At 9:45 in the morning on Monday, Bai Changyi finished Robotik's first class on time, and then flew to Leipzig to attend an academic exchange.
After having dinner with his academic colleagues, he waited for Meng Yurong in the hotel garden.
"Hey." Meng Yurong walked behind him, turned around, and sat across from him, "Long time no see."
Bai Changyi raised his hand to signal to the waiter and ordered two cups of Cuba Libre.
Meng Yurong interrupted him and asked the waiter to replace a cup of Cuba Libre with black tea.
Bai Changyi didn't want Cuba Libre either, and switched to decaffeinated coffee.
When the waiter left, Bai Changyi said, "The taste has changed."
Meng Yurong said: "Pregnant, not suitable for alcoholic beverages."
Bai Changyi glanced at Meng Yurong's pointed stilettos through the thin metal rimless glasses, but did not speak.
Meng Yurong said, "Changyi, your taste has also changed."
Bai Changyi said: "I have never liked alcohol, or sugary drinks."
Meng Yurong was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled clearly and said, "It's your style. You can drink things you don't like for a lifetime."
Bai Changyi said: "Like is not so important."
"I know that responsibility is the most important, right. You are still so stubborn." Meng Yurong subconsciously touched the brand-new wedding ring on her ring finger, which used to belong to another ring. If she hadn't found out that the pornographic magazines that Bai Changyi bought contained pictures of men, perhaps Bai Changyi would still be her perfect husband now.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Meng Yurong asked.
Bai Changyi frowned slightly, as if he was a little uncomfortable with this statement. When the waiter brought coffee and black tea, he took a sip from the cup and said, "No."
"Did you know," Meng Yurong picked up the small milk jug on the tray and let the fresh milk spin and faint in the black tea, "he looks not as good as you, his mind is not as good as you, and he is not even as considerate as you, so he is responsible for the family. But , When I was with him, I felt that everything was right. It's strange, everything is fine with you, but I always feel that something is missing, that something is wrong."
Bai Changyi hooked the corner of his lips, just once, then put it down quickly and said, "It's fine if you think it's good."
Meng Yurong said, "What about you?"
Bai Changyi said, "What am I?"
Meng Yurong said, "What do you plan to do in the future?"
Bai Changyi said, "I'm not in a hurry."
Meng Yurong said, "If you found out before marriage that you like men more, would you still marry me?"
Bai Changyi did not speak. Silent courtesy.
Meng Yurong didn't speak any more, just took a sip of black tea from the teacup. Milk and tea were on her lips, but she didn't realize it.
Bai Changyi took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and handed it to her.
Meng Yurong took the handkerchief and saw the white flower "Bai" embroidered on the dark blue handkerchief, and tears suddenly fell. Bai Changyi is such a person: come early for an appointment, bring a handkerchief with you, and remain silent in moderation, but you will know that he is also paying attention to you when he is silent. As she thought about it, her tears fell down like beads one by one, and then the tears became a stream of water, streaming down her face incessantly.
"I—" Meng Yurong choked up, unable to speak any more, so he could only keep wiping his eyes with a handkerchief until his eyes turned red.
Bai Changyi lowered his eyes, didn't look at her slightly embarrassed face, didn't ask what was wrong, just said, "The hormone affects. I understand."
"...No." Meng Yurong shook her head, her voice very low, even if there were no other Chinese people around, she subconsciously didn't want anyone to hear it, because it couldn't be said nicely, "He cheated... After I became pregnant, he cheated."
Bai Changyi didn't speak, only leaned forward slightly so that Meng Yurong could keep his voice softer.
Meng Yurong was crying while talking in a low voice.
It was windy in the garden, Meng Yurong sneezed and sniffed, Bai Changyi took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
Meng Yurong couldn't help shaking the hand that covered her clothes, turned to look into Bai Changyi's eyes, and said, "Everything is right for him, and there is not much of everything... But why can't he, why can't he be like you? ? Even if you find out that you like a man, you can still avoid cheating... Why can't he?"
Bai Changyi was silent for a while, and said, "People are different. Apart from that, I have no other advantages."
"No, you're not... You're fine. Really. I—" Meng Yurong wiped away her tears, "I'm leaving. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll say something I shouldn't say. That way, I'll be too unhuman. already."
Bai Changyi understood what she wanted to say. She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would say that she wanted to start over with Bai Changyi.
Meng Yurong stood up on the armrest of the rattan chair, and Bai Changyi gave her a hand, making sure she was wearing stilettos so that her feet would not sag before letting go.
