Chapter 1 Blind date
The story begins when Muyan goes home for vacation.
Because of the good sales of the new book, Muyan was approved by the editor to have a good rest during the National Day, so she does not have to submit the manuscript for the time being.
I thought would finally have time to spend with parents, but the next day came back, fell into the infinite blind date mode.
The mother used almost all the relationships in the community and neighbors to arrange five blind dates within a week, from various schools and from all walks of life, each time was more outrageous, and the most outrageous one was that the man brought his whole family to the blind date.
The scene at that time can be imagined, seven or eight people gathered around Muyan to look up and down, commenting, either checking household registration or saying that women don't need to work, and some even said that they need to be white and fat in order to have children.
Actually dislike her for being too thin?
Do you know how much delicious food you need to eat to stay in shape?
Muyan was very disappointed in the blind date, she hurried to the bathroom and called her mother to express that she was scared by the other party.The mother noticed the problem, and took the initiative to let Muyan come back first, and she will take care of other things.
The way my mother solved the problem was to arrange another blind date at the end of the National Day holiday.
As a full-time romance novel writer, Muyan's life is not only writing manuscripts but also reading books, otherwise she just stays at home and watches Korean dramas.
Because girls of the same age around her are basically married, Muyan is actually a little anxious, but because she writes too many romance plots, she has no interest in the boys around her at all.
Muyan came to a conclusion.
A writer's brain is used to write novels, and he can only fall in love with the hero in the novel.
"Oh, my mother made a blind date for me again today, and I was really going crazy, every time was more and more wonderful, last time the man asked me when I was getting married, did you think that I was already him when I met him?"Is your fiancee already?"
Muyan lay on the bed, pinching her phone and constantly complaining.
"You should have a good chat with your aunt. A writer like you is unlikely to find a partner on a blind date. After all, you have all kinds of novel gods in your mind. Do you feel disgusted by those blind date men?"
"It's not disgusting, it's just that they seem to be able to get married as long as they are women, and they don't need to get to know each other at all. I really can't accept it!"
Muyan recalled the face of the man on the blind date last time, she felt a chill in her heart, she was about to get married just after meeting, she seriously suspected that his sperm was in his head!
The best friend sent multiple sneering emojis, laughing at Muyan's predicament.
"Zhao Yuanyuan, are you laughing at me? Do you think I dare not beat you to death?" Muyan sent out a voice viciously, her tone full of threats.
Zhao Yuanyuan immediately changed her words and gave a practical suggestion."Let's go shopping today, buy, buy, buy, and the mood will naturally be better!"
"I have a blind date at nine o'clock today, let's go shopping and wait until the afternoon."
Muyan threw down her phone, got up and changed into a tracksuit, ready to go like this, anyway, it is impossible to find a partner on a blind date, just fool around casually.
When I walked to the door, my mother came over with disgusted eyes, "Why are you dressed like this? Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes?"
Muyan thought to herself that I dressed like this on purpose, what's the point of changing it?
She tried to put on an innocent face, "What's wrong with me? I'm a naturally healthy, athletic girl."
The mother heheed twice, and looked at Muyan with an expression that I believed in your ghost, and saw that she was indifferent, and then said angrily: "I haven't seen you move in a day, why are you pretending to be sporty? Are you trying to piss me off?"?β
Muyan suspected that the answer was that she would be beaten to death, so she went back to her room and changed into a black retro long dress, not like going on a blind date, but more like being sent to the execution ground.
It is said that today's blind date is a company executive and a super handsome guy, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not.
Muyan has no hope, before the blind date she was full of hype, only to find out after meeting the person that she was cheated, the boys who will appear in the blind date market are originally sold domestically because they cannot be sold abroad, how could there be a handsome guy?
"Yanyan, talk to him in a while, that young man is really nice today, I saw the photo, he is very handsome!" Mother kept brainwashing Muyan on the way."It took me a lot of effort to find it. You have to seize the opportunity."
"Mom, I wrote until four o'clock in the morning last night, and I was dragged up by you at six o'clock this morning." Muyan covered her mouth and gasped, telling lies without changing her face or heartbeat. In fact, last night was a mobile phone drama.Followed until four o'clock in the morning.
