Zhan Xi had a good dream all night, but her happy spirit could not stop the virus from attacking. When she woke up on Sunday morning, her fever became even worse.

When she got up, Zhan Jie had already gone to the company to work overtime, and only Qin Fei and Weiwei were left at home.

Agency Liu called Zhan Xi and asked her how she was thinking. Zhan Xi thought about it and made an appointment with him to go to the store to sign a contract after get off work on the weekdays. She decided to rent Room 802 of Qingque Jiayuan, and then take action.

——

Luo Jingyu came to the dessert shop half an hour in advance. It was not because he was too excited or too nervous that he came early. He just didn't count the time on the road.

When he walked into the store, he took off his mask and looked around. At 10 a.m., it should be that there were not many customers, but at this time, there were more than a dozen people in a part of the dessert shop, including five or six kindergarten-aged children.

Luo Jingyu couldn't hear it. She walked over and took a look and found that the children were doing handicrafts, and her parents were helping. It should be a parent-child activity held by the dessert shop.

A waitress greeted him: "Welcome, sir, there is a space there, you can scan the code and order the order."

Luo Jingyu looked at the materials on the children's tables and typed a line of words in the memo on his mobile phone to show the waiter: [Can you give me a piece of paper?]

The waiter was stunned. Luo Jingyu pointed to the colored paper on the table. The waiter smiled and said, "It's OK."

She took a piece of pink A4 paper for Luo Jingyu, and Luo Jingyu took it and typed it for her: [Thank you.]

The waitress led him to the window with a red face. Luo Jingyu sat down in the empty seat, first cut out four squares with A4 paper, and then started origami.

This was his hobby when he was a teenager and was very suitable for killing time. It was a long time to fold. He forgot some steps in several difficult shapes and could only fold simple animals.

There should be noisy children in the store, but Luo Jingyu's world will never be disturbed by these noises. The jumping figures of the children have become cute background boards, making him look childlike.

Ten fingers moved flexibly. He first folded a pink rabbit with two long ears and a kitten. He touched the water pen that he carried in his pocket. He drew black eyes on the rabbit and kitten. When folding the tropical fish, his cell phone vibrated, and Chang Ting sent a WeChat message saying that she was about to arrive.

This is Luo Jingyu's first blind date. Chang Ting is a colleague of her brother-in-law Gao Yuan in the District Disabled Persons' Federation. Half a year ago, Gao Yuan also introduced a girl to Luo Jingyu. After both parties added WeChat, the girl was very proactive and chased Luo Jingyu to chat every day. Unfortunately, Luo Jingyu's chatting skills were too slow, and she ignored people for several hours when she worked. After several questions and not answered, the girl got angry and blocked him directly.

This time, Luo Xiaomei reminded Gao Yuan not to let Luo Jingyu chat on WeChat, and both parties will meet directly.

My brother's bonus points are clearly height and appearance. If the girl sees him first, the matter will be halfway.

After reading the news, Luo Jingyu took the origami and pen into her clothes pocket and sat upright.

"Egg Pudding" made him wear it clean and appropriately, so Luo Jingyu changed into a down jacket, which was also black. It was the first time he wore it this winter. The clothes also had the aromatic aroma of wood in the wardrobe, which was refreshing pine and cypress. A deep breath would bring a hint of bitterness.

Not long after, a young girl came in at the entrance of the store. Luo Jingyu looked at her lowered her hair and sent a message. Almost at the same time, his cell phone vibrated.

[Chang Ting]: I've arrived at the store, where are you?

【What a big fish】: I am by the window.

Chang Ting turned her head and looked at the window and saw a young man in black standing up and waved to her.

She had never seen Luo Jingyu's photo, but only heard Gao Yuan say that his brother-in-law was very handsome. When he saw him, Chang Ting's heart was pounding and found that the other party was really handsome! His hairstyle was not as well-tight as a workplace person. It was so black and fluffy that he was student-like. His hanging bangs also covered some eyebrows. His skin was smooth and white, his eyebrows were clear, his nose was tall, his smile was shy, and he was still tall.

Chang Ting smiled shyly, walked over and pulled out the chair and sat down. After Luo Jingyu also sat down, the two of them looked at each other quietly, and Chang Ting started sign language first.

Chang Ting: [I am Chang Ting, hello.]

Luo Jingyu: [Hello, I am Luo Jingyu, let’s just add something first.]

Compared to writing typing, sign language is Luo Jingyu's native language, so communication will be easier and more relaxed.

