Blind date?

Xiao Yu dragged her suitcase, looked at the unfamiliar station, rubbed her aching temples, and dialed a number.

"Qian Qian, I've arrived."

"Do you want me to pick you up and stay at my place for a night?" A female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No need. I'm staying at my uncle's house tonight. I'll rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I'll go straight to your wedding."

"Okay, see you then." A female voice came from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, just as she was about to call a taxi, her phone rang again.

"Xiao Man, what's up?"

"Sis, I have some bad news for you." A gloating voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What bad news? I'm a bit tired right now. Hurry up and tell me, I still need to go to Uncle Zhang's house."

"I overheard Dad talking on the phone with Uncle Zhang today. Uncle Zhang asked about your situation, knew you were about to graduate, and then they started talking about your lifelong matters. Guess what happened next?"

Xiao Man's voice was still gloating.

"What happened?" Xiao Yu had a bad feeling.

"Hehe, Uncle Zhang said Aunt Zhen has a nephew who also just graduated from university this year, and he's from your school. He feels that your conditions are just right for each other, so he wants you to meet tomorrow. If it works out, you can be friends; if not, you can just recognize each other."

Xiao Man laughed on the other end of the phone, full of schadenfreude.

"No way?" Xiao Yu was dumbfounded. "Are they setting me up on a blind date?"

"Pretty much. Mom and Dad both agreed. After all, someone introduced by Uncle Zhang is definitely reliable. Sis, you'll have to fend for yourself. I can only help you this much, hahahaha..."

Before the laughter faded, it turned into a dial tone. Xiao Man had already hung up, leaving Xiao Yu in a mess in the wind.

She had come to Flower City this time to attend a high school classmate's wedding. However, her father was worried and asked her to stay at a friend's house for a few days and go back during the New Year.

She had met Uncle Zhang Yang a few times. He and her father were both fishermen, and they had a very good relationship. Also, Uncle Zhang was a very nice person, so Xiao Yu agreed.

But now they wanted her to go on a blind date? And she didn't even know about it. What if they really met tomorrow?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yu's face fell. She quickly hailed a taxi and headed for the nearest hotel. She definitely couldn't go to Uncle Zhang's house, or it would be awkward then.

Just as she got in the car, her phone rang again.

It was Aunt Zhen.

Seeing the number, Xiao Yu instantly became nervous. "Aunt Zhen."

"Hmm, Xiao Yu, you've arrived, right? I'll ask your uncle to pick you up."

"I've arrived, but you don't need to trouble Uncle. I'm going out to eat with a friend right now, and I might be back late tonight, so I'll stay at her place and go to your house tomorrow." Xiao Yu lied, feeling her heart rate quicken.

"Is that so? That's fine too. Come over earlier tomorrow. Be careful when you go out at night, and don't play too late."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Chen Mo was woken up early by his mother and got up to eat breakfast.

"A Mo, go change into something more handsome and come with me to your aunt's house."

"Auntie has seen me before, why dress so handsome?"

"You just came back, give people a good impression. Don't be as sloppy as you are at home. You're a big person now."

Chen Mo felt something was off, but he didn't refuse his mother's request. He found a set of clothes that looked relatively comfortable and followed her out.

His aunt was his mother's younger sister, named Shao Zhen, and he also called her Aunt Zhen.

She took good care of him when he was little, so Chen Mo had a very good impression of this aunt. Every time during holidays, she would give him a red envelope.

Chen Mo remembered when he was a child, his father didn't have a job, and their family was not well-off. When his maternal uncle came to collect debts, it was his aunt's husband who borrowed money to pay his maternal uncle back.

After that incident, their family and his maternal uncle's side fell out, and their family and his aunt's family became closer.

Not long after, Chen Mo arrived at his aunt's house under his mother's guidance.

As soon as they reached the door, his aunt came out from inside. Seeing Chen Mo, she smiled widely. "You've grown into a handsome young man."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhen. Where's Xinxin?" Chen Mo asked.

He remembered his cousin who grew up in his house since childhood. When his aunt and uncle were working outside, there were no elderly people at home to take care of the child, so they sent his cousin to their house to be looked after.

So he and his cousin Zhang Xinxin grew up together, no different from real siblings.

"That girl, she went traveling during the holiday and then went to a friend's house, she hasn't come back." His aunt said, "A Mo, sit in the living room for a while, your mother and I will go to the kitchen to cook."

"A Zhen, where is that girl?" Chen Mo's mother asked as she walked.

"She hasn't arrived yet, I'll call and ask."

Chen Mo sat on the sofa, his body stiff. His body had undergone potential development, and his hearing was very sensitive. He clearly heard their conversation.

"Girl?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Mo's mind, finally settling on two words.

Blind date?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Mo almost vomited blood.

Back at school, he had teased Xiao Yu about being dragged on a blind date by her family when she went home. As a result, he was dragged here as soon as he got home.