The new Korean dramas are so good that I can't stop.
"What's the use of writing a manuscript? I can't find a partner to write a manuscript. No matter how much money I make, I'm still a single dog?" The mother complained mercilessly, and continued to say with distaste: "I'm ashamed to say that I am a romance novel writer. I don't even have a single person."You donβt even have a boyfriend! I donβt know how you wrote those romance novels!β
Muyan resolutely shuts her mouth and doesn't refute a single sentence, as long as she refutes one sentence, her mother will say ten sentences, and listening obediently is the truth.
Speaking of which, when she was writing novels, she always complained that the heroine was single, and now being complained by her mother is simply a cycle of retribution.
...
The appointment was at the coffee shop on the first floor of a nearby shopping mall, and since it was morning, there were only a few people.
Muyan followed behind her mother expressionlessly, watched her finish the phone call, and then was dragged into the coffee shop.
"Hurry up, the man has already arrived." Mother urged, Muyan could only speed up her pace.
The other party chose a small semi-enclosed room, from the outside it could be seen that there were already two people waiting inside.
Muyan was originally walking behind, but when she was about to enter the private room, she was suddenly pushed by her mother, and she stood at the door of the private room, and the man inside happened to be looking at the door.
The moment the four eyes met, Muyan was completely stunned.
In front of him was a handsome and familiar face, it was Gu Zhen.
Her first love, also her high school classmate.
Muyan was dumbfounded, wanted to say something, opened her mouth but completely forgot, just stood at the door blankly, staring at the man in front of her stupidly.
Gu Zhen, the name imprinted deep in the soul, at this moment, suddenly it is no longer just a name, nor is it the green appearance of seventeen years old, but overlaps with the mature and handsome man in suit and leather shoes in front of him.
He just appeared in front of her eyes again.
"Sit down!" The mother pulled the mechanical and dull Muyan to sit opposite Gu Zhen.
I don't know how others feel when they see their first love, in short, Muyan really wants to run away now.
Gu Zhen was her first love, and he was also the one who had cheated her badly.
The two haven't seen each other for almost ten years.
From the age of seventeen to twenty-seven, everything in a trance was just yesterday.
Is this a trick of fate?
...
Sitting opposite Gu Zhen, Muyan lowered her head slightly, pinching the hem of the long black dress helplessly, really unable to think of what expression to face the person in front of her.
Her mood was like a roller coaster, up and down, hard to calm down.
She thought that she had been resolute and brave in her cultivation long ago, but in the end, all her courage melted into bubbles at the moment they met.
She still didn't have the courage, just like she didn't have the courage to go to him to settle accounts.
She has always wanted to ask him face to face, why did she lie to herself, but she still didn't have the courage to ask him.
He was Gu Zhen, the person she had silently liked for many years.
"I'm Muyan's mother." Mu's mother was full of enthusiasm and quickly broke the silence."Our Muyan just looks quieter and doesn't like to talk to strangers. After getting acquainted with her, she won't be like this. People who are acquainted with her call her little sparrow. She is chirping, maybe she has."
Muyan buried her head very low, the unlucky nickname Little Sparrow was given by a very unreliable classmate in high school, somehow it got to her mother.
"I'm Gu Zhen's aunt. I've contacted you before." The aunt quickly pushed Gu Zhen beside her, motioning for her nephew to say hello.
The blind date this time was Gu Zhen's aunt and Muyan's mother who held hands together, and now they naturally took the initiative to help the two young people ease the atmosphere.
"Hello, Auntie! What would you like to drink? I'll help you." Gu Zhen's voice was calm, more mature than when he was in school.
"I don't care." The mother poked her own daughter, signaling Muyan not to keep pretending to be dead.
Muyan glanced at the drink list, and casually said: "Strawberry milk tea."
Gu Zhen drew a few strokes on the list and handed it to the waiter.
My aunt looked at Muyan with a smile, and took the initiative to introduce, "We, Gu Zhen, work in an investment bank. The salary is very good, but we are busy with work, don't communicate with girls very much, and have never been able to get a girlfriend."
