I forget which friend told me before that the difference between men’s IQ and women’s is just a few tenths. Maybe men don't think this is a problem, but there is still a slight difference between monkeys and humans. That is to say. When a man lies in front of a woman, it is like a monkey lying, the difference is so clear.
I don't think Luo Xiangdong is a monkey, it's just out of a woman's sixth sense. I noticed it too. He hasn't been very normal lately, as if he's holding back some big surprise for me, and this surprise isn't just for my birthday.
It's not like I've fantasized about Luo Xiangdong proposing to me once or twice, but now Luo Zhenye doesn't accept me. We have a long way to go before we get married. So I'm not sure.
Reason is in a desperate struggle with sensibility. I don't care what Luo Xiangdong wants to give me. Anyway, when Luo Xiangdong came to pick me up at the travel agency on Friday night, I was already dressed up.
It’s late December in Night City. It was well over 20 degrees below zero. I wear leggings with over-the-knee boots, and a blue-green long fur that goes past my butt. I've dyed my hair back to black. Also straightened. I usually wear a ponytail when I work. Today it hangs on the shoulders.
Luo Xiangdong came out of the car and when he saw me like this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. There was also a light in his eyes. He smiled and said: "Hey, it's different from when I went out in the morning. I went somewhere specially to take care of myself."
I blinked the grafted false eyelashes, which were three centimeters long, and said with a smile, "That's right. I took leave this afternoon to get them."
Luo Xiangdong walked up to me, reached out and pinched my face, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful that I don't even recognize her."
I immediately glanced at him and said, "Am I usually ugly?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I've seen you without makeup."
I immediately stretched out my hand to hit him, but Luo Xiangdong didn't hide. He just smiled and said, "Pay attention to your appearance. The clothes look so good. Don't act like a madman."
Luo Xiangdong's white Porsche Panar was parked in front of our travel agency, attracting many passers-by's glances. I also wanted to pay attention to my image, so I took back the hand that hit Luo Xiangdong.
Luo Xiangdong opened the car door for me. I got in the passenger seat and waited for him to get in the car before saying, "Where are we going?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "If you are hungry, go and eat first."
Luo Xiangdong drove me to a newly opened French restaurant. I thought to myself that in such a romantic atmosphere, I would really propose to you, right
After getting off the bus, we held hands and went in. During the meal, I kept paying close attention to every tray brought by the waiter, but when the tray was opened, it was really just vegetables.
After finishing the meal, Luo Xiangdong asked me: "Do you still want dessert?"
I was already full, but I thought about the scenes on TV of stuffing rings into cakes, so I stiffened my neck and said, "Eat some."
Luo Xiangdong asked the waiter to serve dessert. During this period, Luo Xiangdong and I sat across from each other, and he kept staring at my face.
Even though we have been together for almost a year, I still can't resist his hot eyes. I asked him: "What's good about it is that it's more polished than usual."
Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips and replied with a smile: "Today is not your birthday, tomorrow is. Why are you so early?"
Luo Xiangdong revealed my little thoughts. I rolled my eyes and said back to him: "It's just after twelve o'clock in the evening."
Actually, what I want to say is that I am afraid that Luo Xiangdong will surprise me outside, so I arm myself first.
Even if I didn't say it, Luo Xiangdong would definitely be able to see it. I awkwardly picked up the wine glass in front of me and took a sip of red wine. Luo Xiangdong said with doting eyes, "Hey, would you be angry if I didn't prepare a birthday gift for you?"
I glanced at him and said with a sneer: "Don't you want to be with me anymore?"
The smile on Luo Xiangdong's face grew bigger and he replied to me: "You won't kick me if you don't give me a gift."
I said, "The cleaning lady in our community even knew how to give me a hand warmer. Are you embarrassed not to give me a gift?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Then I will also give you a hand warmer."
I asked: "Is it diamond-encrusted?"
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and said, "Are there any bullies like you?"
While we were talking, the waiter came up with two pieces of cake the size of his palm. One is matcha, and the other is ice cream.
Luo Xiangdong asked: "Which one do you want to eat?"
I said, "Look at you, give me the rest."
Luo Xiangdong pushed the ice cream to me. I took a spoon and took a spoonful from the middle, and put it into my mouth carefully. I'm not afraid of the cold, I'm just afraid of accidentally swallowing the ring.
Well, not the first bite. I took the spoon and scooped it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time.
The cake was as big as my palm and I finished it in a blink of an eye. I couldn't tell whether I was disappointed or expected, so I had to comfort myself that today was not my birthday, so Luo Xiangdong probably waited until after twelve o'clock to send it off.
When I put down the spoon, Luo Xiangdong asked me: "Are you full?"
"Um."
"This is delicious too, try it."
"I can't eat any more."
"This is really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."
Luo Xiangdong is not usually a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he asked me to taste his several times. Could it be that he has the ring
I couldn't hold it any longer, but I still took the cake that Luo Xiangdong only moved a spoonful of.
The matcha one is much more substantial than the ice cream one. Every time I scooped out a spoonful, it felt like something hard had been touched inside, so I took every bite with full anticipation.
