He stared at her and said, "So reluctant? It's better not to say it."
Han Qiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head hurriedly and said, "I won't force you, I won't force you. I just want to tell you that I don't have anyone to talk to recently..."
"Then tell me."
Han Qiqing folded her arms around herself, shook her head and said, "Can we talk in another place? It's so cold standing here."
Song Shijun said, "Okay, go to my house."
Han Qiqing shook her head, "No."
"Why? Are you angry with me now?" Song Shijun asked in confusion.
Han Qiqing said, "I already told you that I didn't bring a gift. It's the Chinese New Year. How can I go to someone else's house without bringing a gift?"
This is basic courtesy.
Song Shijun said nonchalantly, "It's too late for my family to be happy that you can come. It doesn't matter what gifts you have."
Han Qiqing still shook her head, "No."
Song Shijun also understood her persistence and had to find another way.
"Then I'll take you somewhere, let's go."
"Where to go? Are there many people?"
"Make sure there's no one there, not even flies."
Han Qiqing followed him obediently, and the two of them walked to a building in the compound and entered a corner room.
As soon as I opened the door, there was a rush of warm air.
The room is large, with indoor basketball hoops and other things, as well as a bed and a set of sofas. Judging from the decoration, it is full of boyish atmosphere.
"Whose room is this?" Han Qiqing asked.
Song Shijun smiled and said, "This is the secret base for the boys in our compound."
Han Qiqing asked, "Will anyone come?"
"They shouldn't be here for a while."
Song Shijun asked her to sit down on the sofa and went to get her a drink.
There is actually a refrigerator in the room. The three sides of the refrigerator are covered with various stickers, but it doesn't look messy, but has a unique style.
He handed her the drink and sat on the single sofa next to hers. "Can we start talking?"
Han Qiqing was a little nervous. She opened the drink, took a sip, and then said slowly, "Well... I fell in love with someone..."
Thinking of her brother, her eyes darkened.
"Who?" he asked.
Han Qiqing did not answer his question. She looked down at the drink in her hand and said in a low voice, "I have been chasing him recently. It has been very hard and tiring."
Song Shijun felt the change in her mood and did not press her who she was.
Even the best friends don't have to have no secrets.
If she hadn't lied to him, even if he found out that she had something on her mind, he probably wouldn't have asked, just waiting for her to tell him one day.
Han Qiqing blinked hard, obviously not wanting tears to fall.
"Today, he accepted the blind date arranged by his family."
Song Shijun listened quietly.
At the same time, she guessed in her mind that this man should be much older than Qiqing, and there was no one around her who met this condition.
Han Qiqing raised her head and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what a blind date means?"
"What does it mean?" he asked.
Han Qiqing smiled sadly, "It represents the willingness to have a relationship based on marriage."
She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with tears.
"I've worked hard."
There was a distinct cry in her voice.
The tears finally fell.
She hid her face in the hand holding the drink, her body trembling slightly, and her whole body was filled with sadness.
Song Shijun couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw it.
Then, I heard her sobbing and saying, "I've obviously tried my best, why can't it work! Why can't it still work..."
