Days after Breaking up with My Ex

Chapter 8 : Aren't You Going to Treat Me to Dinner?

As soon as I heard it, I knew what my mother was trying to say. I knew her too well. After all these years as a teacher, she was really eloquent, but as her son, I was not weak. I said perfunctorily as I ate, "Mom, mom, I know, I know."

My mother had no choice but to interrupt me and say, "Xing Yun, listen to me."

"There's nothing to say." I whispered.

"You have to listen if you don't. He's from the city, and he's a college student. He's very good-looking. If you don't believe me, meet him." My mother used stress on me, but I was already immune.

"I can't believe it." I smiled shamelessly at my mother.

"I have to see the letter too!" My mother looked like she had no choice but to say angrily, "This time, you have to see it, you have to see it."

It seems that my mother was really pushed into a hurry, and now she actually wants to use force. Looking at her appearance, I am also a little scared. It seems that I can't hide this time.

"See you! See you! All right." I was afraid that my mother would get sick again, so I would be too unfilial. I had been delayed for a year, and now I can't find any reason to disappear.

"When?" My mother stared at me, as if afraid that I would go back on my word.

I thought about it. I'll pay Ding Ge back. We'll have nothing to do with each other in the future. So he replied, "Wait a few days."

"Hmph." My mother said angrily, "I think you just don't want to see each other, do you? In a few days, in a few days, after the first day of the new year, there's still fifteen. Needless to say, ten days and a half months will pass. Xing Yun, do you know how old you are? Your age is old in our countryside, and it's not small in the city. Tell me when you plan to get married, right?"

"Mom, this has to be done step by step." I held the rice in the bowl guiltily.

"This is not the first step. You can set a date. When will you meet the girl?" My mother looked at me with unwavering determination.

"Then... Next sunday."

When my mother heard this, she quickly put down the chopsticks and bowls. The bowls and tables made a dull sound, and the chopsticks and bowls also made a crisp sound. She yelled at me, "Next sunday, you... What are you going to do these days? Can't you spare time to meet me? Are you busy with the prime minister?"

As soon as I saw my mother's movements, I hurriedly shoved the chopsticks into my mother's hand and said, "Eat and eat." At the same time, he picked up some food for my mother and said with a cheeky smile, "Mom, don't worry. I will definitely go if I say so."

"Then why are you so late? What do you want to do these days?" My mother asked relentlessly.

Mom, don't ask. I'll go if I say so. I promise you, okay?" I kept trying to coax my mother.

At this time, my father also said, "Okay, you don't have to force him. He also said to go, give him some time."

My mother finally calmed down and said, "You can say that."

"Yes, I said it, I said it."

Finally, that was the way to get rid of my mother.

I understand that sooner or later, I will not be able to avoid this blind date. I have no strength to take the initiative to fall in love again, but even for my parents, I will get married. In this world, people really can't just live for themselves. I can't be so selfish. If I don't get married, my parents will go crazy!

After dinner, my mom went to wash the pot. My dad was watching tv in the living room. I hid in my room and played with my computer.

Because I knew that it would inevitably be an extension of this topic later on, and I really wasn't in the mood to discuss it with them, and I didn't want to make them angry, so I simply locked myself in the room.

Life is not a drama, and most of us are far less affectionate than the characters in movies and tv dramas. Perhaps we once believed that we would never fall in love with another person after we fell in love, but in the future, when we fall in a new relationship, we will still love each other to death.

There is never a lack of promises in life. Maybe there are too many promises, and promises are not promises. No one will be foolish enough to wait for you for a few years, no one will marry you or not.

We have to be realistic because we live in reality!

Not long after, my mother walked in. She put her things on the computer table and said, "This is a picture of that girl."

I glanced at it, but now I couldn't see the photo. It was still in a paper bag.

My mother added, "This girl is one year younger than you. Her name is..."

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a great sadness in my heart. I can't tell why. Maybe I was too resistant to blind dates. I put my right hand on my temple and pleaded, "Mom, I really don't want to hear it now."

I didn't dare to look at my mother, because I was afraid to see her disappointed expression, but I really needed a process of relaxation.

