God Made Incompatibility - Chapter 36
In the evening of the second day, accompanied by the afterglow, laughing and singing all the way, all the teachers and students who traveled in the second year of high school returned to Ningwai. The research trip is over and life is back on track.
On the first day of returning to school, during the big class break, after supervising the exercise, in the high school office before class, several teachers had not yet fully recovered from the research trip, and were chatting with the teachers who had not been there about interesting things about the trip.
Meng Wanji was filling in the materials at the desk, and occasionally responding to them with a sentence or two, Yu Guang inevitably swept to Sheng Jinshu’s desk diagonally opposite.
Sheng Jinshu wasn’t there, and he didn’t see her when he went downstairs just before supervising the exercise.
Have you gone to class already? Meng Wanji was just astonished, and suddenly the colleagues exclaimed in unison in the office: “Wow! Teacher Sheng…”
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, and saw Sheng Jinshu wearing a skirt, a thin woolen coat, holding a large bouquet of delicately packaged and delicate blue and white roses, and walking into the office with spring breeze in her eyes .
Yi Hanshui didn’t answer, and said bluntly, “Which lucky suitor is this?”
Since the beginning of the school year, a lot of bouquets have been sent to the reception room and asked Sheng Jinshu to receive them, but few bouquets that can actually make Sheng Jinshu sign in the reception room.
Everyone’s eyes gradually gossip.
Sheng Jinshu said generously, “You guessed wrong.” She turned around, walked to her desk under Meng Wanji’s silent gaze, and placed the bouquet upright on Meng Wanji’s desk. Above: “Mr. Xiao Meng’s.”
She was serious: “I went to pick up the courier, and I saw Mr. Xiao Meng’s bouquet, and brought it for Mr. Xiao Meng by the way.”
“Wow! Who is this? What’s going on with Mr. Meng?” The people that everyone envied changed instantly, and the gossip was even more enthusiastic.
You must know that because of Meng Wanji’s family background and personality, almost all of the single male teachers and teachers who are willing to be matchmakers have no guts. The scandal about Meng Wanji is just a handful.
Meng Wanji’s body froze, and she asked Sheng Jinshu calmly with her eyes.
Sheng Jinshu winked at her slyly.
Meng Wanji was instantly determined.
This woman is really too bold and too reckless.
Her heart was pounding like a deer, secret joy and tension flooded her body, and she didn’t know how to respond to a colleague’s question all of a sudden.
But Sheng Jinshu was still fanning the flames like an outsider: “What’s the situation, Mr. Meng? There’s a card, open it and see?”
Most of the office’s eyes followed her words to a small card in the bouquet.
Meng Wanji bit her lip, glared at Sheng Jinshu, and was forced to stretch out her hand to open the card.
There was no sign on the card, but it read: “See you at Akashi 1971 Restaurant at 7pm on Friday?”
Sheng Jinshu was leaning on her desk halfway, joking irrelevantly: “Ask Teacher Xiaomeng for dinner…”
Meng Wanji’s ears were starting to heat up, and she felt ashamed to flirt with Sheng Jinshu in full view. She warned Sheng Jinshu with her eyes, suppressed her joy, and pretended to be calm: “I can’t go.”
Sheng Jinshu asked, “What’s wrong?”
Meng Wanji replied, “There are arrangements for Friday.”
Sheng Jinshu replied, “I don’t think she would mind on another day.”
The two were playing dumb puzzles, and Yi Han, who was eager to eat melons, suddenly interjected: “Yes, if you are sincere, what’s wrong with letting him wait for a day.”
Other teachers echoed: “Yes, let him wait, and don’t let him catch up too easily.”
Meng Wanji laughed. What do these people know? Just wait.
Sheng Jin’s bibliography looked at her gently.
Meng Wanji’s lips moved, but in the end she didn’t veto any more, she acquiesced.
Sheng Jinshu smiled brightly.
On Friday evening, Meng Wanji had no last class. After changing the water for the blue and white roses on her desk, she left Ningwai a little earlier and took Meng Chuyang’s car back to Meng’s house.
The eldest son of the Xu family, a family friend of the Meng family, came back from studying abroad, and Meng Shipei invited the whole family to dinner. Chi Ye was at home, and Meng Shipei asked Meng Wanji and Meng Chuyang to come back on purpose. On the surface, it was a show of respect, but in fact, the two sons of the Xu family were the same age as them. Get in touch and get along more.
Meng Chuyang was quite dissatisfied, and complained while driving: “It’s grand-sounding, and it’s a set of etiquette. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just letting us go back on a blind date?”
Meng Wanji got used to it and comforted in a low voice: “If you don’t like it, just pretend you don’t know. We’re just going back to have a meal.”
Meng Chuyang was helpless: “Sister… Dad is definitely going to rush you again.” She was okay, she didn’t like it anyway, and she didn’t care if I came here.
Meng Wanji’s heart was clouded with a faint cloud.
She avoided the important and said lightly: “And Chi Ye.”
Meng Chuyang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and laughed: “Finally, she can’t hide her unhappiness.”
Meng Wanji pressed her: “Don’t say that.”
Meng Chuyang continued to smile, pouted, and hummed, and did not say any more.
She was really annoying Chi Ye. In all fairness, Chi Ye didn’t actually treat her badly at first, but I don’t know if she thought she was not enthusiastic enough, or if she made her unhappy. It didn’t take long for Chi Ye to treat her lukewarm and strange. There were times when she was really angry, and she complained to Li Yuanshu, but Li Yuanshu didn’t believe her at all. In front of Li Yuanshu, Chi Ye is a little lamb, well-behaved and sensible, and even suffered a lot of grievances, she is the big bad wolf.
pissed her off.
