Saturday afternoon.

Shen Yinan changed into the casual clothes prepared by Chi Xingyao and made a final adjustment in front of the mirror.

When I opened the door, Xue Du was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.

Hearing the noise, he looked up at the boy's attire, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He wore a light-colored shirt with a sweater vest and his hair was drooping down. He was born young, and with this outfit, he looked like the little male protagonist in a campus novel.

"Going out?" Xue Du asked.

Shen Yinan nodded, and just when he was about to ask Xue Du if the previous project was finished, his phone rang again.

It was Chi Xingyao who called to urge him to hurry up.

After Shen Yinan said goodbye to Xue Du, he hurriedly put on his shoes and went downstairs.

The door closed, and silence returned to the huge house.

Xue Du put down his coffee, stood up and walked to the window.

Looking down, you can just see the fiery red sports car downstairs. Chi Xingyao is wearing sunglasses and saying something with an exaggerated expression.

Beside her, Ana Shen was a little reserved and stroked his sleeves several times in a minute.

Xue Du felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

What kind of blind date is it that makes him care so much?

He took a deep breath and went downstairs to the garage.

*

When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, Ana Shen was still a little uncomfortable.

He tugged at his sleeves and asked again, "Is it really okay for me to wear this? It feels weird."

Shen Yinan usually wears more casual clothes, but they are all hoodies or casual jackets, and he has never worn anything so student-like.

"You don't understand this." Chi Xingyao straightened his collar. "My blind date is already 27 or 28 years old. He must have a strong daddy vibe. He needs a youthful little puppy like you to make him feel inferior!"

Shen Yinan nodded ignorantly, and was pulled by Chi Xingyao to sit in the corner.

This corner is right opposite the position reserved for Chi Xingyao's blind date. Chi Xingyao's back can be seen from this corner, making it convenient for her to reach behind her to give instructions.

After Shen Yinan sat down for a while, the blind date didn’t show up.

Not far away, Chi Xingyao was playing Candy Crush out of boredom, her face wrinkled.

At this moment, Shen Yinan’s phone rang. It was Shen Hua calling.

He walked out of the restaurant and answered the phone in the corridor.

Chen Hua's tone was tired: "Nannan, how are you doing at the company recently?"

"It's fine. My colleagues take good care of me." Shen Yinan always reports good news but not bad news.

Shen Hua felt relieved, and after chatting for a few words, he said: "It's like this, grandma is going to He City next week, you have to take good care of yourself."

Shen Yinan frowned: “Why do you suddenly want to go out of town?”

Although Shen Hua's condition is not life-threatening, he still has to go to the hospital frequently. He usually doesn't leave home unless there is something wrong. What happened this time?

"Just going to see an old friend." Feeling Shen Yinan's silence, afraid that he would think too much, Shen Hua comforted him again, "Grandma is in good health now, don't worry, I will bring you some local specialties when I come back."

Hearing the other party’s tone, Ana Shen smiled: “Grandma, I’m not a child.”

"Grandma actually wishes you were a child." Shen Hua sighed.

After hanging up the phone, Ana Shen still felt a little uneasy.

He called the housekeeper again and confirmed that Shen Hua was in better condition than before. Only then did he feel relieved and planned to return to the restaurant to continue his mission.

As I passed the elevator, the door opened and a handsome young man with an elegant temperament walked out.

He seemed a little lost, and after seeing Shen Yinan, his eyes lit up: “Hello, may I ask where this is…”

When he saw Shen Yinan's face clearly, the young man's gentle eyes were filled with surprise: "You are... Shen Yinan? I finally meet you."

…

Ten minutes later, the elevator opened again.

Xue Du walked out of the elevator and casually made a phone call.

The call was connected quickly.

Footsteps were heard, and the other party seemed to have walked to a less crowded place. After the surroundings were quiet, a gentle voice sounded: "Why did you think of calling me?"

"I heard you returned home."

Xue Huaizhi was silent for three seconds: "I returned home the day before yesterday. You really don't care about me, do you?"

Xue Du walked into the restaurant, found a seat by the window, and said lazily, "Isn't this because I'm afraid it will affect your chances of finding a partner?"

As soon as Xue Huaizhi returned to China, the old lady started to arrange to find a partner for him. The group was filled with photos of daughters of various wealthy families every day, and even a few male celebrities. Xue Du's eyes hurt from seeing so much, so he blocked them temporarily.

Xue Huaizhi sighed: "Don't tease me, you never come to me for nothing, what do you want to see me for today?"

The waiter just happened to bring the menu, and Xue Du took it and said, "I want to have a meal with you."

He was about to mention the name of the restaurant, but Xue Huaizhi refused for the first time: "It's not convenient today. I have an appointment."

Xue Du was a little surprised.

Are you really going on a blind date?

It seems that the old lady pushed him hard enough.

I thought that if Xue Huaizhi was here, I would have a reason to meet Shen Yinan, but obviously, someone's plan was going to fail.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Du glanced around.

The restaurant was large and winding, with screens blocking the way at intervals, making it difficult to see someone.

Xue Du ordered a meal casually, stood up and walked around, and finally found Shen Yinan behind a screen.

He was lowering his head, and his head was close to the girl next to him, as if they were whispering.

Only when I got closer did I hear Chi Xingyao's excited voice: "...She's really beautiful, and not greasy at all. I can't believe I met such a top-notch person on a blind date!"

The best?

Xue Du frowned when he heard these two words.

Just as he was about to step forward, a surprised voice came from behind him: "Adu? Why are you here?"

Xue Du was stunned and turned to look at the man: "Brother?"

Xue Huaizhi curled his lips: "So you want to invite me to dinner here? What a coincidence."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Chi Xingyao's voice came from behind.

She looked at Xue Du, then at Xue Huaizhi, and touched her chin: "I said that I felt that Mr. Xue looked familiar at first sight."

"Miss Chi has good eyesight." Xue Huaizhi said with a smile, "We looked more alike when we were kids."

It was inconvenient to talk in the aisle, so the four of them moved to another table to chat.

When Chi Xingyao pulled Shen Yinan to the front, Xue Huaizhi briefly explained the situation to Xue Du.

He had seen Shen Yinan’s photo, and just now at the door of the restaurant, he recognized him at a glance.

But he rarely shows up in the country, and Shen Yinan stared at him warily for a long time, until he explained it, and then he was skeptical.

It just so happened that Chi Xingyao hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so when she walked out the door, the three of them sat down together.

Xue Du didn't expect that the old lady would even pull Chi Xingyao to arrange a blind date for his brother, which almost caused a misunderstanding.

After a few people sat down, no one spoke first and there was silence for a while.

Chi Xingyao picked up a random topic: "Mr. Xue has been abroad before. Why did you think of returning home recently?"

Xue Huaizhi said gently: "A'Du's birthday is coming soon, I thought I would come back eventually..."