My mother didn't use a forceful attitude to talk to me. She just sighed and said to me with a slight sob, "Xing Yun, actually... If possible, I still want Ge Ge to be our daughter-in-law."

Ever since I broke up with Ding Ge, my parents rarely mentioned Ding Ge in front of me. I know they were afraid that I would be sad, but now they are taking the initiative to listen to my mother. I know that she is also very sorry for me and Ding Ge.

I gritted my teeth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Son, why don't you and Ge Ge make up..."

I interrupted my mother, pressed my middle finger between my eyebrows and whispered, "Mom, stop it. Blind date, I will go."

"Hey! Silly child." My mother's eyes were red and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

I know my dad and mom understand me well, or else they wouldn't have allowed me to go on a blind date for a year.

However, now that I have nothing, what right do I have to provoke girls? Is anyone willing to go on a blind date with someone like me?

I don't even think highly of myself!

So I didn't really care about it. I didn't even look at the picture of that woman, so I put it in the drawer.

I didn't mean to disappoint my mother, but I think the chances of the other party hitting me are too slim, just like the chances of winning the lottery.

My mother said a few more words and went out. She couldn't help but wipe her tears.

My parents love me enough, so I have to go on this blind date.

But for the rest of these days, can I promise to forget about Ding Ge and go on a blind date with another girl?

I know, I always knew that I had to let go of my past relationship. It took me a year to do it, but I didn't know how long it would take.

At night, I lay in bed, thinking back to the past year, a year that I had completely wasted. After I broke up with Ding Ge, I drank so many nights that I was unconscious that I woke up at noon the next day.

I lived in a daze, unable to tell the difference between day and night. Sometimes I even forgot to' hungry' and didn't know when to eat. It seemed that eating was not to fill my stomach, but just to eat.

I didn't do anything meaningful. I was like a vegetable who couldn't think or feel anything. I lived like a dead person.

But I really can't go on like this!

So, I think what I need most now is to change my life.

Change yourself!

Even if I can't forget Ding Ge for the time being, I can only put her at the bottom of my heart.

At present, the most important thing is to find a job first. Without a job, even if I go on a blind date a hundred times, no one will like me!

In the past, I didn't care about money at all. I didn't know how much money I earned, so I took my friends to eat, drink and have fun. And many of the jobs I did were not long enough to save up for a few years.

After spending time with Ding Ge, she realized the importance of money and became much more sensible. Her life had changed drastically from before, knowing that she was thrifty, saving money, and thinking about the future.

But I don't have much ability and education. It's not easy for me to find a job.

Basically, I'm the only one who wants to graduate with a bachelor's degree or something, and I don't want to do the rest, and some of them have poor wages. I'm getting more and more disappointed every day. According to this trend, I think I'll have to move bricks to the construction site sooner or later.

Time was like running water, and soon it was time for my blind date.

I want to return the money I owe Ding Ge a day in advance, and we will never have anything to do with each other again.

That day, I used my new phone number to send a text message to dinger saying that you should send your bank card number. I'll call you the money and finally call my name, because I haven't contacted her with this new number yet. She doesn't know it's me.

Actually, I wanted to call her, but the more I wanted to, the less I dared to. I was still afraid to hear her voice, so I just sent her a text message.

Ding Ge didn't answer me immediately. Maybe he was busy. Or is she not willing to talk to me? The last time we parted at the station, she was very angry, but did it take so long?

I'm a little down.

After such a long break up, my heart is still as sensitive as before. I don't want to make dinger angry. I don't want to make her unhappy. When two people are angry, I can't help but apologize to her. When I see her crying and sad, my heart is more sad than hers.

If she was really angry with me, I would definitely apologize to her.

But what's the use of apologizing? When I broke up with you, I said I was sorry, but did the pain in Ding Ge's heart decrease by half?

After a long time, Ding Ge finally recovered the message, and I quickly opened it excitedly.

I helped you so much, didn't you say you would treat me to dinner?

I thought Ding Ge didn't want to see me again, but I didn't expect her to send such a message!

Ding Ge's tone seemed relaxed, but I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Should I meet her again? But what Ding Ge said was reasonable. She really helped me a lot. It was too reasonable for me to treat her to a meal.

Shall we see each other for the last time?