Even if the words were the opposite, they didn't have to play with him like this, right? Chen Mo was still not quite sure, and slowly approached the kitchen.

"Xiao Yu, why haven't you come yet? The food is almost ready?"

"Uh, Aunt Zhen, I... I'm not feeling well, can we do it another day?" In a hotel room, Xiao Yu looked anxious, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This damn Chen Mo, she would definitely deal with him when she got back.

He said at school that she would be taken on a blind date when she went home, and that scoundrel was actually right. She didn't sleep well all night, just thinking about this matter.

"Not feeling well? Then I'll ask my nephew to pick you up and take you to see a doctor. Your dad told us to take care of you, otherwise we won't be able to explain."

Aunt Zhen didn't suspect anything. In Old He's words, his daughter was very well-behaved.

"No, no, no, no need, Aunt Zhen, it's a small matter, it's not that serious. I'm going out with a classmate later, and I won't be able to stay at your place for too long. How about I come over later? My classmate is here to find me, I'll contact you later, goodbye, Aunt Zhen."

After saying that, Xiao Yu directly hung up the phone.

"Damn Chen Mo, you jinx."

Xiao Yu was cursing Chen Mo in her heart at this moment, but she didn't know how to deal with Aunt Zhen next.

"Ah-choo~"

Outside the kitchen, Chen Mo sneezed, his face still filled with despair. Even he didn't know how he felt right now.

He had heard everything his aunt said just now, she wanted to introduce a girl to him.

To put it bluntly, it was a blind date.

"Mom, Aunt Zhen, I'm not feeling well, I'm going out to buy medicine." Chen Mo shouted, and before the two could answer, he rushed out of the house.

"A Mo, where are you going? Not eating?"

Just as he ran out of the house, he bumped into his aunt's husband. His aunt's husband usually had a somewhat optimistic and humorous personality, and every time he saw Chen Mo, they would get along particularly well.

"Uncle, uh... I'm going out to buy something." Chen Mo ran away.

Seeing Chen Mo's fleeing back, Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled, then walked into the house.

"Where's Xiao Mo?" As soon as Zhang Yang walked into the living room, Shao Xuemei asked, looking at the empty sofa.

"He slipped away, probably knows we want to introduce a girl to him." Zhang Yang smiled. "Xiao Yu didn't come either?"

"Xiao Yu said she had an appointment with a classmate." Shao Zhen said.

"Then let's cook and eat ourselves. I'll call a few friends over for drinks. These two probably know this is a blind date and made excuses to run away." Zhang Yang chuckled a few times. "We'll find another opportunity next time. You can't force these things. They've just graduated from university and are still young, maybe they haven't adapted yet."

Chen Mo ran onto the street, his face still full of lingering fear.

It was too dangerous. They actually tricked him into a blind date without saying a word. If Xiao Yu knew, she would probably laugh him to death.

Just as he ran onto the street, his phone rang.

Seeing that it was Xiao Yu, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If his mother called him back, he might as well just stay in the hospital for two hours.

"Xiao Yu, what's up?"

"Your home is in Flower City, right?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I'm in Flower City right now." Xiao Yu said.

"Missing me so soon, coming to find me? Where are you?"

Chen Mo immediately smiled. He had nowhere to go right now. He definitely couldn't go back to his aunt's place. If he went home now, his mother would probably skin him alive for standing someone up.

"A good friend of mine is getting married, and it just happens to be here. I just got home and was notified, so I rushed here again. I just arrived last night and didn't notify you. I have time today, take me out to play." Xiao Yu said.

After getting Xiao Yu's address, Chen Mo immediately rushed over.

Seeing Xiao Yu, the depression Chen Mo felt from being tricked into a blind date just now vanished. However, he definitely couldn't tell Xiao Yu about this, or she would laugh him to death.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Don't talk yet, let me hit you for a while."

Thinking of the blind date, Xiao Yu wanted to beat Chen Mo up. This jinx really almost tricked her into a blind date as soon as she got back. Thankfully, her sister reminded her, otherwise it would have been awkward.

"Go ahead and hit me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu started hitting him wildly, but it was on his shoulder. She only stopped when her hand hurt.

"This is the first time I've seen someone hit themselves until their hand hurts." Chen Mo directly grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and laughed.

"I've finished throwing my little tantrum." After saying that, Xiao Yu kissed him on the cheek. "This is my compensation to you. Take me out to play, anywhere is fine."

"Go to my house and meet the parents."

"Dream on." Hearing about meeting the parents, Xiao Yu's face immediately turned red. "You've been wearing the scarf all this time?" Xiao Yu started helping Chen Mo tidy up his clothes that she had messed up.

"Of course, wearing it is like having you by my side."

"Ew~ I found you've become cheesy." Xiao Yu showed a disgusted expression, then chuckled softly. "Come with me to my friend's wedding tomorrow."
