Lin Zhixia, who was still in a daze, was awakened by the call from Lin's mother and quickly picked up the call, "Mom, I'll be back soon."
Mother Lin's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's taking you so long? I've already prepared the food."
"Right now, right now, I didn't buy anything at the stationery store in the community, so I walked two more stops," Lin Zhixia said, quickly packing up the things she wanted to buy and going to check out, "Mom, I'll hang up first, and I'll pay."
"Then hurry up and stop inking."
"knew."
After shopping, Lin Zhixia trotted home. As soon as she entered the house, she hurried to the refrigerator.
Father Lin, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, looked up when he heard the voice and saw his daughter holding a bottle of water in her hand and pouring her head down. "Why is it like this? It's winter, so drink less ice water."
"My mother called and said that the meal was ready and asked me to go home quickly," Lin Zhixia panted halfway through her words, took another sip of water, and said, "I ran all the way back."
Mother Lin came out of the kitchen to bring food and happened to hear the conversation between their father and daughter. "There's no need to rush. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"I'll go right away."
When Lin Zhixia was washing her hands in the bathroom, Zhao Xu called her. She looked at the phone for a few seconds and muttered in her heart, didn't she say she was very busy these days? Why did she call me again...
Looking at the ringing mobile phone, Lin Zhixia randomly took out a few pieces of paper, wiped her hands, and answered the phone, "Hello."
"Zhixia, it's me, Zhao Xu."
"I know," Lin Zhixia turned around and leaned against the sink. She didn't know what to say for a moment. The receiver sounded noisy, so she guessed that he was outside.
Just when Lin Zhixia was still about to say something, she heard Zhao Xu say again: "Are you free tonight? Let's meet."
"Didn't you say you've been very busy recently?"
"Have a half day off this afternoon."
Lin Zhixia thought of Chen Lu, her high school classmate she met in the afternoon. After all, she still had a little expectation for the future, so she replied: "I'm free tonight, please send me your time and address."
Lin Zhixia had just hung up the phone and before she could walk out, Mother Lin came over and knocked on the bathroom door, "Didn't I ask you to wash your hands? Why are you so slow?"
"Right away," Lin Zhixia said and flushed the toilet.
Mother Lin walked to the dining table and sat down and complained to Father Lin: "This child was not like this before. What happened today."
Father Lin stood up and sat down at the dining table. He patted Mother Lin on the shoulder and said, "The child is already so old, what can happen?" Then he said, "I just heard someone on the phone. Don't worry too much."
Mother Lin, who was still about to say something, saw her daughter coming out, so she suppressed what she wanted to say and waved to Lin Zhixia, "Come here quickly, the dishes are almost cold."
Halfway through the meal, Lin Zhixia's WeChat ringtone rang. She picked up her phone and took a look. It was a message from Zhao Xu. It was at an internet celebrity hot pot restaurant on Chang'an Road at six o'clock tonight.
Mother Lin looked at her daughter, who had been staring at the phone, and asked, "Whose message has it been looking at for so long?"
As soon as Lin Zhixia raised her head, she met Lin's mother's confused eyes. She turned off her phone and put it on the dining table, then explained, "It's Zhao Xu. He wants to invite me to dinner tonight."
As soon as Lin Zhixia finished speaking, Lin's father, who was still eating, also put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at her, "Your mother told me, isn't that boy very busy recently? Why did he make an appointment with you tonight?"
Before Lin Zhixia could speak, Mother Lin asked again: "Then you were on the phone in the bathroom just now, and you were talking to him."
Lin Zhixia looked at her parents who were full of doubts and put down the chopsticks in her hands, "I beat him. He said he would have a half day off this afternoon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly feel Lin's mother's happy expression, and the smile on her mother's face couldn't be hidden even if she wanted to.
Sure enough, her mother did not forget to warn you: "Since I have contacted you, dress up when you go tonight."
Lin Zhixia helplessly said to Mother Lin: "Mom, I just went to have a meal, not to do anything else. Do I need to do this every time? I just need to be in my usual state."
As soon as Lin Zhixia finished speaking, he felt that his voice was a little loud and the atmosphere became a little subtle. At this time, Lin's father said: "I think Xia Xia is right, just dress as usual. If a man only looks at In appearance, it’s okay not to want a man like this.”
Lin Zhixia nodded lightly, looked at her silent mother, raised her hand and grabbed her arm, shook her gently a few times, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I didn't mean to be so loud. Don't be angry."
Mother Lin looked at her daughter who was acting coquettishly in front of her, and she was still worried after all. Although she wanted Zhixia to get married earlier, she still didn't want her to be hasty.
Mother Lin held Lin Zhixia's hand and smiled at her, "I know, then just listen to your dad." Then she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said to her and Father Lin: "Eat quickly, the food is cold. , after eating, take a nap at noon."
After finishing the meal, Lin Zhixia helped her mother put away the dishes, and then returned to her room. She sat on the balcony by the window, lazily basking in the sun. The winter afternoon was peaceful and quiet, and the sunlight was weak but bright. Warm, the clouds on the surface of the sky have become very sparse, like a warm breath filling the heart.
Maybe it was Lin Zhixia's words that affected Lin Zhixia. She was basking lazily in the sun, but her mind kept thinking about what she should wear tonight. After thinking for a while, she felt a little irritated, so she picked up her phone and called her best friend Yang Ruoan made a phone call.
"Baby, you missed me," Yang Ruoan's somewhat enchanting voice came as soon as the call was connected.
Lin Zhixia felt uncomfortable hearing this, "Can you be normal? I have something to do with you."
"All ears."
Lin Zhixia coyly recounted the general story, and then asked slowly: "What do you think I should wear tonight? This is our first official date after all."
After hearing this, Yang Ruo'an said excitedly: "Okay, Lin Zhixia, I found a boyfriend so quickly, not bad, not bad, worthy of praise."
"Can you tell me the main point?"
Lin Zhixia felt helpless listening to her best friend's teasing. She knew that Yang Ruo'an was also happy for her and that she could make up her mind to move on from the past.
"You should wear the skirt we bought last time when we went shopping. It can perfectly show off your figure. You will definitely win him over tonight," Yang Ruo'an was talking enthusiastically when Lin Zhixia suddenly shouted. break.
"Yang Ruo'an, can you be serious? I'll tell you the truth."
"What I said is true, honey, listen to me and wear that skirt tonight," Yang Ruo'an said and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Lin Zhixia looked at the hung up phone and cursed secretly, "Yang Ruo'an, wait, don't ask me for anything."
Lin Zhixia rubbed her hair irritably, got up and went back to bed to take a nap, but she was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Yang Ruoan's words were in her mind, "I will definitely win tonight." he."
In fact, the dark green skirt they bought for her last time they went shopping was not very revealing, but it was very slim-fitting and showed off her figure. As soon as she came out of the fitting room, Yang Ruoan teased her: "Tsk tsk tsk, the man who can marry you in the future will be lucky."
