"Sis Sisi, you don't understand them. I think they just want to marry me off. Any guy will do. They just can't stand seeing me at home," Gu Sisi whined.
The girl with tears streaming down her face attracted quite a few glances. Yang Qian groaned. Seeing the inquisitive looks from others, she glared back.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beauty before!"
"..." Sure enough, she had been hit pretty hard. Gu Sisi sighed silently.
"No way! Your parents must be hoping for the best for you."
Yang Qian pouted and complained, "I don't think so. They've praised every guy as if they were celestial beings descending from the sky. I just don't understand how I've met so many 'immortals'."
...Alright, Gu Sisi understood. Yang Qian's parents might really be in a hurry.
"You can't just settle for someone like this!" Gu Sisi consoled her. "How about I screen them for you!"
"Really?" Yang Qian shrieked.
Almost everyone in the coffee shop turned to look.
"Sorry, sorry," Yang Qian said, clasping her hands together. This time, she finally blushed.
When the weekend came.
Yang Qian listened to the guy absent - mindedly. She scratched her neck and stared blankly at her feet.
"Miss Yang, Miss Yang, can you hear what I'm saying?" the guy called out to her.
"Huh?" Yang Qian looked over and tried to stay calm. "What's up?"
Yang Qian's blind - date partner this time was a civil servant. He carried an old - fashioned black satchel of unknown age, and his hair was slicked back, apparently having dressed up specially.
"Miss Yang," the guy repeated. "My parents hope I can get married soon. So if we get together, I hope we can get married by the end of this year and consider having a baby next year."
"Okay."
"As for the betrothal gifts, our parents can discuss that. But we'll definitely live with my parents. My parents are both teachers, which is good for the growth of children. Also, my mom is very tired on weekdays. It would be great if you can do housework."
"Okay."
"Miss Yang, I'm very satisfied with you. Do you have any objections?"
Yang Qian shrugged towards the distance.
Finally, she curled her lips and said, "Yes. I'm infertile."
The guy clearly panicked after hearing this and it took him a while to calm down.
He forced a smile. "I think, Miss Yang, we may not be a good match."
"Okay." Yang Qian smiled.
The guy left in a hurry. It seemed that he was yelling angrily on the phone outside.
Yang Qian withdrew her gaze and looked at the KFC set in front of her.
She sighed. "Anyway, I'm the one paying. Let's finish it!"
Seeing Yang Qian on the verge of crying and turning her grief into appetite, Gu Sisi patted her on the back. "It's okay. The next one will be better."
"Okay!" Yang Qian nodded. This was her second blind date and her second lunch of the day.
Why was she so unlucky? Was it really that hard to meet a normal person?
Gu Sisi also didn't understand the current blind - date market. After all, she had only been on one blind date, and it was extremely embarrassing...
"How about you stop going on blind dates for a while?" Gu Sisi thought her words yesterday might have been too idealistic.
What if Yang Qian gradually lost faith in men?
Wouldn't that be a loss?
"No way!" Yang Qian groaned again. "I have another blind - date partner tomorrow."
Yang Qian stopped what she was doing and hugged the person in her arms.
Alas! Poor girl.
After Yang Qian vowed that she would never go on a blind date again, the next day, she didn't ask Gu Sisi to screen for her anymore.
Instead, she went alone.
Gu Sisi was lying on the couch at home when she suddenly received a call from Yang Qian.
"Hmm? What, is it over?" Gu Sisi asked lazily.
She had almost fallen asleep and yawned lazily.
"Sis, no," Yang Qian's voice was obviously very excited.
It was very noisy on the other end. It was probably on the road. Gu Sisi sat up and then slumped back down. Before she could ask.
Yang Qian excitedly said on the other end, "I've met someone I like."
"What?" This shock drove away Gu Sisi's drowsiness. She stood up from the sofa.
"Yes, yes!" Yang Qian said shyly. "He's so handsome! That guy. Today I finally met someone who lives up to the hype. All the previous ones were just exaggerated. This one is really handsome!"
It was obvious that Yang Qian was trying to suppress her excitement, but she was still very happy.
Gu Sisi felt something was wrong. "You're not just attracted to his looks, are you? You need to be more rational about this!"
"No," Yang Qian even stomped her feet excitedly. "This guy is good in every aspect."
Gu Sisi quickly packed her bag and went to find Yang Qian. The two sat in a milk - tea shop.
"So, you haven't even made an appointment for the next meeting?" Gu Sisi couldn't understand this girl's thinking at all. She thought they at least had a good impression of each other.
It turned out that Yang Qian was just getting excited on her own.
Yang Qian cried with a long face. "What should I do then? He said he doesn't like blind dates. He was forced to come."
Alright! Gu Sisi was helpless. It seemed that many people felt the same way.
"Do you have his contact information?"
Yang Qian nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
"What about the photo?"
"Yes."
"Okay. You should find an opportunity to chat with him first. Just find any topic."
Yang Qian was confused. "What about the photo?"
"Let me take a look. Didn't you say he's very handsome?" Gu Sisi said seriously.
Yang Qian thought it made sense and nodded. Then she frowned. "What topic should I chat with him about?"
"His occupation. He must have clients, right? You can ask for his advice!" Gu Sisi was frustrated that Yang Qian was so slow on this matter. She wasn't half as smart as herself.
The extremely smart Gu Sisi seemed to have forgotten that she had never been in a relationship before she got married.
"Oh, he's a doctor. A plastic surgeon, it seems."
"..." An unexpected occupation.
Gu Sisi's expression froze. "Then tell him you're very interested in medical aesthetics."
She was really worried about the success rate of them getting together if Yang Qian went to get plastic surgery from a doctor she had a crush on.
Yang Qian obediently did as she was told. But Gu Sisi, who received the photo sent by Yang Qian, stopped.
She had been having dinner and forgot to chew.
This guy was actually her blind - date partner last time. Was the world really that small?
It was so coincidental!
"What's wrong?" Huo Cheng's voice came from above her.
Gu Sisi quickly came to her senses. Flustered, she put away her phone and pretended that nothing had happened.
"N - nothing!" The memory of that time was still fresh. If she was caught, it would be a disaster. She wouldn't even know how to explain.
But things didn't go as she wished. She clearly heard Huo Cheng ask.
"What are you looking at this guy for?"
Huo Cheng squinted his eyes, emitting a dangerous signal.
Gu Sisi inwardly cried out that it was over. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
