Chapter 12 Invitation
After Fang Ran left, Ding Yi called his family. Sure enough, Grandpa had already finished watching the play.
He said a few words to his grandfather, saying that he would not come back to bed if he had something to do at night. Grandpa didn't ask him much, so he hung up the phone after a few words.
After the phone call, Ding Yi's spirit came up again, but he was not sleepy. He lay in **, picked up the remote control, and changed the stage at will.
A channel is broadcasting the program of the model competition.
Looking at the model walking on TV, he suddenly thought of Xie Wei.
What was she doing at this time? Are you home alone? Or are you with your boyfriend? Does she have a boyfriend?
Ding Yi has been thinking about this question.
He remembered the determination he had made and what he had said to himself, and he couldn't help repeating it again in his heart: "Readers, please, in order to witness: I must catch up with Xie Wei - if I can't catch it, - I will immediately despise the author."
Ding Yi thought that since the author has arranged him as the first and only hero, he should take good care of him and regard his Ding Yi's affairs as his own business, so that he is a responsible author.
So if Ding Yi can't catch up with Xie Wei, he will naturally despise the author and take it for granted.
After lingering with Fang Ran, Ding Yi was repeatedly thinking about whether the decision he had to catch up with Xie Wei was correct and whether he could stand the test of his conscience.
Fang Ran is so kind to him. If he betrays her, he will be too sorry for her.
But Xie Wei's figure lingered in Ding Yi's mind.
He had also hesitated before and felt that he should not betray Fang Ran, but Xie Wei's imprint in his heart could not be erased. After fighting in his heart for a long time, after he and Fang Ran left, his idea was settled - if you don't chase Xie Wei, you are sorry for yourself. It's right to chase Xie Wei. For Ding Yi, it's better to be sorry for yourself than to be sorry for Fang Ran.
He remembered the famous saying that Brother Cao said thousands of years ago: I would rather betray the world than the people of the world. Ding Yi went to chase Xie Wei, but only Fang Ran was defeated. The rest of the world did not live up to it. Compared with Brother Cao, Ding Yi was more than many times better, so he felt that he should still feel at ease.
But many years of traditional ideas have been in his heart for so many years, just like the remnants of feudalism. How can it be easily eliminated at once? Therefore, there is a revolution in the depths of his soul, and he is fighting fiercely.
"I still can't do this. I'm not a casual person. How can I have a girlfriend and casually pick up other girls? Just delete her number. Ding Yi picked up his mobile phone, looked through it, and finally found Xie Wei's number.
Did you delete it? He hesitated.
I'm not a casual person, so I can't delete other people's mobile phone numbers casually. In that way, it's a person who deletes a random number, that is, a casual person. Besides, it's impolite to delete people's numbers randomly.
He found himself a high-sounding excuse, shook his head with relief, denied his impulse to delete her number, and put down his mobile phone.
After he found Xie Wei's number, he not only did not delete it, but also had the impulse to call her.
"After Fang Ran goes back in the evening, she should not call again. She usually sends a text message to say that she has arrived home safely. So I'm free tonight. Do you want to call her and ask her out?
He looked at his watch and it was past twelve o'clock at night. Maybe Xie Wei has fallen asleep. Besides, isn't it a little abrupt to call so late?
Finally, he made up his mind to put his mobile phone aside.
For the sake of Fang Ran, at least I won't call her today. Look, I'm not a casual person.
Do you want to call tomorrow? Tomorrow? Let's talk about it tomorrow.
He didn't care whether the idea was a little self-deception. After watching TV for a while, he fell asleep with peace of mind.
Ding Yi didn't wake up until after nine o'clock in the morning. He lingered for a while before he finished washing in the bathroom.
Fang Ran should have classes in school now. She is now a junior and has a lot of classes to take. Far from being as leisurely as myself, I have nothing to do all day these days, which is also boring.
It's so late, the buffet breakfast provided by the hotel should be over, and I have to find somewhere outside for breakfast first. Ding Yi looked around and found that nothing had been left behind, so he closed the door, took the elevator downstairs, and came to the front desk to check out.
While waiting for the waiter on the floor to check the room, Ding Yi sat on the sofa in the lobby and remembered the problem yesterday.
Call Xie Wei right away? She may be at work or free. She said that her work is very free and she has a lot of free time.
He was at school during the day and would not disturb him. Ding Yi felt that today was an opportunity. If Xie Wei is free, maybe she can invite her to lunch.
While thinking about it, the phone at the front desk rang. It was the floor waiter who informed the front desk that the room had been checked. In addition to using ten sets, a bottle of divine oil and a set of body lotion, there was nothing else. Deduct the money from the deposit and you can pay the bill.
