Chapter 76 Dating

Zhao Guangshui stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself back and forth for a while, and asked Lian Keqin a little unsure: "Sister Lian, do you think it's okay for me to wear this?"

Lian Keqin was reading a book with his glasses on. Hearing the sound, he raised his head, glanced at her, nodded casually, and said, "Yeah, it's pretty pretty."

……

Sister Lian seems like the kind of perfunctory straight man.

"You don't look good at all..."

Zhao Guangshui accused her in a low voice.

Lian Keqin had nothing to do with her, sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, put the book aside, sat upright, and expressed that he had a good look at her now:

"Understood, I'll take a look."

The girl wore a dark blue long dress today, a very simple style, with a fair and beautiful collarbone, a slender and flexible waist, and a snow-white calf exposed under the skirt, youthful and well-behaved.

Looks great, no issues.Then what she just said is right, why does she want her to read it again?

With Zhao Guangshui's face and figure, she thought she would look good wearing a sack.

Lian Keqin tried his best to put on his most sincere face, and said, "Very beautiful, Miss Zhao."

"Um……"

Zhao Guangshui pinched the hem of the skirt, hesitated and said softly, "Don't you think my skirt is a little...too long?"

Lian Keqin was stunned for a moment, and before he could figure out what this sentence meant, he saw the girl in front of him suddenly blushing.

"..."

Lian Keqin had nothing to say, she was so blessed that she understood Zhao Guangshui's subtext.The older woman rubbed her sore neck helplessly, and said, "You don't want to wear a shorter skirt to seduce Tan Mingli, do you?"

But Zhao Guangshui's shortest skirt is also below the knees.It seems that there is no other choice.

Zhao Guangshui's face became redder, and he was really ashamed by the woman's casual words. He lowered his face and pursed his lips unnaturally:

"You can't say it's... seduction, it's just, it's always a first date, I think..."

Lian Keqin glanced at her speechlessly, picked up the book again, continued to read ten lines at a glance, and joked casually: "Then you should cut the skirt short."

Please, if Tan Mingli is unhappy because Xiao Shui's skirt is not short enough, then in her opinion, it's better not to talk to Tan Mingli as soon as possible.

Although she didn't like Tan Mingli very much, the well-known Tan parents and daughters would not be as vulgar and impatient as those men with no taste, opening their mouths and saying "Baby, look at the legs".

Hey, why are you so innocent? Didn't you just fall in love, hesitating and awkward.

It's better to fast-forward to marriage with one click, let Tan Mingli take Xiaoshui away quickly, so that Zhao Guangshui won't ask her shyly and nervously in front of her all day, "What do you think elder sister Li likes about me?"

She is already in her 30s, and she is forced to watch a young girl in love flirting with someone else. What is going on?

He also needs to be a love coach, to enlighten, to instruct, and now he has added a new job: to help Zhao Guangshui choose the clothes to wear on the date.

Lian Keqin's email to Zhao Zhihua specifically stated that he needed a salary increase, such as mental damage compensation.

Zhao Guangshui was about to go out at last, Lian Keqin watched her put on her shoes, and asked with some concern:

"Hey, Miss Zhao, remember not to go back with her, send me a message after the date, and I'll pick you up."

After finishing speaking, he felt that Zhao Guangshui would not listen to her, sighed again with a headache, and waved his hands, "If I really go back with her, remember not to stay overnight..."

You won't be coaxed directly to the bed, will you?

Zhao Guangshui said briskly "Yeah!", pushed the door open and was about to leave, then stopped suddenly, turned around, stood on tiptoes and gently hugged the woman, and said softly:

"Thank you, Sister Lian, for your concern. I know all about it. It's okay."

"Goodbye, Sister Lian!"

She smiled and waved to Lian Keqin.

The girl finally left, and the house fell silent.

Lian Keqin sat down to read the book again, and after a long while in a daze, he realized that the book he was holding was turned upside down.Didn't read half a word into my head.

She sighed, and decided not to do any useless work, and put the book aside casually.

Ugh.

I always feel that I seem to have raised a daughter for Zhao Dong.

