A WeChat message from Xiao Zhibiao read: "Miss Su, I can wait until you're free. Do you want to go downtown? I work downtown and am very familiar with the area." Su Tiantian realized that dragging it out like this wasn't going to work, so she replied to Xiao Zhibiao: "I don't think you and I are right for each other. I hope you find someone you like soon."

WeChat message from Lu Yufeng: Could it be that my cousin is really attracted to you, so proactive in reaching out to you? Are you planning a blind date with Zheng Junming?

Su Tiantian: I’m sorry, Yufeng, I just told your cousin directly that he and I are not suitable for each other.

Lu Yufeng: My cousin is generally okay, a bit dull, not very romantic, and has a good income. However, my aunt is a bit difficult to get along with. I respect your decision. Junming seems like a good guy, with a good job, a stable income, and he's from the same village, close to your home.

Su Tiantian: I was in distress. He told me on WeChat that he had told his parents about me, and his parents said they wanted to talk to me and my parents.

Lu Yufeng was shocked. "What? You and him haven't even started dating yet, and his parents want to talk to you and your parents? What kind of logic is that? Wait a minute, my cousin is looking for me."

From Zheng Junming's WeChat: Tiantian, if we're getting along, we can't avoid the parents' hurdle, so let's let the parents of both families meet first. Su Tiantian: No need, there's nothing to talk about. It's been so long since we last saw each other, or maybe we wouldn't even recognize each other when we met. We're just ordinary elementary and middle school classmates, so let's just maintain our friendship.

Su Tiantian replied to Lu Yufeng: "I just told Zheng Junming that he and I are just ordinary elementary and middle school classmates. There's no need for our parents to meet." "There's not even a single stroke in the ten characters. Why would our parents meet? We're from the same village. Is it necessary to meet his parents before we even start dating?"

Lu Yufeng: Yes, since they were classmates, they should at least meet and get along first. If they were compatible, their parents could then meet, or they could meet formally through an introducer. It's not like they could just meet each other's parents directly. There were so many production teams in our village, and I didn't necessarily know many people, nor did I know what their parents were like. I was embarrassed to ask my mom, after all, you and my cousin had been on a blind date, and she still wanted you to be with him. She said she'd watched you grow up and knew you were a good girl. She also advised my aunt to control her temper.

Su Tiantian: Yufeng, when are you free? I'm going back to Kuozhou on the 11th day of the first lunar month. I'd like to treat you to a meal or morning tea before I leave, okay? If it's convenient, bring your husband and children along.

Lu Yufeng: Okay, I’m a little busy these two days. I’ll make an appointment with you in two days. My cousin asked me about you. He said that you said you felt that he and you were not suitable, and asked me what was not suitable so he could change it. Is this something he can change?

Su Tiantian: Your cousin's personality is really not compatible with mine. You should persuade him.

Lu Yufeng: He's been on countless blind dates over the past few years. Because he's a quiet guy, we only saw each other at weddings or during the Lunar New Year, and we rarely chatted. It's rare for him to initiate a conversation like this. But if you don't like him, forget it. Don't force it.

Su Tiantian: Thank you for your help.

Lu Yufeng: Oh my god, my cousin sent me another WeChat message. He asked me to ask you out to the movies, and he will go too. He wants to take this opportunity to see you.

Su Tiantian: Don’t do that.

Lu Yufeng: If I really did that, I wouldn’t tell you in advance.

Su Tiantian: Tell him that I have a boyfriend.

Lu Yufeng: Really?

Su Tiantian: Just take it as the truth. I don't want to waste everyone's time. I really don't think your cousin and I are compatible and have no interest in getting along.

Lu Yufeng: Okay.

Su Tiantian: I'm going to sleep, Yufeng, you should go to bed soon too.

After replying to a bunch of messages, Su Tiantian was so exhausted that she fell asleep immediately. She didn't know what would greet her tomorrow, and if she knew, she might not be able to sleep.
