Thinking of this, I shook my head slightly. This messy food alone is enough to warrant a scolding.
Okay, let's just treat it as a specialty dish. If they don't eat it, we can save it for tomorrow's drinks.
When we left in the afternoon, we arranged for Liu Quan and Xu Shuai to set up a light at the door so that we could have a barbecue by the roadside that night. We put the table outside the door so that it would feel more spacious.
Hou Liwei stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, smoking a cigarette, and occasionally nodding and greeting acquaintances who had finished their meals.
Seeing that Su Ya and Liu Juanjuan had finished eating in the cafeteria, he walked over to Su Ya and said, "Can we talk?"
Su Ya glanced at Liu Juanjuan, who immediately understood and went back to her office.
The two found a relatively quiet place, and Hou Liwei said, "You're interested in that kid?"
"I don't know what you mean?" Su Ya said softly, her head lowered.
"Don't you know what I mean to you?" Hou Liwei said urgently. In his mind, Su Ya's words just now were just her pretending to be ignorant.
“I know, but I don’t want to be in a relationship with you right now. No, I’ve never thought about being in a relationship with you! I just see you as a friend.” Su Ya said, looking up at Hou Liwei.
"We used to watch movies together every day, dance at the factory club, and even eat together in the canteen. Everyone thought we were dating. Now you're saying we're not dating? Where do I put my face?" Hou Liwei took a step forward, suppressing his anger, which made Su Ya take a step back.
"Don't be like that, I never thought about these things. I consider us friends. Friends who can talk to each other. I'm sorry if I made you misunderstand. Let's keep our distance from now on, so they won't gossip anymore," Su Ya said hurriedly. But she knew in her heart that she had gradually distanced herself from Hou Liwei during this time.
"What about Xing Baohua? You also consider him a friend, but didn't you reject him?" Hou Liwei continued to ask.
"I, I, I don't know! Don't ask me that. I really don't know." As she spoke, Su Ya seemed about to cry; she didn't know what to do either. Her feelings were extremely conflicted.
“If we continue our relationship, we’ll soon have a house. It’s not because the factory is giving my dad face; it’s because I fought for it myself. We’ll have a home of our own?” Hou Liwei said, his tone slightly softening as he saw Su Ya’s almost tearful expression.
Su Ya gently shook her head. She knew this was Hou Liwei's indirect proposal to her. All she had to do was nod and wait for the house to be ready so they could get their marriage certificate.
She just didn't expect to reject two men within this month.
Perhaps in her mind, it's normal to have fun with friends, but she's not ready to date.
Suddenly, she felt very conflicted. She rejected the other man, yet a feeling of longing began to blossom in her heart, gradually taking root.
Hou Liwei was heartbroken when he saw that Su Ya was shaking her head, which meant she was rejecting him. He said, "If you want to be with him, I will not agree. I can't bear to lose face like that."
"Why?" Su Ya was stunned. Finding a partner should be something her family would object to! Why did Hou Liwei disagree?
"Are you stupid?!" he said, shoving Su Ya aside and walking away.
After signing the papers at the finance department, Xing Baohua received 150 yuan, feeling quite pleased with himself. He was glad they hadn't made any excuses to withhold it. It felt so good to spend money that wasn't his own.
I walked out of the factory office building and prepared to head towards Workshop 1.
I saw Su Ya squatting down and wiping her nose in the green belt in the corner of the office building.
"What's going on?" Xing Baohua wondered, as everything was fine when he left at noon.
He walked over and asked, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
Su Ya raised her head, tilted her neck to look at Xing Baohua, tears streaming down her face, a sight that made one feel a little sad.
Xing Baohua squatted down, trying to keep Su Ya from looking up, and said, "What exactly happened?"
Su Ya wiped her face with the back of her hand, then shook her head, as if she found it difficult to speak.
“Look at you, you’re just crying. I don’t know what’s wrong or how to comfort you. This is the factory office. There are a lot of people coming and going. If I’m with you and you just keep crying, people passing by might think I’m bullying you. Why don’t we go somewhere else to cry?” Xing Baohua looked around. He was genuinely worried.
"Did you ever like me?" Xing Baohua was taken aback by Su Ya's question. He froze.
"What do you mean by that? Stop crying and tell me the details. Does your crying have anything to do with my feelings for you?" Xing Baohua asked, recovering from her surprise.
"I'm just asking you, do you like me?" Su Ya asked again.
"Well, I might have been out of my mind before and said some hurtful things to you. I apologize. From the moment you rejected me, I realized there was a huge gap between us. You're a swan in the sky, and I'm a toad on the ground? I know very well that there's no way we can be together." Xing Baohua quickly explained, because these days, the crime of hooliganism is no joke.
Even if you're bad at dating, you can still manage to get into a relationship.
