"Yeah, I'm twenty-eight."
"I can't tell, but it's normal to be urged to get married at the age of 28. They're pushing you pretty hard, right?"
Shen Buci couldn't understand the emotion that quickly disappeared in her eyes, and always felt that he had accidentally missed something, "It's okay, after all, there is still a younger brother at home, and the two old grandchildren are also in their arms, so it doesn't matter whether I have children or not."
Seeing that he refused to get married, they suspected that there was something wrong with his health. Last year, they asked him hesitantly, and Shen Buci felt helpless.
Shi Qingruo raised her eyes, frowned slightly, then relaxed, her eyes filled with thought.
When we arrived at the living area, the guard in the duty room ran over and said, "Mr. Shen, there's a call for you. Your family wants you to call back."
"Okay, thank you." After thanking him, Shen Buci looked at Shi Qingruo, "You go back first, I'll make a call."
Shi Qingruo shook her head. "I was just about to make a phone call. I'll call after you finish."
“Okay.” Shen Buci entered the duty room and called back.
Shi Qingruo didn't go in, but stood outside the door watching the dust rising above the base.
There are often sandstorms in the northwest. When they come, the sky turns yellow and the air is choking.
"Hello, Mom."
"You're welcome. Your father and I will come to see you during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Okay, you and Dad, be careful on the road, and don't bring too many things. It's too tiring to take care of luggage while riding in a car."
"Okay, there's one more thing. There's a girl, 21 years old..."
"Mom, there's no need to introduce someone." Shen Buci glanced at Shi Qingruo outside the door, "Don't worry about no one to take care of me when I'm old, the country will take care of me."
He lowered his voice and said, "Besides, Mom, I already have someone I like, so please stop trying to find a partner for me."
"Are you serious?! What kind of job does the other person do?"
"Really? We've only known each other for two days. She doesn't even know I have this thought. She's my colleague."
"Colleague, doesn't that mean I'm as busy as you?" Yang Hongjuan started to worry again.
"Yes, busy."
"Forget it, just be busy. At least you want to date someone. You have to work harder. I introduced so many people to you but you didn't like them. You rejected them as soon as they came to you. Now that you have found someone you like, you have to seize the opportunity."
“Yeah, I know, is everything okay at home?” Shen Buci returned to his normal volume.
"Okay, everything is fine. Your brother got promoted again a month ago..."
After listening to her mumbling for a few minutes, Shen Buci interrupted at the right time, “The phone bill is quite expensive, and there are colleagues waiting to call home, so I’ll hang up first, you and dad take care of your health.”
"Okay, go and have a rest."
Shen Buci hung up the phone and went out, saying, “I’ll wait for you to finish the call and go back together.”
"No need. You're tired after working all afternoon. You should go back and rest early."
Her attitude became a little distant, Shen Buci hid the confusion on his face and smiled: “It’s okay, not too tired, you can go and make a call.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Qingruo said nothing more and went to make a phone call.
After about five or six minutes, when she came out, Shen Buci walked with her to the dormitory, looking at her silent face, he asked: "Qing Ruo, did I say anything wrong?"
"No, why do you ask?" Shi Qingruo turned to look at him.
"I am very sensitive to other people's emotional changes. If I said something wrong, I hope you can tell me. We have a lot of contact at work, and I don't want there to be any gap between us."
“Communication is the best way to resolve misunderstandings.”
It's not that her attitude is wrong, it's that he is not satisfied.
