Fifty-three, Places for Blind Dates (3)
"I deceived you, I'm a second-tier university student in Xi'an, but I was only two points away from the first-tier university line back then. At that time, I was very diligent and studious. My civil servant position was also obtained through my own strength. However, after graduating from university, I entered society and slowly changed, no longer being so diligent and studious," Ma Dai said with a smile.
"Hemp bag, do you smoke?" Lan Qi suddenly asked.
The burlap sack shook its head, "No."
"Are you drinking?" Lan Qi asked again.
"Occasionally drink some beer," said Ma Dai.
"So do you usually go to discos and bars?" I asked this time.
"I've been there two or three times, but I don't really like the environment there," said Ma Dai with a chuckle.
"Hemp sack, which girl marries you, this whole life, is really worth it," Lan Qi said with a smile.
I smiled and said, "What Lan Xi said is what I wanted to say too."
The canvas bag smiled, "I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't gamble, and I don't find a mistress, but I have a bad habit, which is to love playing online games. Once I start playing, I want to play well, so I keep recharging and recharging. I once played an online game and spent over 10,000 yuan in less than a month."
"You're really crazy," Lan Qi said with a smile.
"You didn't play online games in college, did you?" I asked.
"I only learned to play online games during last year's Spring Festival, and I've played about five or six online games so far. I just started playing Legend private server this year, at first, I kept changing versions, and changed more than 50 in half a year, later on, I knew what kind of version was fun," said Mai Dai.
"I thought you were playing this game since 2001, so your PK level is that high," I exclaimed in surprise.
"I often spend thousands of yuan to recharge a private server, the most I've spent on one server was nearly 4,000 yuan. As my level and equipment increased, my PK skills also improved," said Mai Dai.
"Why don't you just open your own store? It's only 2,000 yuan a month," said Lan Qi.
"I used to have this idea, but it flashed by instantly. Opening a server is too much trouble - you'd need to advertise and promote it, maintain the server... it's just too much hassle. It's like how you might enjoy going to Starbucks for coffee, but would you really want to open your own Starbucks just because of that? Plus, I have my own factory to attend to, no time to manage a server."
I and Lan Qi burst out laughing.
"Hmm, you two don't be polite, eat this fruit," Ma Dai invited.
"Hemp bag, you're being polite, Mu Xian and I have never treated you as an outsider," Lan Qi said with a smile, using a toothpick to pick up a piece of ham melon.
"Hmm, Lan Qi, why don't you tell your story too? After all, Mu Xian and I have met before. In that case, today, you're the one who's come from afar," Ma Dai said with a smile.
"So I just heard you talking about yourself earlier, but I haven't heard Mu Xian talk about himself yet," said Lan Qi.
"My business, Linlin should have told you about it," I blinked.
"Lan Qi, you tell your story first, and then let Mu Xian talk about his own story," the sack suggested.
"Alright then, but I don't know which stage of my life you want to hear about," said Lan Qi.
"Then start from primary school and talk all the way through junior high, senior high, university and your current job," said Ma Dai.
"Really?" Lan Qi was taken aback.
"Hmm, also, if you don't mind, you can also talk about your emotional experiences, and your worldview, values and all that," said Mai Dai with a smile.
"It's so complicated," Lan Qi frowned.
"It's all right, you've finished speaking, now let's listen to Mu Xian's story and have him speak in the same way as you," Ma Dai said while pouring himself a cup of tea from the purple clay teapot.
"Alright then, I'll talk about my own life experiences and insights," said Lan Qi with a faint smile, taking a sip of tea from the cup in front of her.
"Let me start from elementary school..."
