Pei Cheng An: "I will tell her I have a girlfriend."

Xia Zhen: "and If she doesn't give up?"

Pei Cheng An: "I'll be dead in a few days."

Xia Zhen: " no way, I don't believe you."

Pei Cheng An: "This is the fact of more than ten years."

Xia Zhen was surprised. What does that mean?

She said: You sound very experienced. Tell me about it.

Pei Cheng An: " Ok."

***

On Sat.u.r.day, Xia Zhen had nowhere to go and spent a day in her home. When Ms. Tian, her mother, returned home from the supermarket in the afternoon, she began talking.

"I don't know what's going on lately. People everywhere want to get married to you. It's the fourth time this week someone introduced their son to me."

Xia Zhen, like an outsider, corrected her mother's use of words. "It's just your intention to get your daughter to meet her son. It's a long way from getting married. Mom, you don't have to go that far." 

"I'm trying to show you how good you are."

A daughter is popular, and being a mother, I'm bound to be proud.

"Well, what's the point?" Xia Zhen looks at her mother wearily.

Ms. Tian frowned and asked: "Is Pei Cheng An still working overtime every day? Is it really that busy? Does he not even have time for a meal?" Ms. Tian was not happy about this and she wondered whether he had deliberately made excuses to not meet. "If you don't want to keep going, it's no fun to hang people like that."

When Ms. Tian went to the dance these past few days, she saw Pei Cheng An's mother, so she asked her about him and his busy schedule.

Pei Cheng An's mother admitted that his work was like this, and he was often so busy that he didn't even have time to eat sometimes, and his work was far away. 

But she added that Pei Cheng An liked Xia Zhen very much, and even said that this was the first time her son liked a girl, which was absolutely true.

Ms. Tian usually sees her daughter talking to him on the phone, otherwise, she would have arranged for another blind date for her.

Speaking of Pei Cheng An, Xia Zhen sighed but immediately thought that he wanted to show his liking, so she smiled and happily said: "He'll have time tomorrow. He asked me to out."

"Go, go, if you don't think it's appropriate, then forget it, and go get a good one."

Another date or something? One time us enough, Xia Zhen doesn't want to do it again. So, she waved her hands, saying: "No, I think Pei Cheng An is really good, he's good-looking and good-tempered, and I like this kind of man. He might be the one I end up marking."

Mrs. Tian was suspicious, "do you really like him?"

Xia Zhen said, "Yes mother, I like him so much."

Ms. Tian is still a little skeptical. Xia Zhen can see that her mother did not believe her, but she sighed, "The time is still not ripe," hopefully, Pei Cheng An does not wors.h.i.+p her now.

"If I don't want to end it with him now, then what I have to do is to make him like me a little bit, right?" Xia Zhen felt rather helpless when she saw the paper on her desk filled with plans. The plan was revised a few times, but unfortunately, the results were not in line with her expectations.

"Sure enough, the ideal is very nice, and the reality is not as expected."

Xia Zhen posted the sentence on Weibo and attached a sketch she had just drawn, of um, two girls, a skinny one called ideal and a plump one called reality.

Da Qu quickly replied: "Looking at these two pictures, I suddenly feel life is dark."

Xia Zhen replied back: "Seeing your reply, I think so too."

It's(life) really dark. She feels like she's going to get moldy if she doesn't go out. That's when Day Qu called and asked if she was too idle.

Friends who have known each other for a long time are different and can easily guess how the other feels (guess each other's mood).

"I'm bored to death."

"Where's your boyfriend?"

"Work."

"Come on, come on, Come out and play."

"Okay."

Da Qu is now in a recently popular bar, and he's heard it's got a great band, so he came to see. 

When Xia Zhen arrived, she saw only him and asked: "Where are they?"

"None of them are free."

"What about Xue Chen?"

"He's changed recently and he's gone back to his company to help, and alas, the Cabbage Band may be about to disband."

The news surprised Xia Zhen. The Xue Family's company has grown well in recent years and expanded considerably, but Xue Chen has no interest in doing business and he only likes music. He was approached by someone who wanted him to produce a record, but his family objected. He came into contact and found the entertainment world as chaotic as it was rumored and gave up. His father spoke to him and they agreed that he could do whatever he wanted before he was 30, but his family wouldn't give him any money, and when he turned 30, he had to go back to the company honestly.

Xue Chen is only 26 years old this year.
