Chapter 1 Alternative Dating
In the bathroom, Chen Luo, who was in a suit, stood in front of the mirror, looking at his frowning bitter face, and recalling what happened last month, he felt incredible.
In one month, I actually went on a blind date for twenty-eight days! Except for two days because the social client really couldn't leave and broke the appointment temporarily, I had to go on a blind date for thirty days. The initiator of all this was Chen Luo's mother Wang Ninghui.
Why does my mother, who never interfere with her emotional life, suddenly feel like a matchmaker, burst out with great enthusiasm, mobilize almost all her relatives and friends to arrange this blind date month that makes people tired of dealing with?
Chen Luo asked for questions for many days, but he couldn't find out why.
Shaking his head, Chen Luo took a deep breath, carefully measuring it in front of the mirror seriously, and there was a faint scar about five centimeters long on the left forehead. It was a souvenir left by a traffic accident two months ago. If you were not careful, you would definitely not be able to see it.
As for his facial features, he is quite upright. Although he is not a handsome guy, he is generally quite pleasant to see. In terms of age, he is only 24 years old this year, and he has been working for less than a year after graduating from college. He has a good work ability and is often praised by the department head Lao Fang. If he works hard, he still has a future.
"Am I that bad? Mom is worried that I can't find a partner? It's impossible..." Chen Luozheng said to himself, and there was a knock on the door inside, responding casually, rubbing for a while, but still left the bathroom helplessly.
When he arrived at the living room, Chen Luo saw his mother Wang Ninghui sitting upright on the sofa, gritted her teeth, squeezed out a few smiles, and asked, "Mom, do you have any latest instructions?"
Wang Ninghui looked up at Chen Luo, sighed softly, and said, "At half past six, Huamao Shopping Center, the main entrance."
"Okay." Chen Luo waited for a long time, but didn't hear his mother say anything. He couldn't help asking: "I've finished giving it, nothing else?"
Wang Ninghui nodded.
Chen Luo was quite puzzled when he saw that his mother looked depressed and had something unusual.
Last month, every time I went on a blind date, my mother would excitedly explain the girl's situation and hand it over to various contact information such as photos, mobile phone numbers, QQ numbers, msn in advance, and repeatedly reminded me that I would be like going on a blind date today and getting married tomorrow. But what happened today? I was not in a high mood, and I only told the time and place to go on a blind date, and I didn't even explain the most basic situation of the other party. It was a perfunctory attitude. Could it be that the blind date was 28 times a month, which made my mother completely desperate for me? No matter how bad I was, it was not as good as this! Among the girls who had the least blind date, half of them took the initiative to invite them from time to time.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo comforted with confidence: "Mom, don't worry, last month, I was too busy with work in the unit, and I didn't have the mood to see the girl I met. If I meet the right type tonight, I will definitely succeed in holding hands! I will definitely not let you worry."
"No, no, no..." After hearing what Chen Luo said, Wang Ninghui waved her hands repeatedly, looked up and saw her son's surprise. She was shocked and felt that she was out of control. She hurriedly explained: "Chen Luo, it's because I'm not considering it well. You are still young, so you don't have to hurry to get married. Everything is more important. When we meet tonight, you should just be a party between ordinary friends. Don't care too much, let alone take it seriously. Okay, it's getting late, you can change your clothes and go quickly. It's too formal to wear a suit."
After changing into casual clothes, Chen Luo, who was full of questions, came to the main entrance of Huamao Shopping Center before 6:30.
Standing at the entrance of the mall, watching the crowd coming and going in front of him, Chen Luo's suspicion became more and more serious. This was not a blind date, comparable to the contact between underground workers in the past. He didn't know what the other party looked like, and he didn't have any contact information. What's the matter with standing stupidly here?!
"It's impossible. The woman must have seen my photo or knew my mobile phone number. If she didn't know anything like me, then this blind date would not be possible. No matter how bored my mother was, she wouldn't joke about me." After thinking through the matter, Chen Luo looked at every young woman entering the mall with great interest. She felt a little excited. What would the girl who came here look like?
It was the weekend, and Huamao Shopping Center was the top shopping mall in the city. There were many young and beautiful girls coming to shop. Chen Luo was dazzled by the sight. There were several types he liked. Unlike the polite term "beauty" now, it was considered a real beauty in the strict sense. Unfortunately, there were either men around him or passing by without looking at him.
Chen Luo was not disappointed at all and was mentally prepared for this. The girls he saw last month on a blind date were very ordinary. After all, his family was ordinary. His mother, Wang Ninghui, was also a simple woman. The relatives and friends he came into contact with were on the same level. He did not ask for or fantasize about what kind of best you would encounter on a blind date. Seeing a beautiful woman is purely pleasing to the eye.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Chen Luo's eyes lit up and he let out a low and inauspicious cry. He saw a young girl in her early twenties walking towards her. She was wearing a white bag on her left shoulder and wearing a knee-length beige windbreaker. Her long hair was flowing and her appearance was pure and beautiful. She exuded a light temperament while looking around, and it immediately gathered the fiery eyes of the men around her.
