Chapter 38

October 20, Friday, sunny.

Yesterday's meeting with Mr. Zheng went well, except that he was half an hour late.

But after he arrived, he explained to me that he forgot to change the alarm clock. I knew he always had the habit of taking a nap. According to his usual habit, he should have just woken up at 1:30. Moreover, he came from the Turtle District, so I should be more understanding.

He looked the same as in the photos I had seen. The only difference was probably his height. His profile said he was 175cm tall, but when he stood next to me, he didn't seem that tall. He told me he was 172cm tall naked.

Yesterday we went hiking together, although we only climbed halfway; we went to the water town, although it was empty and there was nothing there, and we almost got lost; we went to Wanda to eat barbecue together, and then took a walk to the pedestrian street together (about 11 kilometers).

As I said before, he is a very considerate person with high emotional intelligence, but he just lacks a bit of luck.

Because I am not a native of City N, and I have a loan that cannot be paid off before marriage, I have always failed in blind dates. He asked me if I minded this, and I told him frankly that I didn't mind.

Just like my parents said, young people nowadays are under too much pressure. A boy born in 1993 has not even been working for ten years at most. And it is obviously unrealistic to expect him to own a house and a car without a loan in a big city like City N within these ten years.

The most important thing between people is mutual understanding and tolerance.

My mother said that she doesn’t expect me to find a very good boyfriend. As long as he is down-to-earth, has good character, treats me well, and I happen to like him, that’s enough.

My father also taught me since I was a child not to covet things that do not belong to me, and not to look down on anyone I meet who is at the lowest point in life, because life has ups and downs, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Cherish what you already have, grasp what you can grasp, and don't worry about having a bad life.

Because my parents love me enough and give me a way out, I have always maintained a good attitude and have truly become what my father hopes I will be, a cheerful girl who loves herself, understands and tolerates the difficulties of others, and learns to face life with a smile.

So obviously, we had a great chat.

This afternoon, I was sitting in the office when I suddenly received a large bouquet of flowers and a same-day Armani lipstick from JD.com. Everything happened so quickly that I was caught off guard.

Mr. Zheng said he would come to see me in the evening, and I roughly guessed something.

But it was too fast and I couldn't adapt. So in the afternoon, I asked for leave to go home and told my mother about it. I didn't know what I was looking for, but I always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

My mom told me that if you're not ready to be someone's girlfriend, don't make a decision lightly. Think more about whether you like him and whether you can accept moving into the future with him.

(Oh my goodness, it turns out I inherited the love brain gene from my mom)

I thought about it all afternoon today, reinstalled Qingteng, and looked at his homepage for a long time. Finally, my eyes were unconsciously attracted to another person.

I think I was probably not prepared for this. It wasn't that Mr. Zheng wasn't good enough, or that he wasn't suitable, but I just lacked a heart-throb feeling.

But I still want to find a boy who makes my heart beat as my boyfriend, because you can’t hide your love for someone. You can hide anything, but you can’t hide your love for someone.

I still like Mr. Shi, the Mr. Shi who seems to treat me like a dog. Although I am sad about this, I just can't control my love for him.

Never mind. I'm going to be a good person.

I returned the Armani lipstick in cash to Mr. Zheng, gave him A for yesterday's meal money, and finally wished him well.
