Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Suppressing her emotions and asking her to choose between two options

Li Huanhuan came to the tea restaurant where she was going to have a blind date today.

After arriving, she found that this place was very close to the Sirius Club. But it was too late to change place. I could only pray that I would not meet Qin Shi, Hu Xun and others.

It's not that she felt guilty, she just felt it would be embarrassing to encounter it.

She had not been sitting in her seat for long when Aunt Luo's nephew arrived.

"Sorry, we were delayed by something in the team." said the visitor.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall and a little thin. He was wearing dark blue work clothes and a black baseball cap, and seemed to have come in a hurry. When he took off his baseball cap, Li Huanhuan saw that face.

It was similar to what Aunt Luo said, about 30 years old, with regular features, a faint "chuan" mark on his brow, a calm expression, and seemed to be a serious person in life.

Li Huanhuan remembered that the other party’s surname was “Yang”.

"It's okay, I just got here too." She waved her hand.

Yang Shantai sat down upright opposite Li Huanhuan, and with a clatter, a bunch of keys were placed on the table.

"What would you like to drink?" Yang Shantai had already picked up the drink menu on the table.

Li Huanhuan quickly glanced at it and said, "A cup of jasmine tea."

"Anything else?" he asked.

"there is none left."

"OK."

Yang Shantai raised his hand to call the restaurant waiter, ordered a cup of jasmine tea, and then ordered a cup of chrysanthemum tea for himself. Soon, two cups of scented tea were served.

White steam coming out of the teacup adds a bit of warmth to this winter day.

Yang Shantai looked at Li Huanhuan across from him and said, "My name is Yang Shantai, I'm 30 years old, and I'm currently a coach in a club."

Li Huanhuan thought the name "Yang Shantai" sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she didn't think much about it. She picked up the teacup in front of her and felt the temperature of the tea passing through the cup into her palm. "My name is Li Huanhuan, I'm 26 years old, and I'm a video blogger."

"Ms. Li, excuse me for asking, are you willing to go on today's blind date?" Yang Shantai stared at her and suddenly spoke.

Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

She had been on 80 blind dates before. When I went on blind dates before, I had met people who were very straightforward and asked this question as soon as they met. Li Huanhuan already has experience in dealing with this type of blind date.

"What about you, Mr. Yang? What do you think about this matter?" Li Huanhuan said with a smile.

Experience 1: Don’t admit it directly.

Otherwise, there will be the following two consequences.

Consequence 1: The other party has bad character and turns around to make up stories and tells the matchmaker that you were forced by your family to come for a blind date and you have no sincerity at all. When this reaches the ears of parents, it may trigger a "family tsunami".

Consequence 2: The other person is a decent person. To be frank, he was forced to come for a blind date by his family. The two happily reached a temporary cooperation, found an excuse, and went home to deal with both sides' parents.

This question is a trap, and no matter how you answer it, you will take risks. It's best not to be too sincere when you don't know the other person's character.

Experience 2: Throw the problem back wisely.

Then make the next response based on the other party’s reaction.

In just two seconds, Li Huanhuan had drawn a world map in his mind, but Yang Shantai, who was sitting opposite him, didn't think so much.

He clasped his hands together, placed them on the table, and said frankly, "I'm not opposed to blind dates, but first, I want to tell you about my situation. Because of my work, I need to spend a lot of time at my club, including my personal time. I may not be a qualified partner for my significant other."

"You mean to say that you can't balance your relationship matters right now." Li Huanhuan didn't expect that the other party was such an honest person.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Perhaps because he often faces team players, Yang Shantai speaks very directly and does not like to beat around the bush. "My current focus is on my team. I hope to lead them to win the championship next year, the year after... and many years to come."

A man who is devoted to his career.

This is Li Huanhuan’s impression of Yang Shantai.

It just so happens that she doesn’t want to go on a blind date either. She likes to create and hopes to spend most of her life on video creation. She hopes to create the most satisfying works in her lifetime and realize her life value and ideals.

However, her personal ideals are not easy to understand for traditional marriage and family. Therefore, she will become more cautious in choosing a partner.

Li Huanhuan leaned back in his chair as if relieved, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, it seems that our goals are the same."

Yang Shantai looked at the smile on her face, was stunned for a moment, quickly picked up the teacup, and nodded: "Yes."

Yang Shantai lowered his head and drank tea.

Li Huanhuan calculated the time and thought that he could leave after sitting for a while. Inadvertently, my eyes fell on the baseball cap that Yang Shantai placed on the table. I always felt that the logo on the baseball cap looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"Mr. Yang, you mentioned the club before. Excuse me, which club do you work for? I remember there is an e-sports club called Tianlang nearby." Li Huanhuan asked tentatively.

But I was thinking in my heart, please don’t let that be the case.

Yang Shantai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the club I work for is Tianlang."

“That’s true.”

Li Huanhuan's expression fell apart.

