forget about business after work." Before I finished speaking, I saw Jiali at another table with a boy accompanying her. She didn't shy away and stared at me. She obviously did it on purpose, knowing that I and Jiawen Come here, just come to pick on us, it's terrible, this woman. In fact, Jia Wen is not someone of hers, so why is she always reluctant to see him, she always doesn't believe that he has the right to date others. Jiawen also saw Jiali, he smiled, "The colleague you are referring to is her." I feel really shameless, because I have grown the prestige of a man and destroyed the ambition of a woman. I don't answer. "We are friends, so let's just sit together." Jiawen dragged me to Jiali's table, and I didn't even have time to object, and I didn't want to be too ungenerous. Jiali didn't expect Jiawen to do this trick, she was stunned, because she had another boyfriend, and it was not easy to do it too ugly, so the four of us had our own ghosts and sat up in the middle of the night, and Jiawen was naturally the only victory Or, although he doesn't talk much, and his expression can't tell, I still hate him. I really overestimated this man. Carrie and I are both beautifully dressed, but we sit there and get angry. This is one too many times, and I don't plan to go to Jiawen's appointment again. Carrie and I almost said together, "I've got a bit of a headache..." looked at each other, then got up and walked, escorted home by our male companion. I sat in his car with a stiff face and didn't say a word. Jiawen apologized and said, "I'm sorry for making you two hurt." I couldn't be playful anymore, I lowered my head, ready to bring this relationship to an end. Unexpectedly, he said: "The day after tomorrow, are you free? My father's birthday, I invite relatives to dinner, if you are willing to come, I will introduce you to them." I didn't expect this trick, and I was completely stunned.Introduce me to his family?That is naturally a sincere move, but Qiu Qiu, don't trust people easily. I mustered all my courage before answering, "Let's talk on the phone again." He smiled, "Okay." Say goodbye to me. When I got back to the apartment, I regretted putting on airs like this. If he doesn't call tomorrow, I will be finished. His father's birthday is only once a year. Even if the distribution is fair, he will have to wait until next year to invite other women. This time I really won. Thinking of this, I can't help being a little happy. Jiali Jiali, may I ask if you sleep well at night? All day on Tuesday, I showed up with an overwhelming mental attitude. By the afternoon, I hadn’t received a call from Jiawen, and I didn’t mind, so I just dumped him and made up for it. At least he had expressed his apology beforehand and wanted to make up for it. If you don't care about it, life will be easier. When I got off work in the evening, when I looked up, Jiali was leaning against the door of my room again. "Hello." I said. She was amazed at my friendliness. "Do you have something to do with me?" I asked, "It seems that you look good. Have you reached an understanding with Jiawen? He invited you to his father's birthday party? Oh no, he has already asked me to go to that party, probably He invited you to his mother's birthday party?" She was taken aback, "You guessed it all." "Yes, I also guessed that he is a man who is extremely afraid of loneliness, otherwise he would not have to go out to please us, so Jiali, we are really in an advantage. I don't know your attitude, I decided to be tough." The phone rang, I picked up the receiver, it was Jia Wen. I said in an extremely sweet voice: "Is it Jiawen? I have a meeting after get off work tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the appointment. I wish the old man a birthday like Nanshan and good luck like the East China Sea. It's a pity. I don't know who will replace me." Happy lady, hahaha." He didn't say anything, just expressed his hope that I could find some time. I said, "Work is more important than personal matters. After all, the boss pays my salary every month, right? That's my living expenses, so I have to let him control me." He said goodbye and hung up the phone. After I put away the line, my complexion sank, I sighed, and said mockingly: "When dealing with people who are not sincere, I have to be a jerk. Who am I better than? Treat people with sincerity, and they will play tricks on you." "But you've missed a chance," said Carrie, folding her hands across her chest. "Opportunity? What opportunity? Do you think he is a person who wants to get married? Besides, you also know that many women are single for the rest of their lives. That's not surprising." "How lonely." "There are so many men on the street. If there is no love, what difference does it make? Many men are willing to accompany you to your apartment to solve the problem of loneliness." I said, "I can't interfere with your choice. I personally don't think he is worth worrying about." I picked up my bag, "Good luck." In the evening, it was very cold, the wind was strong, and it blew on my face. I felt really desolate. All women should be cared for. At this moment, we should sit at home drinking tea and chatting with our children, but we have to fight outside to find living expenses. It seems unnecessary to trouble yourself. I took a breath of cold air, and a voice beside me said, "Let's go together." I turned around and saw that it was Carrie. I feigned disappointment and said, "I wish it was a handsome