An Unexpected Blind Date

Candy!

Candy, a name that sounds sweet just by hearing it.

Zhou Feiyu's limited foreign language knowledge barely recognized the word. He felt a bit happy, thinking that at least the other person's attitude was good; she wasn't resistant to talking with a blind date and didn't have the arrogance of keeping him at a distance.

Of course, Zhou Feiyu didn't have any excessive illusions about this.

Just through WeChat didn't mean anything. Blind dates introduced by family members were generally reliable, after all, they were from the same village, and they would see each other often.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Feiyu."

Zhou Feiyu sent a few messages, introduced himself, and then asked about the other person's situation.

Zhou Feiyu also casually opened the other person's Moments. She hadn't blocked him, nor had she set it to only show posts from the last three days. After a quick scroll, he could see everything from the past year.

"Homebody type."

The posts in her Moments were basically photos with family or friends, little bits of daily life. This made Zhou Feiyu's impression of her even better.

The only slight regret was that she hadn't shown her face, he didn't know why.

"Hello, I'm Li Shihan. I heard about you from your aunt."

Candy, or rather, Li Shihan, briefly introduced herself and then said, "To be honest with you, I don't want to get married so early."

Zhou Feiyu was immediately choked up, feeling helpless. "Looks like it's a no-go again."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Feiyu sent a message: "I'm also in Peng City. Where are you in Peng City? Are you free to meet up tonight? I can come find you."

For a long time, there was no reply.

After more than half an hour, just when Zhou Feiyu thought it was completely hopeless, a message popped up. It was from Li Shihan: "Okay, I'm in the Qianhai area. I'll send you my location."

Then, a location address was sent over. It wasn't too far, but it was still seven or eight kilometers, about half an hour by subway.

Zhou Feiyu replied with a smiley face: "How about 6:30 tonight? I'll call you when I get there."

Li Shihan: "Okay."

After ending the conversation, Zhou Feiyu set an alarm and then took an afternoon nap until the alarm rang.

Washed up and headed out.

After arriving at the location on time, Zhou Feiyu first found a self-serve barbecue restaurant, and then called Li Shihan to ask her to come out and meet.

Li Shihan didn't stand him up. She appeared in front of Zhou Feiyu about ten minutes later, and she wasn't accompanied by a best friend or anyone else. She had truly come alone, which surprised and pleased Zhou Feiyu.

"It's you!"

At first sight, Zhou Feiyu was surprised. Straight legs, shoulder-length hair, a round face, thin lips, and single eyelids. Wasn't this the tall, thin girl he had met on the high-speed train?

"So it was you."

Li Shihan was also surprised, and a smile appeared on her face. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, possessing a natural charm that was infectious and made people feel comfortable.

As Zhou Feiyu walked over to pull out a chair for her to sit down, he said with a smile, "This is too much of a coincidence. It seems we're quite fated. Have we met before?"

Li Shihan smiled faintly: "Thank you. I don't think so."

"You haven't been graduated for long, have you?"

"This is my second year. How about you?"

"I graduated five years ago."

"Why so early? You're only two years older than me, how did you graduate three years earlier?"

"I started school earlier."

"Oh, oh. What was your major, and what do you do now?"

"Materials Forming and Control Engineering. I'm currently doing materials research at home."

"Hehe, then your academic performance is better than mine. I know nothing about that. I'm in the arts. My undergraduate degree was in dance, and now I teach traditional Chinese dance to children in Peng City."

"Are you in Peng City for a business trip?"

"No, I developed a new material and came here to promote it to a client."

The two chatted idly, saying some rather dry things, but it was also an essential process of getting to know each other, at least that's what Zhou Feiyu thought.

On the way over, Zhou Feiyu racked his brain for some conversation topics and things to say, but now, none of it was useful. He could only give up and just let things happen naturally.

The meal lasted for an hour. After eating, Zhou Feiyu walked Li Shihan back to her rented apartment. He heard Li Shihan say that she rented it with her two cousins, and only then did he take the subway back.

"Sister, how was it?"

As soon as Li Shihan returned to her place, her two cousins ran out of their bedrooms, their faces full of mischievous smiles as they gossiped.

One was plump and the other thin. The plump one was named Li Shiyu, one year younger than Li Shihan. The thin one was named Li Shixin, Li Shiyu's younger sister, six years younger than Li Shiyu, and only nineteen this year.

"How was what?"

Li Shihan deliberately put on a straight face, casually threw her backpack onto the sofa beside her, and then sat down hugging a teddy bear. However, the smile in the corners of her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Li Shixin said with a giggle, "Of course, the blind date! How was the one introduced today? Was he better than the one my dad introduced?"

Li Shihan answered without thinking, "Definitely better than the one your dad introduced. At least he's much more mature and steady than the one your dad introduced."

Li Shiyu immediately said, "Then it seems this blind date went well! When are you planning to get married?"

Li Shihan was instantly speechless. "What marriage? What are you talking about? Nothing's even been decided yet."

"Boring."

Li Shiyu scoffed, then stopped asking. She immediately pulled out her phone and asked Li Shixin, "Xiao Xinxin, forget about Li Shihan. Let's play together! I'm about to reach Star Glory."

Li Shixin immediately said, "Coming!"

So, the two started playing games together, ignoring everything else.

"I'm done with you two. How old are you, still playing games?"

Li Shihan shook her head helplessly, then returned to her room.

She removed her makeup, washed up, wiped her face, and took off her jacket, instantly revealing a slender, sexy, tall figure. However, this beautiful sight was not for outsiders to see. Li Shihan quickly put on a very loose, fluffy sleep suit, completely covering this beautiful scenery.

After applying a face mask and lying down, Li Shihan prepared to scroll through her Moments before sleeping.

A call came in. It was from her mother.

"Hello, Mom!"

Li Shihan greeted her, "It's a bit late, aren't you guys going to sleep yet?"

"Sleep? What sleep? How was that guy Uncle Li from the village introduced to you? Did you meet him?" A barrage of questions immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Uh, uh, we met, we met today."

Li Shihan quickly replied.

"How did you feel about him?"

Her mother continued to ask.

"He's quite steady, just a bit short."

Li Shihan thought for a moment and offered her opinion.

"Short where? Shorter than you?"

"Not that, he's about 1.78 meters."

"That's short? What are you thinking? Do you think you're very tall? You're not even as tall as him, and you have the nerve to say he's short? Where do you get your confidence?"

After a round of questioning, Li Shihan was completely speechless, having been rebutted by her mother. Finally, she surrendered, saying, "I know, I'll get to know him better and see."

Zhou Feiyu naturally didn't know these behind-the-scenes stories, nor did he know Li Shihan's evaluation of him. However, he could imagine that for a beautiful girl Li Shihan's age, the threshold for marriage proposals must have been long since trampled.

He was still on the subway, not yet back at the hotel where he was staying, when Wang Wei's call suddenly came in.

"Zhou Feiyu, where are you? Do you have time to come over?"

Wang Wei's voice was very urgent.