"Wow, ten condoms are simply a god... Did he blow the condom big at night as a balloon?" Ding Yi heard the ladies whispered in surprise and looked at Ding Yi with admiration.
In order to set off Ding Yi's tall image, the author deliberately distorted the facts and increased the number of self-service small goods in the hotel rooms several times. He simply regarded the guest room as a set of vending machines. It can be seen that Ding Yi's image can distort the facts, and he really takes good care of Ding Yi.
Ding Yi turned a blind eye to the ambiguous and envious eyes of the young lady, and he settled the bill as if nothing had happened.
Look, I'm not a casual person. Ding Yi praised himself in his heart.
In fact, Ding Yi knows that these ladies of the main station are just some tricks in this work. Besides, their grades are more than one grade worse than Fang Ran. How can he be casual to them? So in front of them, he is naturally not a casual person.
Ding Yi put the deposit he found for him in his wallet and walked out of the hotel. Out of the hotel gate, he took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed Xie Wei's number.
From the time he dialed this call, Ding Yi gradually began to change from a person who was not casual to a person, so the moment he made the phone call was an important historical moment in this book.
The phone was connected, and the music of the ringtone came, "You are a beautiful dog tail flower, ah, ah, ah, it's a really beautiful dog tail flower..." The music sounded for a while.
Listening to the music waiting to be connected, Ding Yi suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart. He even hoped that Xie Wei would not answer the phone.
This is different from his usual style. When will Ding Yi be nervous about the girl? But when he called Xie Wei, his heart beat slightly. It seemed that the impression left by Xie Wei was indeed different from that of other girls.
The phone was finally connected, and a girl's lazy voice came: "Hello, who is it?"
It sounds like she hasn't got up yet. Maybe my phone woke her up. Ding Yi thought.
Ding Yi cleared his throat: "Xie Wei? I'm Ding Yi.
Obviously, Xie Wei still remembers what happened yesterday. She suddenly realized that it was the boy who called yesterday, and her tone seemed to unconsciously improve a little: "It's you, hello, hello."
"You weren't late for your date yesterday, were you?" You can't tell her that you want to invite her to dinner as soon as you open your mouth, so Ding Yi plans to chat with her first.
"No. Thank you for taking me on this journey yesterday. You are really the living Lei Feng of the new era. Xie Wei replied.
"It's okay. It's just a small matter. You're welcome. I learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds every day. I'm used to doing it. If I don't do good things one day, I will be weak all over, insomnia, night sweats, dizziness, menstruation... Oh, no, I can often do 30 good things in a month, an average one a day, so you don't thank me. If you want to thank our great motherland for cultivating a good young man like me... You are now "Are you at work?"
He knew that he had nothing to say. No matter who he heard Xie Wei's voice just answering the phone, he knew that she hadn't got up yet.
Sure enough, Xie Wei's answer was negative. No, I have nothing to do today, so I didn't go to the company. I went to bed late yesterday, and I haven't got up yet.
It seems that her nightlife is also quite rich. Maybe she really has a boyfriend. If she has a boyfriend, will she give up?
But no matter what, since the phone has been made, you can't give up halfway.
"Are you all right at noon today? I'll treat you to dinner." Ding Yi sent an invitation.
At this time, his thoughts are a little complicated. He hopes that Xie Wei will accept his invitation, but also hopes that Xie Wei will give him a rejection answer.
If Xie Wei refuses, or even directly tells him that she already has a boyfriend, then she doesn't have to suffer from this conscience - she already has a girlfriend and wants to chase another girl. If Fang Ran knows, he doesn't know how to face Fang Ran.
But if Xie Wei really refuses him, his heart must be full of disappointment. After all, he has feelings for Xie Wei, and this feeling is something that other girls can't bring to him, including Fang Ran.
If she hesitates and gently refuses, maybe she won't call her in the future.
After all, Ding Yi has never been a casual person and has become a person who is not a human being. At present, he is in the initial stage. For him, this is an epoch-making change. In his heart, the old-fashioned inertia is very large. Once he encounters a setback, it is easy to retreat. The trend of "just getting up casually is not a human" will be directly strangled in the cradle by a rejected answer, so Xie Wei's answer is very important.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wei readily agreed to his invitation.
"Okay, I'm fine at noon. Where are we going to eat?" It sounds like her voice is quite happy. It seems that she really likes Ding Yi.
Ding Yi was relieved that he thought something was very complicated and could be done so easily. In his original idea, he thought that Xie Wei would refuse him or ask for a change of date, but she directly agreed, which was unexpected.
