(nineteen)
When Chen Xie came, the food on our table was full. In order to wait for the few people on her table to not move their chopsticks, after chatting for less than ten minutes, Chen Xie tied a thin scarf, wore a camel coat and left with a smile Come over: "I also said that we will have dinner together next time. I don't know how long you will stay here." She first talked to Shu Qin, then glanced at Yu Haiqiao, and was stunned, "Why are you here too?" This?"
Because I sat next to Shuqin, I also put my bowl and chopsticks here, so strictly speaking, the seat at Yu Haiqiao is still empty. Yu Haiqiao explained: "I and their junior high school classmates .”
Chen Xie nodded: "Then you move inside."
Yu Haiqiao obediently picked up his bowl and chopsticks and sat in the seat inside. He happened to be facing me, and he glanced at me.
Chen Xie sat down and untied his scarf, took off his overcoat and handed it to Yu Haiqiao very naturally: "There is room for you to put down your clothes, thank you."
Yu Haiqiao still obediently took the things and put them beside him. I touched my chin opposite him. Yu Haiqiao glanced at me and asked me: "Do you want to put your bag here too?" ?”
I smiled and replied to him very politely: "Thank you, no need."
Yu Haiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly, Chen Xie who was sitting next to him looked over, she stared at me for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Shi Ran! Long time no see."
I said, "Yeah, long time no see. After hearing Shuqin say that you are friends with her, I still feel that this world is too small."
She smiled: "Yeah, this world is too small, you are still classmates in junior high school." She sighed and praised my nails like Shu Qin, "Your nails are so beautiful, where did you do them, I want them too make one."
I said, "Add me on WeChat later, and I'll send you the address. I have a membership card and I can get a discount."
Chen Xie smiled and said, "That's great."
The dog Yu Haiqiao took a look at my nails, and said with a puzzled face: "Are these nails pretty? It's inconvenient to do anything."
Chen Xie turned his head and pushed him with his elbow: "Why are you still such a straight man? Of course you look good, but you don't know how to appreciate it."
Yu Haiqiao pouted, but didn't even refute.
I stared at Yu Haiqiao for a while, I really wanted to give him the middle finger, trash, but I held back in public.
**
When everyone started to move their chopsticks, Yang Xiongwei began to ask Yu Haiqiao and Chen Xie: "Have you two been in touch?"
Chen Xie said: "Yes, we have always been in touch. When I was studying in China, I would have dinner with him every year when I went home for the New Year. After going to France for a few years, I haven't seen him for a few years. I just came back a while ago. I asked him out for several meals, but this man is so busy that it’s hard to make an appointment.”
Yang Xiongwei hehe: "I heard from Shuqin that you won't leave when you come back, right?" He even winked at Yu Haiqiao, who is actually here as a wingman.
Chen Xie said: "That's right, if you don't leave, it's better to stay at home~"
Yang Xiongwei continued to be a wingman: "The family is really good, and the family is also very good. Yu Haiqiao has been in a blank period recently, right?"
I glanced at Shuqin and couldn't help biting her ear: "Your husband likes to be a matchmaker?"
Before Shu Qin could speak, Yu Haiqiao suddenly sat across from me and asked me with a smile: "What are you two talking about secretly behind our backs?"
Chen Xie had a good chat with Yang Xiongwei at first, but when they heard that they both turned their eyes, Shu Qin said gently: "It's nothing, you should know about girls' topics, really." After she finished speaking, she looked at me. He gave me a very helpless look with the expression "I also think my husband is long-winded".
I pursed my lips, and Yang Xiongwei immediately brought the topic back to me, speaking a little cautiously: "Is Shi Ran's relationship also in a blank period?"
I explained: "No, no, I was joking with you last time."
After speaking, I saw Yu Haiqiao's back straightened out of the corner of his eyes, and then he asked me in a very polite and polite way: "Didn't Shi Ran get married a few years ago?"
Chen Xie: "Really, who did you marry, and whoever married you is so blessed."
I first glanced at Yu Haiqiao, then at Chen Xie next to him: "Yes, my husband and I have an open marriage relationship. When we got married, we agreed to ignore each other. If we want to end the relationship with If other people are together, just mention it directly."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
My words might be a bit inappropriate, everyone was silent for a second, Shuqin smoothed things over: "Yes, I also know that there is such a marriage relationship, but I don't have any friends around me, can I ask you alone next time?"
I said of course I can.
Chen Xie said: "I think this relationship is very good, there is no bondage and very free, because I like being together, if I don't like it, I want to be with someone else."
I said, "Yeah, that's why I'm getting ready for a divorce recently."
As a person who never let the dinner table stand cold, I successfully let the dinner table stand cold for a while this time. I deeply feel that the more experience in life, the better. Life can be more colorful if you have to experience everything.
Yang Xiongwei changed the topic very quickly after I finished expressing my views on marriage, from the embarrassing incidents committed in junior high school to life in high school, and there are also small clips of him and his wife falling in love with each other.
Yu Haiqiao was sitting across from me. He was leaning against the back of the sofa with his arms folded, listening to someone's speech with no expression on his face.
Yu Haiqiao is actually not very angry in front of me. He has never had a straight face, and he starts to talk before he can say a few words. The only time I got a little bit angry is when I hit his car. , scolded me indiscriminately, but after a few minutes, he calmed down and flirted with me. At this moment, he sat across from me with his chest crossed expressionlessly, looking a little unhappy.
I don't know what he is unhappy about, and I don't bother to talk to him.
Yang Xiongwei chatted and chatted and played his matchmaker qualities and began to match Yu Haiqiao and Chen Xie Lalang. Shuqin smiled and asked him to say a few words, he pushed his glasses and said innocently "Oh" One sound.
