This night, Li Xiaoyun and I chatted for a long time, and the atmosphere was naturally more natural than when we first met. We even talked to each other about our relationship in college, which made us a little sad and sigh.

Li Xiaoyun graduated from the University of Mining and Technology in Xuzhou, but her boyfriend was from Xiamen when she was in college. Although she loved each other deeply, she finally chose to break up due to regional issues.

When talking about the period between myself and Jian Wei, I was even more helpless than Li Xiaoyun. I was so desperate for love that I even accommodated Jian Wei and her to go to Shanghai. I was willing to stay in Shanghai to work and live, but in the end I could not escape the fate of breaking up. After a long time of decay, I gradually realized that the beauty of love was only a moment, and there were not many people who were truly able to retain that beauty.

In their respective feelings and Li Xiaoyun, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and it was almost time to say goodbye.

The two of them stood outside the restaurant. I counted 1,000 yuan from my wallet and handed it to Li Xiaoyun, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, we asked you to borrow money for the first time we went on a blind date."

Li Xiaoyun smiled and took the money from me and said, "It depends on what the person involved thinks about this. At that time, I really thought you were quite weird, but now I think you are not particular about the details and have the freedom of men."

I joked, saying, "I'm tying money and lent men's freedom. Then I'll ask you to borrow more next time."

"That's not possible. The number of times is too many, but it proves that this man's ability is problematic. A man can be down for a while, but he can't be down forever, right?" Li Xiaoyun said to me without saying anything like a joke.

I nodded seriously and understood what Li Xiaoyun meant. If I could really join their company, it would be time for me to prove my work ability.

...

When they got home, Dad Ban and Mom had not yet rested. They were watching a family ethics drama recently and slept later than usual.

When my mother saw me coming back, she asked with concern: "Zhaoyang, are you going to date Xiaoyun today?"

"Yeah." I replied.

"Did you pay back the money you borrowed from someone last time?"

"I'm back, by the way, she's going to introduce me to a job, so don't worry about my job." I said, the reason I told my mother was because I didn't want her to force her to do anything about my work.

"Is it the advertising company she works for?"

"Yeah, yes."

The mother sighed and said, "That girl Xiao Yun is really good. Have you ever thought about trying to do it with her?"

I said helplessly: "You don't know what level your son is. Can people like me?"

"You stupid boy, if you didn't have a good reputation with you, would you lend you money, date you, and introduce your job to you?... Although Xiaoyun's family is not a wealthy family, their parents have serious jobs, and your father is also a strong job. The two families know the bottom line and are in a good match. I think it's good for you to be together. The key is that you must be successful and stabilize your job quickly. Do you know?" My mother said to me earnestly.

"Mom, you're right!" I echoed.

My mother nodded and asked again: "Tell me quickly if I like Xiao Yun, do you want to have sex with her?"

"I think about it, why don't I think about it? Xiao Yun is very good. She is a girl who can live a life."

My mother said happily, "Okay, it's just that in the future, you and Xiao Yun work in the same company, and it's much more convenient to get along with each other. You have to seize the opportunity, do you know?"

"You just have a hundred and twenty hearts. I also want to get married quickly and then work harder to let your two elders hold a eldest grandson."

The future I described made my mother laugh so hard that she couldn't stop. But the father, who hadn't spoken, suddenly asked: "Zhaoyang, did that girl from Suzhou go back today?"

"Yeah, I left this morning."

Daddy Ban clicked and said after a while: "That's a good girl too."

I looked at Daddy Ban for no reason, but Daddy Ban said nothing. The advertisement was being broadcast on the TV. He picked up the remote control and changed to another station. His performance as if nothing had happened made me feel that I was thinking too much. Daddy Ban might have just sighed. In some ways, Mi Cai is indeed a good girl, but I always feel that her world is too unreal and the distance between us is too far away.

...

Go back to your room, light a cigarette as usual, and habitually think about life, love, and recent experiences.

At this moment, I believe that I have let go of Jian Wei, because I have entered another state of life in a subtle way. I long for a stable and simple love, and then after it comes naturally, I will turn this love into a marriage, and my blind date Li Xiaoyun is the most suitable candidate.

I think this kind of life is good, and the family is happy together. I don’t have to wander or go to the bar to relieve loneliness by dizziness after getting drunk.

Perhaps my choice to return to Xuzhou was the most correct decision I made in my life. This was God’s gift to me, allowing me, a man who should have been excellent, to return to the right path and realize the value of life in a complete family.

I suddenly thought of Mi Cai again, and my heart was vaguely painful. This pain made me realize that I was concerned about her, but I would rather understand this concern as sympathy, sympathy for her life experience, and sympathy for her current bad situation.

Only then did I remember to send her a message, caring about whether she had successfully returned to Suzhou.

It took a long time for Mi Cai to reply to me. The content is very simple, just two words "arrived"

I immediately returned to her: "I have been driving for so long today, so take a break early, don't be too tired!"

After waiting for a long time, Mi Cai did not respond, but I just fell asleep while waiting...

This night, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw the city hidden in the sky again. The city was still crystal clear. I also saw the woman with long hair hanging down her shoulders, but it only had a contour. I tried my best to approach her to see who she was, but even if I was running, I couldn't get close to her.

I shouted, "Who are you?"

"A woman in your heart."

"Since it's the woman in my heart, why can't I get close to you?"

"Because you don't understand what your heart wants."

I repeated her words, and before I could understand, I suddenly woke up and looked out the window. It was already light. Only then did I realize that what I had just experienced was just a dream, but I was happy because of this dream. This kind of joy almost didn't exist, so I instantly transformed into loss. Do I really don't understand what my heart really wants?

After sitting down and thinking for a long time, the phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and looked at it. It was Li Xiaoyun who called it.

I quickly answered the phone and greeted Li Xiaoyun, saying, "Good morning, Xiaoyun."

"Ash, Zhaoyang."

"Is there anything wrong with this early?"

"Did you forget that we agreed to send me your resume last night?"

I said apologetically: "Look at my memory, I'll get up and send you an email."

"Do you still remember the email address? I suspect you can't remember it."

I said awkwardly: "Don't mess with me like that, it's in my phone!"

Li Xiaoyun finally smiled and said, "Then you send it here quickly. Today I will hand it over to Director Zhou of the Planning Department. Let's try to implement your work as soon as possible."

"Thank you for being so worried!" I thanked from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm afraid you have no source of income, so I have to ask the girl to borrow money next time I go on a blind date." Li Xiaoyun laughed "haha".

I was speechless for a long time before sighing: "You are so detrimental to you!"

"It depends on who I am. If I don't maintain aggressiveness, I will probably be bullied by you in the future. Aunt Zhang said that you were not ordinary naughty when you were a child. Bullying girls is like a common occurrence!" Li Xiaoyun said with emotion.

I smiled and said, "I am very good to my girlfriend."

Li Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, as if she understood what I meant. After a while, she changed the topic and said, "It's getting late, I have to wash and eat first, and I have to go to work later."

"Then you can do it first."

"Well, remember to send me your resume."

After I responded, Li Xiaoyun hung up the phone. Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, I smiled and felt that Li Xiaoyun was really a very good girl. Suddenly, she had the urge to marry and have children, in this city that raised me.
