Xu Zhiyi looked at the time. It was almost half past five. She had to go back to the dormitory and tidy up. She made an appointment with Octavia at six o'clock and she didn't want to be late.
Go back and take a shower, spend ten minutes putting on makeup and changing clothes. When she walks out of the dormitory, it's just six o'clock.
Looking up, she saw Octavia.
He was waiting beside the dormitory building, under a sycamore tree.
The usual white clothes and black pants.
However, this time the white clothes were made of silk, loose and elegant, making the whole person chic and uninhibited.
He has a slender figure, a handsome face, and an outstanding temperament. He perfectly portrays a realistic picture of a stranger who is like jade, and a son who is unparalleled in the world.
Xu Zhiyi stared at him and felt that his heartbeat seemed to miss half a beat.
No, her painting still failed to depict him, and it lacked some warmth.
While she was in a daze, a pretty girl came up to talk to Octavia.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't hear what they were saying, but saw Octavia waving to the girl in front of her, gesturing for her to come over.
She walked over confused.
Xu Zhiyi wore a white slim-fitting knee-length dress with a small bateau collar and black open-top high heels. She is 166cm tall and wears size 36 shoes. The long skirt makes her look even more refined.
The little girl under the sycamore tree, with her graceful and elegant figure, disturbs people's hearts.
Octavia looked at her and raised the corners of his mouth. He naturally moved to her side, stood side by side with her, and stared at her with lowered eyes.
The two of them stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They were really eye-catching. One was handsome and the other was delicate. They were a perfect match.
The beautiful girl understood everything when she saw it, and she laughed at herself: "It seems that the handsome guy has a master. Forgive me for being rude, then I won't disturb you two. I wish you happiness."
The girl left neatly.
Xu Zhiyi immediately understood what was going on and secretly complained about Octavia's attractive physique.
She unconsciously looked at Octavia with a teasing look in her eyes.
Octavia immediately looked back, showed a gentle smile, raised his hand slightly, and showed her the way in a gentlemanly manner, "Zhiyi, my car is over there."
After the rain, the campus smells of fresh grass, comfortable and refreshing.
Xu Zhiyi and Octavia walked side by side on the tree-lined path of the campus, receiving the envious looks of passers-by, with joyful smiles on their faces.
Octavia drove a black car and did not force her to sit in the passenger seat.
She sat in the back seat and waited for the car to start before carefully looking at everything in the car.
There is a lot of space inside, and the interior is made of pure wood and leather, which looks heavy and heavy.
Xu Zhiyi didn't know much about cars and couldn't tell what brand this car was. He only knew that it should be a good car.
Octavia just concentrated on driving and did not talk to Xu Zhiyi.
The atmosphere is quiet and natural.
The place to eat is not far from Hangzhou Normal University. It is a very elegant Chinese restaurant.
The private room where they sat was just big enough for three or four people. The two of them sat across from each other. It was neither crowded nor spacious, and it felt quite comfortable.
The waiter brought the menu and handed it to Mingrui. He asked, "Zhiyi, is there anything you want to eat? There is a chef here who makes good northern cuisine."
Xu Zhiyi said casually: "No matter how good it is, it can't taste like northern pasta. Senior, just watch and order. I'm not familiar with this and don't know what to order."
Octavia didn't let her go anymore and quickly ordered four dishes.
They were the only two people left in the private room, and Xu Zhiyi was waiting for Octavia to ask her.
However, until the dishes were served, Mingrui didn't mention anything about them. He just chatted with her about the customs and customs of Hangzhou, and seemed to be quite familiar with this city.
On the contrary, Xu Zhiyi was a little impatient. Seeing that he wouldn't mention it, he simply said it himself.
After the waiter served the last dish, Xu Zhiyi said: "Senior, about you and me..."
"Shh..." Mingrui pressed her lips with her right index finger and stared at her, "Zhiyi, let's talk about it after dinner. Now just enjoy the food. Things other than food should not affect the food. The gain is not worth the loss."
Xu Zhiyi thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth.
As soon as this is said, everyone will be happy, and the rest of the meal will be enjoyable.
If one party is not satisfied, then the meal will be tasteless.
We have to talk about things anyway, so why not talk about it after dinner, at least without delaying enjoying the food.
After thinking about this, Xu Zhiyi simply put it aside and ate in peace.
The four dishes that Mingrui ordered generally have a northern taste and are combined with Hangzhou characteristics. The two of them commented while eating.
Both of them were from Aicheng, had similar tastes, and had similar feelings about food. The atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, and Xu Zhiyi talked more.
After happily finishing the meal, we naturally talked about the two of them.
This time, Xu Zhiyi was more proactive and got straight to the point.
"Senior, with all due respect, apart from the fact that we are a good match in appearance, we are seriously imbalanced in other aspects. I'm afraid such two people are not suitable for marriage."
Octavia seemed to expect that she would say this, and was not surprised at all by her words, "Zhiyi, my understanding is slightly different from yours. In fact, except for the large income gap, we are evenly matched in other aspects."
Xu Zhiyi picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, gave him a perfunctory look, stared at the floating tea leaves in the teacup, and remained silent.
Octavia's words did not resonate with her.
Octavia leaned forward a little to get closer to Xu Zhiyi, and his words were sincere.
"Zhiyi, in terms of academic qualifications, you are studying for a master's degree, and I am an undergraduate. Even if I graduate from Tsinghua University, I still have a bachelor's degree. In terms of academic qualifications, I am a little lower than you, but I don't think this will affect our communication. Da Not to the point of imbalance.”
Xu Zhiyi was completely stunned.
There was nothing wrong with his logic, so why did the conclusion shock her.
She heard it clearly.
He said he was a little worse than her.
Um?
Well……
"In terms of family background, your family has three generations living together, and so does mine. However, I am an only child and have no brothers and sisters, and you have one more brother than me. In this regard, I am a little worse than you, but please understand me. My parents are both civil servants, and they were still under family planning when I was born. The policy at that time only allowed them to have one child, so this is force majeure, so I ask for exemption."
Xu Zhiyi opened his mouth slightly, his eyes straightened, unable to utter a single word: "You..."
That's not wrong, every word is true.
"According to my observation, there is no problem with your character. I believe in my own vision and intuition. The children educated by Teacher Xu will not be bad. Zhiyi, you said that there is a serious imbalance between us. According to your observation, , do you think there is something wrong with my character?"
Octavia asked sincerely.
Xu Zhiyi was flustered by his question and instinctively waved her hand, "No, no, you are my father's favorite disciple, and your character is not bad."
Character can only be revealed in future interactions. Now besides looking at details and relying on feelings, there is really no other good way.
Judging from the feelings and details of getting along with him, Octavia's character should not be bad.
Octavia suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes, if you have doubts, you can read the comments that Teacher Xu gave me in high school. He said that I have a strong sense of responsibility. I have maintained this advantage to this day."
Hua Yue also told her in the mediation room of the police station that Octavia had a strong sense of responsibility.
Hua Yue also said that he is a person who is very good at communicating with his elders and asked her not to worry about the elders in his family.
"Finally, let's talk about the income gap between you and me. I personally believe that high income should not be discriminated against, which will become a disadvantage for me in choosing a mate. As a man, the education I received since I was a child is to work hard and have a successful career. Make money to support the family.”
"Now, I have the ability to make more money and provide better living security for my family. This should be a plus for me, not a reason for rejection."
"Zhiyi, do you think it's appropriate for me to marry a woman who graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University and whose income is similar to mine?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded honestly.
This is what she thought from beginning to end.
