Deluge - Chapter 13

[Chapter Thirteen]

If you want to ask, what’s so good about falling in love?

Xu Juan didn’t know how others would answer. His answer was: It feels good to be needed and depended on.

Love is a special social relationship, different from family and friendship, it has exclusivity, and this natural exclusivity gives a spiritual sense of transcendence: I am special and unique, and I am needed by my lover , no one can meet his needs but me.

This is what Xu Juan is most obsessed with.

In his opinion, there are no 100% optimistic and free people in this world. There are only two kinds of people who can be infinitely close to optimism: First, the ignorant have no worries. Second, people who see through themselves and accept themselves.

He thinks he is the latter.

But he has not fully accepted himself. Human is an animal who is good at finding unpleasantness for himself, commonly known as “dissatisfied”. Even if he is living well now, he will feel “good” and become mediocre after getting used to it. And boring, people always prefer better.

Xu Juan is a typical example.

Sometimes he spends the night fooling around in a nightclub. After the neon lights dissipate, he walks home against the morning sun. On the way, he sees the vibrant world, and occasionally a trace of self-doubt emerges: Compared with them, I seem to be meaningless.

This kind of emotion is not too much, but every time it comes up, it makes him uncomfortable, and there is a loneliness that is disconnected from society in a trance.

But if at this time, his little lover suddenly called or sent WeChat, and acted like a spoiled child: “Brother, why didn’t you come last night? Let people wait for a night”, he will immediately return to normal, All three souls and seven souls have returned to their positions, and they have integrated into the society in front of them.

So, how good is it to fall in love.

Love can fill his emptiness and loneliness, let him communicate with the world in a friendly way, and enjoy the joy of life forever.

Will it be unpleasant? Others will have it, but Xu Juan will not.

It is true that two people have been together for a long time, and once the love period is over, various problems follow one after another, which is in line with the normal development law of things.

If you also consider getting married, buying a house and having children, there will be more problems, so Xu Juan cut off all the next steps, and he only needs to be in love.

This must not be just his own idea. Unfortunately, most people are not as lucky as him. They are trapped in economic level or their own hardware conditions, as well as emotional indecision, and they cannot do such difficult things.

Therefore, Xu Juan cherished everything he had and did his best to be a scumbag.

After all, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, and he has done a lot of wicked things. If he doesn’t enjoy it now, he is not sure what he will be reincarnated into in the next life.

Just when he was thinking about whether he would become a pig in the next life and be made into a ham sausage, the phone suddenly rang.

It was Pei Yu’s phone number.

“Mr. Pei, good morning.” Xu Juan greeted energetically.

“Good morning.” Pei Yu was very quiet, there was the sound of cups and saucers being tapped lightly, as if he was having breakfast, he said to Xu Juan, “I suddenly remembered something, that painting fell into your house yesterday, and I forgot to take it. ”

Oh, what do I have to do, I’ll send it to you another day.” Xu Juan smiled softly and lowered his voice, “Is this the only thing? I thought you called early in the morning, It’s because he missed me, so it wasn’t.”

“…”

Pei Yu didn’t say a word, and Xu Juan didn’t speak, just waiting for him to respond.

But expecting Pei Yu to flirt with him skillfully and freely is probably a bit difficult. Pei Yu was stuck for a long time, and he might have heard the sound of a car beside him: “What are you doing? Going out so early?”

Xu Juan didn’t say that he was too tired after playing all night last night and didn’t want to drive home, and was walking to the subway station. Woolen cloth. He made up and said: “I have something to do today, I’ll go to the company early.” Then he asked Pei Yu, “What are you busy with today? Are you free to have dinner together at night?”

Pei Yu said: “I’m not free, I have something to do.”

“Why do you say this every day? You have to make an excuse for rejecting me, Mr. Pei.”

“…It’s not an excuse.” Pei Yu hesitated for a while, “It’s a bit of an entertainment.”

The radar in Xu Juan’s mind suddenly flashed: “Entertainment?”

What kind of entertainment can a university teacher who is on summer vacation get to? Pei Yu is not the kind of person who loves to be sociable. Xu Juan smiled and joked with him: “Who are you socializing with, aren’t you going to go on a blind date, Teacher Pei?”

