Chapter 1356: I Don’t Know if I’m a Guest in My Dream
hum...
hum...
buzz buzz...
The phone vibrated on the table for a long time before Zhang Zian managed to open his eyes.
sleepy……
really sleepy...
He wiped his face casually, picked up his phone, and saw that the caller was... Mom.
His heart throbbed inexplicably, he stared at the word for two seconds, and then swiped his finger to connect the phone.
"Hello..." His voice was dry.
"Hello? Zian, are you working? Or are you asleep? Mom didn't disturb you, did she?"
His mother's familiar voice came from the other side of the phone, but for some reason, it seemed strange to him as if he hadn't heard it for a long time.
"No..." His throat was really dry, as if something was blocked in his throat.
"That's good..." The mother on the other side of the phone said happily: "I sent you a few messages, but you haven't replied. I'm afraid you're already asleep. I said I'd call tomorrow, but I was afraid that tomorrow would be too late... ..."
"It's okay, I didn't sleep... I didn't see the message just now, what's the matter?"
He regained consciousness and subconsciously looked around.
This is an ordinary rental house with one bedroom and one living room. It is not big and there are not many things. It is more than enough for him to live alone.
There is his usual laptop on the table. Since the mouse and keyboard have not been operated for a long time, the screen has automatically hibernated.
He shook the mouse with the other hand, and the screen turned on again, showing the unfinished work report brought back from the company during the day.
It seems that... while sitting in front of the laptop and working, I fell asleep unknowingly.
He scratched his hair in frustration, and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the laptop screen. It was already around 22 o'clock at night, and this work report had to be handed over to his boss at work tomorrow.
Parents are usually asleep at this time,
Why did you call today?
He stood up with the mobile phone in one hand, walked to the water dispenser, and made a cup of coffee with hot water to refresh himself.
"Zian, are you going home during the 11th Golden Week?" Mother asked nervously on the phone, as if she was afraid that he would give a negative answer.
He clamped his mobile phone between his side face and his shoulder, walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw the dark outdoor night scene.
This is not his hometown, Binhai City, but another city, where he finished college and found a company naturally, and stayed and worked after graduation.
This is a big international city with more job opportunities than Binhai City, and the salary level is much higher. It attracts all the young people from the nearby areas like a magnet.
"Well...should go back." He took a sip of his coffee, trying to get his mind back on the right track.
A calendar issued by the company hangs on the wall. It is the end of September, and there are not a few days left until the Golden Week.
"When you go home, remember to buy tickets in advance. Tickets for November 1 are hard to get, and you won't be able to buy them if it's late..." Mother said with a sigh of relief on the phone.
"Well, I see, is there anything else?" He answered casually, somewhat absent-mindedly.
Could it be that mother called on purpose because of this?
Even if the tickets for September 30th are difficult to buy, it is easier to buy tickets for the November day, and it is not too late to go home sooner or later.
It may be because he was dazed while sitting in the chair, his mind has not been fully awake.
"there's one more thing……"
Mother hesitated over there.
"What's up?"
He had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
"That... Aunt Liu on our street, do you remember? It's the Aunt Liu who runs a laundry at home." Mother said.
His mind froze for a moment, and then he woke up his memory, "I remember, what's wrong?"
"It's like this... Aunt Liu heard that you haven't dated yet, and she plans to introduce you to a date. She will come back to meet you during the National Day Golden Week holiday. I've seen photos of that girl. She looks good. Listen It’s okay to say that work is okay, come back and meet me?” The mother’s voice was almost begging.
He felt impatient in his heart, just like many young people, he also disliked this kind of blind date that couldn't be beat. After meeting, he had all kinds of awkward chats, and in the end he had to pay for it...
If it was normal, he would definitely refuse, and he might not want to go back during this long vacation because he was angry, but...
The words of refusal came to my lips, and I turned around a few times, but I couldn't say it anyway.
"Okay, fine," he whispered.
His willingness to agree so readily surprised his mother.
"Then...then it's settled?" She eagerly wanted to confirm, and explained: "I called so late, mainly because Aunt Liu was pressing so hard that I must give her a confirmation letter tonight." Son, otherwise that girl might go on a blind date... I think that girl is pretty good, you can try to get in touch with her, and treat it as a friend..."
"Well, I see, let's meet up... But I said before, whether it will be successful or not, this is not sure..." He said: "Even if I like someone, they may not be able to like me ,Right?"
"Yes, yes, that's it, so let's try to meet each other, maybe we can see each other?" The mother said happily, "You are not young anymore, there are neighbors who are as old as you, and they are about the same age as you." They are all married, and at least they have a partner. If you don't hurry up, you may be left... I heard that there are 30 million more men of marriageable age in China than women, 30 million! What should I do? The more you delay, the more likely you will be hard to find..."
Usually he dislikes this kind of nagging. It's not the first time he's heard it, and calluses are growing in his ears, but... listening to his mother's nagging over and over again, he feels very at ease, as long as it doesn't stop there, He was willing to keep listening like this.
"Oh, the old man is urging me, should you go to bed? I won't bother you anymore, go to bed early, remember to buy tickets, return tickets, and return tickets, don't forget to buy... return tickets buy 7 No, stay at home for a few more days, Mom has prepared a lot of delicious food for you, you understand?"
"Well, I see, I will sleep after buying the ticket."
He had wandered back to his desk, glanced at the unfinished work report on the screen, and told a little lie.
"Okay, then I'll hang up first and go to bed early. I'll call Aunt Liu to confirm."
"Well, you guys go to bed early too."
Mother hung up the phone excitedly.
He stared at the call records on the screen without blinking, as if the call records would disappear after blinking.
After a while, he couldn't help but laugh.
Really sleepy...
The effect of caffeine made him more awake. He sat down in front of the computer again, first bought a round-trip ticket to Binhai City during the Golden Week, and then hurriedly completed the work report due tomorrow.
The night is still very long.