man driving a Morgan sports car to rescue me from this predicament." she laughs. "It's been a long time since we had tea together." "Carrie, I beg your pardon for what I have done. It was my ignorance." "Should I be angry for the rest of my life?" She touched her cheek, "That slap is really hard." "Excuse me," I said. "Forget it, forget it." She said: "Old friend, what are you talking about?" I said, "I feel tired, like I've fought a war, and I want to go back early and take a shower of hot water to cool off and go to bed." "I understand, I'm in a hurry, goodbye." She waved to me. I stopped a street car and went home. That night, Jiawen's phone call came to my apartment. I was surprised: "What do you want to say to me?" "You're angry, aren't you?" "It was a little bit at the beginning, but now I am not angry." I said truthfully. "Is it because I'm not specific?" I just laughed and said nothing. "It's not wrong for an unmarried man to be selective." I am noncommittal, still laughing. Yes, he is absolutely qualified to do that.But I'm not happy to take turns in front of him, so I won't do it.Of course, I also think that he is a good old man with excellent conditions, but he is just a man, and he is more or less honest. "You won't come out again?" I am silent. "You won't even eat lunch?" I said, "It's not worth it for you to talk so much for me." He laughed dryly. "Jiawen, I'm very tired and want to rest." he sighed. I was a little hesitant, and I endured it for a while, and finally pulled the quilt and fell asleep. This happens to every girl, right?Until their marriage and childbirth came to an end, they all had such hesitant days. Maybe Jiawen is also feeling hesitant, he has one less girl under his command, and they are no longer at his mercy. I had a night dream, very restless. The next day Carrie told me that she couldn't refuse Jiawen, she liked him and decided to listen to him. I was dejected and could not say anything. But Carrie says she's going out with other men at the same time -- "No loss, they pick on me. I pick on them too." I think this is already a loss, but everyone has different interests, so what can I say? "I'm not going to say 'no', he's too good, I like to go out with him, eat and drink, enjoy a weekend, tomorrow? In the future? I don't worry, it's useless to worry, I don't care anymore, why are we alive, if I can't even enjoy this moment of happiness... I think the society will have to forgive me." "As long as you are happy, you don't care what the society thinks. When you cry, the society may not pat you on the shoulder to comfort you." "But why don't you come out and play?" "I don't feel happy, I just feel desolate," I said frankly, "so I'm not happy to go." "I also feel pretty desolate," she laughed, "I'm so happy and desolate, I don't care about that much anymore." Jiawen didn't come to ask me out again. My attitude is obvious: he must give up other women and serve me alone. If he feels it is worthless and painful, then it is better not to give up his original way of life. Jiawen, I sighed, he walked in the whole forest, when will he give up the whole forest for a single flower? During the Chinese New Year, Jiali told me that she had already been to Jiawen Apartment.It's coming in, I thought, but the apartment is a public women's rest room, so where's the fun? "His apartment is really big and beautiful. It's over 2,700, and you can ride a bicycle in the living room." She looked envious. It sounds as if she already hopes to be the housewife there and treat guests there. In fact, Jiawen is a player, why does he want a housewife? "I like the surrounding environment very much. It is quiet and noble. Oh, how can I make him propose to me?" "Fall Gu." I said. "Don't be kidding, okay?" "I'm telling the truth," I said, "Marriage is just the beginning, not the end. You have to be mentally prepared for it." "But I want to get married so much..." "They say that women most want to get married at the age of 23 or 4, and it will be fine after 27 or 8. This is due to the influence of female genetics, and they hope to start a family at that time." "I feel tired from working." I shrugged, "Being a human is exhausting." "Some wives are happy." "One family doesn't know the other's affairs." I said. "It's rare for the fifth queen to be as optimistic as you." I can only laugh, I am not optimistic, but I am so strong, if I admit defeat first, I will definitely lose, this is a morale issue. Not long after Chinese New Year, Carrie asked for a week's leave, saying that she was in poor health. I was surprised and went to visit her. She was lying on the bed, her spirits were still strong, but her face was very pale. She said: "You don't need to ask, he has a fiancee. I met him that morning." "Maybe she claims to be his fiancée," I said, trying to comfort her. "No, he admitted it himself." "Is that the end?" I asked. "yes." I nodded, "Why do you want to take sick leave?" "Too much to drink." She smiled wryly. "Carrie, let's encourage each other." I said, "Cheer up and start over." "You won't laugh at me?" she asked. "How dare you laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps?" I asked back. She held my hand tightly. When I went out, the sky was already a little humid, and when I returned to the south, spring was coming soon. And what about our romance in the spring? Jiawen is still rolling in the pink pile, fiancee?I do not believe. I don't believe it for a minute.But I believe there are better men than him.