Only now did Yu Haiqiao speak out slowly: "I'm married, Chen Xie knows."
Chen Xie said "ah", she was still eating, and said while eating: "Yes, I know he got married three years ago, but he didn't tell me who his wife is, and I still thought he lied to me for money." Well, I haven’t seen his wife until now.”
Yang Xiongwei also said "ah": "Last time you said in the group..."
The corner of Yu Haiqiao's mouth twitched: "No, I was joking."
Yang Xiongwei hesitated for a while, then Shu Qin said straight to the point: "Your wife won't just choose Shi Ran?" After she finished speaking, her eyes slowly shifted to me.
"..." I was eating ribs, very innocent.
Yang Xiongwei: "Fuck, you two are kidding me?!"
Sitting there, Chen Xie was also stunned for a while, she glanced at me and then at Yu Haiqiao, feeling a little dazed.
"..." I suddenly felt that I was so bored, and Yang Xiongwei didn't know me well. Could he not take it seriously when I joked with him, I brushed my hair that had just been shortened and coughed, "I'm not."
Yu Haiqiao glanced at me.
Yang Xiongwei was still aggrieved: "You two are cursing each other to death, how much hatred and resentment? Why are you still the same as when you were in junior high school!" He seemed to have no understanding of the relationship between me and Yu Haiqiao. There is a kind of confusion of "you don't like to marry each other, use the money from taking a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau to buy lottery tickets and become millionaires if you win the lottery".
Of course, the long string of words in the middle was made up by myself, mainly because I also thought so in my heart, because the Civil Affairs Bureau does not work on weekends, and I was still at work and hired a fake taxi for a few hours to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to take a taxi. For the marriage certificate, the taxi meter shows 18 yuan and 20 cents. The driver charged me 19 yuan. After printing the marriage certificate, Yu Haiqiao babbled in the car and told me a long list of dogs that would jump on it. Bit his speech, then drove back to the company to work by myself, and then I took a taxi back to my company to work, the fare back was two yuan more expensive because it was blocked at the red light, and I spent a total of 39 yuan to get this marriage certificate.
What's wrong with spending this money? Drinking milk tea can also increase your sense of happiness and gain two catties of meat.
Yu Haiqiao didn't look at me, and began to explain with a very gentle expression on his face: "No, we were joking. We have been joking like this all the time, but I didn't expect to bring you into it."
Chen Xie was sitting next to him, maybe because he didn't know much about "cursing each other to death", so he didn't get involved in this topic: "Why didn't you tell us that you married Shi Ran!" She finished complaining and looked at Yu Haiqiao I pointed at Yu Haiqiao, "This man is too unreliable. He is hiding his marriage with you. I transferred thousands of yuan to him when he got married, and said he wanted to see it." It's inexplicable that you don't show me the wedding photos, whether you live or die."
I also explained gently: "We didn't take wedding photos when we got married, so I don't want to waste time."
Chen Xie snorted, and said, "His circle of friends is all about work. I asked him why he didn't share his happiness when he got married. He didn't talk to me, really."
I expressed: "Huh? Do you all have to post on your Moments when you're dating or getting married? What a bother to delete all of them if you break up or get divorced."
Yu Haiqiao sat across from me and raised his eyelids to look at me. Then I saw him take out his mobile phone from his pocket as if he wanted to contact someone for something. He poked the screen of the mobile phone with his finger, and the mobile phone in my bag After a shock, I glanced at Yu Haiqiao, and Yu Haiqiao put the phone back in his pocket.
Yu Haiqiao didn't look at me anymore, he turned to talk to Yang Xiongwei: "I heard from Shi Ran that you changed your name now?"
Yang Xiongwei yelled twice, a little distressed: "I want to change my name again, but it's not convenient to work."
Yu Haiqiao let out a muffled laugh.
Chen Xie asked me enthusiastically: "You two grew up together, I'm so envious, no wonder you can accept an open marriage relationship, so what is your current relationship status like?"
I said slowly: "It's just that I fell in love with someone else recently..."
Yu Haiqiao stopped talking with Yang Xiongwei and looked at me, as if he didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Before I could speak, Chen Xie poked his arm: "Oh, let me change places with you, so it's inconvenient for me to chat with Shi Ran." Push the coat and scarf between her and Yu Haiqiao, looked at me with great interest and continued to ask: "And then? But what exactly is an open marriage like?"
Just make it up casually: "It means that he and I don't restrict each other's emotional life."
Shuqin sat in the middle and listened to a more professional explanation for a long time: "It's like dancing, both men and women are dancing partners, but occasionally they will exchange other dancing partners during the middle of the song, but it will not affect the mutual interaction between the two of them." This relationship as a dance partner."
I uttered an oh in my heart.
Chen Xie continued to ask: "But in the process of exchanging dance partners, you find that other dance partners are better?"
I nodded silently in my heart - good question.
Shu Qin said: "The relationship between you and your dance partner is very free and equal, so you can tell him that you have found a more suitable dance partner for you."
Chen Xie nodded and looked at me again: "Then you fell in love with someone else, which means..."
Yu Haiqiao suddenly called me beside her: "Shi Ran."
I looked at him: "Huh?"
"When you went out in the morning, you told me to remind you to check your phone during lunch, saying that your boss might send you an email at this time for you to forward," he said.
I:"… "
I took out my mobile phone from my bag, deleted the messy advertising messages and app notifications with one click, and then clicked on WeChat. The message Yu Haiqiao sent me a few minutes ago—what do you mean
I'm typing—literally.
After clicking send, Chen Xie sat across from me and asked Yu Haiqiao again: "Shi Ran told you that he likes someone else, so do you have someone you like?"
I glanced at Yu Haiqiao.
Yu Haiqiao glanced at me, he looked away, and replied without emotion: "Of course."