Fortunately, my father was not completely insane, and the bowl of water was still flat.
During the rush hour, there was a traffic jam all the way. After 40 minutes, the lights were on, and the two of them could reach Meng’s house.
The Xu family had already arrived. Meng Shipei, Li Yuanshu, and Chi Ye were entertaining them in the hall. Meng Wanji and Meng Chuyang entered the door and greeted them politely and politely before sitting on the far side. feel.
But I don’t know if Meng Shipei was particularly satisfied with the eldest son of the Xu family or something else. He always mentioned Meng Wanji every now and then, comparing Meng Wanji with the eldest son of the Xu family.
Li Yuanshu and Chi Ye’s faces were no longer good-looking, Meng Wanji was sensible and excused that there was something to deal with temporarily, went out to make a phone call, and avoided the room.
Fifteen minutes later, when dinner began, she went downstairs again.
A dinner, on the surface, the guests enjoyed it. Meng Wanji only ate the most recent dishes and was not full; the more Chi Ye ate, the more silent he became. Meng Wanji didn’t know whether the two sons of the Xu family, who were frequently looked after by their parents, were eating well.
She only glanced at each other during the first greeting.
The Xu family resigned, and the Meng family saw off the guests. The parents on both sides said that the juniors still need to move around and communicate more in the future. Meng Wanji noticed that there was a line of sight on her from the opposite side, and lowered her eyes, pretending not to notice.
Meng Shipei went back to the study to take a rest after seeing off the guests, and asked Meng Wanji to go upstairs to chat together.
Meng Wanji followed the door, Meng Shipei sat down and asked with a smile, “How is Xu Zhaozheng?”
Meng Wanji paused for a moment when she was about to take her seat, and then answered after two seconds, “It’s good.”
Meng Shipei looked very satisfied and said, “He looks like a talented person, he speaks well, and he has a good education and family background. Dad thinks that this young man has a lot to do. Xiao Ji, Dad, do you want to help you connect with him?”
Meng Wanji’s nerves froze.
What should come will still come.
She knew that as long as she nodded as usual, chatted with the other party on WeChat, met once or twice, and then said it was inappropriate, in the end nothing would happen.
But this time, she couldn’t nod her head.
Her mind was full of Sheng Jinshu’s amorous face, smiling eyes, and that night, when she hugged and kissed her, she was gentle and amazing.
She said she liked her.
She said she could wait for her.
She also said that she doesn’t have to pretend all the time and can be her own.
Meng Wanji unconsciously clenched her hands and looked at Meng Shipei.
Meng Shipei was full of expectation and kindness.
Meng Wanji’s throat moved, and she finally squeezed out, “Dad, I… don’t want to.”
This is the first time she has rejected Meng Shipei’s introduction, and it is also the introduction by Meng Shipei himself.
Meng Shipei’s smile faded.
He stared at Meng Wanji, his eyes sank, and he asked unhappily, “Are you afraid that your mother and Chi Ye will be unhappy.”
He could see that Chi Ye also admired the boy. But the boy obviously liked Meng Wanji more. After she entered the door, his eyes never fell on Chi Ye again.
Meng Wanji responded with difficulty: “No.”
“What’s the matter?” Meng Shipei asked.
Meng Wanji’s heart seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, and she did not dare to look up at Meng Shipei.
Meng Shipei called her in a solemn tone: “Xiao Ji, look up at me.”
Meng Wanji’s knuckles clenched painfully, so she gathered up her courage and looked up at him. Her throat moistened and moistened, and she said her final refusal: “Dad… I’m not ready yet. For the past two years, I don’t want to think about love.”
Meng Shipei looked at her in astonishment.
Meng Wanji sat upright, motionless, as if awaiting trial.
Meng Shipei suddenly felt distressed and annoyed in his heart.
What’s up with this?
Has she been forced to accept blind date introductions with such a mood all this time?
He looked dignified, and after a long while, he sighed deeply and said, “Dad introduced you to someone just hoping that you can meet someone you like soon, and you can rely on one more person in your future life, and one more person to love you. you love you.”
“I thought the earlier, the more choices would be available.”
“But the thoughts of your young people now, our older generation can’t understand and understand. If you really don’t want to, and really aren’t ready, then Dad won’t force you.”
Although he was disappointed, he didn’t force it. He just thought that Meng Wanji didn’t like the form of blind date, or maybe he just hadn’t met the right person yet.
Meng Wanji felt agitated and said, “I’m sorry.”
Meng Shipei’s face sank: “I’m sorry?” He frowned: “I’m just a little disappointed by what you just said. I’m really sorry for your words.”
Meng Wanji’s eyelashes trembled, at a loss.
Meng Shipei gave birth to pity again.
“You.” He sighed, not knowing what to say to her. Her overly sensible and restrained temperament, if only she could reconcile with Meng Chuyang’s arrogant temperament.
He didn’t say more, let go of this topic, and talked to her about other things.
At 9:30, Meng Shipei was about to catch a late-shift plane on a business trip. Meng Wanji sent him out, and then he made an excuse to take a taxi back to school.
She walked out of the Meng family’s mansion, and the chilly breeze from the courtyard was blowing on her face. Meng Wanji had lingering fears, but she still had a feeling of jumping out of the water and taking a breath.
It turns out that the hardest thing is to muster the courage.
She walked towards the door, clutching the collar of her shirt, thinking about Sheng Jinshu’s look at her wearing a cheongsam, and slowly unbuttoned a button.
The steps are getting faster and faster, and the steps are getting lighter.
Raised dust dances in the wind.