At this time, Ding Yizhen hadn't figured out where to eat, so he said to her, "Whatever." Where do you usually eat? Or you can talk about a place."
Xie Wei thought about it for a while. I said the name of a restaurant called "It's so spicy". Ding Yi knows that this restaurant is a Sichuan restaurant. He and Fang Ran have eaten there. The environment is not bad, the price is not high, and the taste of the dishes is very good, and the spicy and authentic.
"Okay, shall I pick you up? Where are you now? Ding Yi asked.
"No need. The place where I live is very close to there. I can go there by myself. It's very convenient.
"All right." Ding Yi looked at his watch. It was ten minutes past ten. He calculated the time, found a place to have breakfast, and then drove out the car. It should be too late. Then it's twelve o'clock sharp. I'll wait for you at the door."
When Ding Yi arrived home, his grandfather was singing in the living room with several playmates, erhu, gongs and drums, and other musical instruments. Ding Yi couldn't say what these instruments were called.
Before I entered the house, I heard my grandfather's singing. Ding Yi has also seen Grandpa sing a play before. He sings with both emotions and is more or less demeanor. In the words of their actors, he has a certain professional level.
The house is jingling. It's very lively. It's almost time to catch up with the theater.
Ding Yi is not interested in the traditional operas of the motherland at all. But now that I'm back, I can't go out in the garage. I still have to tell my grandfather and say hello to his playmates.
When he entered the door, Grandpa just finished singing a paragraph, "If you don't listen to me - see if I don't get your buttocks open - red - red, uh-huh, hey..." After singing, he put on a powerful POSE, watched him come in, took the POSE, and asked him, "Are you back?"
Ding Yi nodded and said yes. Fortunately, Grandpa was just singing, just singing, which could not be true. If it is really like life, I'm afraid my buttocks will be as red as the red light at the intersection, which is extremely unfavorable to the image of the first and only hero in this book. I sighed for a while and then greeted my grandfather's actors. There are still a lot of people, six or seven. Some are called grandpa, some are called grandma, some are called uncle, and some are called aunt.
Among the people present, the youngest one is also in his fifties. Only he is the youngest. Even if he wants to find a brother and sister, he can't find it.
"Is this your grandson? So big? Are you working?" The seniors are full of interest in Ding Yi.
Some female seniors directly praised Ding Yi's appearance, and some people said that they would introduce him to a girlfriend. Lao Ding, your grandson is so handsome. Have you made friends? I know a girl. It's very good."
Ding Yi's grandfather blocked for him. He has a girlfriend. He came to my house. He is a very good girl. He is a classmate with him.
"Such a handsome child, his friends must be very beautiful, right? When will you bring it to us?"
"Lao Ding, you must invite us to a wedding wine when your grandson has a wedding."
The face suddenly became lively.
Ding Yi can't stand this kind of warm and considerate situation. If he doesn't leave, it seems that he has to be cared about.
"Grandpa, I have something else to do. I'm going out soon. Sing slowly."
Knowing that his grandson was a busy person, he was haunted all day long. Grandpa didn't say anything, but asked him if he would come back for lunch.
"I won't be back at noon. I'm eating out. If you don't come back in the evening, I'll call home. Ding Yi replied.
I hired a part-time worker at home to be responsible for cleaning, cooking and other things. If he doesn't come back at night, Ding Yi usually makes a phone call, and he can also cook less so as not to waste it.
Although his family is very good, Ding Yi's grandfather is not a wasteful person.
Ding Yi said hello to his predecessors and turned around and went out. He thought that if it was in ancient times, it would be necessary for the group to make a bow and say, "Seniors, talk slowly, and the younger generation will leave--" The word "the" will have to be lengthen by at least three eight beats.
It seems that I'm going crazy when I listen to the play.
When he went out, he also heard someone behind him suggesting to his grandfather: "Lao Ding, you can also teach your grandson to sing. Seeing that he is so smart, he must be able to learn it."
This is the most creative suggestion Ding Yi has ever heard.
Fortunately, Grandpa knows his interests and never forces him. He will definitely not accept this suggestion. If Grandpa is a stubborn person who has seen him and has to force Ding Yi to learn to play, Ding Yi will definitely go downstairs of the person who made this suggestion every day and have figured out the time period - after twelve o'clock in the evening, before six o'clock in the morning, go to sing happily.
In return for the kindness of this person's acquaintance, Bole's eyes.
However, this way is easy to accidentally hurt good people, so it is very easy to be subjected to the irrigation of foot washing water, the attack of watermelon peel, and the harassment of beer bottles by the residents upstairs. Ding Yi does not consider this possible consequences.