It is still the kind that has just been raised with great difficulty and is about to get married in the end.

Tan Mingli looked at the mirror seriously, pinched the lipstick to draw out the lip line, looked at the face in the mirror, and felt that she looked pretty good.

Sprayed a little perfume, which was rare, and specially wore jewelry and earrings.

There was a faint sweetness in her heart.

Today she has a date with Xiao Shui, and they will go to the aquarium to watch whales together.

Speaking of which, this was the first official date between her and Xiao Shui.

The one who went to the botanical garden last year can't be counted. At that time, they didn't communicate with each other, so it can only be regarded as...the elder took the younger generation out to play?

And that date couldn't be said to be a very pleasant date, she had to leave the meeting early because of the Tan family's affairs, and in the end she didn't even eat, leaving Xiao Shui there alone.

Of course it can't be like last time.

She wanted to give Xiao Shui a good memory.

Tan Mingli packed up her things and walked outside the company.She left work early today to meet Xiao Shui.

Just after leaving the company, I met Fisher Fish. He also just came out of Tan's and was preparing to pick up his car in the garage.

He saw Tan Mingli from a distance, laughed in surprise, and waved to her: "Hey! Mingli!"

Tan Mingli also saw him, walked over, and said with a smile: "Fisher, why did you come to Tan's? Why didn't you come to me when you came here?"

Fisher Yu touched his head in embarrassment, and then said:

"Recently, my company has a plan to discuss with you Tan, so it is inevitable that we have more contacts... As for why I didn't come to you, it's because I don't want to disturb you. After all, you are very busy recently."

"Alright."

It was very busy some time ago, but I have been free recently.Tan Mingli shook her head with a smile, "I still have time to meet old friends."

"Oh, Mingli, you seem to be very well dressed today!"

It was only then that Fisher fish noticed that her makeup today was more delicate than usual, and her clothes had also been specially changed, not the style she usually wears in office.He smiled and winked at Tan Mingli, lowered his voice, and asked, "Is there any important appointment?"

Tan Mingli was already beautiful, but she never cared much about her appearance. She usually dressed simply and decently, and didn't know how to dress herself up very well.

It seems to be the first time that I have done makeup and matching jewelry so solemnly and seriously today, except for attending dinner parties and other events.

"is it?"

Tan Mingli felt a little embarrassed when her old friend punctured her mind, but she didn't hold back. She admitted with a big smile, "I have a... very important date today, so I dressed up specially."

"really?"

Fisher Fish suddenly laughed in surprise, sincerely happy for his good friend, "That's good, that's good, Mingli, I'm glad you've tasted the sweetness of love again!"

He looked at Tan Mingli carefully again, and said with a smile, "Oh, my dear Li, you look very different from a while ago..."

He added thoughtfully, "Simply—glory. Is this the power of love?"

Tan Mingli didn't realize that she was radiant, she just felt that she was indeed much more energetic during this time than before.

Just chatting with Xiao Shui and listening to the girl's voice every day, she already feels very satisfied and cured.

She raised her hand, hooked her long hair behind her ears, and said softly and helplessly, "Okay, Fisher, stop making fun of me. In fact, I haven't been officially with her yet..."

Fisher fish fell down and began to be surprised.

He opened his gray-blue eyes and asked in confusion: "Not yet? It seems that the man you like is not very brave, he seems a little too shy."

Hearing his sincere evaluation, Tan Mingli couldn't help smiling, his shallow pupils turned, and with a narrow smile, he said softly:

"I didn't say it was a man either."

"what?"

Fisher Fish was really stunned.He tasted the meaning of her words, looked at the smiling and gentle woman in front of him, and opened his eyes in shock as if he couldn't understand Chinese after a long time.

"Oh, oh, Mingli..."

He looked extremely shocked, and his expression even looked a little funny. He subconsciously said a few words in English with emotion, and then realized that something was wrong. After turning around in place a few times, he became calmer and said in Chinese, "Then, Mingli, Are you dating a woman now?"

Tan Mingli smiled and nodded, admitting his guess.

"Wow, this is really..."

Fisher Fish looked at her with emotion, "Mingli, you always surprise me so much."