However, the way the two communicated would naturally attract other guests to look at them. Luo Jingyu was used to it and took her mobile phone to scan the code at the corner of the table to order.

Nowadays, many stores scan codes or order orders on tablets, and it almost makes people pick up dishes with a paper menu. Compared with the traditional ordering mode many years ago, it is much more convenient for Luo Jingyu and Chang Ting.

Luo Jingyu showed the order page on her mobile phone to Chang Ting and asked her in sign language: [What are you drinking?]

Chang Ting ordered a cup of coffee, Luo Jingyu chose a cup of hot lemon tea, and then ordered a snack platter. When he moved the menu, he saw the "egg pudding". He felt moved and ordered two directly.

After placing an order, he raised his head and found that Chang Ting was still smiling at him.

Chang Ting is pretty and dressed very fashionable. Luo Jingyu knows that she is not bad either. In the past, many female classmates liked him when they were in school, but at that time he was more introverted than he is now, thinking more about his future and never paid attention to dating.

The waiter brought the drinks and snacks over. Luo Jingyu and Chang Ting chatted in sign language and learned the other party's age, education and work. Gao Yuan told them all about this information. Chang Ting knew about Luo Jingyu's situation, but now he was chatting in person. Luo Jingyu could feel that in addition to being of the same age, there was still a lot of gap in his life trajectory between him and Chang Ting.

Luo Jingyu only has a high school education and has never been to university. In simple terms, he does not have a stable job. Compared to his undergraduate degree, Chang Ting, who is currently holding a job in the district disability federation, has much inferior conditions.

Chang Ting: [I am not an only daughter, but also a younger brother. He is Jianting. What about you?]

Luo Jingyu: [I have a sister who is deaf like me.]

Chang Ting was slightly stunned. Brother Gao Yuan was disabled, he had no problem with hearing, but his sign language was fluent. He said he wanted to introduce his brother-in-law to her, but Chang Ting didn't expect that his wife was also a hearing-impaired person.

Generally speaking, hearing-impaired people have their own circles, and they rarely look for listening people when they are in love and marriage, because the communication gap is too big. If Gao Yuan’s wife and brother-in-law are both hearing-impaired people, then it will be a very serious problem.

Chang Ting pondered for a while, plucked her hair and was hesitant when she was signing, and her gestures were not so light.

Chang Ting: [I’m sorry, I want to ask, why can’t you and your sister hear it?]

This is not the first time Luo Jingyu has faced this question, and he answered it very quickly.

Luo Jingyu: [Because she and I are inherited, my father, my mother, my grandfather and grandma are both deaf and mute.]

Chang Ting's face changed. Luo Jingyu knew that this was what Luo Xiaomei said, "What should be said, what should not be said, you should be sensible." But this is the fact, how can you hide it? He still had a calm smile on his face and looked at Chang Ting with a gentle look.

Chang Ting: [I am acne to deafness and can’t hear it until I was four years old because of improper medication.]

Luo Jingyu: [I am innate and have never heard of it.]

Chang Ting raised her hands, as if she wanted to express something, but she didn't know how to express it. Her hands were stuck in mid-air, and in the end, Luo Jingyu took it.

Luo Jingyu: [I know you want to ask me if this situation will be inherited again. To be honest, I don’t know either. My sister is married, but she hasn’t given birth yet. The doctor said that genetic testing is needed to know whether she has a genetic gene. If so, it depends on the probability of hereditary. Our family does have a history of congenital deafness, so I really don’t know. If you mind this issue, I think you have to think carefully. Personally, I prefer not to have children, and I don’t want to bet.]

Chang Ting watched Luo Jingyu's hands flying in front of her very seriously. She typed a lot of sign language, and she was silent, as Luo Jingyu expected.

A few minutes later, she said she had something to do and wanted to leave first, but Luo Jingyu didn't say anything.

After Chang Ting left, Luo Jingyu looked at the snacks and puddings that were almost motionless on the table and ate them slowly alone.

The egg pudding in this restaurant tastes good, sweet but not greasy, and is smooth to the mouth. After Luo Jingyu finished eating this portion, he took the portion that Chang Ting had not moved at all and ate them all.

Luo Jingyu couldn't understand Chang Ting's concerns much.

The times are developing and society is progressing. The concept of eugenics and excellent parenting has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the city. The idea of ​​getting married and having children is very simple. I think Luo Jingyu has to get married and have children no matter what, so my mother perseveres to force him to go on a blind date.

