Chapter 33 The Journey of Acquaintance
33.
When Li Dong rushed out of the door of his company, he felt that he had never been so excited in his life.
This is a joy of losing and regaining.
This is a dreamy feeling that rekindles hope from the most desperate abyss.
Only by experiencing the most desperate pain can you realize how precious it is to do it again!
So Li Dong swore that he would never regret it again this time!
"I want to confess my love to Chen Li directly. I want to express my thoughts for the past three years without reservation!"
Li Dong ran on the way to Chen Li's company, and his acquaintance with Chen Li kept popping up in his mind...
Although Li Dong and Chen Li have known each other for three years, they actually don’t have many opportunities to get along. The number of times they meet and have dinner in private can be said to be a handful of times, and they can count both slaps.
This mainly comes from Li Dong's introverted silence, who likes quiet but not moving. He is a typical otaku, so Li Dong prefers to chat with Chen Li online, so he rarely invites Chen Li to meet.
Speaking of the acquaintance between Li Dong and Chen Li, it is also quite interesting.
Three years ago, on February 3, 2017, Li Dong met Chen Li for the first time.
The two met because they cut cakes.
That day was the first day of work after the Spring Festival holiday, and the square in front of the train station was crowded with people.
Li Dong is also one of the many troops who have returned from work after holidays.
Li Dong remembered it very clearly. When he got off the train, he left the exit directly. He originally wanted to take the BRT back to his dormitory as usual.
However, just as he walked towards the BRT ticketing site, he found that a girl was surrounded by a group of cake selling.
"This group of cake sellers are going to cheat people again." Li Dong thought immediately.
He couldn't help but slow down his pace and slowly passed by the girl.
At this time he could already hear the girl's voice.
The girl's voice sounds nice, but she was already crying at this time.
"I just want a little bit, why did you make up for me 200 yuan? Didn't you agree to have a pound of 50? How could I have a pound?"
The cake seller opposite said with a fierce look on his face: "Who told you that one pound is 50? It's one pound 50! Let me know clearly, one pound 50!"
"Aren't you cheating people? How can you bully people like this?"
The girl was about to cry.
"Bully? Who bullies people? Make it clear!"
The cake seller said while holding the long knife that cut the cake in his hand and was gestured there. The girl was so scared that her face turned pale when she saw this.
"But I don't have that much money on me?! Can I pay with X letter or X Bao?"
The girl was frightened by the shaky sharp knife and immediately wanted to pay, but found that she didn't have enough money. This cannot be blamed for her. After all, it's the information age now and she is used to paying on mobile phones.
But I didn't expect that the cake seller on the opposite side still said arrogantly: "What X-X treasure, I can't use it! I only need cash!"
"But I really don't have enough money! Woo woo..." The girl was already crying.
"I don't care. If I continue to kill you, I will never return the goods. You can call your friend to come and pay. In short, if you don't give the money, don't think about leaving!"
When Li Dong heard this, he knew that the nonsense of the cake selling was a different intention. He listened to the girl's voice and couldn't help feeling compassion.
Li Dong, who had originally wanted to not cause trouble, for some reason, stopped his steps by chance and turned toward the girl.
"Ah, you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Li Dong quickly walked to Chen Li and pretended to be familiar.
Then, without waiting for Chen Li to react, he said as if he already knew the situation on the field.
"You want to eat this cake, I'll buy it for you. That big brother, how much does this small piece she wants?"
Although the cake seller on the opposite side was a little unhappy with Li Dong's appearance, he couldn't go too far in broad daylight. He directly stretched out his two fingers and said, "200, it's definitely not a divalent price!"
"Okay OK, give it, this is 200."
Without saying a word, Li Dong took out 200 and handed it to the cake seller. Then he picked up the cake that had been put into the bag, grabbed the girl's wrist, and hurriedly left the place of failure.
After the two walked out of the two intersections, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Li Dong found that he was still holding the girl's wrist and couldn't help but blush. He quickly let go of his hand and said with a look of embarrassment: "Sorry, the matter was urgent, but I didn't pay attention for the moment."
"It's okay, it's okay." The girl waved her hand quickly. At this time, her face was also flushed. I don't know if she was scared by the cake seller or was shy.
"There are many troubles around this train station. If you want to buy things, don't buy them around the train station. Especially those who sell cakes are arrogant because they are 'beeping' and have to hide when they see them!" Li Dong reminded kindly.
"Thank you! It's the first time I've encountered such a thing. I'll have you helped me this time, otherwise I don't know what to do!"
The two started chatting like this, and then they walked along the way as they chatted.
"My name is Chen Li, where are you?" the girl asked first.
"My name is Li Dong, and I'm about to do BRT."
"I'm going to do BRT, so why don't we go along with it."
"Yeah, okay."
"By the way, you just paid me 200 yuan for quick money, and I have to pay it back to you. Do you have X letters? I'll add you and transfer the money to you!"
"Oh... OK!"
So Li Dong and Chen Li met each other in this way and added X letters to each other.
Later, the two found out that they were working in the software park in City X, so they sat back to the software park. Along the way, they chatted very well in the car.
In the days that followed, the two often chatted online using X letters.
According to the normal plot development, as long as Li Dong takes the initiative and invites Chen Li to come out for dinner, it should be a natural thing for the two to date together.
But Li Dong was a wooden otaku. He was extremely unconfident in himself and did not have the courage to confess to Chen Li. He was silent and introverted, but he didn't like to go out and play, so he prefers to stay in the dormitory.
So over the past three years, he and Chen Li met and had dinner privately less than ten times.
But even so, Chen Li kept holding the last glimmer of hope and waiting for Li Dong.
Li Dong also had a ignorant admiration for Chen Li. This love was suppressed in Li Dong's heart for a whole three years, but he did not dare to say it.
Until last week, Li Dong's company decided to further his studies in Li Dong and wanted to send him to another city for further studies.
If Li Dong agrees, he will probably never return to City X again.
As a result, the chances of Li Dong and Chen Li meeting are even more slim.
Li Dong was hesitating for the whole week, not knowing whether he should accept this further study from the company.
So, after a fierce ideological struggle, Li Dong made up his mind to ask Chen Li to come out and confess to her.
If the confession is successful, Li Dong will reject the opportunity given to him by the company and continue to stay in City X.
If the confession fails and is rejected by Chen Li, Li Dong will accept the company's further study and leave this sad place.
This was the plan that Li Dong originally thought of, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The subsequent series of tragedies plunged Li Dong into the abyss of despair.
But now, Li Dong has the chance to do it again!
There is still a chance to save everything!
This time, I will never let myself regret it anymore. I must cherish the hard-earned opportunity to start over again!
Li Dong clenched his fists, and at this time he had already rushed to the downstairs of Chen Li's company!
