This damn system is finally making its death throes.

Jiang Mian was more surprised than delighted. She wanted to find a place to test whether she could change back.

But she had already walked outside the comic convention, and the three people on the roadside naturally saw her.

If I were to turn around and walk back now, it would seem as if I were deliberately avoiding them, and the three of them would probably definitely chase after me.

Jiang Mian was extremely frustrated, but unfortunately, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and deal with it.

But being as observant as she was, she still sensed something was amiss.

Because she could clearly see He Yubai, who was dressed to the nines, in a suit and tie, with his hair meticulously styled, standing next to his beloved luxury car, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

As her roommate, Jiang Mian had repeatedly marveled at He Yubai's great figure, praising his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and inverted triangle shape, calling him a walking clothes hanger. She was tired of saying such compliments.

As a second-generation rich kid, he doesn't indulge in debauchery or sensual pleasures, yet he's both handsome and intelligent. This immense wealth should rightfully belong to the He family!

Even though they were far apart, the other person's air of nobility was hard to ignore.

Look at those long legs, they're practically longer than her life!

The male bloggers on Douyin who push the boundaries always show their audience their muscular physiques after taking off their clothes.

But looking at He Yubai's slim figure in clothes, Jiang Mian subconsciously recalled in her mind what he looked like when he took his clothes off and was muscular.

See? Outstanding people naturally inspire envy and jealousy.

People who are smarter than you not only have great physiques, but they are also extremely wealthy.

Anyone would be jealous of that!

He Yubai was gazing at her with deep affection, with Liu Yitang and Zhou Ziyu standing beside him.

Although the two usually didn't get along, their behavior was surprisingly consistent at this moment.

Looking at He Yubai, who was dressed like a male peacock beside them, the two of them rolled their eyes higher than the other.

And that's not all, but the key point is that these three people seemed to be deliberately drawing a line between themselves today.

They were all quite far apart, as if they intended not to interfere with or disturb each other.

The three of them looked at Jiang Mian in unison, their expressions clearly conveying the question: Who will you walk towards first?!

Jiang Mian: "???"

He/She has a serious illness!?

Jiang Mian slowed down her pace after being tricked like this.

She slowed her pace and her eyes darted around, as if she was considering something.

The three of them mistakenly thought that she was thinking about who she should approach.

Then, they became even more nervous than Jiang Mian.

But Jiang Mian felt that the three of them had inexplicably created an embarrassing atmosphere, and all she wanted to do now was run away!

A soft laugh came from a private room in the restaurant across the street.

Looking out the floor-to-ceiling window, Song Huaizhi watched the events unfold with great interest.

Noticing that he was getting distracted, the girl sitting opposite him, with her exquisite makeup and elegant demeanor, joked, "Mr. Song, the way you treat ladies so coldly is not the behavior of a good gentleman."

"Feel sorry."

Song Huaizhi withdrew his gaze, a faint smile still playing on his lips.

Under the soft glow, the girl realized for the first time that even a polite and aloof guy like Song Huaizhi could show such a human side.

Children from scholarly families are naturally well-mannered, which is something she can observe.

It's just that people in their circle are well-mannered and know the rules, which means that their words and actions are regulated.

To put it bluntly, they were not free; they were raised in chains, burdened with the hopes of their families.

Their words and actions must not cross the line.

Then they passively play their respective roles and accept those meaningless compliments.

Life, like the Dead Sea, always lacks the stimulation of passion.

She assumed that her blind date would be another guy with a lot of flaws.

Although she was not very old, as a girl in high society, she was nothing more than a marriage partner for her family, a cornerstone for building a powerful alliance.

Since graduating, she has been arranged to go on blind dates by her family and has met all sorts of men in this circle.

Boring, disgusting, even looks like it hasn't been weaned yet.

The world is vast, and thanks to the extensive platform provided by her family, she always encounters bizarre and unheard-of people who constantly push the boundaries of her understanding.

When she first met Song Huai today, she was indeed slightly amazed at first glance.

But physical appearance does not determine one's inner qualities.

She tried to start a conversation and began talking to the other person.

They lacked the stubbornness and indecisiveness of the boys I remembered.

Song Huaizhi spoke with ease, and because of his professional competence, he seemed like a good teacher and helpful friend.

Although they had a pleasant conversation, there always seemed to be something between them.

To put it bluntly, she doesn't consider herself bad at all.

Song Huaizhi was polite but distant, treating the blind date as if it were a task.

She felt somewhat frustrated.

Having almost finished the food on his plate, Song Huaizhi took a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Thinking back to his mother's flawed words today, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Although he had told his family long ago that he wouldn't consider marriage too early.

But his mother was clearly in a hurry first, and used the excuse of "making friends" to get him to attend this blind date.

No wonder his mother made him return to China when he was stuck on his graduation project, and his professor also found reasons to make him return to China.

Now that he's back, his mother has arranged his marriage for him without his consent.

Song Huaizhi could only manage a helpless smile.

"I think Teacher Song's mind isn't really on this, so why don't we just do you a favor and let you leave?"

The girl across from him suddenly smiled, then stood up and said, "This meal is on me today, so Teacher Song, you owe me a meal for now."

Song Huaizhi smiled in agreement: "Okay, I'll definitely treat you another day."

This is what makes a smart girl: she uses a strategic retreat to advance, demonstrating her good manners and giving herself another chance.

The method was indeed ingenious.

Song Huaizhi could naturally guess most of what the other party was thinking.

But whether or not such a thing succeeds depends on the wishes of both parties.

He didn't think that such a girl was too calculating.

On the contrary, he was more amazed by the other party's shrewdness.

Girls should be like this; knowing how to fight for themselves is the greatest courage.

The other party nodded and left the private room with an air of nonchalance.

Song Huaizhi didn't touch the red wine on the table either.

Because he was somewhat resistant to the blind date arranged by his family, he was waiting so that if the conversation didn't go well, he could find an excuse to leave as soon as possible.

After drinking this, he probably won't be able to drive.

After asking the waiter for a glass of warm water, Song Huaizhi noticed that the situation seemed to be dragging on for a while, and a wicked thought welled up in his mind.

He took his coat from the back of the chair and left the private room.