The girl walked straight to Chen Luo and stood still, without saying a word, pursing her rosy lips, tilted her head slightly, and looked up and down at him.
Half a meter apart, you can smell a faint sweet fragrance. You have never had a close contact with such a beautiful beauty. Chen Luo beating wildly without competing. He quickly turned his head and looked around. There was no one else around him.
"You are Chen Luo? Chen with ears, Luo from Luoyang?" the girl asked, her voice pleasant.
"I am." Chen Luo nodded hurriedly.
The girl smiled slightly and said, "The traffic jams on the road, so I'm a little late, come with me." After saying that, the girl turned around and went to the east side of the mall.
This beautiful girl is the girl who came to date her blind date tonight? Looking at her graceful back that makes people imagine, Chen Luo felt a little dizzy. He never thought that the blind date was so outstanding. Even if all the girls who went on blind dates were added up, they could not even match half of her.
One by one, one behind, crossing a pedestrian street and coming to the door of a French restaurant. The girl stopped and turned around and said to Chen Luo: "I haven't eaten French cuisine for a long time. The dishes here are still authentic." Before Chen Luo could react, the girl entered the restaurant first.
"Eat French cuisine?!" Chen Luo took a breath and unconsciously reached into his pocket. With the monthly salary, can he still get out after going in? But since he has come, he can't escape at the last minute, right? At worst, he can get the year-end bonus for the whole year, even if he is extravagant. Take a step back and meet the girl for the first time, she will not order too expensive dishes. The two of them eat the same atmosphere. If the other party is rude and deliberately treats himself as a sucker, then...huhhhhh!
Making up his mind, Chen Luo let out a heavy breath and strode into this restaurant with elegant decoration and romantic atmosphere of France.
Guided by the blonde French waiter, passing through the restaurant lobby, Chen Luo followed the girl to a secluded window seat in the restaurant. After sitting down, the girl skillfully picked up the menu on the table, and ordered dishes to the French waiter with a warm smile in fluent French. After ordering, she handed the menu to Chen Luo elegantly and said with a smile: "I ordered some casually. Come and see what dishes do you want to eat?"
The colorful murals, brilliant chandeliers, dazzling silver tableware, and the young French girl and boy acted as waiters all proved that this was a pure French restaurant. Chen Luo took the meal list and saw that even the signs on the menu were in French. The only thing he could understand was the shocking price after each dish. It seemed that he would spend a meal here and the annual bonus would definitely be ruined.
"Is it the first time I'll eat French food? I'll order it for you." The girl sitting opposite Chen Luo saw Chen Luo holding the menu for a long time without making a sound, and saw his hesitation and rescued the situation in time.
Chen Luo didn't hide it and replied frankly: "Yes, I don't understand French food for the first time."
The girl explained to the waiter a few more words, and after ordering the dishes, she did not talk to Chen Luo, and drank the appetizing juice on her own.
Until now, he didn't even know the other party's name. Before the food was served, Chen Luo asked with a smile: "Your surname?"
The girl put down the wine glass, looked at Chen Luo in surprise, frowned and asked, "No, we will meet tonight, Aunt Wang hasn't mentioned me to you?"
"No...no." Chen Luo shook his head awkwardly.
The girl's eyebrows flashed with anger, and she smiled and said, "Oh, maybe Aunt Wang wants to leave you a surprise. Chen Luo, take a closer look, can you recognize me?"
"Recognize you?" Chen Luo was stunned. Hearing the girl say this, was she an acquaintance? But she seemed to have never seen her before. She looked carefully and searched in her mind. She didn't know anyone who could meet the girl in front of her. In the end, she had to shake her head blankly.
Without recognizing it, the girl didn't care and said coldly: "My grandfather is Yang Caiqing, and my father is Yang Chongwen."
"You... you turned out to be Grandpa Yang's granddaughter!" Chen Luo opened his eyes wide, looked at the girl in disbelief, racked his brains to come up with her name, and said excitedly: "Yang Jiaqi, I really didn't expect it to be you. The last time I saw you was probably more than ten years ago, right?"
Chen Luo finally recognized himself, but Yang Jiaqi was not happy at all, but her heart was full of disgust. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was a little dull. At this moment, the order was served. After the waiter started drinking, Yang Jiaqi glanced at the French cuisine on the table, looked at Chen Luo, suppressed her smile, and said calmly: "Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom first."
After leaving the dining table, Yang Jiaqi did not go to the bathroom. She walked around the lobby from the other side and walked out of the restaurant. When she arrived at the door, she turned around and looked at Chen Luo's position. A cramped smile surged into the corner of her mouth and whispered: "82's Lafite, fried fresh shells with foie gras sauce, baked snails, lobster set meal... hoho!"
