Trivia of Three Women Unit 7: Goldfish (A Valentine's Day Story)

The epidemic was repeated earlier, and finally after ten days of zero confirmed cases, Ah Qing took her three-year-old son out to buy some daily necessities.

Walking on the street and seeing that several restaurants have closed, Ah Qing sighed in her heart: "I wonder how many people will lose their jobs during this epidemic?"

The two mothers and sons continued to hang out. There was an aquarium shop in front of them that had been in business for many years. The son saw them and immediately ran over to see the goldfish excitedly.

"Mom, the fish are very cute." The son stared intently at the fish swimming in the water.

Ah Qing doesn't like to keep fish, but seeing the goldfish in the fish tank reminded her of an unpleasant past. This happened when she was a freshman in college. It was during the Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day in the West. ......

"I think your attitude towards me is getting worse and worse!" Ah Qing said angrily to her boyfriend Bai Jie on the phone.

"It's just that you think so, I don't think so! You are often dissatisfied with me anyway!" Bai Jie said impatiently.

"You often say that I'm not satisfied with you, because you're getting worse and worse for me, and I'm not satisfied with you! No boy I know treats me this badly!"

"I'm like this, I'm not as gentle as they are to you!" Bai Jie was agitated.

The two sides became more and more stalemate, and it seemed that there was no room for turning around. In the end, Ah Qing said excitedly: "Let's break up!"

Bai Jie said sullenly, "Okay!"

The conversation thus ended. After hanging up the line, Ah Qing's tears burst out of control.

After a while, Ah Qing began to calm down. She had nothing to do, so she remembered the goldfish she took care of for Ah Jing (almost every Chinese New Year, Ah Jing travels with her family to other places), so she took the round fish tank to the toilet to change the water. As soon as she walked into the toilet, for some reason, her hand slipped and the glass fish tank shattered. Looking at the broken glass, Ah Qing thought to herself, "Oops! Alas! What a terrible Valentine's Day!"

A-Qing carefully avoided the broken glass on the ground, and went to the kitchen to get a rice bowl. After pouring in water, she put the goldfish in. She thought to herself, "Don't die!"

At this time, Ah Qing's mother came over and saw the broken glass on the ground, and began to complain, "Oh! I knew that I should not help my friend take care of the goldfish during the Chinese New Year, and now she has broken the fish tank, which is very unlucky. !Ugh!"

Ah Qing felt upset and didn't say anything, just squatted down to clean up the broken glass. Seeing her unresponsive, her mother nagged for a while and left.

After finally putting the glass in the trash can, Ah Qing dried up her tears, leaving her red and swollen eyes. She was angry, she didn't expect to break up with Bai Jie on Valentine's Day, she thought about it, maybe a little revenge, she made a phone call to Chen Muhao, who had known her for a while and was interested in her.

"Hello! Excuse me..." Before Ah Qing finished speaking, she heard Ah Hao's excited voice on the phone.

"Aqing! I didn't expect you to call me? Is there something wrong?"

"I want to go to the theatre, I want to ask you..."

Just like before, before Ah Qing finished speaking, Ah Hao hurriedly replied, "I want to go to the theater too! Which play do you want to see? I'll go buy a ticket now."

Ah Qing thought about it and remembered a foreign language film she had recently drawn, so she told him.

"I'm going to buy tickets now. I'll be waiting at the entrance of Causeway Bay Pearl Cinema later." Ah Hao seemed very anxious to hang up the line.

After hanging up, Ah Qing felt a little dazed and thought, "What am I doing?"

Even so, Ah Qing changed her clothes, picked up her handbag and went out.

Ah Qing takes the subway to Causeway Bay, which takes less than half an hour. When Ah Qing arrived at the theater, she had already seen Ah Hao waiting for her with a movie ticket.

"Aqing, I've already bought a movie ticket. I didn't expect you to call me!" Ahao seemed very happy.

"Thank you!" Ah Qing said politely.

At this time, Ah Hao seemed to notice that Ah Qing's eyes were a little red and swollen, so he asked with concern, "Your eyes are a little red and swollen, do you feel uncomfortable? Why don't I buy some eye drops for you?"

"It's nothing, I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm not in a good mood. I'm not feeling well. It's almost the beginning, let's go in!" Ah Qing was puzzled and didn't want to talk more.

This is a suspenseful foreign language film. Although the film has been shown for more than half an hour, Ah Qing has no idea what it is talking about, because her mind is only about breaking up with Bai Jie. Thinking about it, Ah Qing couldn't help sobbing softly, her body trembled slightly. Suddenly, Ah Hao put the scarf on Ah Qing's shoulders. Ah Qing was a little surprised. When she came back to her senses, she realized that her trembling made Ah Hao misunderstand that she felt cold. She was too embarrassed to return the scarf immediately, only to let it drape over her shoulders temporarily.

I don't know if it was because of this scarf, A Qing suddenly felt that she was a little more awake, she couldn't accept A Hao's kindness at all, she decided not to mistake others.

Finally finished, and came out of the theater, it turned out that the night had hung, and it was probably time for dinner.

"Aqing, where do you want to eat?" Ahao said with a smile.

Ah Qing looked a little embarrassed, handed him the scarf and said, "I don't feel cold anymore, thank you! Thank you for watching a movie with me today! I'm sorry! I have an appointment with a friend for dinner, but I can't. I've eaten with you. I didn't make it clear to you, sorry!"

Ah Hao was obviously stunned and lost. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Is it really impossible?"

Ah Qing didn't expect him to ask such a question. Although she felt sorry, she didn't want to make mistakes again and again, so she replied, "I'm really sorry!"

Ah Hao said in a dejected tone, "That's fine!"

"Goodbye!" After saying that, Ah Qing turned around and left.

After walking less than ten steps, Ah Qing heard Ah Hao calling her from behind, so she had to stop. Ah turned to face him, he said, "Are you still missing your boyfriend?" Ah Qing thought about it and nodded to him.

Ah Hao also completely understood, so he could only say: "I understand. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Ah Qing was a little relieved.

After parting with Ah Hao, Ah Qing called her friend Ah Tao and asked her to come out for dinner, and Ah Tao readily agreed. During the meal, Ah Qing confided to her everything that happened. That's it, Ah Qing's Valentine's Day will not be too sad.
