Chapter 557 Eating Too Much
On the way home, Gu Siqing told Han Zhengping about Xia Ying and Zhang Ziyao. Now she couldn't hide it from him anymore. She also sighed, "The story between them could be written into a novel of hundreds of thousands of words."
A little bit of water, maybe you can write a million.
Han Zhengping was also very moved after hearing this, and said: "What would you do if you wrote me a love letter and I didn't see it?"
Gu Siqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "I should give you this hypothesis."
At this point, she suddenly remembered that Han Zhengping had never written her a love letter. Although they often corresponded when he was abroad, those were not love letters!
"You haven't written me a love letter yet." Gu Siqing looked at him and said.
Han Zhengping was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I'll write it when I get back, but remember to write me back."
The two chatted and joked until they arrived near the government compound. Gu Siqing asked Han Zhengping to stop the car and wait for Xia Ying.
After a while, Xia Ying and Zhang Ziyao's cars arrived one after another. In order to get first-hand information, Gu Siqing hurriedly got out of the car and got into Xia Ying's car.
"How are you two?" Gu Siqing asked.
Xia Ying watched Zhang Ziyao drive into the compound and said, "Let's try to get along first."
Gu Siqing guessed that this would be the result. After studying for so many years, and now that Zhang Ziyao is also interested in her, no matter whether it will work out in the end or not, she has to give herself a chance, at least she won't have any regrets.
"However, we agreed not to let our family know for now, and you shouldn't tell anyone." Xia Ying said again.
Gu Siqing nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut."
Xia Ying smiled as she drove into the government compound. Seeing her happiness, Gu Siqing asked, "When are you guys going on a date?"
"What? You want to impart your experience to me?" Xia Ying teased.
Gu Siqing acted like she was very experienced, leaned in close and said, "I can actually teach you some lessons."
Xia Ying smiled, "You say."
Gu Siqing: "When it comes to relationships between men and women, every first time is important. For example, when you go out for the first time, you have to make him realize that as a man he has to take care of you. Carry your bag, hold an umbrella, take the initiative to book a restaurant, and so on. The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, and after the third time, it will slowly become a habit."
Xia Ying laughed out loud, "Is this how you train Zhengping?"
Gu Siqing shrugged. In fact, Han Zhengping didn't use her much to discipline him. He was quite self-aware. Doesn't this mean that Zhang Ziyao might be a male chauvinist or a straight man?
The car entered the Xia family's yard. Gu Siqing and Xia Ying entered the house together, followed by Han Zhengping. Many people were sitting in the living room. The Xia family was there, as were Gu Yimin and Ye Chi, the matchmakers.
Seeing Xia Ying's smile, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this blind date should be quite successful. Old Mrs. Xia smiled and asked Xia Ying, "Is Fang Zhen's child good?"
But Xia Ying said, "It's not Taihang."
Everyone's originally happy hearts sank. Feng Hailan asked unhappily, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Xia Ying: "I ate too much."
Everyone: ""
The room was silent for a while, and Gu Yimin broke the silence first. She said, "Soldiers eat a lot. Ye Chi eats more in one meal than I eat in a whole day."
Ye Chi: I am innocently caught in the crossfire!
"Yeah!" Feng Hailan rolled up her sleeves and felt like hitting someone. "Are we so poor we can't afford to eat? Besides, he eats a lot because the government supports him."
"Anyway, we are just not suitable." Xia Ying acted as if she didn't want to say more, and the Xia family didn't say anything even if they were angry.
Speaking of which, the Xia family has a very democratic atmosphere, otherwise Xia Ying's refusal to cooperate with the blind date would have been forced into a mess long ago.
Seeing that they had nothing else to do, Gu Siqing and Gu Yimin stood up and said goodbye. After leaving the government compound, Gu Yimin asked Gu Siqing, "There must be a reason why Xia Ying hasn't found a partner. Don't you know?"
Since Gu Siqing had promised Xia Ying, she couldn't tell her even if her sister asked. She said, "Anyway, don't introduce her to anyone."
Gu Yimin understood and stopped asking questions. She got in the car and went home with Ye Chi. On the way, she asked Ye Chi, "How did you tell Fang Zhen?"
Ye Chi: "What else can I say? To be honest, just say that Xia Ying dislikes him for eating too much."
Gu Yimin couldn't help laughing, "You know very well that this is Xia Ying's excuse."
Ye Chi: "But he definitely didn't control his food intake when he ate."
Gu Yimin was curious, "Don't people in your army control their food intake when they go on blind dates?"
She remembered that when she first met Ye Chi, he didn't eat much.
Ye Chi glanced at her and said, "In order to get a wife, we naturally have to talk about some strategies."
Gu Yimin was speechless.
Here, Zhang Ziyao told Zhang Zijun about his relationship with Xia Ying, and finally told him, "Don't tell your family."
Zhang Zijun looked at him with disdain, "Now I know you are not just blind."
Zhang Ziyao smiled bitterly. He wasn't blind, he just hadn't had the heart to do it before. Others would have the stirrings of puberty at seventeen or eighteen, but he never had that.
He and Tang Wei were classmates, and nothing much happened, when rumors started circulating that they were dating. He tried to explain, but no one seemed to believe him, so he stopped explaining. After all, he wasn't the one who suffered in this kind of situation.
As for Tang Wei, he asked her to explain, but she always hesitated. She herself did not care about being gossiped about, so he did not care either.
Later, the Tang family came to his home to propose marriage. He thought that since he was going to get married anyway, it didn't matter who he married, so he agreed.
When they first got married, although he didn't like Tang Wei, he also wanted to live a respectful life. However, he didn't expect Tang Wei to be so materialistic and ignorant. He warned her twice, but she didn't listen, so he began to lose his patience. He asked for a divorce, but Tang Wei refused, so they just lived as strangers.
Thinking about it now, I was so stupid back then.
As for Xia Ying, they were three years apart in age, and he hadn't noticed her at that time. It was just fate!
"Second brother," Zhang Zijun patted Zhang Ziyao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Dating is different from dealing with people in the officialdom. You have to be sincere and not use those tricks."
"I know." Zhang Ziyao said
He is now afraid that he cannot give Xia Ying the same feelings, so why would he dare to be so scheming?
"Let me tell you," Zhang Zijun began to impart his experience, "the first point is to be obedient. Just do whatever Xia Ying asks you to do. The second point is also to be obedient. In any case, just be obedient."
Zhang Ziyao: “”
"Don't disbelieve me," Zhang Zijun said, noticing his speechless expression. "Look how much I listen to Erhui. We both have such a good life."
Zhang Ziyao: "Okay, I get it. Go home and take care of the kids."
: Actually, since last night, I've been debating whether to follow everyone's lead and not have Zhang Er and Xia Ying together, but in the end, I decided to stick with my original idea. Nothing in life is perfect.
I've actually been quite hesitant and emotional these past few days. Some readers have said they're starting to dislike Gu Xiaosi, and I've been reflecting on whether I've truly failed as a writer. Then I realized that everything is multifaceted, and everyone's experiences and perspectives on things can lead to different outcomes.
There will certainly be people who like and dislike the characters and events in the article, and it is impossible for me to satisfy the preferences of all readers.
Alas, I have a somewhat tangled personality, which is not a good thing.