"Fisher, are you homophobic? I remember that we didn't have mutual friends who married the same sex. Why are you so surprised? I thought you were very open-minded about this."

Tan Mingli laughed and teased him.

"No, no, Mingli, of course I'm not homophobic, and I'm not a Christian."

Fisher fish quickly explained, and then said dumbfounded, "I just...uh...you know, I didn't expect you to like women. You know, you look, very..."

"Pretty straight, right?"

Tan Mingli took his words and responded with a smile.

"Correct."

Fisher fish nodded quickly.

Tan Mingli lowered her eyes and said softly, "Actually... I was also surprised at first. But it's not because she is a woman, but because she is very young, Fisher. Very young, she has just grown up."

Just coming of age?

That means she is ten years younger than Mingli?

Fisher Fish was stunned when he heard this.

"And she's my friend's daughter, and she's staying with me for a while because she's going to college."

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Fisher Fish with a gentle and calm expression.

"I know you may have some opinions...or something else," Tan Mingli looked at the man in front of him with a vaguely surprised and disapproving expression, and said softly sincerely, "But please believe me, Fisher , I have thought about the various factors and inadequacies that you have considered thousands of times in my heart, and those things that you do not agree with me have also made me feel the pain of conscience countless times."

"But, I just..."

The beautiful and dignified woman showed some confusion for the first time, and her tone was as light as a sigh that would go away with the wind.

"I just can't help it."

she said softly.

"I endured my feelings for her for a long time, and I also rejected her several times, personally broke her expectations, pushed her away, said I didn't like her, and we even separated for a long time."

"However, I gradually found that I couldn't accept it, couldn't accept that she really left me, really forgot me, and couldn't accept that she liked others and was with someone who wasn't me."

Tan Mingli lowered her eyes and said softly, "I just can't... can't accept that she doesn't belong to me. Can you understand me, Fisher? Can you understand this feeling?"

Her eyelashes were trembling slightly.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't understand me."

She was silent for a while, then spoke again suddenly.

"Maybe you think I'm a low moral guy, but that's okay, I accept all your doubts. I deserve it."

She raised her face again and looked directly at Fisher Fish gently, "Since the day I decided to pursue her again, I was ready to be accused of seducing young girls with my age and experience advantages. I will not regret it. "

Fei Sheyu looked at his friend who grew up with him with a complicated expression, and murmured, "Mingli..."

"If I can't get her, I will really regret it for the rest of my life, Fisher. So please don't advise me, okay?"

Tan Mingli's tone was light but firm, "I have lived for nearly 30 years, and I have never persisted in this way for one person or one thing. Please don't doubt my sincerity."

Mingli had never spoken to him in such a serious tone.

Fisher Fish was speechless.

He looked at Tan Mingli silently, neither expressing approval nor commenting.In his values, he really doesn't think it's moral to fall in love with a girl who's too young, whether that older person is male or female.

Both were silent for a long time.

Tan Mingli suddenly smiled lightly, changed the subject with ease, and said, "Fisher, do you remember that we went to church together when we were young?"

Speaking of childhood, Fisher Fish's serious expression just now loosened a lot, his eyes showed a soft light of warm nostalgia, he nodded gently, and said in a low voice: "Of course I remember, Mingli."

"You are always naughty. When the pastor leads everyone to sing, you will deliberately mispronounce a few words, which makes me laugh, but both the nuns and the pastor, they like you very much, like this smart and beautiful little girl ..."

He said with some emotion, "I remember that you can even recite the entire Bible, even though you are not religious."

"Yes."

Tan Mingli smiled, and said in a gentle voice, "I still remember it until now."

After a while of silence, she spoke softly again thoughtfully:

"Whether it is the Old Testament or the New Testament, God clearly stated that homosexuality is an abominable sin and fornication. Homosexuals cannot go to the kingdom of heaven. The main thing is a clean vessel..."

"But, Fisher."

The graceful woman raised her eyes indifferently, her tone was calm and calm, "If I'm with her, I'm going to hell—"

"Then go to hell."

She smiled gently and calmly, stretched and beautiful.