Unexpectedly, he was hit by it.

Pei Yu may have a guilty conscience, and his tone is hesitant: “My aunt introduced it, so it’s not easy to refuse.”

“Why not? You just said that you are not in a hurry to get married, and you don’t want to find a partner?” Xu Juan was a little unhappy.

Pei Yu was silent for a while, before saying, “My aunt treated me very well. My father passed away when I was in elementary school, and my mother was not very healthy. It was my aunt’s family who took care of us. I…”

Xu Juan understood , this is no ordinary relative, his aunt is a bit of a benefactor to him.

Thinking that his uncle was an old-fashioned writer He Mingshu, it is not difficult to understand that Pei Yu was brought up with such a character.

“Okay then.” Xu Juan said aggrievedly with a pinch of tone, “But we’re all together now, so why don’t you go on a blind date? What should I do if you and someone else’s girl meet each other’s eyes? You Do you want to listen to your aunt’s words and marry her?”

“How is that possible?” Pei Yu said, “I’m just going to socialize, I’ll just push it back, and I didn’t say I want to develop a relationship with her.”

“Really? I don’t. Don’t worry. Unless you promise me, you won’t be able to look at her too much, not even one more glance.”

“…”

Xu Juan is like a scumbag, he has never been like this before, and others are him, but when dealing with a wood like Pei Yu Mu Nao’s innocent little flower, when he found out that when he acted, Pei Yu could always give him a particularly funny reaction.

Sure enough, Pei Yu felt unwell again, and he could feel Pei Yu’s shyness and embarrassment across the phone.

“Why should I look at her more!” Pei Yu said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not that kind of person! What do you think!

” Xu Juan said, “Then may I ask Mr. Pei, what time do you go to entertain that girl? Can I ask?”

Pei Yu said frankly: “I’ll go later, my uncle invited some insiders, she will Come with her father, everyone will have a meal at noon, there will be a tea party in the afternoon, and dinner will probably be at my uncle’s house.”

“It turns out that you two are not alone.” Xu Juan nodded, thinking that the art circle really knows how to play tricks. After rounding the corners, they made up a justifiable game, just to match the two juniors, but the object is so subtle, is it interesting?

Pei Yu said: “I’m going to change clothes and go out and hang up.”

“Wait!” Xu Juan called to him, “I want to go with you, otherwise I’ll be at home alone, and the thought of you going out on a blind date makes me uncomfortable. ”

Pei Yu: “…”

“Tell me the address, I’ll wait for you outside, okay? You meet them, find an excuse early, and then we’ll go on a date, I’ll take you to play, sure It’s much more interesting than that old antique tea party, okay? — okay, Mr. Pei?”

“…”

Xu Juan coaxed Pei Yu to the point of being shaken, and he actually gave him the address, saying it would depend on the situation , then wechat contact.

As soon as the phone hung up, Xu Juan took the subway home.

He wasn’t in a hurry at all. The first thing to do when he got home was to take a shower. Playboy is a high-tech industry, and one must have professionalism.

Xu Juan took off his clothes that had a strong smell of cigarettes, alcohol, fat and powder, and went into the bathroom to wash them thoroughly. Then, he carefully selected them in front of the closet for a while, and finally gave up the bells and whistles. Dressed up, grabbed a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt, and went out wearing sneakers.

He found that since he met Pei Yu, he had gone farther and farther on the road of pretending to be tender.

In front of Li Mengzhou and others, he is the unattainable character. Not to mention that he is a domineering president every day.

But Pei Yu is different. If he throws money in a suit and leather shoes in front of Pei Yu, Pei Yu will definitely not like him.

Hey, he is too dedicated.

Xu Juan yawned, picked up the car keys and went out.

This morning, his car was brought back by someone else, and now he got into the driver’s seat by himself. As soon as he sat down, he was sleepy.

He regretted a little, shouldn’t sacrifice so much to coax Pei Yu, is the air conditioner not cool enough or the bed not soft enough? He insisted on running downstairs to Pei Yu’s door. But when he thought of Pei Yu having a blind date inside, he was really upset.

There were a lot of people next to his pillow, and whoever dared to treat him like this would have been kicked by him long ago.

