After running for a long time, Su Wei finally stopped and let go of the panting Hanwen.

Hanwen took a long breath and asked, "Miss, what are you doing? I just wanted to tell you that Shanghai is so big, but you actually came to our company's project to drink coffee, and you were dragged away like you were hiding from the underworld." Come out. What's the matter? If you can't pay for the drinks, I can sponsor you."

Su Wei smiled and said, "You are really a savior, you don't see that, am I on a blind date?"

"Blind date? It's the 21st century and is there still a blind date?" Hanwen couldn't help laughing out loud.

"For older unmarried young women like us in the eyes of others, life has become another state. It can be said that life is endless, blind dates are endless, and the family is busy introducing them." Su Wei said and patted her chest. , It seems that the moment of patting gently, the breath is also straightened out.

"No, you are so much younger than me, I think you are very young, why would your family rush you?" Hanwen couldn't understand why this beautiful and talented girl in front of him had a blind date.

Su Wei shrugged helplessly and said: "You don't know, my family should be regarded as a native of Shanghai. The daughters of the old neighbors are all married, and they are all around 20 years old. So, of course, a girl in my 24 or 5 years old belongs to the In the ranks of the old girl. Although helpless, she is often given as a Chinese cabbage by her family, and she is forced to show her good side to others to increase the family's vanity. If the true feelings are revealed, they will definitely be frightened and come here. A strong man sent to his death will be reprimanded when he returns home. In the end, I decided to follow the fashion in China since ancient times—to carry on the blind date to the end! ”

"Haha." Han Wen couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, he is a literati, even the blind date is vividly described, there is no cloud in the sky, no rain, no matchmaker on the ground, no marriage. It seems that women are really troublesome, sympathy."

"By the way, how is Coco?" Su Wei asked with concern.

Hanwen sighed and described Coco's lonely commute to get off work every day and the quarrel with her mother-in-law. The two stood on the bustling street and sighed for Coco, because they still had things to do, so they said goodbye in a hurry.

When they were separated, Su Wei felt a little heavy. Recently, the magazine office is busy, and my boss forced me to go on a blind date, so I haven't had much contact with my friends. Could it be that Yawen really hit the mark? But no matter how you look at it, Coco's mother-in-law is also a well-educated person. From Hanwen's mouth, it seems that Coco's life after marriage is not smooth, maybe because this girl is used to being a young lady, and she is not used to working.

Saying goodbye to Hanwen, Su Wei dialed Coco's number, but she kept listening to the ring tone on the other side, but the phone was not answered.

Su Wei hung up the phone and was about to put the phone in her bag when Coco sent a message saying that she was at work and could not answer the phone.

Su Wei thought to herself: It seems that this little guy is still working hard, and everyone is going to strive to be a strong woman in the 21st century. Then put the phone in the bag with peace of mind, remembering that my ipod had some problems recently, and walked to the Apple store.

In the early morning, Yawen tiptoed to the bathroom, faced the mirror, and looked at his beautiful but haggard face. Take a deep breath and say to yourself silently: "Come on, 1, 2, 3."

Then he sat on the toilet. At this moment, his expression must be ridiculous. Taking a deep breath again, mustered up the courage, bowed his head.

Then he sighed, because he never saw the red that gave him hope.

Yawen looked at the shell mosaic on the wall in disappointment and sighed. I walked to the sink again and started to wash my face, but I couldn't wash off the dark circles under my eyes that had been aggravated by anxiety within a few days.

Perhaps because of timidity and cowardice, Yawen didn't even have the courage to go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test stick for herself. Today is Si'er's wedding treat. Yawen walked to the closet silently, picked out a piece of clothing absently, and put it on in front of the mirror. I don't know why, more and more people in Shanghai are holding weddings, either at an amazing speed, or for a year or a half. Si'er's wedding was incredibly fast, perhaps because Xiaoqiang's father's banquet hall happened to be vacant on one day. If you don't hurry up, you will have to wait another year. And the treats from my hometown will last for another three days.
