Chapter 138
Dunzi lay quietly on the sofa in Lu Qing's house. The fatigue from working all the time, the discomfort from drinking, the stomachache from the kiss on the cheek just now, all came crashing down on him, causing pain in his temples.
What does this mean?
Dunzi touched his cheek again and said, fuck, what's the point?
But Lu Qing actually...
Dunzi is not stupid. He has been doing business for many years and has met some girls who like him. However, he is focused on his career and has no intention of starting a family, so he directly rejected them.
Lu Qing was different. They loved bickering right after they met. They were not very familiar with each other, and almost every time they met it was because of Shuang Shuang. He loved to tease her. After all, it was quite interesting to see a quiet girl who was usually gentle and generous in front of everyone getting angry and glaring.
As for their relationship, it has indeed become much better since I taught her how to swim. They are now friends, but how could this happen?!
Dunzi grabbed a handful of his hair and was completely troubled. He felt confused and wondered how he should face Lu Qing.
Will this girl confess her love to me later?
What should he say?
As always, she hasn't thought about falling in love and starting a family yet, so how can he reject her politely without hurting her feelings?
What if Lu Qing cries?
Is he too inhuman?
So annoying!
With a bang, the door opened.
Dunzi immediately closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be sleeping.
Lu Qing came out of the bedroom with a calm face, obviously well adjusted. He walked straight to the sleeping man and pushed his arm.
"Dunzi... Liang Jingyi, wake up."
This time, Dunzi took advantage of the slope to go down the hill, opened his eyes naturally, and smiled a little stiffly, "I just fell asleep."
"Get up and drink the porridge. You have to take medicine after drinking the porridge. Don't delay."
"Um."
Dunzi suppressed the strangeness in his heart, washed his hands, sat at the table and drank the porridge at just the right temperature. However, he felt a little bland because he had something on his mind.
However, the development of the matter was beyond his expectation. From the end of the bowl of porridge to the time when he took the medicine and said goodbye, Lu Qing did not show any abnormality. She only reminded him to take the medicine on time. There was no topic about the relationship between men and women at all, let alone a confession of love.
Only after walking out of the apartment building where Lu Qing lived did Dunzi turn around and take a look. The old iron gate was silent in the night.
What is going on?!
Was I kissed?!
And then?!
——
Dunzi waited for this for a long time. After Lu Qing kissed him secretly that night, there was really no further news from him and he never contacted him actively. Because they both left for the winter vacation, there was no way for them to meet each other.
Dunzi, who had already rehearsed in his mind how to politely reject Lu Qing, not to make her cry or hurt her feelings, was completely confused. What was going on?
At night, Dunzi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He was unsure what Lu Qing's attitude towards him was.
Like yourself?
Are you kidding yourself?
But she is not that kind of person.
I turned on the TV and saw a TV series about parents' affairs. A little girl was molested and abandoned by a man. She pointed at her cheek and complained to her best friend.
"He kissed me, but he ran away. I don't want to live anymore. My life is so miserable."
"Fuck." Dunzi cursed inwardly and turned off the TV. Why did he act like such a little wife!
After being tortured by this incident for half a month, Dunzi could no longer bear it and took some time to go to the People's Hospital, claiming that he had a cold and was getting medicine, but in fact...
He looked around and after asking around, he found out that Lu Qing was making rounds.
"Handsome guy, are you Lu Qing's friend?" The nurse who was asked looked at Dunzi and couldn't help but become curious.
"Yes, friend." Dunzi was very anxious at the moment. How could he kiss someone and then run away without saying anything? He had to...
"Lu Qing!" The nurse saw Lu Qing coming towards her and called her excitedly, "Your friend is here!"
Then she walked over and whispered, "You have such a handsome friend, why is the head nurse still thinking about finding you a date? Why not just take him down?!"
The nurse thought her voice was low, but Dunzi had good hearing and heard every word clearly. She just suspected that she had heard it wrongly.
"Why are you here?" Lu Qing stared at his stomach and asked worriedly, "Do you have stomachache again? You are still young, so be careful and don't get stomach problems in the future."
"Are you going on a blind date?" Dunzi ignored her question and spoke directly.
Lu Qing obviously didn't expect that he would hear what Nurse Jiang said. He was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, the head nurse is very enthusiastic about introducing it. I'm going to take a look."
"You..." Dunzi looked at her calm face, and remembering the warm touch of his cheek that night, he couldn't help but move his gaze to her red lips.
The lips are plump and rosy, like peaches in summer, full of water.
But after kissing me with these red lips, I actually turned around and went on a blind date? ! ? ! !
Dunzi felt a lump in his throat and suddenly became speechless.
Dunzi looked away awkwardly, clenched his fists, and exchanged a few more words with her before leaving.
The night was dim, Lu Qing looked at Dunzi's back as he left, and said goodbye silently. It was indeed his own impulse that night, and his usually peaceful life should not be like this.
"Did you really agree to the blind date arranged by the head nurse?" Nurse Jiang poked her head over and asked curiously.
"No." Lu Qing shook his head. "I think I'll just forget it. I don't want to get married through a blind date."
It was the twenty-sixth day of the lunar year. Dunzi was on the train the next day, so he had a meal with his good brother before leaving.