He is so generous to Pei Yu now, it must be because he hasn’t slept with Pei Yu yet, and men are always extra patient before they go to bed.

With his patience, Xu Juan drove the car to the place.

Pei Yu’s aunt’s house is in the west of the city. The environment in this area is very good. Xu Juan couldn’t enter the community, so he found a parking space outside. As soon as the car turned off, he leaned on the seat and sent a WeChat message to Pei Yu: “I’m at the door, have you started? Have you seen her? Come out as soon as you see it, I’ll wait for you.”

After the message was sent, Pei Yu replied, “Well.

” May leave so early.

Xu Juan estimated a time, put down the phone, put down the seat, and decided to lie down and sleep for a while.

As a result, he slept darkly and didn’t wake up in the afternoon.

Before ten o’clock, Pei Yu sent him a message and asked him if he was in a hurry. At about twelve o’clock, he asked him again, “Why didn’t you reply, have you left, Xu Juan?”

Wechat kept shaking, but Xu Juan didn’t hear anything.

This is Pei Yu’s first blind date.

The girl’s surname is Huang, her parents are both Kochi, and she is good-looking, but when it comes to her personality, everyone has reservations about her personality, and no one can see what the other person is like.

Besides, Pei Yu didn’t even bother to look at it.

He kept his phone in his hands, and took the opportunity to go to the bathroom after lunch to call Xu Juan, but Xu Juan didn’t answer.

He didn’t know what happened to Xu Juan, and he clearly said that he was worried about him and wanted to accompany him, but suddenly he disappeared. Pei Yu was hung up and down, and he was absent-minded all day. Because he was too perfunctory, he made the woman a little embarrassed in front of a group of elders, his aunt’s face was not very good, and his plan to sneak out in advance was in vain.

Stayed until the end of dinner, it was getting dark, Pei Yu finally sent the elders away and regained his freedom.

When he came out, Xu Juan had just woken up, but he was still hungry.

From nine o’clock in the morning to seven o’clock in the evening, Xu Juan felt that he slept like a pig. Maybe he would be made into ham in his next life. At this moment, Pei Yu’s Nth phone call came in.

“Hello.” Xu Juan let out a long yawn.

“Where are you?” Pei Yu’s voice was deep, with restrained anxiety.

Xu Juan didn’t hear it: “It’s outside the door, what’s the matter, you haven’t come out yet? – Hey Mr. Pei, you won’t really meet that girl, will you? Forgot me?”

“…” Pei Yu was silent for two seconds, “Where? I came out, but I didn’t see you.”

“At the gate of the community, go to the left.”

Xu Juan raised the seat, looked out the car window, and saw Pei Yu holding the phone at a glance. He honked the horn, and Pei Yu walked towards him, opened the door, and sat beside him.

“I called you several times.” Pei Yu said, “I thought you were gone.”

Xu Juan patted his face, his posture was not very good just now, and there were marks on his face. He was a little tired, tired and hungry, so he leaned on the co-pilot on purpose, lay on Pei Yu and said, “How could I leave? I waited for you for a day, I didn’t eat anything, you’re fine, I’ve eaten Two meals, and the little girl to accompany you.”

“What nonsense are you talking about.” Pei Yu paused, “She… looks average, and your handwriting is not as good as yours.”

Xu Juan was slightly startled, she didn’t expect Pei Yu . Yu would say so. But he got cheap and behaved well, so he deliberately raised the bar: “Yo, if she looks better than me and writes better than me, you two will be good?”

“…” Pei Yu was annoyed, “Are you listening ? Don’t understand human language?”

Xu Juan laughed: “Because I’m starving, I want to eat, I haven’t eaten all day, can you cook? Pei Yu, you can cook it for me.”

Pei Yu agreed.

Xu Juan said again: “Okay, let’s go to your house, I’m going to sleep at your house tonight.”

Pei Yu was stunned when he heard this, turned his face away embarrassedly, and whispered, “We’ve just started, not too much. Okay.”

“What happened at the beginning?” Xu Juan leaned over to kiss him in the half-dark light, and said vaguely, “It’s just sleeping, where did you think of going?”

Pei Yu’s face turned even redder.
