Chapter 7 He is really boring
After Xu Jialan left the restaurant, he went home.
She bought a cup of iced milk tea on the way.
After getting out of the parking lot, she walked towards the elevator in a daze, holding a milk tea in her hand.
The cool, slightly sweet milk tea dilutes the numbness and spiciness in your mouth.
Entering the elevator, Xu Jialan pressed the button for the fifteenth floor.
She chewed the pearls slowly, and the words Shen Xichuan said to her at the door of the restaurant seemed to still ring in her ears.
Shen Xichuan asked her if she wanted to date or marry him?
Even when he returned home and sat on the sofa, Xu Jialan still found it incredible.
How could Shen Xichuan ask such a question to her?
She took a sip of her iced milk tea, which came with a few pearls.
At this moment, the cell phone rang.
Xu Jialan turned his eyes and picked up his phone.
It was a message from An Yuening.
[Is the blind date over? How did you feel?]
Xu Jialan bit the pearl and typed a reply, "Both the process and the ending were quite shocking."
An Yuening replied immediately, "Holy crap? How can you be so shocked?"
Xu Jialan typed slowly, "The sister's son that my master's wife mentioned is actually Shen Xichuan."
“???”
“Shen Xichuan? Isn’t this your former secret crush?”
It can be seen that An Yuening was shocked.
"Yes, and he was the one who rescued me from the fire a few days ago." Xu Jialan replied.
"Fuck it! Xu Jialan, you can do it!"
An Yuening was very curious, "What about now? How did he react after you two went on a blind date together?"
Xu Jialan was silent for a moment, swallowed the milk tea in his mouth, and replied, "He asked me if I wanted to marry him."
After the message was sent, there was silence for a few seconds.
Then the phone rang.
Xu Jialan had no choice but to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Promise."
An Yuening's impulsive voice came, "Did you agree?"
Xu Jialan lowered his head and paused, "No."
An Yuening was stunned. "Why? That's Shen Xichuan. He asked you if you wanted to marry him, and you could resist saying no?"
"Ningning."
"Um?"
Xu Jialan pursed his lips and asked, "Do you think I should agree?"
Hearing this, An Yuening was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Lanlan, he's the one you've liked for so many years, don't you want to agree?"
Xu Jialan fell silent.
How could I not want to agree?
She dreamed of agreeing to it.
But, can she really do it?
Be Mrs. Shen.
Does he...like her?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, An Yuening thought for a moment before saying, "Does he want you to give an answer right away?"
"No, he said, give me some time to think it over." Xu Jialan said.
"Then we won't be in a hurry." An Yuening said, "You've just reunited after a long time. Take this time to spend some quality time together. You haven't seen each other since you graduated from high school, right?"
They are college classmates and roommates.
After that we became good friends.
Only then did An Yuening know the secret that Xu Jialan had hidden in his heart for a long time.
Xu Jialan hummed, "Last time at the fire scene, it was the first time we met after the reunion."
"Have you added each other's contact information?" An Yuening asked.
"add."
An Yuening was relieved. "Then you don't have to make a decision so quickly. Take this time to think it over carefully and figure out whether you can be with him."
Sometimes, liking someone and being able to marry the person you love are both very lucky things.
But not all love will have a happy ending.
"Lanlan, you will definitely be happy." An Yuening said.
Xu Jialan was startled, "Ningning."
"Because you're worth it."
An Yuening knew what Xu Jialan was worried about.
"Thank you, Ningning." Xu Jialan held the phone tightly and said in a low voice.
Thank you for always being by my side.
It gave me warmth during those days without light.
An Yuening smiled and said, "We are already so close, do we still need to be so polite?"
“However, when you two are really together, you must take me to meet the legendary Shen Xichuan. I also want to meet the academic god who can make someone as smart as you come in second place.”
Xu Jialan smiled and said, "Okay, I will."
"Okay, let's stop talking. I'm going into the lab. In any case, if there's any progress between you, you must tell me." An Yuening's hurried voice came.
"Okay, got it."
Not long after hanging up the phone, Xu Jialan received a call from Mrs. Liang.
Also asking about the blind date situation.
Xu Jialan didn't say much, just said that they got along pretty well and the other party was also very nice.
Mrs. Liang just hoped that she could make more friends outside of work, so she naturally wouldn't ask for too many details.
After seeing that they added their contact information, I felt a lot more relieved.
After chatting for a few minutes, he hung up the phone.
Although it was the weekend, Xu Jialan was not idle. He took out his notebook and looked at the information of the new project.
By the way, investigate companies in Nancheng that have the opportunity to invest in medical projects.
…
The other side.
Shen Xichuan just returned to the apartment.
Then Mrs. Shen called.
He took a look, answered the call, and turned on the speakerphone.
As soon as the call was connected, Mrs. Shen spoke directly, “Are you satisfied with today’s blind date?”
Shen Xichuan walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke, opened it, and took a few sips.
Then he answered slowly.
"Well, I'm quite satisfied."
Mrs. Shen was silent for a few seconds, “You are not lying to me?”
She paused, "Xiaochuan, if you told Mom you were satisfied with that girl because you didn't want to go on a blind date, there's no need for that. As long as you don't get married..."
Shen Xichuan held the Coke can in one hand, and the mist from the can wet his fingertips.
He casually placed his other hand on the center island and said in a flat tone, "As long as I don't get married, you will continue to arrange blind dates for me, right?"
Mrs. Shen didn’t speak.
Shen Xichuan took a sip of Coke, “I didn’t lie to you.”
After he finished speaking, he said one more sentence, which completely blocked what Mrs. Shen was about to say next.
"She and I were high school classmates."
Madam Shen’s eyes widened slightly, and she opened her mouth several times before she found her voice, “Why didn’t your brother tell me?”
Shen Xichuan chuckled, "What? Do you still think I'm lying to you?"
Mrs. Shen swallowed and coughed lightly, "Well, Xiaochuan, since you already have someone you like, you should hurry up and get married. Otherwise, after knowing you for a long time, the girl will think you are too boring and no longer want to marry you. What should you do then?"
Shen Xichuan frowned, "I'm boring? How am I boring?"
"What's so interesting about you? If you were interesting, why would you be single for so many years?"
Mrs. Shen mercilessly complained about her own son.
Shen Xichuan: “…”
"Okay, Mom won't arrange any more blind dates for you. Your next task is to treat my future daughter-in-law well and get married as soon as possible, okay?"
After that, Mrs. Shen hung up the phone.
Shen Xichuan pinched his eyebrows, thinking about what Madam Shen had just said.
Is he... really boring?
