“Huh, you know…”

Xiao Qian took another tissue and blew her nose forcefully, “How could I not know? You came to Qiang City for a blind date, and you’re begging me like this. There’s nothing else but this, let me tell you, it’s not happening.”

She didn’t want anyone to see her so unladylike, blowing her nose like that.

Xiao Qian was someone who paid great attention to her image. With her current severe cold, she had to blow her nose every five minutes, complete with sound effects. Going out at this time would be so embarrassing.

“Please, we’re friends!”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll infect your blind date with my cold?”

“It would be better if he got infected, I don’t really want anything to do with him. It’s just that my dad said it’s rude not to give an old friend face, so I reluctantly agreed to check him out. But it’s so awkward to eat with a stranger, just accompany me, you don’t have to say anything the whole time, you just—” “You just want me to disgust him with my nose-blowing, right? Tell me you didn’t think of that.”

“Um…” Just a tiny bit, really not much.

Half an hour later, the listless Xiao Qian, sitting next to Lily Tang, was in the most upscale Western restaurant inside Qiang City’s tallest tower, facing the vast ocean outside the window, with the seat across from them empty.

“Do rich people’s blind dates always have to be so tacky? Choose the most expensive place, act pretentious and cool?” Xiao Qian had already downed two cups of coffee to boost her spirits, but she was still drowsy.

“My dad picked this place, not me… I think it’s a bit tacky too, Xiao Qian. What excuse should 1 use to refuse the other party politely?”

Shuixian asked.

“It’s easy. Him being late and letting a girl wait is enough to directly—Achoo!” Xiao Qian picked up a tissue and covered her nose, colds were so miserable. “Great, I’ll call my dad now.” Lily Tang appeared relieved, but discovered her phone was out of battery.

“Why does it have to pick now to die?”

“Here, use mine.” Xiao Qian took her phone out from her bag, but due to her cold, her grip slipped and the phone was about to fall to the floor.

A bone-clear hand quickly swept over from the side of the table, firmly catching Xiao Qian’s phone.

Xiao Qian looked up and saw a man wearing sunglasses holding her phone, smiling at her.

“Here you go.”

This man looked familiar… “Have I met you before?”

“I am Zhu Dexi.”

“Oh, you’re Zhu Da—Uh, Deputy General Manager Zhu!” Xiao Qian instantly remembered; wasn’t he her benefactor?

“Hello.” Zhu Dexi put down Xiao Qian’s phone, looked around as if searching for something.

“Excuse me, I need to attend to something.” He then started searching along the table.

His steps were steady, but his eyes looked somewhat lost.

“You know him?” Lily Tang asked Xiao Qian with hesitation. Xiao Qian nodded, “He’s my boyfriend’s coworker, from the same company.”

“The world is so small. Who wears sunglasses indoors? Is he all right in the head?” Lily Tang muttered quietly.

At this moment, Zhu Daodao circled around the window and then began walking along the wall, going around the other side.

There weren’t many diners at this time, and this seemingly aimless wandering attracted the attention of the waiters.

Lily Tang and Xiao Qian watched him together.

Xiao Qian seemed to understand something and asked Lily Tang in a low voice.

“It’s not what I think, is it?”

“I wish it weren’t… Xiao Qian, if I pretend to have an anorexia attack now, can we leave?”

Zhu Dexi was politely talking to a waiter, who gestured towards Xiao Qian’s table. Zhu Dexi walked over, looking embarrassed.

“Um, excuse me, are you Miss Tang?”

Thinking of her father’s request, Shuixian forced a smile. Where did this idiot even come from?

“I am Zhu Dexi, Uncle Tang asked me to come.” Zhu Dexi pulled out a chair and sat across from Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian sipped on her drink and thought.

“Shuixian, let’s switch seats.”

Xiao Qian felt that it wouldn’t be right to infect her benefactor with her cold.

Shuixian felt abandoned by her ally and looked at Xiao Qian with resentment. Xiao Qian blinked.

“Don’t be too tense, just relax. Have you guys ordered yet?” Zhu Dexi took the menu from the waiter, and since he couldn’t see clearly, he handed it over by feeling.

Shuixian was extremely embarrassed. If she had known earlier that her dad had set her up with an older man wearing sunglasses indoors, she would’ve just pretended to have an anorexia attack and stayed on the ground.

She tried to hide her emotions by holding her water glass, but just then, Zhu Dexi’s menu came over and knocked it over without bias.

Shuixian let out a yelp, and Zhu Dexi quickly stood up, wanting to help her wipe. He couldn’t see clearly, so he grabbed a napkin by feel and pressed it against a spot that seemed a bit off.

A second later, a crisp slap echoed throughout the restaurant.

Xiao Qian massaged her temples; her benefactor didn’t seem like this before…

Zhu Dexi probably knew what he had touched, and his face flushed red from his neck upward, like a red-faced soft-shelled turtle that had drunk too much wine. Um, Xiao Qian thought, using this kind of description for her benefactor didn’t seem appropriate.

Shuixian’s hand was still on his face, the same hand responsible for the crisp sound.

Zhu Dexi awkwardly retracted his hand, “I, I’m sorry, I, I—”

“Xiao Qian, let’s go!” Shuixian’s face was flushed as she took back her hand, her anger boiling.

A blind date going this badly, could it be any worse?

“Uh, if you leave like this, you’ll catch a cold.” Xiao Qian pointed at Shuixian’s soaked sweater.

After being splashed with the drink, it clung to her body, showing off her curves.

And the culprit was still standing there, looking embarrassed.

Shuixian felt like she was going to break down.

“There’s a shopping mall across the street, wait here, I’ll go buy some clothes.” Zhu Dexi probably also understood the concept of making up for his mistakes, as he quickly stood up and walked out.

Shuixian could only put on her coat, with anger surging from the bottom of her heart to her head, “Xiao Qian, how would you say the current situation with your Northeastern dialect?”

“Big idiot… Or you can be gentler, silly rabbit…”

“Chen Xiao Qian!”

Lily Tang glared at Xiao Qian, who swore she really wanted to harbor some sympathy, but…

“Pfff!”

She couldn’t help but laugh. Although the situation was bad, it was somehow filled with comedic elements.

As the two girls were communicating, they heard a thud from the front. Both girls looked back in unison.

Zhu Daodao, who had just rushed out in a hurry, had collided straight into a food cart, causing the beautifully arranged salad plates to crash down onto him with a clang.

The waiters were dumbfounded. What was going on? How could he run straight into such a big cart? Although the colors were a bit hard to recognise, still!

“It looks like your blind date venue is changing to the mall.” Xiao Qian pointed at Zhu Daodao’s colorful appearance. Zhu Daodao turned his head awkwardly. Although he was still wearing sunglasses, the embarrassment on his face combined with the mess on his body and the innocent waiter involved drew Shuixian’s whisper.

“He’s the real silly rabbit….”
