Xiao Yu paid no attention to their earlier cryptic exchange.
"Zhao Yan, you're not that young anymore, and your family must be putting a lot of pressure on you. In a few more years, your youth will be gone. How about I find a way to help you get married?"
"No, thank you, Master Xiao. I don't want to get married."
"Oh, come on... women have to get married eventually. Growing old alone is terrifying."
"Let's talk about it later. I'm just not in the mood right now."
Xiao Yu had come to the movies precisely to persuade her.
But she didn't want to hear any of it.
Xiao Yu was at a loss. He couldn't force people into random matches.
Just then, Liu Shan spoke again.
"Zhao Yan, I need to use the restroom. Come with me, okay?"
"Go by yourself."
"I want you to come with me. Quit arguing and come on!"
"..."
Zhao Yan was reluctant, but Liu Shan dragged her along to the restroom.
Ten minutes later, the two returned.
Unexpectedly.
After coming back, Zhao Yan had actually gone from looking utterly dejected to positively radiant.
She was even walking arm in arm with Liu Shan, looking especially close.
"Zhao Yan, what did you two do in the restroom? You're like a different person."
"It's a secret!"
"Fine, don't tell me. Let's get back to what we were discussing. Tell me your requirements, and I'll find a way to help you find your ideal partner."
Zhao Yan shook her head repeatedly, beaming.
"Don't tell my fortune anymore. I really don't want to get married right now. Anyway, let's leave things as they are for now!"
Xiao Yu was very curious.
But he couldn't possibly use the Heavenly Mechanism Canon to peek at women in the restroom!
