"Mom, is Qi Mingtao really coming to our house for dinner tomorrow?"

Wang Fen came to report that Qi Mingtao would come over for dinner tomorrow, and Ye Fang jumped three feet high with excitement.

"Whether it works or not will depend on tomorrow. If the other person doesn't have feelings for you, then just give up and look at the other person carefully."

Wang Juan tapped her nose lovingly, but her tone was unquestionable.

Ye Fang pursed her lips, "I know~"

Since it was to express gratitude, the dinner could not be vague. There had to be some main dishes, but fresh pork was hard to buy, so Wang Juan fried the bacon that Ye Qing brought back last time.

Two meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes, of high standard.

The next morning, Wang Fen brought Qi Mingtao to the Ye family. Except for Ye Qing who was not at home, the infant Ye Jianjun also expressed his warm welcome and cordial greetings to him, which made Qi Mingtao feel a little embarrassed.

Ye Erzhu secretly looked at him. The young man looked very upright in his green military uniform, making people feel very down-to-earth and reliable. He was also tall and handsome. To be honest, he was more than qualified to be a match for his daughter. If the two of them really got together, he would be considered too high for his status.

"Since you are related to Fangfang's second aunt, should I also call you Mingtao?"

Qi Mingtao was a little reserved, "Uncle, I'm a junior, just call me by my name."

Ye Erzhu nodded with a smile and soon started chatting with him about life in the army. Qi Mingtao seemed a lot more relaxed when talking about life in the army.

Ye Fang felt jealous watching the two of them talking and laughing. Since Qi Mingtao came in, he hadn't spoken a word to her except for greeting her.

"Dad, there's not enough water at home. Go get some more."

Wang Juan and Wang Fen were busy in the kitchen just now. Seeing that he was chatting enthusiastically and without any tact, they quickly sent him away.

Ye Erzhu frowned, "Didn't you just pick it this morning?"

"When you're done, hurry up, Fangfang can just stay in the room with you."

Ye Erzhu reacted and laughed. He said something to Qi Mingtao and went out.

As soon as he left, Ye Fang and Qi Mingtao were left alone in the room.

When Qi Mingtao thought about what his mother said yesterday that Ye Fang fell in love with him, he could no longer get along with her with the same mentality as before.

Finally having some space to be alone, Ye Fang looked at him with her big watery eyes. When she met his gaze, she shyly lowered her head.

Although Qi Mingtao had never had a girlfriend, he had heard many married comrades in the army say dirty words. So seeing her shy look, he knew that this girl was most likely really into him, which made him a little at a loss.

Both of them had their own thoughts in their minds, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

Ye Fang felt that this couldn't go on forever, so she spoke first to break the silence, "When are you going back to the army?"

"This vacation is only half a month."

Ye Fang nodded, but didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I heard you are also on a blind date?"

"Well, I'm not young anymore, and my parents want me to get married quickly. You don't look that old either, so why are you going on blind dates now?"

He pursed his lips and chuckled, his voice was indescribably pleasant, as if a feather was brushing across her heart, making Ye Fang feel itchy.

"My mom said we should settle down with someone suitable and get married in two years." Then she said as if jokingly, "Qi Mingtao, it just so happens that neither of us has a partner, so why don't we get together? Do you think I'm too young?"

"cough!"

Qi Mingtao was stunned. He really didn't expect the topic to change so quickly, and she was so direct. This was not what he expected.

Ye Fang couldn't wait any longer. His vacation was so short. If she didn't take this opportunity to make things clear today, what if he continued to go on blind dates and met someone he liked? She would cry to death.

Anyway, my eldest sister said that it’s not shameful for a girl to take the initiative when she meets someone she likes. She got my brother-in-law that way, so I’m sure I can do it too!

Seeing his surprised look, Ye Fang smiled and blinked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Qi Mingtao raised his hand to his lips and cleared his throat. He moved his body uncomfortably before speaking, "Don't joke. I'm five years older than you. You're just a little girl in my eyes."

Ye Fang retorted, "I'm not young anymore. I can get married in two years."

For the first time, Ye Fang hated herself for not being eighteen.

"We are not suitable. I think you and Jianwei are quite suitable. You are about the same age."

"Qi Mingtao!"

"You don't like me, so what's the point of putting me together with others?"

Ye Fang was very sad. She was rejected by the person she liked, and yet they were being matched up. Her eyes instantly turned red.

Qi Mingtao's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he quickly tried to comfort the person. This was in someone else's home, and there were only two of them in the room. If the other person's parents saw them, they would think that he was bullying their daughter.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Don't be angry. I didn't mean that. Don't take it to heart."

"I've taken it to heart. Since you don't have anyone you like anyway, why don't you try with me? What if you fall in love with me? I know I'm uneducated and a country girl is way too high for you, but I just like you. I've liked you since the day you saved me."

Now that things have come to this, Ye Fang no longer hides anything and plays it straight, telling him exactly what she feels for him.

"Don't say that. What's the point of marrying up? Nowadays, everyone is equal. We are all the same."

"You just think I'm too young. Aren't you only 21? Can you wait for me for two years? Just two years. My birthday is older, in March, but I'm actually almost 17."

"Let me think about it."

Ye Fang was quite good except that she was a little young. She had a pleasant personality and was not ugly. He did not dislike her. In fact, he had made plans from the moment he agreed to his mother's blind date and marriage. As long as the two of them got along well, it would be fine. Feelings could be cultivated after marriage. Nowadays, everyone who goes on a blind date will quickly get married if they feel they are suitable after meeting once. There is no time to get to know each other better.

Qi Mingtao felt that if the person he wanted to marry was Ye Fang, he would be able to accept it, so he did not continue to reject her.

"Okay, then think about it carefully. How long do you want to think about it?"

Seeing that he didn't continue to reject her, Ye Fang immediately laughed. Didn't he hate her?

"Can I have two days?"

"Two more days? Can't today be enough? What else do you have to consider? I think we are a good match. Do you hate me?"

Qi Mingtao shook his head, "Not annoying."

"If you don't hate it, then you like it. Are you embarrassed to admit it?"

Ye Fang winked at him mischievously. Qi Mingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of theory was this?