"This is it! Parrot recommended it in the practice room before, saying that the egg tarts here are delicious! There were a lot of people there at that time..." At the entrance of the restaurant, Qin Shi and his group appeared there.

Leading the way was Hu Xun, who had red hair. In order to get Qin Shi to come here with them, he spent a lot of effort on the road. Even when he reached the door, he was still chattering.

"There aren't many people!" said the short-haired girl in the team.

Sasa is a member of the Sirius women's team. As she is Hu Xun's distant cousin, she often acts with them.

"Let's go to the front desk first to see what special egg tarts we have today~" Hu Xun looked at the huge egg tart poster inside and his eyes immediately lit up and he rushed forward excitedly.

Sasa, Zhou Jianyu, and A Kun, a gentle boy wearing glasses, followed behind him.

Qin Shi walked at the back.

He put his hands in his pockets and was about to go in, but suddenly his eyes paused and looked towards the corner of the restaurant. Sitting in the corner was Li Huanhuan, whom I hadn’t seen for many days.

Li Huanhuan is also in this restaurant.

Qin Shi was hesitating whether to go over when he saw a man in blue work clothes sitting opposite Li Huanhuan. Because of the angle, Qin Shi couldn't see Yang Shantai's face. He could only see half of his back hidden by green plants.

After knowing each other for these few days, he certainly knew that Li Huanhuan was a "nerd" who didn't like to go out.

But now, she showed up in a restaurant with a man on a Saturday afternoon? This made Qin Shi think that she was on a blind date.

Blind date?

As soon as this word popped into his mind, it was like the seasoning area in the kitchen was overturned. Soy sauce, vinegar, salt, MSG, pepper... all the seasonings were mixed together, and he felt a mixture of emotions.

At this time, Yang Shantai's phone rang.

He made an apologetic gesture towards Li Huanhuan and stood up to answer the phone.

Li Huanhuan put the teacup back on the table, took out his cell phone to check the time, and felt that it was almost time to end. After all, this place is near the Sirius Club, and it would be bad if we ran into someone we know.

At this moment, she noticed someone coming to her seat with her head down. She thought it was Yang Shantai who had been on the phone and came back, so she raised her head and said, "Mr. Yang, it's almost time. I think we should leave it at that for now. Thank you..."

The second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat.

Li Huanhuan looked in surprise at Qin Shi, who had appeared at the dining table at some point in time.

"Qin, Qin Shi? Why are you here?" She opened her mouth and froze.

They haven't had any contact since their last unpleasant meeting downstairs at the seafood restaurant. Li Huanhuan thought that they would not meet again for a long time.

After not seeing each other for many days, Qin Shi's attitude became even stranger.

His attitude became colder and his eyes became more complicated. After Li Huanhuan greeted her, the other party said nothing, glared at her fiercely, and turned away.

Um?

Li Huanhuan fell into distress.

Before she could figure it out, Qin Shi came back and stood in front of her again. Qin Shi's jaw was tense, as if he was suppressing his emotions:

"Do you really have to go on a blind date?"

"What?"

Li Huanhuan looked at him puzzledly.

Qin Shi took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and stared at her with his deep eyes: "You have two choices, either I choose you, or I will tell Fox about your blind date in private. You choose."

"Choose? Why should I choose? And what does it have to do with Canyang?" Li Huanhuan found him confusing.

"Tsk, Canyang, Canyang? You call me so affectionately."

Qin Shi was so angry that his nose was crooked. Jealousy made him look sour and hateful. He started to bring up the past again, "Don't you like him? Not only did you buy him tea eggs, but you also applied it to him with your own hands? For him, you stood me up and made me stand in the cold wind for two hours!"

He started to talk without thinking, "I really don't understand, since you like Fox, why do you go on a blind date with me while going on a blind date with other men? Or do you just enjoy the fun of blind dates? If you enjoy it, then I will accompany you! But I won't allow you to go on blind dates with other men again!"

Qin Shi bent down, put his hands on the dining table, stared at Li Huanhuan's eyes, and threatened, "Li Huanhuan, tell me your answer quickly! You don't want Fox to misunderstand that you are an amorous woman, right? Am I not good enough? Isn't having me enough?"

Qin Shi at this moment was horrible and out of character.

Jealousy drove him crazy.

Li Huanhuan stared at the face in front of him and opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't find any sign of a joke on his face: "You, are you sick? Why are you saying this?"

She said she liked Canyang and that she was dating different men at the same time? It’s so abominable!

"Are you out of your mind?" Li Huanhuan could no longer bear it and said something that was extremely rude to her.

"Do you think there's something wrong with my brain?" Qin Shi glared at her with red eyes.

Li Huanhuan actually thought he was sick?

She bought tea eggs for Fox, but thought he was sick?

Qin Shi was distraught and devastated.

"Ms. Li, I have something to do here. Can you please come first, Qin Shi?" Someone came over.

Qin Shi turned his head, his expression froze: "Old Yang?"