"Our family's Yanyan is the same. She doesn't communicate with boys very much. She usually talks a lot at home, but she doesn't like to talk when she goes out." Mother Mu started an awkward chat with Gu Zhen's aunt without any surprise.
The two elders chatted without hindrance, but there was always an unbreakable gap between the young people, and they were still unable to speak.
Muyan didn't know what her mother was talking about with the other party at all, her mood hadn't jumped out of the roller coaster of reuniting with Gu Zhen, her brain and heart were filled with suppressed and joyful heartbeats, and she didn't know what to do at all.
She was a little short-circuited, and kept cheering herself up in her heart.
Muyan, what are you thinking?
What's there to be afraid of?
Even if he is afraid, he should be afraid, right?
Muyan plucked up her courage, looked up at Gu Zhen, her eyes were full of complicated and unspeakable emotions.
Meeting first love on a blind date sounds a bit nonsense, but it happens.
Gu Zhen looked at the drink in front of him, noticed the action on the other side, and immediately raised his head, just in time to meet Muyan's slightly reproachful gaze, he was a little at a loss for a while, his dark eyebrows frowned slightly, his whole body was in a state of disarray.I feel a little more sensitive and cramped.
"Actually, we know each other."
Gu Zhen opened his mouth, interrupting the two elders who were chatting enthusiastically, "I know Muyan, we are classmates in high school."
For a while, the venue was silent and the atmosphere was awkward.
The faces of the two elders were astonished, completely unaware of how things could develop so suddenly.
"Why don't you talk when you know each other?" Auntie took the lead to break the silence, with a look of disappointment on the child's face, "If I knew you knew each other, why would I introduce you? Knowing is a good thing, what a fate!"
"That's right, Yan Yan, why don't you say anything! You just know you are in a daze!" Mother Mu looked at her daughter in surprise. Since they all know each other, there is no need for the elders to meddle here.
Mu's mother stood up with a snap, and said proudly, "His aunt, let's go for a stroll around the neighborhood and let the young people chat by themselves. Since we all know each other, what are we still doing here?"
My aunt simply raised her hands in favor.
The two didn't give the young man a chance to speak at all, and quickly left arm in arm.
Muyan stared blankly at the back of her mother leaving, how much did she hate to marry, and lost her daughter directly on the way to the blind date?
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Gu Zhen broke the silence with a bit of restraint in his voice.
"Basically, it seems like we haven't seen each other since graduating from high school." Muyan pursed her lips hard, but she didn't know what to say to the other party.
"I've heard about you. You are now a famous best-selling novelist." Gu Zhen smiled lightly, and the sunlight fell on his handsome face through the glass, making him more handsome and clean., Sunny and handsome.
"It was boasted by the publishing house. In fact, it's not very popular, it's just enough to support myself." Holding the drink, Muyan was a little ashamed, after all, all of her writings were romance novels, and they were only boasting as best-selling novels.
"I have read your book." Gu Zhen threw a bombshell, and continued in a neutral tone: "Passing by the bookstore, I saw your book for sale, bought a few, and almost finished reading it, the stories are very delicate, and the text is very warm."
"Really? I wouldn't recommend anyone around me to read it, it's really embarrassing." Muyan became more and more embarrassed, completely unexpected that Gu Zhen had read her own novel.
"Your writing is very good. It has improved a lot from high school. It can be said that it has improved little by little. Now the writing is very refined and delicate, touching people's hearts." Gu Zhen tried hard to express his impressions after reading it.
Muyan blushed in the blink of an eye, she didn't know what to say, and now she was even more at a loss.
Is this man a devil?
Why do you read her romance novels?
"Why do you read my books? What I write is for little girls." Muyan forcibly picked up the topic.
"Maybe it's boring. After work, read novels to relieve fatigue." Gu Zhen continued to speak, with a smile on his lips, as if countless stars were twinkling in his eyes.
For a moment, Muyan was a little dazed.
What expression is this?What look?
Too foul!
Muyan's brain was already down, and now she has even lost her ability to think.
Once upon a time, she was attracted by such Gu Zhen and liked him for a long time, but it's a pity that this relationship ended in being deceived by the other party.