After his stomach was healed, he became troubled again and drank a gulp of wine. "Chen'er, tell me, is there such a person?"
Wu Xiangchen had already noticed that there was a problem with his brother. Dunzi was a man who rarely showed signs of distress.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"I know a friend, a man, about the same age as us, who was kissed by a girl. Then, the girl turned around and acted as if nothing had happened and went on a blind date with another man! What do you think of this?"
Wu Xiangchen glanced at him, now interested, with a rare glint of gossip in his eyes, "Who kissed you?"
Dunzi hesitated, struggling between saving face and telling the truth to his brother, and finally compromised, "Don't worry about it, just tell me, what's going on? No, I'm stunned, how could this happen!"
"People like you, but you ignore her like a blockhead. She must be sad. Didn't you see it?" Wu Xiangchen asked him while taking a bite of food.
"She doesn't seem to like me at all. We quarreled as soon as we met." Dunzi became more and more depressed. What was going on now? "I was thinking about how to reject her and not let the girl be too sad."
"Isn't that perfect? She didn't even mention it and went straight to the blind date. Why are you still worried?" Wu Xiangchen looked at him, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Or do you like her too, and are you sad now?"
"Bullshit! I don't like it. I don't have these thoughts now. Now is the critical moment to enter the northern market."
"If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Why are you so excited?" Wu Xiangchen laughed at him, but also felt a little envious of him. How long would he have to endure?
Before they parted, Wu Xiangchen patted her on the shoulder and joked, "You'd better think clearly whether you like Lu Qing or not. Don't wait until the blind date is successful, or you will regret it."
Watching Wu Xiangchen's departing back, Dunzi was still thinking about the phrase "the blind date was successful". He felt a little uncomfortable. No, how did he know it was Lu Qing's?!

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar year, Dunzi prepared to leave early in the morning. He calculated that he still had some time, so he went downstairs to Lu Qing's house without realizing it.
Along the way, he was still in shock that Lu Qing liked him, and he was struggling with the thought of going on a blind date with someone else after this man kissed him.
He had never been so distressed in his twenty-plus years of life.
Lu Qing was just about to go out for work when the two met downstairs.
"Why are you here?" Lu Qing found that the more he wanted to get rid of this feeling, the more Dunzi would suddenly appear in front of him and would come close to him.
I lowered my eyes to look at the suitcase in his hand, "It's today's train, right?"
"Yes." Dunzi touched his nose and asked a few awkward questions about her holiday arrangements. He also brought up Shuangshuang to justify his visit. "Shuangshuang insisted that I remember to come and see you. She was worried about you."
"Shuangshuang just likes to worry. Then you should get off quickly and don't delay the train." Lu Qing's eyes fell on his left cheek, and he suddenly remembered his impulse that night. He immediately looked away. Fortunately, he was the only one who knew about this.
"Okay, I'm leaving now." Dunzi said this, but he didn't move at all. He just said, "By the way, how was your blind date?"
"Ah?" Lu Qing didn't expect that he still remembered what he said casually that day, so he could only continue to perfunctorily, "Not bad."
The cold wind around seemed to be even stronger, and Lu Qing shivered. The winter in the north is really cold.
"Then I'm leaving. Goodbye." Not wanting to talk about blind dates with Dunzi anymore, Lu Qing said goodbye directly.
"Okay, bye."
On the return train, Dunzi's ears were still ringing with the words "It's okay, Lu Qing is really good!"
She kissed me, and then immediately went on a blind date with another man, and we got along pretty well!
Why do I feel so upset?
=
The New Year on the island is becoming more and more lively. In previous years, firecrackers were lit on New Year's Eve, and in the following days, all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers started to be sold. The New Year is becoming more and more splendid.
After returning home, Dunzi rested for half a day and then prepared for the New Year with his parents.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, several families gather together to prepare food and eat the New Year's Eve dinner together.
“Hey~”
“Hey~”
The two kids, Dunzi and Shuangshuang, were assigned to make dumplings, but the brother and sister were both unhappy and neither of them was motivated.
"Why are you sighing, little girl?" Dunzi glanced at Shuangshuang. Why did the always lively and lovely girl look worried?
Shuangshuang had a hard time expressing her suffering. After returning home, she had originally planned to enjoy a happy winter vacation, but as soon as she had free time, she would think of her brother Chenchen.
When no one helps me pick up food or scoop soup for me during meals, I will think of him. When I eat seafood, I will remember that he said he hadn't eaten authentic seafood for a long time. When I sleep at night, I will remember how he wrapped a scarf around me at the train platform that day. Although more than a month has passed, whenever I think of it, my heart starts beating very fast, thump, thump, as if it is going to jump out.
But she couldn't tell these things to her brother Dunzi.
"Nothing." Shuangshuang bit her lip and noticed that Brother Dunzi also looked worried. "Brother Dunzi, what's wrong with you? Is there any problem with your business?"
Brother Dunzi only worries about business.
"How do you know it's business?" Dunzi smiled bitterly, "What if it's something else?"
"Impossible." Shuangshuang felt that she knew Brother Dunzi too well. "Aunt Xiuhui said that if you ever worry about women instead of business, she will burn incense to express her deep regret."
Dunzi: "..."
