All About My Nothings

Giphy Burning Down the House to Build a New One ♬ ♫ : Zhengqing thought to himself, in this project, he probably was no match for Yin Ting, so he told her, ‘I’m going to the meeting. In my study desk second drawer, there is a small red box, it’s a gift for you.’ Yin Ting laughed, and said she’d look for it. Zhengqing rang off. Yin Ting ran to the study to find the gift, ‘Now I think the photos I was going to give him are a bit lazy. Mr Zheng, you’re big oh,’ She found the gift box. It was very nice looking, before she opened it, she decided to guess what was in the box. Thinking about the kind of person Zhengqing was; it would probably be a silk handkerchief or a brooch. It most likely would be a proper traditional gift. She opened it to find an ornament. It was similar to a snow globe, but it rather than flurries, it was raining. Inside the sphere is a small forest scene; trees, grass and flowers incredibly detailed. A careful slosh of water was dripping, it ...

chinesegrandma.com  The Path of Love is Littered with Hidden Pitfalls: Zhengqing’s alarm clock rang at eight. He did his morning ablutions, had breakfast, and head to the mall at nine. That would give him an hour to find and buy a gift, and then take it with him to see Yin Ying. Everything was going as planned. At nine-thirty, he entered the mall. The Christmas decorations were already up. Zhengqing thought of another negotiating factor: if she dated him, she’d have a boyfriend for Christmas. He mentally made it his twelfth point. (Zuben: It’s a daft point, but okay) Twenty minutes later, he found what he thought was the perfect gift. He was overjoyed. He did not hesitate to buy it. He was in a great mood. Things were going so smoothly. He found a coffee shop to sit for a quick break before he had to go and pick Yin Ting up. It was an opportunity to do a quick review of what he had to say. He was a bit nervous. He opened the small notebook to read, when his ...

Best Animations Don't Leave Till Tomorrow What can be Done Today: Zhengqing wanted very much to tell her how he felt, but this was a serious matter and this wasn’t the right place and now wasn’t the right time. He needed to be somewhere he could tell her slowly. But he had guest and they were discussing business, they could not stay in the kitchen too long. He couldn’t just say I am nine years older than you but I will be good to you, will you be my girlfriend, and then rush over to the living room to talk business. No not good. It can’t be like this. He must also let Yin Ting think about things. He did think she might like him, however, girls are more restrained (Zuben: LOL!) , and they needed time for to carefully consider her options. Then they need to talk about their feelings and if things were equal, then discuss their future relationship. If Ying Ting did not like him, he also wanted to know what the issue was. Therefore, this moment, this time and place,...

Grasping the Food and Men with Both Hands: The holiday ended and Zhengqing returned to work feeling comfortable. (Zuben; Dude, you need a life) Huizhu returned to town as well but they were unable to meet because she had to travel out of the country for work, but they did chat online a few times. Zhengqing wasn’t bothered, he wasn’t anxious about it. His deadline was two years so there was enough time. Though he didn’t get to see Huizhu, he did see Yin Ting. One Friday after the holidays, he had to attend a party on behalf of his company. The Huafu Group were launching a new company and they held a banquet. It was the same kind of to-do everytime; sign the guest book at the door, hand over gifts, listen to speeches, applaud, eat, drink, network, exchange business cards, chat about business, introduce friends and acquaintances… Such immutable life, Zhengqing coped with ease. But there was a slight variation in proceedings when the Huafu representative came over to h...

Moon Cakes, they went on about them a lot.   Talking to the Dead under the Harvest Moon: Yin Ting cheerfully described the moon (Zuben: If you’re ‘talking to them’ and they know you’re not married surely they know what the moon is like) and the delicious moon cakes, and how Qiu Zong was really filial but assured his parents not to worry and they can look after themselves and so on… Yin Shi gave Zhengqing a helpless glance. Zhengqing smiled, he realised he didn’t mind someone else talking to his parents; he was dense and rarely had anything to say to them. Yin Ting talked on and on. Then she finally stood up and turned in the direction of her mother’s grave, ‘Dad is talking to Mom a long time,’ Her brother pinched her lips, ‘See your mouth. At least Dad is talking to his wife; you have been chatting for so long to people you don’t know.’ Yin Ting glared at him, ‘How rude. The elders of our friends are our elders too, and Qiu Zong will not boast about his achie...