Genetics? What are you afraid of! They all come here like this. Aren’t Luo Jingyu and Luo Xiaomei doing well now?

Luo Xiaomei did not marry a deaf and mute person, which was considered alternative in their big family, shrouded in the shadow of congenital deafness. Luo Jingyu and her sister discussed the issue of having a child. Luo Xiaomei said she planned to give it a try because the case in the family shows that genetics are not a surefire.

Luo Jingyu asked what if? Luo Xiaomei didn't answer. They all knew that no one could answer such a matter of fighting for probability by relying on luck.

After finishing the snack platter, Luo Jingyu wiped her mouth, scanned the code to pay, took out the folded rabbit and kitten from her pocket, walked to the pile of children on the other side of the dessert shop, and placed two small animals origami on the table.

A little girl with a pigtail quickly grabbed the rabbit, looked up at Luo Jingyu, and smiled on her pink face and asked loudly, "Did you give it to me?"

Luo Jingyu understood her lips and nodded with a smile. Another kitten was surrounded by three or four children. The children who had not been caught looked at the little girl enviously. The little girl was so happy: "Thank you uncle!"

Luo Jingyu smiled, pulled up the hat of the down jacket and put it on, then put on the mask, and put his hands in his pocket and left the dessert shop.

He did not return to Qingquejiayuan, but took the subway to the north of the city.

When he left the station by swiping his card, he remembered the misunderstanding that happened at this subway station a week ago. He glanced at the security staff, reluctantly pulled down his hat and took off his mask, and then slowly walked towards the exit.

When he got up to the ground, he immediately became armed again, with only a pair of eyes exposed all over his body.

Luo Jingyu couldn't explain why he had such a habit. In short, when he went out, he would be as "invisible" as possible and was not willing to communicate with others.

After a twenty-minute walk, he came to a lively residential area and walked into a small community supermarket opened along the street.

My father Luo Mingsong sat behind the cashier with reading glasses, with a tablet on the glass counter with various cigarettes on it. He was playing a TV series. The computer display screen next to him was filmed from four angles in the supermarket. Luo Mingsong would occasionally glance at it.

Someone was choosing something in the supermarket. Luo Mingsong saw Luo Jingyu coming in and smiled and said sign language: [Here is here? Have you had lunch?]

Luo Jingyu ate a lot of pudding and snacks, but was not hungry at all. He replied: [I have eaten it, where is my mother?]

Luo Mingsong: [I went home to cook, and I would bring my meal here later. Have you gone on a date in the morning? Have you invited a girl to dinner?]

Luo Jingyu took off her mask and sat down beside her father. Luo Mingsong kept looking at him and waited for him to answer. Luo Jingyu could not avoid it and could only start sign language: [I have seen the girl introduced by my brother-in-law. She knew that my deafness was hereditary, so she left.]

Luo Mingsong's eyes, which were originally full of anticipation, suddenly dimmed. He lowered his head, sighed heavily, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took off his glasses and pointed outside, and signaled himself to go out and smoke one.

Luo Jingyu frowned: [You can try less.]

Luo Mingsong smiled at him, his smile was very bitter. He walked around the counter and walked outside. He stopped again and turned around to tell his son sign language: [Xiaoyu, it's my parents who are sorry for you, and your sister, but the one who is most sorry is you. Dad knows that you blame us in your heart, but you have to understand that no matter what, you and your sister are our good children.]

Luo Mingsong went outside the store to smoke. After the customer selected the items, he came to the counter. Luo Jingyu stood up and took the QR code to help them scan the QR code to check out. A middle-aged aunt living nearby recognized him and asked loudly: "Xiaoyu! I haven't seen you for a long time! Are you coming back to see your parents today?"

In fact, no matter how loud she shouted, Luo Jingyu couldn't hear it, but the louder voice and the lip shape was more obvious. Luo Jingyu understood it and nodded with a smile.

The aunt said, "It's so fast! When Lao Luo's store first opened, you were still a little baby. It's been more than ten years since you've grown into such a tall and handsome young man!"

Luo Jingyu put all the goods into a plastic bag and handed them to her. When the customers left, Luo Jingyu just sat down and the cell phone in her pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it turned out to be a WeChat message sent by "Egg Pudding".

[Egg Pudding]: Good student, did the blind date go smoothly today?

Luo Jingyu smiled unconsciously and typed on her phone.

【What a big fish】: Not good, failed.