But until I finished eating the whole cake, I was too exhausted to bow my head, and there was still no ring.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me across the table and said with a smile: "Do you still want to eat?"
I was a little angry: "I won't eat anymore."
I knew I shouldn't be petty with him. Luo Xiangdong never said he wanted to propose to me. I thought too much, but the loss in my heart and the fullness in my stomach made me feel like a crazy idiot.
Hey, why bother eating it if I had known I could just chop it with a spoon
After we were full of wine and food, we left the restaurant. Luo Xiangdong asked me: "Do you want to go somewhere to play?"
I thought he had already prepared the program, but now he asked me. Naturally, I couldn’t say anything, so I could only say, “Anything is fine.”
Luo Xiangdong said: "How about asking them to come out and play for a while."
Just when I was about to say something, Luo Xiangdong's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone to answer the call. I heard him say, "I was just looking for you. Where are you? Let's go there now."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Xiangdong said to me: "Let's go, they are all together, let's go over and have some fun."
I followed Luo Xiangdong into the car and went to a private club where we often go.
In the private room of the club, Wei Zheng, Zheng Zeyu, Qin Yichuan and Tan Huan were all there. Seeing the two of us coming in, everyone said hello.
Zheng Zeyu sat on the side of the mahjong machine, holding his chin with one hand, and said to Luo Xiangdong: "Three are missing and one is waiting for you."
Luo Xiangdong walked over and said, "I haven't played for a while and my hands are itchy."
While they were talking, the four of them gathered together for a table of mahjong.
At first, Tan Huan and I sat next to Luo Xiangdong and Qin Yichuan respectively, but after watching them for a while, Tan Huan said to me: "Zijin, let's go sing some children's songs. I can't understand."
As if I had seen a savior, I kept saying, "I'm just waiting for your words. I can't understand them either."
There was a KTV in the private room. Tan Huan and I were sitting on the sofa. She asked me: "Zijin, what do you want to sing?"
I wanted to say that you sang first, but when the words came to my lips, I unconsciously said: "Happy birthday to me."
"good."
Tan Huan helped me request a song. Actually, I didn’t want to sing this. I just wanted to play tricks with Luo Xiangdong inexplicably. I reminded him that although today is not my birthday, it will be after twelve o’clock soon. He pulled me over now, but he went alone. It’s time to play mahjong. Is this really good
After singing a song angrily, he turned his head to look at the mahjong machine. Several people had a great time playing, but Wei Zheng took the time to cheer for me and clapped his hands.
I was secretly disappointed. The greater my hope, the greater my disappointment.
I don’t know if Tan Huan did it on purpose or just by chance. She nodded and thought too much, and I immediately couldn’t laugh or cry.
The men in the private room were playing cards, and Tan Huan and I took turns singing a song. In the middle of the journey, I also received a call from my mother. She asked me: "Zijin, what are you doing?"
I said, "I was playing with Xiangdong and my friends."
My mother said: "It's your birthday after tonight, don't you have any plans?"
I casually glanced in the direction of Luo Xiangdong. He was smiling and talking to Zheng Zeyu and the others. I replied aloud: "I don't know yet."
My mother said: "This is your first birthday since you two got together. He usually takes good care of you, so he has to prepare well for his birthday."
I didn't even dare to tell my mother that Luo Xiangdong was playing cards, so he hung up the phone with a few perfunctory words.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Luo Xiangdong and the others had been playing cards for almost two hours.
Tan Huan also asked me to request a song, and I said, "I won't sing anymore, I'm a little tired."
Tan Huan said: "They made an appointment to stay up all night tonight. I don't have anything to do tomorrow. Let's go watch a movie."
I was stunned. Luo Xiangdong didn't say anything before he stayed up all night.
Tan Huan and I got up and went to the mahjong table. She said hello to Qin Yichuan and said that we would go out to watch a movie.
I was waiting for Luo Xiangdong's response. Luo Xiangdong sat, looked up at me, and said with a smile: "Let's go play with Tan Huan, watch a midnight movie, and then go shopping. Buy whatever you like."
I asked: "What time do you want to fight until tomorrow?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "At six or seven o'clock, I will call you after the beating is over and celebrate your birthday with you tomorrow."
Zheng Zeyu also smiled and said: "Zijin, I want to say happy birthday to you in advance."
Wei Zheng and Qin Yichuan both said: "Happy birthday."
I raised the corners of my lips, thanked them one by one, and then walked out with Tan Huan.
Tan Huan drove me to the cinema upstairs in Yintai. We randomly selected a new movie we had never seen before and entered the studio with our tickets.
She sat next to me and ate popcorn, while I stared at the big screen in a daze for nearly two hours.
The third time I quietly took out my phone, it was one minute before midnight.
I looked up at the big screen in front of me, and kept telling myself in my heart, don't do it, you just didn't celebrate my birthday with me at midnight, I have a whole day tomorrow.
Just as I was thinking about it, the big screen in front of me suddenly went dark, and the entire screening room was also dark. Because the movie hadn't finished yet, everyone let out a sigh, not knowing what happened.