"I'll send you." Bai Changyi said.
Meng Yurong smiled with red eyes, handed the car key to Bai Changyi, and said, "You are so considerate."
Bai Changyi said: "It should be."
While in the car, Meng Yurong said, "Let's find a boyfriend."
Perhaps because it was the second time I heard this word today, Bai Changyi was not used to it, and only said, "If there is a suitable one."
Meng Yurong said, "Hurry up and find it. Don't give me a chance."
Bai Changyi was driving, not knowing what he was thinking, until he stopped at a red light and said, "Okay."
Meng Yurong turned his head and looked out the window, crying silently.
"Changyi, do people regret what they choose in the end?"
Bai Changyi said, "Probably."
He didn't really think so, but he could only say so to Meng Yurong.
Meng Yurong said, "Then do you regret it?"
Bai Changyi took a rare look of thinking for three seconds and said, "Well, I regret buying a pornographic magazine that day. In fact, the men in it are not very good-looking."
Meng Yurong burst into tears. She knew that Bo Chang intended to make her happy.
"Go and make a boyfriend." She touched the wedding ring on her ring finger again, "Now that the social network is so developed, it is very easy."
"I know it's easy." Another red light, Bai Changyi felt a little bored, reached out and loosened his tie.
Meng Yurong picked up Bai Changyi's mobile phone and took a photo. She was a little surprised that Bai Changyi's phone had not changed the lock screen password.
Bai Changyi didn't pay attention to what Meng Yurong was doing with his mobile phone, so he concentrated on driving, taking her home first, and then calling the taxi company to pick him up back to the hotel.
It was late by the time he got back to the hotel, he took a shower, put on his bathrobe, put on his glasses, and started working on unread emails. Emails from schools, emails from dissertation journals, emails from academic support institutions, emails from students…
How do today's students write a sick leave email with grammatical errors
Bai Changyi clicked on the scanned sick leave slip in the attachment and glanced at it. A cold and dizziness were the favorite reasons for sick leave given by family doctors. He took another look at the student's name, TING Shuang, the only Chinese student absent this morning.
Bai Changyi used to be a student. Of course, he knew what tricks students like to play the most, so he replied a polite email, saying that students who have not heard the first lesson will not be able to understand the next lessons, so please ask next year's four. It will be rebuilt every month, and finally hope that the other party will recover soon.
After processing the mail, Bai Changyi was ready to blow his hair and go to sleep before his hair was dry.
At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated, and a message appeared on the screen to remind you—[Distance] 9 people just said "like" to you, come and see who they are!
Bai Changyi frowned slightly, clicked on the message, and the screen jumped to the Distance application interface.
When was this software downloaded? Bai Changyi checked the software purchase record and downloaded and installed it today. He spent another two minutes researching the app, a gay dating app. Enter the personal home page interface and have registered. The avatar should be the photo Meng Yurong just took in the car, the name is Cycle, why is it Cycle
He remembered that Meng Yurong showed him his mobile phone and said coquettishly, "Look, Changyi, I typed your name too many times. Now, as long as I lose cy, my input method will automatically associate with Changyi."
Thinking of this, Bai Changyi tried it and typed cy on the keyboard of his mobile phone. Maybe he rarely typed his Chinese name, so the input method automatically associated Cycle.
Bai Changyi thought it was a little funny.
He remembered that he had promised Meng Yurong in the car today that he wanted to socialize, so he browsed the app at random, and found the speed-dating interface.
Looking at the pictures, he thought they were all monsters and monsters in strange clothes.
Just when he decided to quit the software, he saw a very normal photo. The faces of the people in the photo are not clear. They only wear simple white T-shirts and jeans. It is impossible to tell whether they are good-looking or not, but the sitting posture is so attractive.
The length of the ankle exposed under the jeans is also just right.
Bai Changyi wanted to see this person's information.
Name: F****
Attribute: 0.5 Age: 24 Height: 182cm Weight: 70kg Relationship Status: Single Current Distance: 287km 24 years old, it seems that the age difference is too much.
Bai Changyi didn't plan to click 'no sense' or 'like', he wanted to quit directly, then blow dry his hair and go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to exit the interface, a drop of water happened to drip from the tip of his still wet hair.
With a snap, the drop of water hit the 'favorite' spot on the phone screen.
Before Bai Changyi could perform more operations, the interface of Distance changed. Two huge pink words appeared along with countless hearts—Perfect Match and then another line of words popped up on the screen: Cycle, congratulations, you and Frost is a perfect match!
